Go left at the back of the crypt as you go in to find the stairs up to the named mob

Or: exit the crypt. Fly around the mountain and enter on the other side ;)

If you were stuck like me and only did this quest, you cannot turn in this quest. (the questgiver won't be there to turn in). If you also accept the quest Rescue from the Shadows than this issue is gone!

Description

<Zul'jarra growls through her gritted tusks.> Now it's not as surprisin' dat Malacrass's tribe, de Vilebranch, fell to the lure of hex magic. But dat is their choice and a path dey chose long ago--a path away from us. I won't let dem live long enough to regret it. What de Vilebranch have done to de Witherbark has gone too long without an Amani response. De mist is not in our way. We can use it to our advantage. We will take a life for all de lives dey took. And make sure dey stay dead.
