TheWoWDBOK in the end it was simple but it took awhile to figure out. When you get to the area with all the dead bodies next to the spider cave click on the bodies you'll come up with loot symbol - the bodies have the spider idols. I ran past them forever not realizing it!

Basically just take the gryphon that the guy to the right of the quest giver is. the gryphon will take you to the top, enter the cave, and make a right when you exit. all you do here is loot 8 corpses. each one should give you an idol. then make your way back. and turn it in.
Speak to Doran Steelwing at the camp by the pond and ask for a ride on Sharpbeak.

Description
You have to go to the summit now, {name}. Our warriors won't go past the final gates. They say it's still as a tomb; not a sound, not a breath, not a hint of motion. They think it's a trap, but based on what you've brought me, I'm worried it's something even more sinister. Go to the altar, investigate what happened... and bring me back ANY sort of mystical object or dark idol you find! Do you hear me?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- It's Ours Now
Only the strongest and foulest Vilebranch are left now. The soul eaters and blood drinkers, foul worshippers of the evil god Hakkar. Don't forget you're not just fighting trolls here, <name>. You're fighting dark and evil forces that'll churn this land into ash if we let them live! Show no mercy!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Venomous Secrets
If the sacrifice has already been made, Shadra's presence is going to start creepin' into this realm. That cave's probably full of her spawn by now. Don't let them escape, <name>. Slay any of those vile spiders you find!
