Description

The city's entrances are under heavy guard. He must have another way.

Thanks to this wine I am strong enough to make the journey to him. I fear that I will not be able to defend or run if I come under attack.

You will accompany me, <race>. You and this Astoril are my only chance at surviving now.

I remember when I was leaving the city that there were lamps guiding me here. We should be able to retrace our steps by following them.

Only way I could complete this quest was when I wasn't on my mount.

If you have this quest bugging:
- Go to the lightpost at 35.1 59.0
- Mount down
- Walk down up around 36.3 60.3 where you will be attacked. Kill the mobs
- Walk down to Astoril at 37.9 61.5
- If she doesn't spot Astoril, go back to 36.3 60.3 and walk back down again
This solved it for me. Hope it helps

The mounting and walking away tricks didn't work for me, but what did work was pulling her into combat with some nearby mobs. After killing them I was able to get her to interact with him and finish the quest.

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.
