Description

This is as good a chance as we are going to get to rescue Verene's daughter.

Here is how this is going to work.

You are going to wait here for the guard to pass by on their way to their guard shift. Look for something to hide in.

You will know the guard by their bright red armor.

Follow closely, but not so closely that you are seen. It may be necessary to kill the guard when you reach your destination.

The child's name is Korine. Good luck.

This quest is so astonishingly annoying. I wish there was an alternate in which you murder everyone in suramar.

Once I got into the barrel, I couldn't get out. If this happens to you, this'll work:

All Along the WaterwaysSuramar · Level 45
I've noticed some wandering eyes, lately. I am more than happy to continue delivering the goods to Vanthir, but it is getting increasingly dangerous to do so. The Duskwatch that walk the bazaar are by far the most observant. Find and slay the Orbitists so that I may deliver the goods safely.
