When you get down to the circle of blood. It is most likeley that the first thngs you'll see are two ogres and the arena entrance. Just walk right through the arena to the other side.
Or if you don't want to die walk all the way around the arena to the back.

Description

This is bad news. Gorgrom the Dragon-Eater is behind the recent Bloodmaul plans against Sylvanaar! Why he's manipulating them, and not just using the Bladespire, I don't know. But if we're to deal with a gronn, we're going to need help. I know a man who is wise in the ways of all sorts of exotic magics. Baron Sablemane is his name, and you can find him at the Circle of Blood, back down the ramp to the northwest, and then southwest through the canyon. Ask him to fashion us a trap for the gronn.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Favor of the GronnBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    A token in the form of a small statuette falls from Dorgok's dead clutch. It bears a striking resemblance to one of the gronn. Surely, Commander Haephus Stonewall at Evergrove in the Ruuan Weald, up the ramp to the east, would be interested in this!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Into the Churning GulchBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    Very well, I'll create this trap, but first I want something in return. There happens to be a nearby gronn that is in possession of an item that I want, but you can't face him, not yet anyway. So, you and I are going to fashion a sleeping powder from the poison of the nearby crust bursters.
