The dialogue during this quest:
Baroness Vashj says: Mephiles stands between us and Mor'Bitan. Just as I impeded your path to Illidan.
Mephiles the Loyal yells: Scour this marsh! Any animate will serve our purposes!
Mephiles the Loyal yells: Mor'Bitan demands results! Salvage all available anima!
Mephiles the Loyal says: Intruders! You will not interfere!
Baroness Vashj says: Excellent. Now show him what will happen if he does not cooperate.
Mephiles the Loyal says: Slay as many as you wish. I will tell you nothing.
Baroness Vashj says: Mephiles. How good of you to join us.
What worked for me was to run inside the building when he cast Necrotic orb. Then run back outside when he cast it again. Lather, rinse, repeat.

What to do
Description
Perhaps Draka has forgotten her loyalties, but I will fulfill my mission. My enemy--the lich Mor'Bitan--hides within the House of Rituals. For some reason, his underlings skulk in this marsh. We have not learned why they are here, but my devoted have spotted Mor'Bitan's second-in-command, Mephiles the Loyal. He will have our answers. Collect him for me. Once you capture him, slay his kin. Weaken his resolve. I will prime my base for his interrogation.

My mission cannot progress without a supply of anima. Fortunately, the necromancers nearby have been kind enough to gather some into their maldracite crystals. You will relieve them of those crystals. They may be reluctant to part with them, but I trust you can be... persuasive.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- War is Deception
You have proven a useful ally, <name>. Mephiles undoubtedly possesses a wealth of information for us. However, the House of Rituals is unforgiving when it comes to betrayal. He will not talk. Not that it matters. The House of Eyes has ways to...
