By Any Means is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 3 of 6 in The Twinblades of the Deceiver storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dalaran at 62.7, 65.0. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.
We need to find out Varedis' location from the eredar inside this prison - the kind warden and his men here are all that stand in our way.
We'll take them on together if need be - whatever it takes.

Tried doing it by entering before I talked to Warden Alturus and could not get the quest completed after I killed the bad guy. Had to leave, talk to the Warden and then re-enter, kill the bad guy again and then I got the yellow ? to finish the quest. Make sure you talk to the Warden before entering the gates.

So when I did this quest I was qued for a 5 man. It would make me go into the 5 man of the zone instead of the scenario you need for the quest. Just thought I would let anyone else know if you're banging you head on your desk like I was wondering why you can't finish this. Hopefully by the time it goes live they have that fixed.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
Do you recall Varedis, <name>? He was once our lead trainer, but fell with the Black Temple years ago. ...or so we thought. Kor'vas spotted the traitor alongside the Legion... wielding glaives imbued with power unlike anything she'd ever seen.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
You must lead this hunt, <name> - a small force will join you to ensure Varedis meets his end. You must try to make it into Varedis' hold undetected; the less time you spend in Legion territory the better. Meet at Krasus' Landing when you are prepared to leave.
