One of the more aggravating quests. Come in the backside of the catacombs (northside close to Farstrider Retreat). Be sure to clear all of the trolls down the hall, in the antechamber on the left, and in the main room. Once she opens the cage, just move a little ahead of her in case of respawns, and these trolls respawn fairly quickly. What makes this quest aggravating (like all escort quests) is she walks very slowly. If a troll respawns along the path, she will run up to help you fight it, then run back to where she was when you entered combat. Once you get outside, 2 trolls spawn to attack you, take care of them quickly and stay with her as she finally runs to Farstrider Retreat. If you stray to far away from her, you can fail the quest.
The mobs are level 16-17, not too tough except for the Amani type trolls that will run when you get them close to death, aggroing any mobs around them you haven't already cleared.

you don't need to pick the lock, if she doesn't get up and open it herself, drop the quest and pick it up again and it should work, happened to me in a group
she's in the big circular room that triggers the "investigate the amani catacombs" from the other quest, fairly easy to do as long as you can handle the adds, done it solo and with another now
Since after each fight, her hp heals itself, I casted blessing on might on her and let her solo the quest. :D
Watch out she doesn't take on two mobs though, then you'll have to intervene. :P
Don't expect much xp or loot, but still it's pretty funny to watch.

Description
These trolls ambushed me and have been keeping me in this cage. I think they're planning to sacrifice me! Help me get out of here! The lock on the cage isn't that complex... I just can't get to it from this side. Please escort me back to the Farstrider Enclave. I'm sure Captain Helios will reward you, and you'll have my undying gratitude!
