TheWoWDBIs it possible to have more fun than running around killing a bunch of innocent citizens? But it´s really annoying when they run away. Luckily we have death grip and icy touch (yes I know that icy touch doesn´t slow them but it´s ranged).

Outside the Town Hall in new Avalon there's ALOT of citizens.
DoT them up and use a couple of Pestilences and they're dead!
Alot of nice skulls doing this!
I feel bad killing the helpless citizens... but it's worth it.

Description
Most humans would have fled the moment a Scourge necropolis took up residence in their air space. Not the Scarlet Crusade! I must confess - I rather enjoy our exchanges with the Crusade. Through the years, Scourge battles against them have resulted in several of the most tragic events in human history. Yet here we stand - AGAIN - locked in battle! We shan't deny them the pleasures of eternal servitude to the Lich King! Enter New Avalon and fulfill their death wish. Leave no survivors.
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.
- Nowhere To Run And Nowhere To Hide
Nothing less than total annihilation will suffice, <name>. To that end, a few hundred mindless ghouls assaulting the front gate of New Avalon will not do. We must infiltrate the inner sanctum and dispose of their officials. They must be shown that no one can escape the Scourge's grasp!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Plaguebringer's Request
Look at this pumpkin patch! Notice anything missing? Of course you don't, because you're a moron! Your brain was probably the first thing to die. <Noth sighs.> I have been commanded to put together a plague cauldron. You will help me. Directly inside the gate of New Avalon is the inn.
