Do not run out of the encounter before Baine does, or you will be doing this all over again, just hang back and wait for him to go through the portal. If you left before he does, drop the quest and get it again.

Description

I dare not step inside that accursed tower myself, of course. While I cannot tell you exactly where your comrade is being held, I offer a gift to assist you. Use it inside Torghast. It should take you somewhere near your missing ally. Baine Bloodhoof was his name, yes? Either that, or you'll end up trapped within the tower's ever-shifting halls for all eternity. But those are the risks one must take, I suppose. Best of luck!

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Into TorghastThe Maw · Level 60

    The bond to your covenant is growing stronger, <name>. Good. The power lies within you to venture into Torghast and rescue our allies. You saw Baine Bloodhoof while assisting the broker in the Maw. Perhaps this Ve'nari knows a way to breach the Jailer's tower and find the chieftain.

After this quest

  • Prison of the ForgottenThe Maw · Level 60

    <As you stare at the object you've found, you sense it may lead you to another part of this wretched tower. Perhaps Ve'nari may know more of its purpose.>
