Behind Scarlet Lines

Behind Scarlet Lines is a quest for level 8-30. It is step 29 of 58 in The Scarlet Enclave storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave at 56.3, 79.8. It rewards 525 experience.

Description

I have sent Orbaz, Thassarian and Koltira behind enemy lines to search for the courier. They have set up a base of operations at the Scarlet Tavern, located at the southern end of New Avalon. The tavern is tucked away behind the two orchards, adjacent to the Chapel of the Crimson Flame. You are to make your way to the tavern and report to Orbaz Bloodbane. He will update you on their situation.

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.

  • How To Win Friends And Influence EnemiesLevel 8-30

    In my travels across this world I have made several interesting discoveries. For instance, did you know that with the proper amount of encouragement one can extract all the truths that a man dares hide? As luck would have it, I happen to have some encouragement on hand.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Path Of The Righteous CrusaderLevel 8-30

    We haven't got a damned clue about when or where this courier is supposed to show up. None of these humans had an answer either. <Orbaz points to the Scarlet corpses strewn across the floor.> I did manage to beat something useful out of the last one.
