Pretty straight forward. The Patrol Schedule can be found on the table on the second floor of the Scarlet Hold. Once you've picked up this quest, be sure to pick up Brothers in Death as well (seems to be made available the second you acquire The Path of the Righeous Crusader), as the objective of that quest can be found in the cellar of the same building.

Description

We haven't got a damned clue about when or where this courier is supposed to show up. None of these humans had an answer either. <Orbaz points to the Scarlet corpses strewn across the floor.> I did manage to beat something useful out of the last one. Inside Scarlet Hold they keep a schedule of all patrol routes. I want you to break into the hold and steal the schedule. The hold is the largest building in New Avalon - northeast of here.

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.

  • Behind Scarlet LinesLevel 8-30

    I have sent Orbaz, Thassarian and Koltira behind enemy lines to search for the courier. They have set up a base of operations at the Scarlet Tavern, located at the southern end of New Avalon. The tavern is tucked away behind the two orchards, adjacent to the Chapel of the Crimson Flame.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Brothers In DeathLevel 8-30

    Breaking through the Scarlet lines was no easy task. We suffered many casualties during the assault and lost one of our best death knights, Koltira Deathweaver. I don't know whether he's dead or alive, but I'll be damned if we don't search for him.
