Be sure to have the "Gob Squad" with you on this quest, as they will kill all the mobs for you and heal you if you should take damage.
If you die or somehow manage to lose the goblins, speak with Warlord Krogg to recover them.
If you didn't successfully turn in the quest, abandon it, then speak to Warlord Krogg at the first gate (29.34, 52.50).
Select "I'm ready to press up the canyon. ...." to get Patch to appear.

Description
My orders are to accompany you south through the Dragonmaw Gates towards the entrance of Grim Batol. We're to clear a path so that the rest of the men can follow us up and secure the entrance. Translation: kill everything that moves, and don't be ashamed if you have a good time doing it. The boys are getting antsy. Let's go.
