Description
We're going to need a distraction if we are to rescue Mathias Shaw from where he's being held captive in Felsoul Hold. A big one. Explosives placed in a few key locations should do nicely. Noggenfogger is playing nice and has donated some bombs to the cause. He might be trying to smooth over relations due to his earlier extortion. I can have someone go ahead and mark the best locations. You want to do the honors?
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.

- The Captive Spymaster
We must move swiftly while the distraction is working. Mathias Shaw is being held in the lower levels of the Halls of the Eclipse directly to the south. Quickly, <name>, we must go!
