You DO NOT need your [item=112904] in order to kill/loot the spears - the mobs are still hostile to you with or without the disguise.
However, when you have the disguise it makes the Sargerei mobs in the area non-hostile, which allows you easier access to get to the quest guys.
You DO however NEED the disguise on when you go to turn in the quest or you will not be able to see the NPCs.

If you lost your disguise. Just go down the stairs, kill some Sargerei initiates and they will drop the 3 pieces needed for the disguise pretty fast.
I couldn't see the NPC until i got a new disguise. When you mouse over the initiates it won't show that they'll drop the items, but they do.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Infiltrating the SargereiLevel 40
One of my men has already infiltrated the Sargerei's ranks, but I need you to help him. In order to protect his cover, you will need to disguise yourself as one of the enemy. Kill Sargerei until you collect a cowl, robe, and slippers to create a disguise.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Word of SocretharLevel 40
The Sargerei follow Socrethar zealously. From what I can gather, he is a persuasive and compelling leader. Many of the initiates carry books of his writings. I need you to read these works and report back to me. If we can understand the Sargerei's motivations, perhaps we can undermine them.
