I tried dismounting, then dismounting and reloading, and finally dismounting and relogging and that finally worked

Description
The patrol's been quiet today. And that's got me worried, {name}. Ever since the Alliance sacked Taurajo, none of our positions are secure. You look like you can handle yourself - can you scout around for me? Check in with my son Marley outside the Bael Modan excavation, southeast of here. The site's exposed and susceptible to raids, and my son's too proud to signal for help if he needs it.
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 had to leave the zone, dismount, walk back and walk up the ramp several times.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Echoes of Agamaggan
I think the quilboar are being driven by more than just crude desire. Would you help me look into this further? To the west, scattered among the quilboar's settlements and camps, I've noticed boar skulls.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hands Off Me Dig!
Look at the chaos down there, <name>! I've instructed the foremen to save what artifacts they can. Who knows what treasures these tauren animals are like to make off with. Can you help get a handle on things? Kill the raiders and save what artifacts you can.
