You have to go deeper in the cave, cross the bridge and come close to Drogbar. There's a trap! [npc=97418] spawns and you have to fight for your life. During the fight Feltotem taurens incoming to join the fight assisting [npc=97418]. As you dont speak with Navarogg. If you die, you can find the entrance to the cave at 37.6 33.5 spot.

Description

Oakin Ironbull vouches for you. He's capable, for a Rivermane. You also brought with you proof of your own strength, albeit rather inconclusive proof. Before we allow you to move freely within our territory, you must complete the Rite of Blood, which you have already begun. If you succeed--and I doubt you will--talk to me. Enter the depths of the cave. Defeat whatever foe appears and return to me.

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.

    We should leave this place while we have a chance. The Bloodtotem are amassing at their village to the north, and I believe they intend to kill my people. Let me know when you are ready to go, and I can take us to a safe place quickly.
