Master Shaw was not in the cave - I could not see him. The credited; I found him, but still I could not see him. I run out of the cave and simply logged out, logged back and run back to the cave. Shaw was there and the dude was there. I killed him and followed Shaw just out of the cave. I could turn in the quest outside of the cave.

Description

Hmm. Shaw said he'd check in when we got communications back but he hasn't. He's probably run into the same trouble the rest of our spies did. I'll stay here and guard the listening post. You find Shaw. He was headed for the cliff above Warfang Hold near the top of the waterfall. The peons called that area "The Screaming Pit" for some reason. I bet it's a real pleasant place. Stab whatever he's fighting for me, okay?

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.

  • Listen Up!Level 50

    Okay! Once we get this up and running we should be able to send messages! In the valley at least. It's gonna be a little bit tricky, but I've read the manual for these things cover to cover. <Kelsey slaps the top of the listening device.> I'm gonna put this thing back together.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Gathering of FoesLevel 50

    Before I was distracted, I was able to find out more about this Horde gathering. Sylvanas has summoned the leaders of the Horde and its allies. For what purpose, I cannot say. We aren't in a position to strike her down--she is too well-protected.

The storyline at a glance

The Gathering Storm has 9 steps, from Spy Versus Spy to A Gathering of Foes.
