If the spell "Scripture of Elune" is uncastable at the moment you are asked to cast it, simply use the Vial of Moon Water again until the scripture becomes usable. Do this a few times and the quest completes!
So spam vial and cast scripture whenever available. I hope this helps someone! :)
Cho'gall waves at you. What a nice guy.

Now that Priestess Moonfang has created the blessed water, it is time to deal with the demon. Take the water and the scripture of Elune. Through the power of each, you will compel the demon to show us what the orcs are up to at Gul'var.
Where to go
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.
- Shrouding Stones
Long ago, the shaman of the Shadowmoon clan erected three stones in the woods. There, they performed their sacred rituals, blessing the beasts and the trees. Now, someone has placed a fel magic upon those stones. This corruption is what shrouds the village of Gul'var.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Soul Shards of Summoning
It's good to know what Teron'gor and Cho'gall are up to. It's more important that we stop Gul'dan. Some of his disciples can summon minor demons. To do this, these lesser warlocks must use a soul shard.
