TheWoWDBSkull - Unless you wish to speak to someone more on your own intellectual level, a skull won't do us any good
Chain - I fear my magic is distinctly not of the chain-manipulating variety. See what else you can find.
Torch - A torch? While many a villain might disguise a hidden switch inside one, a jail cell is not a likely place for it.
Hand - A hand? Yes... yes! By the Primus, that's ingenious!

For anyone reading who hasn't done this quest: These are the 4 objects in the cell that you can interact with. Upon interacting with each, [npc=173172] has something unique to say. The skull one was rather rude.

Description
There must be some way we can get ourselves out of these cells. I don't see anything I can use over here. Search your cell for anything that can facilitate our escape.
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.
Getting there
Flight points closest to the quest’s turn-in marker on Vault of Souls:
- Renounced Bastille, Maldraxxus
- Keres' Rest, Maldraxxus
- Theater of Pain, Maldraxxus
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Caught in the Act
Well then, since it was you who managed to procure the missing reagent, I find it only fair that you assist me with the final ritual! I can guarantee that this incantation will see you promoted to a full sorcerer of the house! The preparations are already made. We can begin as soon as you are ready.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Helpful Hand
It takes but a simple act of necromancy to animate a hand. Unfortunately, since you will be in closest proximity, you must be the one to command it. When you are ready, I will reanimate the hand. Once you have control, use it to pull the lever at the end of the hall. Couldn't be simpler, right?
