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.

Description
<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.>
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.
