TheWoWDBThe NPC where you escort the gormling nibblers is at 47.10, 28.72. His name is Forman Thorodir if you want to make a target macro. I made one that was just Thorodir and it did not target him. The escort turn in is in the yellow circle at the coordinates I stated but the quest turn in is 46.68, 29.43 (just north a few paces). I had a few seconds left on my totem by the time I found him. I suggest you collect all 30 before you go into the yellow circle because it was bugged to remove your totem and you had to go back and get another one. Good luck!

Did this in about a min. Collect the Lure, MOUNT UP, go to east bank, run south along east side of bank for Gormling groups, back to middle for any you need, run to southern tip, across water to drop off guy and up hill to turn in questions and get Lure off.
The gormlings can actually get stuck in combat with you while they're following you around (without you being able to attack them back), so they can slowly beat you to death if you can't heal up for whatever reason. Happened to me as a demo warlock with a felguard pet when attacking the hostile mobs; I think the felstorm ability can still aggro them for some reason.

Description
Hope you've caught your breath. The totem is now a big, tasty beacon to all the nearby gorm. They're going to want to eat it and you're going to be carrying it! We need to rehome the smaller ones. If they stay here they're just going to get big and angry again. If you can drop off a few groups of them outside the Banks of Life we can make sure they find their way to more balanced feeding grounds. Let Thorodir know when you're done. I will let him know the plan.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gifts of the Forest
These gorm have gone out of control! We need to stop them. I have a plan, but I cannot do it on my own. We lure the gormlings to the Banks of Life by using special totems that are drained of their anima. If you can retrieve the wood required for the totem, I can prepare the ritual. Take these pipes.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Well, Tell the Lady
<Thorodir breathes a deep sigh of relief.> That's that, I'd say. The Banks are largely safe now, thanks to you. We can handle the rest of the cleanup on our own now. The Lady of the Falls will want to hear of your success here. Why not go tell her the good news?
