Captive Audience is a Horde-only PvP quest for level 32-35 in Isle of Thunder. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.
The Kirin Tor have gone too far! Now they hold our fellow Sunreavers as war prisoners!
There will be no discussion of prisoner exchange. We will handle this ourselves.
Go to Violet Rise and free as many prisoners as you can. Do not get captured yourself. We cannot afford to lose you too.

While you can free the captive while mounted this does not currently dismiss the rune trap. Because the rune trap does not disappear the captive is not respawning. I tested this on a few runes and by dismissing the rune trap it forced the captive respawn in about a minute. Unfortunately you have to dismount to dismiss the rune. This has been my experience and could use some more corroboration.
I have to laugh at how angry the Magister gets when they've got Kirin Tor captives stuck around their base too.
The runes are in the Violet Rise area on the Isle of Thunder ~ Coordinates 60, 70
Runes are blue circles on the ground and you need to click on them.
Empty runes will not count towards the quest, the runes must contain a captive to count. Its quite annoying as there sometimes are no captives at all and you have to run through the whole alliance site!

Outcast from Dalaran, the Sunreaver Onslaught fight to obtain powerful mogu artifacts from among the ruins of Thunder Isle, and to secure their future if the Horde falls to anarchy.
Reputation group: Mists of Pandaria.
Other quests in Isle of Thunder that reward Sunreaver Onslaught reputation: Dangers of Za'Tual (+150), Grave Circumstances (+150), The Skumblade Threat (+150), Gather Scout Reports (+150), This Just Won't Do (+150), Saur Loser (+150).
Possession of the Lesser Charms of Good Fortune will result in great happiness and the eventual conversion into Warforged Seals, which allow players to risk a coin to receive a bonus reward from raid encounters.
