TheWoWDBIf you have trouble finding this guy as I did, you might want to look up.
He is not down by the swamps and stuff, but up on a ledge above all that.

The dialogue at the conclusion of this quest...
Why are we all yelling? Don't you have an indoor voi... oh, that would explain it.
Apparently Flint and the Stonefather are related to DMX. Their entire conversation at the end is done in yells.

We found out where the Stonefather is being held and young Flint ran off on his own to rescue him! I don't have to tell you that this is bad. Flint is going to get himself captured as well, or worse! The stone trogg chieftain, Bouldergut, is at the end of the ledges above Needlerock Chasm to the north. Please, {name}, you must go after Flint and free the Stonefather before we lose them both!
