After you enter Stonefury Cliffs, from the flight path, as you get to the bottom, there is the one path heading up into Stonefury and it has bones along the right side of the path. Hug the bones and when they end, there is a little path heading up to the top of the rise creating the cliff you were against. (If you enter Stonefury Cliffs and all the Ogres and other NPC's despawn and are not there - READ THE NOTE at the bottom of this post.)

/way 48.8 14.7 Owynn Graddock
/way 49.9 15.4 Nub the Torturer

As you get to the top, there is a little tent like structure to the right and you find [npc=78056]. He will give you the follow-up:

Out of the Chains:
You go across the camp and kill the big-jailor Ogre, [npc=78174], and loot the [item=110116], returning to [npc=78056], and unlocking the ball attached to his shackle. Complete Out of the Chains with [npc=78056] and he will give you the follow-up:

Gearing Up:
Go back down turn right and follow the left and up the first path keeping left. Across the first area, take the road up to the second area. The [object=228990] is sitting just to the left of the door to the building. It contains [item=110229].

Go back to the bottom and straignt ahead, slightly left is a wooden fence on each side of the entrance (usually guarded by two Ogres). Go through and straight ahead is a tower. Go around the building to the right, and behind it will be a table with [object=228577] leaning up against the building. Loot it and take [item=110149].

Back to the front of the building and instead of going out, down to the left, take the path up to the right (Straight ahead no right turn... right fork). Keep following the path to the very top. As you enter the top area, there is a building to your right and just past that building is a table with the [object=229019] (which contains [item=110232]).

Collect:
49.8, 21.2 [item=110229] (contained within [object=228990])
43.9, 15.1 [item=110149] (contained within [object=228577])
45.2, 21.1 [item=110232]


TomTom:
/way 49.8 21.2 Owynn's Armor (Ogre Chest)
/way 43.9 15.1 Owynn's Mace (Noggenknocker)
/way 45.2 21.1 Owynn's Dagger

Back to the starting point and hand in Gearing Up to [npc=78056], who will then become [npc=78185] and offer you the follow-up:

Seeking the Truth:
Escort [npc=78239] back down, following the path to the [object=228577] behind the tower, and continue across the lava. At the other side hard left (between the first two buildings) and a follow the path to the cave (40.4, 21.4 - Same cave where you met [npc=78428] earlier). As you begin to enter the cave, Seeking the Truth will complete and you hand it in to [npc=78239]. Who then gives you the follow-up:

The Shadow Gate:
Immediately to a video cut showing [npc=77997] creating a portal and tasking [npc=78003] to guard it. You go in and kill [npc=78003] then take the portal, and hand in The Shadow Gate to [npc=78470]. Who does a bit of RP then [npc=78428] appears and offers the follow-up quests:

Cleansing the Souls
Kill [npc=77966] and use the provided [item=110394] on their corpses.
and
The Totems That Bind
Find [object=229131]s and loot the [item=110378] from them.

The followup from [npc=78428]:
Soulgrinder Survivor
Click two [object=229131] and kill [npc=77997] when he spawns after a short RP with [npc=78428].

Eventually ending with a hand in to [npc=78810].

=========================================
NOTE at the BOTTOM:

If you show up on the Stonefury Cliffs only to find that all the mobs have despawned and it is barren, it means you need to find [npc=78428] and do a quest chain.

To get to [npc=78428], you continue through the Stonefury Cliffs until you come to the lava. Cross the lava, and when you get to 41, 15 you will begin to see ghosts and such. When you see an [npc=77969] you are getting there. Take the path south along the lava (keeping the lava to your left). The path will lead to a cave (40.2 21.5) with [npc=78428] waiting for you.

The first two quests you do for her simultaneously will be:
Cleansing the Souls
and
The Totems That Bind

The followup that will allow you to see the inhabitants of the Stonefury Cliffs is:
Soulgrinder Survivor

I put the Alliance version of the quests here, since most Horde will have done these already.
Finding [npc=78428] took me forever. I backed out of Stonefury and made my way all over the map trying to get to the ! for [npc=78428]. No luck until I went back through the Stonefury Cliffs to get to her.

Description

Commander, I have bad news to report. Agent Graddock was out on assignment to keep an eye on the Bloodmaul and he missed his deadline to check back in. Something's not right, {name}. If Owynn was captured they may have locked him away with their slaves. Head over to Stonefury Cliffs and see if you can locate him.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Out of the ChainsLevel 40

    They roughed me up real good an' I have a splitting headache but I'll survive. I need to get out of this bit o' chain here though. Could ye get the key to it for me? A big ogre called Nub has it, he's over on the far side of the terrace.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gearing UpLevel 40

    When I was captured they took my gear and left me in rags. My mace is being used to crack stones and they're even using me best dagger as a dinner fork! I'd hate to know what happened to me armor but I hope its still usable.
