The Spiralung you are looking for are classified as NPC humanoids, so turning on friendly nameplates will make them readily visible. "Looting" them yields Spiralung object for use on the Nespirah Survivors.
If you find yourself without quests after you finish this, go back up to the shelf and look for a goblin quest giver near a bubbling fissure. He will give you one quest and after you finish it, you will get 3 more in the cave.

Description
A lot of the men haven't made it to the cave yet. It's a safe bet that they're stranded at the vents on the ridge above us. We found some spiralung shells on the way here. They don't produce much air, but it was enough for us to make the cave. I need to stay here to count heads and get them back on their feet as they arrive. Do me a favor - go collect those spiralung shells, get them to any of my men that are still up on the ridge, and give them a swift kick in the arse so that they get moving.

Thanks to you and the Legionnaire, Nespirah has full control of her body... but most of the naga don't know this yet. Once we make our escape, she will activate her biological defenses and destroy the naga from within. Make yourself ready... I will now tell Nespirah to begin the countdown.

It was that darn crab! Here I thought that all the exercise from walking here was making me super buff! My pack just kept getting lighter and lighter. But no! That crab snipped a hole in my bag and all my parts were falling out the whole way here. Please, help a good lookin' goblin out, will ya?
