Description
Soren did well to send you out on recon. That's some good information you have right there. Trouble is, this just adds more work for us to do. The trolls, confused as they are right now, still would like to kick the dwarves right out of Coldridge. And I'm certainly not going to let some fiery demon turn our snowy valley into a mountain lake. The troll leader, his servants, and the fire creature should all be in the cave to the southeast. Take 'em all out.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Refugee's Quandary
I was on my way to join my fellow gnomes at Gnomeregan, but then it all went so horribly wrong! I left Anvilmar, bags packed and wading through waist-deep snow. Then we had this ridiculous earthquake, and I got all turned around. I ended up here, and what's worse: the trolls stole all my stuff!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Trip to Ironforge
The presence of a fire elemental here in Coldridge is no small matter. That earthquake did more than just upset a bunch of troggs... it changed the world enough to tear a gash into the elemental plane. We should submit a report to Ironforge. You wouldn't be willing to take a trip, would ya?
