If you're like me and simply ran through the tunnel without realizing that you had to scare a bunch of vermin, you will need to find your way back to the tunnel. This was pretty much impossible for me because I was constantly in combat in the main square. I needed to hearthstone out and then find my way back. Once I did that, I easily found the correct entrance (because I could fly), which is at 56, 53.

Description

Tess and Voss are waiting for you at the end of the tunnel. Once you arrive, the three of you will open the south gate from the inside, and let our forces into the city. Head through the tunnel to meet them. Take this torch, the way is infested with vermin. I'll ready our forces to storm the gate the moment it is opened.

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.

  • Aderic's RetortLevel 70

    The scouts report that the Scarlet Crusade at Aderic's Repose are being encouraged to tamper with the graves of my people by one Scarlet in particular. Too many Gilneans gave their lives defending this land. I will not let their sacrifice be... defiled in this manner!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scarlet BloodLevel 70

    Looks like they've filled the city with their most experienced forces. Don't worry, I have plenty of experience taking them down... personally. We'll whittle their numbers down one by one.
