Immediately after the quest, Drizle says "Time to do what I do best...Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuunnn!"
And proceeds to do so at an incredible pace. He must run at least 25 mph by my reckoning.
I just tried to pick up this quest for the transmog on my 106 rogue, and it isn't available. I found Drizle chained to the post, but he offers no quests and can't be interacted with. So either this quest is part of a longer chain or has been removed, idk which.
Edit: The questchain actually starts at 64.1 10.3, with the NPC Ferli, who offers the quest, "Stupid Drizle!".

Sniff... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get caught! They grabbed me and put this chain on me and left me here! I can't move and my leg fell asleep and I'm hungry! The chief has the key... Chieftain Bloodmaw, the other ones said. He's in the north end of the camp. But hurry! Please! Don't leave me alone here!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Disarming Bears
I would prefer to do as much as we can to protect my people from the Deadwood tribe without slaughtering every last one of them. We've taken steps towards this before, and if you wish to prove yourself to the Timbermaw tribe, I would ask you do this as well.
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Feathers for Nafien
While you have proven yourself to me, you may need to continue to work toward proving yourself to the suspicious brethren of my tribe. To that end, I may be able to continue assisting you.
- Speak to Salfa
The threat of corruption comes not only from the Deadwood furbolgs to the south, but also from the east and the Winterfall furbolgs of Winterspring. If you wish to further aid us, speak with Salfa on the other side of the Hold, by the Winterspring entrance. Follow the path to the left to reach it.
