In order to continue this chain, you need to start the quest on the Strange Mojo which is a random drop from the trolls at Altar of Sseratus.
It seems to me that some follow up quest is missing... like kill the false god or something like that...
edit: hehe found it: [Too Much of a Good Thing]

Description
There's trouble at the altar of the snake god. The presence of the Scourge has weakened the land, {race}. This in turn has weakened the wild gods. We know that the Drakkari are taking advantage of this to do evil things to the gods. I need you to be my eyes and ears. The Altar of Sseratus is at the end of the avenue to the north. Sneak around the back and get a look inside of the main altar building. Whatever you do, avoid the prophet at all costs!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- New Orders for Sergeant Stackhammer
<class>, you're here to help, right? I've got new orders for our forces that are currently deployed at the Drakkari altar to the north. You can't miss it. Just head straight up the avenue. Sergeant Stackhammer shouldn't be hard to find.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Argent Crusade, We Are Leaving!
<The sergeant quickly reads through the orders you've handed him, a frown coming over his face.> Look, lad, I'd love to just up and leave, but take a look out there. All of my people are fighting. Tell you what, you've come this far, you think you're up to doing me a small favor?
