TheWoWDBI hate cave systems. A lot. Usually you spend 5 minutes finding the mob and then another 30 min finding your bloody way out again. Plus I am not a fan of jumping down with my warlock, because usually my minions freak out from heights and run down instead of jump, meeting all sorts of new interesting friends on the way. But: there is a very relaxed way towards this mob, and out of the cave system again. At 34,33 there is a nice slope down, you go right, right and right once more and Tadaa! : there is your cave with Mr. Mob. And after killing Mr. Mob it's only 3 lovely turns to the left and you are out of that horrid cave system.

I found a easy way to get there.
When you go out the main gate of Westguard Keep take direct left and head down a little bit til you see a bridge. When you stand on this bridge there is a ledge below on the right side, from that ledge you can jump down right in front of the entrance to the cave without loosing too much health. From there i just killed my way in and then killed Squeeg Idolhunter. Very easy.
Squeeg is in a cave on top tier at 32,34

Description
So, I hate to say it, pal, but while you were out, the captain took a keener interest in that place. Looks like he wants my old Explorers' League boss in there dead. My guess would be that we're gearing up for an offensive to clear out the rest of them, and the captain wants their head lopped off, as it were. Do me a favor? Head back into Whisper Gulch and put an end to Squeeg Idolhunter. From what I remember, my guess would be that he's in the cave in the northwest corner.
