When you investigate a body you will loot a Scrap of Cloth. On the sixth body instead of a Scrap of Cloth you will instead loot an Assassin's Mark. You will no longer be able to search bodies and will need to go hand in the quest.However, if for some reason your bags are full for the initial search of a body you will fail to loot the Scrap of Cloth. Unfortunately the game will still count that as one of the six required searches, so when you search your sixth body you will collect your fifth Scrap of Cloth, but the game will deactivate further bodies for searching.
If this happens you will need to abandon the quest and start again. And make sure that you have space in your bags for the Scrap of Cloth items.

This is one of the quests in a chain that will grant at it's conclusion an [item=116394] and the toy [item=119001]. This quest is only available if you have built the Brewery (Hearthfire Tavern).
In addition, via this quest line you will get a follower for your garrison - [follower=453.2] (H)/[follower=453.1] (A). This follower is also available from [npc=88635] (H)/[npc=88633] (A) in your garrison for 5000g if you have built a Smuggler's Den and do not intend to change it.
The [item=119001] can only be obtained if you have built the Hearthfire Tavern (Brewery) instead of the Smuggler's Den as your Spires of Arak Outpost. If you have already selected the Smuggler's Den, you must pay 5000g to switch outposts (You can get 1000g back at later, as I've noted at the end of this comment). This can be done by speaking to [npc=81920] (H)/[npc=81929] (A), who will give you the option to pay the fee to switch.
After building the Brewery Outpost, you must complete the following quest line:
HordeAlliance
After this quest line has been completed, you can obtain the quest Not In Your Army (H)/Cleaning House (A), which will grant the [item=119001] toy as a reward.NOTE: Completing No Time to Waste (H)/No Time to Waste (A) grants [item=116394] as a reward. This can be used to purchase blueprints from [npc=85840] (Warspear)/[npc=85849] (Stormshield). You can get blueprints you don't already have instead of purchasing them with gold.
However, if you already have all the blueprints, purchase any of the following blueprints to vendor for 1000g:
- [item=116431] (H)
- [item=107694] (A)
- [item=109254]
- [item=111968]
- [item=111980]
- [item=111986]
I looted all corpses but did not find the quest item. Had to abandon the Quest and re-take it. This time it worked.

What to do
Description
Their poison is more powerful than I thought. We need to find the orc responsible for making it. Master assassins always leave their mark somewhere on one of their kills. It's a calling card; a claim to fame in their circles. This was definitely the work of such an assassin. We should split up and see if we can find some sign on one of the outcast corpses that will lead us to their creator. Rendezvous at the bottom of the hill, commander.

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.
- Attempted Murder
Your bartender Lunzul is dying, commander. She's been poisoned and needs an antidote immediately. One of your scouts reported seeing a Shattered Hand orc nearby recently - that's our best bet. There is a small arakkoa camp to the east that sits near a known Shattered Hand encampment.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Power of Poison
G.V.? We need a name and a location. Not damned initials. <Velonara pulls out a small vial.> This is my last vial of wracking poison. We use it to extract information from prisoners. It is... potent. Coat your weapon with it and head into the Shattered Hand camp just ahead.
