TheWoWDBIf you "by accident" clicked 'Take me to the ground/downstairs'-something and wondering how in the world you get up there again?
-go to 56,52 and take the path up (turns lightly to the left) and you'll be at the spot with the questgivers again :)

Go to approximately 53,53 inside the cave system. There will be a small yellow arrow hovering over the ground. Move to that point, and you will have finally "investigated" the cave.
If Thisalee can carry me, why didn't she carry me up?

Description
Whatever lies at the bottom of this cauldron is of great use to the Iron Horde, and therefore, of great interest to us. I need you to investigate the bottom of this crater. You go ahead. I'll be right behind you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Giant Cauldron
A high value artifact at Cragplume Canyon, hmmm? Let's see if we can't beat the Iron Horde to it. Let's move fast. Speak to Choluna, and we'll be on our way.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Goren's Feast
Goren. This caldera is full of them. I can even smell their stench from here. I suspect that these goren are more than just primitive beasts, but in order to prove my theories, I need more data. During your mission, if you should slay a goren or two, would you examine their stomachs for me?
