Go into the Office of Lawyering, then go up the stairs to the very top. Objective is completed just for showing up. Once there, go through the items that are also required.

Looks like Daffy Duck got to Jastor's portrait on the wall.

Description

He just... exploded... If a goblin's gotta go, that's the way. All I can say for poor Rosey. And that I'm gonna miss him. AND that we're gonna find out who did this! But the more immediate pickle is this: Who owns the Gallagio now? It's time to turn to an expert on legal mumbo jumbo. The State of Undermine assigned a public defender to us for the court case tomorrow, a fella named Zoomcart. He's all we got. Take what's left of the deed to his office in Hovel Hill, and sort this out.

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.

Times are a changing. Now that ol' Jastor is kaput, the cartel heads are chomping at the bit to settle the fate of Undermine's crown jewel: the Gallagio. There's a court proceeding tomorrow to make a final determination, but luckily the deed is squarely in the hands of someone I trust.
