There's two ways the ending of this quest can go and it is by design. When you get the Chieftain to below 30% HP a scene will trigger in which he runs away. You can then still kill him if you want, but you don't need to.

Two things can happen:

1. You don't do anything and he escapes through the tunnel towards Frontier Caverns.

2. You jump out the window (yes you take falling damage) and follow him into the tunnel. If you're quick enough you can catch him and kill him.

Either way the quest is completed.
