The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This quest is currently bugged as of 5.2 release. None of the Yaungols, near the door nor wandering in the area highlighted in blue on the map, will give credit for a kill. GM ticket opened... will update this comment in 3 days when GMs return my call.
Update:
Gm Response: This is a known issue. The only way to complete this quest currently is to engage the packs of 3 Yaungol as they approach the gate, but before they aggro onto the the Shado-Pan defenders at the door. Not every pack will give you credit for the kills, but it only took me 21 kills to get the credit for the 15 I needed.
On this quest, don't make the mistake I did and kill the mobs at full health wandering the village. Kill the ones right at the door to the Shado-Pan fallback, fighting the Shado-Pan Guard NPCs. The NPCs hit like trucks and will do most of your work for you.

Description
I sent for reinforcements from the Shado-Pan Monastery, but have heard nothing back. We have already lost the town. A few lucky villagers may have survived, but we are pinned down here. We do not have time to entertain strangers. If you can fight, help my men defend this tower. If not, leave, for you will not survive long here.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Burlap Grind
Okayyy... well, she's not eating anybody. That's a good start. She must want more kafa, but we gotta give her somethin' to do with all the extra energy... I got it! The Burlap Trail! She can smash hozen out there all day! <Burrberry turns to the massive beast.> What do you think, pretty girl?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Turnabout
Our true enemies are the sha, not the yaungol. The sha are emotion manifest. Destructive, yes. But undisciplined. Undisciplined force cannot last. The flood, in dispersion, loses its force. The wildfire burns its fuel. And, discipline and wisdom can turn their destructive energy against themselves.
