Be aware, don 't make the same mistake both myself and my guild mate did. In your inventory you have both a flare and a torch, don't use the wrong one and wonder why it won't cast. :)
The mobs on the roofs are annoying.
Until you discover this;
if you run into the building and pull the mobs, they will not shoot at you. Makes it much easier. Seemed to me like you cant reach the mobs without a flying mount.When you have used the flare and the quest tracker tells you that that part of the quest is done, they will die, and you can feel safe :-) Until they respawn(I don't know the respawn time).

Description
As we move through Skorn, we must destroy the towers. If you have a look at them, you'll notice that their tops are lined with casters. Getting too close to them would mean certain doom. However, we can call in wind rider air strikes from Camp Winterhoof. To do so, we need to get close enough so that you can lob a smoke flare atop of them. Just don't get too close.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Burn Skorn, Burn!
Chieftain Ashtotem ordered me to destroy many buildings here. However, you are in charge, so it falls to your hands, <name>. I suggest that we burn down the two longhouses and the barracks that are in the lower area of Skorn. All we have to do is get inside each and set them ablaze with this torch.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Conqueror of Skorn!
You have done everything that we were sent here to do, <class>. I must admit that you fight well. Your people are not as strange as I first thought.
