At the completion of this quest Jojo will (just like with the quest Stronger Than Reeds) demonstrate that he can break the planks. He will also say:
Our crafters build the finest wooden planks. They would weather the most brutal of storms. But they are as water before the storm of my crushing skull.
Nothing made by pandaren hands can withstand me.
He then walks away all the way up to Mandori Village where he despawns in one of the houses. (coordinates 55,56)

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Missing Mallet
<name>, I've got it! It's simple really. Let's make a ruckus so loud that there's no way he can sleep through it. Why look at that, a conveniently placed gong! Makes me think this may just be how they've awoken him in the past. We just need the matching mallet to get it ringing as loud as possible.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Raucous Rousing
You ready for this, <name>? I'm thinking maybe we should have looked for something to cover our ears, but it's a bit late for that now. Just remember that the intense ringing you'll be hearing for the next few hours is the ringing sound of victory! The honor's all yours, <name>.
