<This looks like one of the pack mules from your garrison. It's strange that it's wandering out here alone.
You probably should investigate.>

You need to pick up Lost Lumberjacks Lost Lumberjacks from your garrison before you can pick up this quest. I did not get this quest until I was 92 and leveled my garrison to level 2. Not when it opens up.
Show of hands: How many thought, "Who is this guy, and how does he know so much about the team you're looking for?" when they encountered Phlox?
FYI for those that have alts and have done this before, don't try to outwit with the game by killing Phlox prematurely. You have to trigger the event when Jarrod Hamby says, "Run <Class> it is a trap!" If you don't and try to get cute like I did you end up having to do the quest all over again.
