Search the wooded area around the entrance of Sik'vess Lair (47,79). The "cages" are tall skinny orange crystal-looking things that look nothing like cages, and there aren't a lot of them. Each is guarded by at least one bug man, so pick up Thinning the Sik'thik while you're at it. I suspect Restless Leng always spawns from the 8th and last cage, as he did for me.

Description

One of my best scouts, Restless Leng, went missing during a mission on the other side of Sik'vess. I'm hopeful that he was captured rather than killed, but with the mantid corrupted so heavily by sha, it doesn't seem likely. Still, can you investigate the cages around Sik'vess? I owe him a more thorough search than even this, but I have no men to spare without allowing our southern lines to break. Please, {class}, even if there's no life left in him, find him that I might know his fate.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Thinning the Sik'thikTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    For all our efforts to keep the mantid in the Dread Wastes, some have broken through, seemingly intent on Niuzao Temple. My men have been attempting to extinguish their presence to the west, at Sik'vess, but to no success.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Taoshi and KorvexxisTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    Taoshi is setting up an ambush for one of the mantid leaders on the south side of Sik'vess. She is tasked with retrieving his crystal so that we can use it to open the door. Two are stronger than one. I want you there to make sure it goes smoothly.
