The key is in the middle of the cave. But don't turn in so quickly. You're likely to have Mastering Puppets with you. Do that first, and its follow up Elementary!. After that, the ogres become neutral, then turn in this quest, because you'll escort him out in the next quest:

IMPORTANT INFO:
- End of the Supply Line and Harrying the Hunters can be done by both factions, but "The Voice of..." followup requrement is different.
- Goldrinn's Ferocity and Howling Mad allows other players to share you quests next on line, but Lycanthoth the Corruptor{H} will let you be in same phase as npc.
- Into the Maw!{A2;H;H2}. There are 2Alliance and 2Horde variants, for each faction one from wolf spirit and one backup from main quest guy in Shrine of Goldrinn.
- Whole Firelands Forgeworks(8) chain doesn't have any pre-quests. You can get first time to Hyjal and ask warlock to summon you there and do the quests. However Lightning in a Bottle{H} is needed to use the standart teleport.
Some of my toons can get it, some can't. :(

What to do
Description
<Kristoff cranes his neck, trying to look you in the eye.> Listen, you gotta get me outta here. They're either going to eat me or turn me over to the Twilight's Hammer. Maybe both. They've padlocked me in, and Gar'gol keeps the key in his personal treasure chest. Kill Gar'gol if you have to - but get that key! <Kristoff flails his limbs, helplessly.>

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lightning in a Bottle
Lo'Gosh granted me a vision while you were in the hovel, <name>. I saw you striding across the Lightning Ledge, with lightning bolts in your hand. The vision was powerful: Lo'Gosh feels this is of utmost importance. We must not fail the ancient.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Get Me Outta Here!
<You reach up to unfasten Kristoff's bonds.> Good! Make a break for the exit, and I'll follow. If we get separated, check back here to make sure I haven't been recaptured.
