TheWoWDBAs you would most likely have passed the Inn to get to the quest giver in the first place you have probably already picked up the three quests mentioned above, in which case this quest is a bit of a dead end and nothing whatsoever will happen next, aside from a rather rude rebuff from Inspector Tarem. Of course, this may all depend on reputation, etc. but I had already picked them up from the usual yellow exclamations and the pink arrows that used to indicate the spots did not appear.

When turning in this quest, the npc will move a bit from it's location. Pay attention at the purple signs that appears on the ground, which gives you a new quest: "Suspicious Hoofprints". In the middle of the floor, on a wood there is another purple sign which gives the quest: "Lieutenant Paval Reethe" and on the fireplace there is a thrid purple sign which gives the quest: "The black shield".
These maybe can help you to get Dustwallow Marsh quest achievement.

Description
If you follow the road south from the village, and then west toward the Barrens, you'll come across the ruins of the Shady Rest Inn. Theramore has sent an investigator to discover how the inn met its fate. I had a man placed in that inn as a spy and I don't trust in the competence of these humans to uncover what happened. Whatever you find, don't give a scrap of it to that investigator. We'll handle this ourselves.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Theramore Docks
<name>, two of our spies were sent to steal documents from a ship at the Theramore docks. They gained the papers but were discovered, and were forced to throw the documents into the sea. One spy later escaped, but was unable to recover the prize.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Suspicious Hoofprints
Rows of hoofprints lead away from the still-smoking skeleton of the Shady Rest Inn. There are at least a few visible impressions, with more rows of prints almost imperceptible in the soft mud of the marsh.
