This took logging out and back in for me.

Description
The Blackrock orcs don't come alone. You've already seen that they've got the Firegut ogres and Smolderthorn trolls on their side. Unfortunately for us, they're also teamed up with the black dragonflight. The orcs and the dragons have already sent some of their champions to stand guard at rally points, which are marked by a dragon skull on a pike. You and I are going to find these rally points and take out this vanguard before the battle starts. Ready?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Blood Tour
My legs are getting a little restless again. You interested in taking a little tour, <name>? We're going to take a trip around Dreadmaul Rock. I'd like to investigate some of the Blackrock army before we make our move, and I figure we might as well kill some of them while we're on the way.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Deal With a Dragon
While we are circling around Dreadmaul Rock, there's one more stop that we need to make. You remember the hatchlings that you freed from the Whelping Downs? Troteman's been hanging onto them, and we're going to deliver them to someone who will take care of them better than we can.
