Description

To add insult to injury, they disarmed me. I'm not leaving without those blades! While we're looking, keep an eye out for any evidence of what's going on here. Anything that could give us an advantage against the nerubians. Something strange happened that provided us the opening to escape. I have a feeling that could be something we can exploit.

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.

  • Force Your WayAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80

    Even with the general gone, it's not going to be easy getting out of here. This place is infested. I know I'm hiding it well, but I'm not exactly feeling my best. I'm not sure I'll be much help in this state. You're going to have to clear a path for us.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Let Fly!Azj-Kahet · Level 78-80

    Hm. This Anub'azal gave the orders that led to the prisoners' escape. Zev'kall here didn't seem very pleased with that. So how about this--you sneak into Siegehold, and make best friends with Anub'azal. Easy.
