I am sad to say this, but if You find the skull first, it gives You the next-in-chain quest and You can't take this one :( That's not nice of Blizz.. Somehow Valoren didn't give me this q when I was killing naga in the ruins, so I found skull and thus missed this q forever :((

I sense a strong power calling to me from the ruins. Can you check again on that southern battle site for me? I'm certain that there's something there.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- A Better Vantage
This cave is our only refuge. There's no help on the way. Whatever happens, this cave must remain safe or we are all sure to die down here. We need a forward post to launch our attacks from. Something defensible.
- Swift Approach
I've taken the liberty of performing some preliminary scouting. The naga may not be aware of our position, but they are not entirely unprepared for intruders. Beyond their patrols, they have set up magical sentry devices that will warn them of unwelcome guests.
