As of 9.0.1 the quest is bugged.

When you place the banner, it will randomly despawn mid fight without the furbolg successfully destroying it with their ability. This was tested on a max level character and a lvl 20 character, and the problem persisted on both.

I was able to work around this by simply pulling the first mob away from the mound entirely before it reached it, but NOT KILLING IT. Simply stand there and tank the damage away from the flag and the flag will remain and eventually the boss will come as intended.

Hope this helps!

Actually, Murgut spawns on a timer after you plant the banner. There will *always* be two furbolgs to fight.

My advice, don't kill any of them. If you can cc, do so. if not just bring them to near death and save your mana and use your cooldowns judiciously until Murgut spawns.

Then kill the two quickly, kill Murgut - profits!

Description

My research has paid off. I believe that with a show of force, we can diminish the furbolgs' aggressiveness. Take this banner a short ways northeast and place it on their totem mound. They will try to destroy the banner, but hold your ground until their chief, Murgut, appears to save face for the tribe. Bring me the totem he carries. Gather your allies, {name}. This is no task for a single {class}.
