For those like me who have a dark screen you may not notice the other room with more of the mobs to kill. The gate that you click on is at 38.1 44.5
If you're high enough level to oneshot them, you can get two completions for each slave - talk to them and free them, then off them.

Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
Much like Overseer Maltorius, I'm a rich dwarf. However, I earned my riches through hard work and wise decisions, not through slavery. OK fine, very little slavery. Hardly any. Anyhow, the first thing that I see inside these caverns are slavedrivers and taskmasters. I won't stand for this! As you progress through the cavern, kill as many as you can. Report your results to Evonice Sootsmoker, deeper within the Slag Pit.
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.
- Operation: Stir the Cauldron
I'm putting you on a flying machine, <name>. You'll be responsible for softening our landing into the slag pit. Speak with your flight master here in Thorium Point, then fly down to the gorge. Once you near your landing point, there will undoubtedly be hordes of Dark Iron dwarves waiting for you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sweet, Horrible Freedom
Of course, we'll want to free as many slaves as we can while we're here. Most of them will likely join forces with us, anxious to fight against their captors. However, sometimes you will find that slaves are resistant to being freed. It's a strange phenomenon, often called "Durnholde Syndrome".
