Doesn't quite measure up to massacring a whole village of murlocs for the gem to drop in pre-4.0...
For the purposes of ambush and such, you must position yourself on the side of the tentacle with the scales. The smooth side is the front.

As you rummage through Teronis' belongings, you find a water-damaged journal. Quickly flipping through the last legible pages, you read that Teronis makes mention of finding the gem, but then of having lost it in the Falathim area. The only thing left to do is find it. Perhaps the tendrils have it...?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Finding Teronis
A friend of mine from Astranaar, Raene Wolfrunner, asked me to send a scout west to Lake Falathim. Teronis left days ago, just before the Horde attacked. He was searching for an item he thought could slow the furbolg attacks on our people--a rod created by a now-dead, evil wizard.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Raene Wolfrunner
I would ask you to deliver the gem directly to Raene Wolfrunner. Last I heard, she was still in Astranaar to the southeast. At least the road between here and there is still relatively safe, so it should be a simple matter of following it there.
