If you lost your disguise, then check your bags to use item [Blackrock Disguise] and see Quartermaster Kaoshin to complete the quest.
If not in your bags, then abandon quest, remove costume buff, click on table for the ingredients, talk to Thelaron Direneedle to get costume, use the item [Blackrock Disguise], see Quartermaster Kaoshin, and then start the quest over again.
"Boot Spiders," technically, but yeah, they're an annoying surprise.

Description
Bah! You're lucky I'm short-handed today. Otherwise I'd make you my personal whipping boy for the week. The officers and high-ranking soldiers need their boots polished. They've left them out in front of their huts. I want to see my reflection in those boots, grunt! Get to work!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into the Black Tooth Hovel
Undercover work is all about swagger. Just act like you're supposed to be there, and you'll be fine. Your contact inside Black Tooth Hovel will be an orc by the name of Quartermaster Kaoshin. He does NOT know you're a spy, so try and stay cool. Do whatever he asks of you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Strategic Cuts
<Static> <name>... <name>, can you hear me? It's Troteman. Listen, we've just received the final bit of intel for your next mission. There are three marks that we'd like you to take down. The first is Voodooist Timan, whom you'll find atop the Pillar of Ash.
