TheWoWDBTo get the fight started correctly you need to ride all the way out on the bridge, until you pass the overhead section. Then turn around and go back, Calamoth Ashbeard should be going through his speech and you should be able to target him. Hope this helps.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This quest appears to be bugged. There are a few friendly and unfriendly dwarves fighting on the bridge but I can't interact with them. Also, there is no Calamoth in sight, though he will probably show up after the skirmish is over.
I have tried going inside the bridge as well and that doesn't change anything. Occasionally some normal enemies will spawn but nothing comes after.
Edit: I tried this quest again today and it appeared to work correctly. Calamoth gave his speech and became targetable and I swiftly killed him and was on my way.
If you don't get a follow-up after completing this, it's probably because you already have Hero's Call: Arathi Highlands! in your quest log. You can't do both the Hero's Call and the follow-up.

I've defended the Thandol Span from being destroyed before, against the Dark Iron themselves. And so did my father, and his father before him... The only Dark Iron that managed to give me the slip ran straight for the bridge. Something's amiss, and I'm betting when we get there we'll be waltzing right into an ugly trap. I could use your help, {name}, for Ironforge. Are you with me?
