TheWoWDBAll the cages permanently open? Frustrating but apparently bugged.
Yes I did look upstairs again. Yes, I tried relogging. Yes, I tried logging out and entering 15 minutes later. And /reloadui of course. Sigh.
I dropped and re-picked up and... now stuck at 11/15. Previously 14 of 15. Sigh.
Edit: Solution found! Ask someone to group. You will get credit for their uncaging. That'll take you up to 15. Many thanks to Filthyhorde on Frostmourne. You rock bro.
My ticket response from Blizzard: I was fobbed off with a formulaic answer telling me do pretty much as I stated above (with the exception of grouping up) ) and to come here to Wowhead. Customer service a shadow of what it used to be.
If this happened to you too then please leave a reply. Thank you.

Good news sneaky sneaky rogues; you can Pick Lock the cages and skip farming the keys from mobs.
Use the teleporter to go back down to find way more mobs and cages.

Description
I have seen many souls brought here during my detention. The Jailer seems to want to break them, to twist them into his service... or worse. No soul deserves such a fate, {name}. The Mawsworn here hold the keys to their chains. Free as many as you can and we'll get them away from here.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Afflictor's Key
Sylvanas thinks us broken. She believes she has already won. We will show her how mistaken she is. First, I will need your help. The bonds that hold me are impossibly strong. We will need the key to free me of them. My... imprisonment here has been overseen by a creature they call the Afflictor.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- From the Mouths of Madness
I cannot express my gratitude enough for your help, champion. We mustn't linger, however. The Jailer's forces will soon be alerted to the disturbance here. Let us leave this place at once!
