If, like me, you find that the cave is still unopened (looks like there's a cave-in), make sure you hand in the quest In Short Supply. Once you do this, Draka will open up the cave.
Thaelin has a quick fix. Gazlowe has a *solution*.

I've identified some high value targets down in the forest below. When you get near one, you can deploy my solution. Deploy it and the objectives will be neutralized with great ceremony.

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

The enemy has explosive devices stored on the beach below. We must recover them so they are not used against us. Reports indicate that crates of explosives are scattered along the shoreline. While you search, Durotan and I will carve deeper into Iron Horde territory.

- Old Friends, New Enemies
I cannot believe Orgrim would continue to do Blackhand's bidding after all the destruction he has wrought. We must confront him. Join me at the village along Orunai Coast and we will confront my oldest friend.
