The reasoning for this is just ridiculous.Their leader must be telling them to attack people so killing the leader will make them stop. Wouldn't it be more likely that it would make him into a martyr and make them even more aggressive?
Drops quest item Crudely-Written Log. This starts the quest the Final Piece, the first in a long quest chain.

Wand of Sudden Changes, Furbolg Fur Bracers, Princess Zoe's Old Hunting Gloves, 21g, 6,200 XPDescription
The Winterfall furbolg are not a normally aggressive tribe, and this change in their behavior leads me to think that they must be under orders from their chief. We most likely can't undo the damage that has already been done, but if their leader is slain, they may not get any worse. Head east again, past where you found that cauldron. High Chief Winterfall is here, at the easternmost part of Timbermaw Post.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Winterfall Runners
Very interesting, <name>... When this toxic substance is mixed with the water from the hot springs, it loses its toxicity, only retaining the ability to temporarily affect those that ingest it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Final Piece
The log you found on the high chief looks extensive, but after looking through a couple of the pages, you find that you cannot read the text. The markings are so crude and poorly-formed that you are not sure if anyone would be able to read them.
The storyline at a glance
Winterspring has 54 steps, from Threat of the Winterfall to Umbranse's Deliverance.
