At first I laughed at the fact that he says "I'll bet you 10 silver that you can't beat him. " but the reward was only 7s. But here it says 10s, so maybe it was bugged in-game, like the dailies.

And on this day, I learn that "winningest" is actually a word.

What to do
Description
I wouldn't normally keep a taunka as a captive, due to their close relationship with the Horde... but this one is a traitor, and a criminal to boot. Exiled by his own tribe, he canoed down to Azshara and was found stealing supplies from Valormok. He would have been put to the axe had I not been standing by, wallet in hand. Gaur is my winningest gladiator, {class}. I'll bet you a fist full of silver that you can't beat him.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Griswold Hanniston
Griswold, chained up over there on the cliffs, is my newest gladiator. We found him just south of here, sniffing around with Northwatch soldiers. I had my men nab him up, and now he works for me. He looks tough enough, but he hasn't really been battle-tested yet.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Loss Reduction
You've got to help us. The elementals... they're stronger than they look, and they come in waves. They took us completely by surprise, and we were overcome. Many of my fellow grunts lay dying on the beach. If you could save them... I would be grateful, as would Gar'Thok back in Razor Hill.
