TheWoWDBThis quest is not marked 'elite' because you really don't have to kill the 2 elite guards to get the named ogre. Notice that the guards have "sober" in their names? So what I did was this:
1. kill the 2 non-elites but pulling them out of the tent/hut.
2. go as close as you can get without pulling the elites and place a "Bloodmaul Butebane Brew" on the floor. This will pull the named but not the two sober guards.
3. Kill named ogre.
4. Profit :)...easy as cake when you remember that most ogres are not able to resist the smell of some brew.

Actually, you don't even need the brew. The named ogres will pull solo without the guards, even though that seems highly unlikely.

Description
I know it's strange, but I do want to stay in this cage. It gives me the perfect opportunity to do what I came here for; to gather information on the Bladespire. I can leave at any time, but I would like to have my sword and shield back. Two of their leaders have my trappings. Droggam has my sword and Mugdorg has my shield. If you have need, obtain and use the brew from Bloodmaul Outpost to the south to thin out their help and entice those two, but beware their sober guards who don't drink!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Getting the Bladespire Tanked
I'll not take another sip of that ill-smelling muck! But it does give me an idea. <Borgrim gets a twinkle in his eye.> So here's the plan. We know that the Bloodmaul practically live off of this swill. But I wonder what their enemies, the Bladespire ogres, think of it?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gorr'Dim, Your Time Has Come...
The leader of Bladespire Hold is known as Gorr'Dim. Trust me... the name is appropriate. Still, I wouldn't underestimate him. He's crafty enough to have elevated his clan to be the favorite of Gruul the Dragonkiller and they now dominate these mountains.
