thanks for this. Before your note, didn't even realize that the path continued beyond his body! The roots made it look like a closed off passage.
they're found past the dead dwarf....don't let the vines fool you! There is actually a path past the dead dwarf...Follow It!

Description
Whatever was written on the remaining pages of Plunderbeard's journal must be recovered. Search the chambers located on the other side of this tunnel for Plunderbeard's assailants. They must be the ones who tore the journal apart! Should you recover the missing pages, return them to Ambo Cash at the entrance of the Wintergarde Mausoleum.
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.
- Plunderbeard Must Be Found!
There's been talk of a tunnel dug by Scourge that connects the embalming chambers of the mausoleum with the large crypts, now unearthed by Thel'zan and his minions. I recently sent my best rogue, Plunderbeard, in search of answers, but have yet to hear back from him.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Chasing Icestorm: The 7th Legion Front
You need to get to the 7th Legion Front in northern Dragonblight. Return to Wintergarde Keep and take the north gate out of town. Keep north until you hit a road. Take a left on that road and follow it until you reach the snowline.
