The captive will not offer the quest until the two brutes in the room with him have been killed. If he happens to respawn when no brutes are present, it may look the like quest is bugged. Simply wait for the brutes to respawn, kill them, and then the captive should offer the quest.
Keep in mind also that your escort is only level 62, so keeping aggro off him is vital.

The captive is in the hut at 33,42.
So I finished this quest and he says, basically, that there is more to this whole totem of kar'dash thing but it's not something I can know about.
What's up with that? Rep requirement before the next step?

What to do
Description
I would have been killed had you not come along, stranger. They have already murdered so many Kurenai in their search for a lost relic. What they seek is the totem of Kar'dash. Why they think that we would know anything about this totem, I cannot understand. Is a totem not an orcish implement by nature? This information must be taken back to Arechron. Perhaps he knows why Murkblood are kidnapping Kurenai and torturing them for information regarding an orcish device. Let's go before more come.
