The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
The guards are dead and you're pretty much finding their remains, the first one is to the left of the river flowing south from the lake, the other one is by the murlocs. This one is hard to get because he is surrounded by 3 or 4 murlocs that like to aggro friends. It's much easier if you have a group.

Description
A few days ago we sent two Guards, Rolf and Malakai, to investigate along the river, and they have not yet returned. To complete my report, I must know what happened to those men. Travel north along the river and find the guards... or their remains.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

If the "Collector" is taking gold from our mines then he's stealing from the kingdom! Bring the Collector to justice, and bring me the ring mentioned in the pickup schedule you gave me. It may tell us whom the Collector is working for...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Discover Rolf's Fate
Upon further searching the area, you find webbed footprints leading east along the shore of Stone Cairn Lake. In the distance to the east, you can just barely see a Murloc village. Perhaps Rolf's fate ended there...
