If someone else has blown up the cage you have to wait for it to reset and blow it up yourself before you can turn this in.
Easy enough, just head back to Gymer, King of Storm Giants at 19,56 and right click on his cage.

Description
What I'm about to give you is called seaforium. It is a highly volatile explosive with some unique properties. Due to its malleable nature, you will be able to fill in the hinges and cracks of the cage for maximum damage. Return to your friend and use the jumbo seaforium charge to set him free. Let's hope he honors the bargain. He's our only hope.

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.
- Suit Up!
There... I've created a disguise that should make you indistinguishable from the Scourge. You'll be free to walk among them as long as the disguise holds. Only the blightguards will be able to see through my illusion. Watch out for them!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Storm King's Vengeance
My people have been decimated by the Lich King. The Scourge now use the corpses of storm giants to create mindless flesh giants, or worse, stitched together aberrations like Thrym. I will stop at nothing to see them all driven from this world.
