This must be Blizzard's interpretation of the Kobayashi Maru scenario. Especially if you're a fresh 111 cloth wearing mage.
Walk in, lose hat, 10 mobs on you in a second, die. Rez, all but two mobs are gone, kill them.
Second wave comes in, die. Come here, read the comments, rez, shimmer to a barrel, kill all the mobs.
Next roll of the dice, three mobs come in, kill one, then one of the mobs kicks you up into the spectators and another 10 mobs on you, die. Rez, shimmer to the next barrel kill most of the mobs but die before the last two fall. Rez the last two wander around separately, kill one, kill the second, quest completes. Fly off with Flynn and Taelia.
Kind of wish Kirk was there to reprogram the computer.

Description

Someone must have recognized Flynn and ratted him out! A bunch of Irontide thugs dragged him off to the Ring of Booty for a "special audience" with Captain Harlan Sweete. Flynn doesn't like to talk about this, but he used to captain his own crew. With Harlan as his First Mate. The two had a falling out after a messy job and Flynn lost all taste for freebooting. Just disappeared one day. Harlan took the nastiest of the crew and formed the Irontide Raiders. In other words; it's personal.

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.

  • Rodrigo's RoostTiragarde Sound · Level 10-60

    We should check in with Cyrus and Taelia before we get in too deep. <Flynn pens a note on a scrap of parchment and tucks it into a small courier bag.> This is all of the evidence we've gathered so far linking the Ashvane Trading Company to the weapons and pirates here in Freehold.
