TheWoWDBName of the quest is most likely taken from Star Wars. In one of the old films (I believe it's episode 5, not 100% sure), Admiral Ackbar commands the fleet to attack the Deathstar, and when they realize the shields are still up, he yells "It's a trap!". Became a bit of an internet fad in recent years.

Not entirely correct; it's episode 6, when they assault the second Death Star. He shouts it when they want to retreat to a zone and discovers enemy units there. Ackbar: Take evasive action! Green Group, stick close to holding sector MV-7. Soldier: Admiral, we have enemy ships in sector 47. Ackbar: It's a trap! Yes, I'm happy the way I am.

Description
There's nothing more that I hate in this world than the sons of Gruul and their father! They slaughtered my people, and my children, and now I will have a taste of revenge! I have fashioned a trap from some dragon fire, and if you're clever enough, you might just be able to use it to kill a gronn. I'm sure that you have a particular gronn in mind; it matters not to me which one you kill. Just hurry, take the trap to your Commander Stonewall. My thirst for revenge must be quenched!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Goodnight, Gronn
I've outdone myself again. I've fashioned a sleeping powder for you to use on Grulloc, the gronn I spoke of who is guarding what I want. Grulloc keeps himself at the Cursed Hollow, an area at the eastern edge of Dragons' End on the other side of the Circle of Blood.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gorgrom the Dragon-Eater
We must show the ogres that we are not to be trifled with. We must send a message. Travel to Boulder'mok and kill the ogres there. Make sure you keep their heads. Then go to Gorgrom's altar and place the trap there for him. Gorgrom will appear, and you must lure him into the trap.
