After extensive theorycrafting, I performed many experiments. Over 9,001 iterations of my experiment, I found these results: 100% :: Mob death :: while_attacking 0% :: Mob death :: not_attacking Thus it seems that, though this result may be counterintuitive, one way to avoid having the target mob die is to stop inflicting damage. I will perform further research to confirm.

Description

Enough! I want you to put an end to the torture of my people! The Onslaught's torturer, Alphonse, has been bleeding information out of everyone that gets caught by those fiends! I need to know what they know. My sources tell me that he has set up shop in the basement of their barracks, which is right next to the smithy. I'll loan you my personal branding iron to see to it that the job is done right. Find him and get that information.

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.

  • No Mercy for the CapturedDragonblight · Level 15-30

    We have more fools for you to kill. My agents tell me that several of our good citizens have seen fit to fall into the hands of the Scarlet Onslaught. This will not do. Go back to New Hearthglen and eliminate Deathguard Schneider, Senior Scrivener Kinnedius, Engineer Burke and Chancellor Amai.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Without a PrayerDragonblight · Level 15-30

    These plans indicate something imminent is being planned. But first, there's the matter of this strange protection that the Onslaught forces have. If Venomspite is to deal with them once and for all, we must find out who's behind it and eliminate them.
