I don't know why, but the first time I approached the cave entrance it wouldn't clear. Possibly because I was mounted? I abandoned the quest, went back and got it again, ran back over and the Earthen with me finally blew away the rocks.

What to do
Description
Unless it is a convergence of coincidence, whoever these large outlanders are, they appear to also be interested in the crystal's signal--and the location of its origin. We earthen do not often take stock in coincidences. Engage your defense protocols, {name}. These outlanders are not hospitable like your people.
Where to go
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.

I'm not sure if I were mounted when I came to the cave first with my mage. But nothing happened. I blinked through... still nothing happened. Then I read your comment and blinked out. After that the Earthen blew away the rocks.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Second Signal
An unexpected development. The energy signature appears to have a secondary source--and it is just north of here. Curiosity activated. Judging from the estimated size of the crystal, I theorize it might be a secondary exposed facet. Further investigation is required. Follow me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Buried Secrets
These ruins are... quite old. Well, old by most outlanders' standards. Which begs the question: was finding this chamber the unfriendly outlanders' directive, or was it finding the tablet?
