Shiny, But Deadly

Shiny, But Deadly is a quest for level 10-45 in Highmountain. It is step 1 of 3 in the Mucksnout Den storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Highmountain at 38.9, 43.7. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

Soulkeeper Uriah and I were transporting demon prisoners to Allari in Azsuna when our caravan was attacked by kobolds.

Those mindless vermin made off with the soul chambers that house our demonic captives.

The crystals may be shiny, but they're also deadly. If they are damaged in any way, the demons trapped within may escape.

Head into the cave nearby and recover the soul chambers before it's too late.

I had a problem finding Apprentice Rosalyn. I was looking for her at the entrance of the cave, where she gave me the quests "Shiny, But Deadly" and "The Soulkeeper's Fate".
The problem was that the UI was telling me she was at the entrance, while tracking "Shiny, But Deadly", but when I clicked to track "The Soulkeeper's Fate", the wow ui showed me exactly where she was located, at the bottom of the cave.

    Soulkeeper Uriah was injured in the kobold attack, but insisted on venturing further into the cave to recover the stolen soul shards. He told me to wait here with our remaining supplies until he returned, but I fear the worst. Please find Uriah. He is the only one who knows how to trap the demons.
