TheWoWDBHas anyone noticed that a lot of the emotes that the rocklings do after you release them have terrible grammatical errors?
"The rockling offers great gravely sigh of appretiation."
"The rockling rumbles in appretiation."
"The rockling scampers into the distance, excited by it's newfound freedom."

Or one that I found greatly heartwarming: "You hear a loud cracking noise as the rockling tries to smile." :)))))))
Just did the quest today (12/15/10)
It wasn't as hard as above comments said.
Had no issues.

StorylineDeepholm, The Stone Throne, step 9 of 44
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP
Description
The Twilight Cultists are taking my rocklings among them. They drain them and torture them. Strip them of the very essence that animates them from the stone. Please, {race}, free my rocklings. Neither Diamant nor I have the delicacy to smash their chains without hurting them as well. But we do have a tool you might use. Use this. Break their chains and set them free.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unsolid Ground
The Twilight Cult are mining jade crystals near their camp. Foolish... Reckless... Gather the mined crystals. Take them to the center of their camp. Shatter them against the ground. The reverberations and the powered crystal will bring the tunnelers upon them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Violent Gale
There is a task that I can set before you. It is a dangerous task. Completing it will help impress the more stubborn Stone Lords. To the northwest is the Scoured Reach. Severe winds batter the rock and hide the true living threat underneath. Within the Scoured Reach are Gyreworms.
