Patch 5.0.4 - coming up onto land doesn't do anything. Trying to figure out how to get quest credit. Currently, not completable.
I found the sweet spot lol ... stand to his right, very very close as if you're whispering sweet nothings in his ear :)

{name}! I was on my way when it happened. No time to waste. A good half of the town watch was in the area that collapsed. Get in there and save as many as you can. Make sure to get them out of the water and onto shore. I'll make sure they get any aid they need.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- As the Land Shatters
What in the world was that, <name>? Those were not cannons or catapults, that is for sure. Go outside and see what is going on.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Evacuation
We've escaped death through dumb luck, <name>. But luck is running out. The coast is becoming flooded even as we speak. And from the look of it, the landmass beneath us hasn't quite settled yet. I hate to say this, but we have to leave. Curses, <name>....
