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 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.
