After having done this quest too many times across many characters, something occurred to me with my monk character... just what business did Foreman Thazz'ril have being in that cave? Is he actually a secret member of the Burning Blade Coven, scouting for fresh, young, & naive orcs with malleable minds that might be persuaded to join? There's something sinister in there somewhere.
Apparently you have to complete Vile Familiars before this will appear.

Description
{name}, you are a dependable {race}. Can I count on you for another task? Some time ago I was surveying the cave to the north for minerals, and I left my favorite pick behind. When I later returned to retrieve it I found the cave was filled with vicious beasts! Will you go into the cave, the Burning Blade Coven, and get my pick? I left it in a chamber with waterfalls. My pick has a spell on it so you can see it in the dark, so you won't have to worry about finding it... just what's guarding it!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Burning Blade Medallion
Through my divinations, I see that an item of power--a medallion--hides deep within the Burning Blade Coven, guarded by beasts and black magic. We must have it. For too long these demon-worshippers have defiled our homelands.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Report to Sen'jin Village
Your trials against the Burning Blade are finished... here in the Valley. But I want you to report your findings. Go to the troll village of Sen'jin and seek out Master Gadrin. Sen'jin Village is east out of the valley, then right at the fork.

Valley of Trials has 10 steps, from Your Place In The World to Report to Sen'jin Village.
