My wife was redoing this quest as a warlock, and thought she couldn't complete because demonic gateway wasn't learned yet, but then she realized there is a 'quest button' with the ability. She had to disable ElvUI to get it to function though.
Currently bugged for me on Legion Remix. I've defeated all the enemies, picked up the scythe, but still the quest log is stuck at "0/1 Defeat the Dark Riders" (the step for claiming the scythe has been properly ticked off).

Description
This sewer grate leads to the catacombs underneath Karazhan. I've never paid it much attention, but it seems to be where the Nightbane are being drawn to. To think, the Dark Riders may have been under our noses this entire time! Come, let us see where this leads.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Deadwind Hunt
The Nightbane! If they are in Deadwind Pass, then they may be seeking the scythe as well. Let's split up and try to track them down. We'll see where their trail leads...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Burden Borne
Your assistance against the Dark Riders has proven a great service to the Light. Though our beliefs may separate us, I know that we share one goal. You have allowed me to fill my purpose in returning these artifacts to their rightful owners, and for this I am thankful.
