Objectives

Knight Commander Plaguefist at the Chapel of the Crimson Flame has ordered you to execute <NPC>, an Argent Dawn prisoner inside the nearby prison house.

  • <NPC> slain

Description

We got here, tore the place apart, and headed toward the prison house. We weren't expecting what we found in there, <name>. Seems the Crusade's been real busy. That whole thing is full of Argent Dawn prisoners. Most of them were already dead by the time we arrived, but a few were still breathing.

I was about to go in there and execute the rest of them, but I think you should have the honors. In particular, there's a real feisty <race> in there that I think you'll take great pleasure in executing.

Rewards

You will receive: 85s and 1 Bonus talent

Progress

How does it feel?

Completion

Felt good, didn't it? You're not one of them anymore, <name>. You're Scourge. You're one of us. Forever...

Notes

If you have a pet ghoul, put him on passive. Otherwise he attacks and kills the target before you can draw blood, depriving you of credit for the kill. Also, if you don't kill him/her fast enough, another Death Knight can. However, if you don't kill him, no one gets the credit, as the prisoner will die from their injuries. It's possible that this was maybe as an oversight or to stop others from kill stealing.

Players get a slightly different version of this quest based on their race.

The blood elf version targets Lady Eonys:

Come to finish the job, have you?
You'll look me in the eyes when...
<name>?
<name>, I'd recognize that face anywhere... What... What have they done to you, <name>?
Think, <name>. Think back. Try and remember the majestic halls of Silvermoon City, where you were born. Remember the splendor of life, brother. You were a champion of the sin'dorei once! This isn't you.
Listen to me, <name>. You must fight against the Lich King's control. He is a monster that wants to see this world - our world - in ruin. Don't let him use you to accomplish his goals. You were once a hero and you can be again. Fight, damn you! Fight his control!
Knight Commander Plaguefist yells: What's going on in there? What's taking so long, <name>?
There... There's no more time for me. I'm done for. Finish me off, <name>. Do it or they'll kill us both. <name>... Remember Silvermoon. This world is worth saving!
Do it, <name>! Put me out of my misery!
