I thought the same. The question mark was down next to the inn with no npc, but I found him up near the well at (25.55,70.14)
Yeah, Pureheart's coords are correct, (if poorly formatted for copy/pasting. :P) /way 25.55 70.14 gets you to him. The quest marker does originally show in the inn for some reason. I've noticed this kind of problem with several quests so far, seems to be phasing.

We'll be able to push those monsters back now, but my defenders won't stand a chance unless we build a forward barricade for protection. There should be plenty of lumber to build a barricade near the entrance to town.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- So Long, Sister
We have given the defenders some breathing room, but these creatures continue to lay siege to the barricade! The witch behind the attack fled from the field when we defeated her forces. I saw her go into the mansion on the hill. I will help keep the defenses going here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bramblethorn
I was playing with Lord and Lady Sharptooth when Papa made me come with him. I dropped poor Lord Sharptooth and one of those big mean monsters grabbed him! Papa said he'd try to get him back but he's been gone a long time. I think he got busy.
