TheWoWDBCan confirm that this quest becomes available at Appreciative, I do NOT recommend doing this quest while you're at Tier 5 Eye of the Jailer, or have bad gear. It's currently bugged in a way that prevents you from recovering your Stygia after death, and you'll be stuck in a death loop losing more and more Stygia, the more you try to recover it.
If you die, you will have to click the device again in order to phase into the other phase to see your body, but by doing so you will be stunned for 1 minute (and the stun isn't removable by a Trinket either) and the NPC will just kill you.
How it's intended to work is that Ve'nari removes the stun once the fight is engaged, but since the NPC doesn't reset until a long time has passed, this never happens. I'd advise to just wait until the next day to complete the quest.
I've lost 3487 Stygia trying to get it back.
If you die, don't even try again.

What to do
Description
Our arrangement has been quite lucrative. Reliable associates like yourself can be so hard to find. I believe I can entrust you with a task I would usually perform on my own. While working with the tracking runes you retrieved for me earlier, I detected a device of broker origin nearby. It must have been brought into the Maw by the captured expedition. Please examine it and prepare it for transport back to the refuge. I will join you shortly. This could be a valuable discovery.

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.

You! You, there! Wait! You are the infamous Maw Walker, yes? I have heard much about you. Please, help me! My compatriots have been drained of their essence. The Mawsworn are using it to fashion their foul runes. One of them bound me here, and I am sure to be next on his list.
