TheWoWDBInstructions for the directionally challenged - like myself.
When you enter Stromgarde, take your first right as soon as you pass under the low stone bridge immediately inside the entrance.
Then take your first left. You'll know you're at the correct corner when you see two mutilated bodies impaled on spikes, mounted on a low stone pillar.
Follow the walled path down the slope and when you get to the bottom, bear to the right and the mobs you want are in the courtyards directly in front of you.

after you finish the quest, Alina says this: "Cleared out properly? Good. I doupt we'll even bother to lurk in Stromgarde. That ramshackle hole needs to be razed into dust. The land would make a decent spot for a new Undercity in its place."
NEW Undercity? Whats wrong with the old one?

Belt of Gutted Ruin, Lurking Belt, Extra Credit Boots, 10g 50s, 6,200 XPDescription
Our next strike against the ogres will bring you further east to Stromgarde. The living consider these gutted ruins worth clinging to. Their sentimentality is disgusting! All that Stromgarde holds for us is a foul den of more ogres, waiting to be struck down. Travel there and slay their shamans and lords, and ensure what passes for leadership among the ogres is snuffed out.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Clearing the Highlands
No threat here will go overlooked. If we are to secure these lands under the Dark Lady's rule, we will tear from them everything living, inch by inch, piece by piece. To the northeast, not a stone's throw away from this camp is an ogre mound.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Real Threat
Or'Kalar leads the ogres here. He has evaded slaughter for years. His very presence is an affront to the Dark Lady; Mug'thol, traitor to the Forsaken, commands him from afar! We do not suffer ogres or traitors on Forsaken land.
