This one had me wandering, even with coordinates.
Go past the entrance of the cave, and take the first right. Go down the narrow corridor until you reach the fork. Stay right, and you should see the ramp immediately. Circle down the ramp. At the bottom, in the room ahead of you, Keymaster is in the back. He's an easy kill.
To finish, go back up the ramp and into the room on your right. You should see your prisoner immediately ahead of you.

A World of Warcraft quest in Borean Tundra. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Monitoring the Rift: Winterfin Cavern and Them! and On Noes, the Tadpoles! and Keymaster Urmgrgl can all be done at the same time, then once those are finished, start Escape from the Winterfin Caverns on your way out.
When you get the quest take the closest slope down and you will see him at the end of the cave.
He is bigger then the other murlocs so spotting him will not be a problem.

What to do
Description
I have to get out of these caverns! There's magic stuff seeping in from Coldarra, above, and affecting everyone's minds. I don't intend to be controlled like these others! Keymaster Urmgrgl is in the cave below and to the south. He holds the key to my cage. Get it from him and bring it back so that I can unlock my cage and get out of here. Hurry!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Surrender... Not!
The time has come to put an end to this unnatural situation, <name>. For the Winterfin murlocs to have a chance at a future, Claximus must die! I want you to take my spare murloc suit and enter the Winterfin Caverns under the pretext of surrender.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Escape from the Winterfin Caverns
The lock on my cage doesn't look too solid, but I'm not foolish enough to try to leave without assistance. Will you help me safely get out of these caverns? There's no time to waste, <race>. When you get back to the retreat, please let the king know that I'm okay. He's sure to give you a reward.
