When you speak to Captain R.K. Irontoe, he offers a great deal of lore, and many different conversation paths. After introducing yourself and exchanging common pleasantries, these responses get you to the quest:

Find and defeat the Crushbone spies by looking for the reddish sparkles and the mouseover infobox, orc scribbling, that mark their spy posts (see the discussion page of this article for more info). In general they can be triggered as follow:
by the passageway to Butcherblock Mountains at ( 746, 14, -71 ) Copy/waypoint 745.99, 13.99, -70.57. He spawns on top of the root above your head, so look up if you can't find him.

The quest will then update saying to use the keys to open the lockerboxes in the keep.
