Just north of the quest giver is a path. Along this path, heading towards the east are the mobs you're looking for.
They spawn from the west and run east. They won't attack unless attacked, so fighting in the middle of their little stampede is safe as long as you don't AoE. I AoE'd, it wasn't pretty (who would have thought explosive trap would betray me?).

What to do
Description
Without healing, your friend Taylor will die. My village is just east of here, in the middle of the large lake. I will take Taylor myself, but the fighting is most dangerous in that direction. I need you to help clear a path through the hozen, so that I may run safely into my village. Can you do this?

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Kung Din
I hope you are capable of this next task, for our lives depend on it. There is only one key that will unlock our chains. Unfortunately, the key hangs around the neck of the hozen's pet tiger, Kung Din. They keep the tiger in the great pit to the north.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Pearlfin Situation
I've been thinking. We are cut off from support and a long way from home. Although these Pearlfin jinyu mistrust our presence, they do not appear to be hostile. If we could convince them that we are their friends, an alliance between our races could prove extremely valuable.
