The "something suspicious" you're looking for after checking out the sewage entrance is a little piece of mud (footprints) behind some grass on the other side of the lake. On your mini map it's around the edge of the quest highlight circle.

There's a sewage entrance by the waterfall, go there first. Then head straight across the lake, find the mud in the reeds, then to your left will be more mud. Kill the 3 spies that spawn from the mud, and voila! :)

I spent ages uncovering the mud first, killing the spies etc, but not doing the sewage door part. Doh.

Description

Keep your head down. We do not want to be seen out here. Our spies keep watch over Stormwind day and night, and saw no signs of Saurfang. Nor did we notice any oddly-oversized carts or strange ships in the night, if that was what you were thinking. How then, did he make his escape? Let's look around.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Way OutLevel 50

    My spies report that our High Overlord did not leave the way he entered, nor any other way we know of. No signs of him were seen at any of the known exits from the Stockades or the sewers. He simply was in his cell one moment, and gone the next. Begin your investigation around the city of Stormwind.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eastern EscapeLevel 50

    It's not unusual to see SI:7 spies lurking around the city, but something about this doesn't feel right. We need to find where Saurfang's trail picks up. The last tracks were heading east, towards Redridge.

Lost Honor has 13 steps, from The Dark Lady Calls to Queen's Favor.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Redridge Mountains (5), Orgrimmar (4), Elwynn Forest (2), Swamp of Sorrows (2).
