TheWoWDBI had the error message "you can't do that yet" and after reading the comments, I reapplied my disguise, and then you have to go up the troops and right click on the cudgel in your backpack or it won't allow you to hit anyone.

Time-saving tip: if you get the "You've been spotted!" message, you will receive an "Unmask" buff that counts down the seconds till you are unmasked.
You can simply right-click on the "Unmask" buff icon in the upper-right hand corner to remove it--and the unmasking will be cancelled.
One of the funnier quests since 4.0.3! You can cudgel any of the orcs multiple times very fast. About 5-6 swings will kill them. The sound effects that accompany it are great. Boink! Boink! Bop!

Description
I've been looking for a good, strong soldier like you. I need someone to keep my troops in line. Outside the stronghold, you will find orcs, ogres, and trolls preparing for the assault on Redridge. My sergeants keep them in line, but I'd like you to assist them. Take this cudgel and discipline a few of my soldiers. I don't care if they're misbehaving or standing perfectly in line, I want them beaten. I want them focused, battle-hardened, and obedient. Now go.
