As expected, I wasn't able to free any of the other paralyzed mobs I interacted with in the prior step. I assumed as much, but I still wanted to check to be on the safe side. No idea why I care about not real npcs but leaving them in a frozen state bothers me.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

It's perfect! The Puppetmaster is so interested in adding you to his collection, he literally invited us to go rescue the Magistrate. I don't want to imply I've been using you as bait this entire time, but... Let's just say certain calculated risks have paid off. Even such a skilled artist must have a way to correct potential errors. There has to be an antitoxin of sorts for that paralytic around here somewhere! Find it. And perhaps we test it before we go use it on the Magistrate. Just in case.

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.

  • Espionage and VentriloquismAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80

    The Puppetmaster is our best lead for finding the Magistrate. But is it just me, or did those puppets seem... horrifically lifelike? If this artist is behind the Magistrate's disappearance, he certainly isn't just off to see a puppet show. We should investigate the Puppetmaster's workshop.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pulling StringsAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80

    Just think of it! Overcrawlers, war prisoners, civilians, fellow nerubians, important nobility being kidnapped and turned into puppets right under the Magistrate's nose. It's horrific--and exactly what I needed! If we save the Magistrate from this fate, he'll owe me.
