Quest Log

Bargaining with Shadows

Bargaining with Shadows is a quest for level 45. It is step 7 of 13 in the Imp Mother Challenge storyline. It rewards 775 experience and money.

Description

From the clues you've been able to piece together, it appears that Levia was looking to conduct a ritual in the libraries beneath Dalaran - most likely to summon this "Agatha" she has become so infatuated with. I'm afraid this is a little out of my area of expertise, so I'm going to have to call in a favor.

I'll send for assistance from the Council of the Black Harvest. One of their warlocks will meet you in the Chamber of the Guardian to assist with your investigation.

I hope we're not too late.

Don't head to the sewers, you need to go to the central teleporter, and then you'll see Ritssyn to the left.

If you were like me and after reading comments where I kept dying the simple answer is to click only three of them then talk to npc.

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.

Elemental: The Folly of Levia LaurenceLevel 45
Levia Laurence was once a member of the Kirin Tor. Dabbling in shadow magic got her banned from the city, but she knows the streets too well to keep her out for good. Levia has disappeared, and I'm gravely concerned. Her work may have attracted the attention of the Legion. It has before.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Acolyte ImperiledLevel 45
Truthfully, the Council knows little of Agatha, but she is more than just your average succubus. She has many allies within the sayaad, and is known to command armies of imps that swarm and overwhelm her foes. To seek her out is folly, but Ritssyn Flamescowl repays his debts.

The storyline at a glance

Imp Mother Challenge has 13 steps, from Feral: The Folly of Levia Laurence to A Gift From the Six.
