TheWoWDBJust did the quest chains here as alliance, and after doing the chain involving killing leaders and getting the "Trouble ad highperch" quest the feralas sentinel disappeared and is nowehere to be found.
Finish and turn this in before turning in invoking the serpent (or at least before accepting trouble at highperch.)

I didn't turn it in right away and lost the Sentinel. However, I went back to the cave where Lakota Windsong is, and the Sentinel was there. Whew!
for all those who are doing this for the item reward,then know the following:
this quest is available only after having done many thousand needles quests before. The guy that'll start the event for this quest is [npc=40027], the co-owner of the Fizzle and Pozzik's Speedbarge, on the lower right corner of the thousand needle's world map.
I started ALL the quests by going at New Thalanaar, which is in feralas, on the middle right of it's world map. The quest giver was fighting grimtotems behind the tower. From there,i had to do all the quests given to me until Fizzle finally decided to give me the quest called " Free Freewind Post ".
The questgiver of Darkcloud Grimtotem has its location unknown because it's actually someone following you once you do a few of the quests the NPC called [npc=41392] gives you. Once you start the quest given by [npc=41444] called "Save the Sentinel" a few quests later if not right away, the sentinel will follow you. Just do her quests and you'll fall on this quest at one point.
PEOPLE WITH PETS ( HUNTERS AND LOCKS ) : dismiss your pet as soon as you get the sentinel quest. If you don't ,you'll realize you won't have any more quests and be stranded questless on that island. If already so, just dismiss your pet and run between the needle pillars associated with the grimtotem,and the sentinel should appear.

There's no way around it. If you want to win a battle, you have to spill some blood. In this case... a lot of it. You know what we have to do.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- No Weapons For You!
The Grimtotem want to fight? Let us see how well they do without their weapons. I'm sure you must have something that burns. Set their weapon racks ablaze, my <class> friend. Let nature take its course.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Grimtotem Chiefs: Isha Gloomaxe
Sentinel training 101: take out their leaders and your enemy's forces will soon fall apart. We're going to do just that, <class>. Isha Gloomaxe is the closest of the Grimtotem chiefs. Let's see if we can't take her measure.
