TheWoWDBI ran in and killed all the minions, but [npc=74225] was an invalid target when I tried to kill him. I had to run back to the entrance near [npc=76669] to start some role-play before I could continue.

I was having issues finding the entrance. If you do too, look for a giant skull and then enter at the mouth. Don't go for the marking on the map, it is a bit closer to the "orc village" north west of the map marker.
You have to complete the Thunder Lord invasion first then this quest becomes available.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Thunderlord Invasion!
Your timing could not have been better. Your scouts have reported the approach of a large Thunderlord army. My clan can ride out and assist in severing their reinforcements, but you will need to see to the defense of your fort against the bulk of their forces. Sergeant Grimjaw awaits your command.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Thunder Pass
There is no time to mourn our fallen or lick our wounds. Your scouts have already reported sighting a massive Iron Horde army making its way through Thunder Pass. I advise you let your garrison forces secure this area while you and I make for the pass east of here with the rest of the Frostwolves.
