The Attack!

Remain in the garden until Lord Gregor Lescovar and Marzon the Silent Blade have had their conversation. Afterwards, kill them both before returning to Elling Trias in Stormwind.
  •  
 Overhear Lescovar and Marzon's Conversation
  •  
 Overhear Lescovar and Marzon's Conversation
Lescovar's Head

Description

After I put on Spybot's disguise, he'll head in to talk to Lescovar. The guards should let him pass no problem.

While you were getting materials for me, I took care of informing Marzon that it was time for him and Lescovar to meet again. I even dropped some false information.

Lescovar will dismiss his guards and wait for Marzon out here in the garden. After you catch wind of talk about the Defias, make your move. You need to kill them both before the guards return! When you're done, speak to Trias.

This is a really fun quest, and is part of a great series (starting from a drop off VC in Deadmines, leading to Stockades, then finally paperboy quests in SW) which leads to the great reward - seal of wrynn, an amazing ring which will last you until level 50.

The quest invovles assasinating the boss of the traitors against Stormwind. As a rogue, mage, warlock, hunter , this quest is easier because you can crowd control one (sap, sheep, pet, fear, etc). However, as a warrior you may find difficulties.

A useful tip is to wave at the guards when they walk away. Because they are friendly, they wave back to you (they are the only guards who do) and stop walking. Keep waving until the speech is over and recorded. Then charge in, and do a decent amount of damage, Just before you die, pop a hp pot and run to the guards you were waving to. Because they waved back, they will not have gone far and will help you kill the 2 traitors.

Make sure you get a decent amount of damage first though, or else you won't get the kill. You need to take at least 1/4 chunk of their hp bar before you can get a kill.

keep /waving for all you're worth! Do this and you can complete the quest at around level 30. The key is taking the kill.

When you accept the quest:
  • Tyrion's Spybot says: By your command!
  • Tyrion says: Wait here, <name>. Spybot will make Lescovar come out as soon as possible. Be ready! Attack only after you've overheard their conversation.
Tyrion's Spybot is disguised as Priestess Tyriona and walks toward the two Stormwind Royal Guards.
  • Priestess Tyriona says: Good day to you both. I would speak to Lord Lescovar.
  • Stormwind Royal Guard says: Of course. He awaits you in the library.
  • Priestess Tyriona says: Thank you. The Light be with you both.
The two Stormwind Royal Guards kneel as Priestess Tyriona proceeds into the library toward Lord Gregor Lescovar.
  • Priestess Tyriona says: Milord, your guest has arrived. He awaits your presence.
  • Lord Gregor Lescovar says: Ah, thank you kindly. I will leave you to the library while I tend to this small matter.
  • Priestess Tyriona says: I shall use this time wisely, milord. Thank you.
Lord Gregor Lescovar walks out of the library into the courtyard.
  • Lord Gregor Lescovar says: It's time for my meditation, leave me.
  • Stormwind Royal Guard says: Yes, sir!
  • Lord Gregor Lescovar waits for the guards to be out of sight.
Marzon appears.
  • Lord Gregor Lescovar says: There you are. What news from Westfall?
  • Marzon the Silent Blade says: VanCleef sends word that the plans are underway. But he's heard rumors about someone snooping about.
  • Lord Gregor Lescovar says: Hmm, it could be that meddler Shaw. I will see what I can discover. Be off with you. I'll contact you again soon.
  • Marzon the Silent Blade says: Very well. I will return then.
  • Tyrion says: That's it! That's what you were waiting for! KILL THEM!
When you get aggro:
  • Lord Gregor Lescovar says: What? How dare you!
  • Marzon the Silent Blade says: The Defias shall succeed! No meek adventurer will stop us!

Make sure you attack Lord Gregor first. If you attack Marzon first, by the time you have killed him, you will not be able to attack Lord Gregor. So hit him first and Marzon will aggro.

If you fail to kill them and abondon the quest, you have to wait a few minutes for the spybot to return before he will give the quest out again.

Also if you do kill them, the same. have to wait for a few beofre you can turn in the quest.

"The Unsent letter" Quest starts with picking up an Letter item from the boss of the Deadmines, Edwin VanCleef.

Starting the quest and it'll send you to Alexston Baros and through the Stockades. After you done through all the chains you'll get the ring.

You don't even really need to get them down by 1/4. I waved like you should, tagged them both and the guard was already attacking my first target. I ran over to make sure i got some good damage on him. He went down, guard worked on the other. I must have only done less than 20% damage on each. You only need to /wave to one guard. I did this solo with my lv 28 tankadin and never got below 60% health. Don't think I even healed. Good rewards for this series. Think i got about 3500 exp.

I could only do this (as a mage 27) by enlisting someone to help me kill both of these guys. With two people, it is very easy - piece of cake. The other guy was a lvl 32 Paladin and had no idea what was going on since the quest is not sharable.

You can redo this quest by abadoning it and retaking from Tyrion. I failed for first time aswell. If u're rogue just sap one and kill the second. Other classes (if ur not engineer with goblin rocket helmet) have to attack both to engage them into combat.

This is pretty easy IF you do it in the right order.&nbsp The 1st time I messed it up by hitting the rogue 1st and the other guy just walked off as a friendly target so I couldnt kill him.&nbsp If you do it wrong you can just abandon the quest and restart the meeting again by accepting the quest again from the gnome Tyrion.

As a hunter I just used Multi-shot as soon as the sword pointer became available and sent my pet onto the rogue.&nbsp The other guy did no damage to me in melee and my pet killed the rogue by the time I killed the other guy.

I did this at lvl 31.

Soloed this on my 27 hunter, no sweat. Killed the old guy first, then killed the defias contact. Easy peasy, I didn't pull aggro off my pet even once, nor did I have to heal it (thought it was injured by the battle's end). Cat pet. Could probably be done a little earlier with a good defensive pet who can take a beating while you whittle them down.

Other classes may have a difficult time soloing this below the intended level.

lescovar is 30, marzon is 31. had to do this 2x since i didn't kill one of them the first time. seems like if you attack lescovar, both will come after you. just marzon, then lescovar keeps going back into library. could be, 1st time i also let too much space in between them so the other one didn't link.

funny thing is, i was still fighting marzon when the guards came back. they even helped me kill him and i still got a completion flag for both.

Crazy easy for hunters. Before the conversation ends, place a frost trap where the rogue is standing. When they start to attack he'll be frozen. Have your pet tank Lescovar and kill him like you would any other mob. If he dies early, use that time to bandage/heal your pet if necessary and then kill the rogue.

It would probably be just as easy having your pet tank both at the same time but this just seems a lot more clever. XD

just as a tip, this quest can be difficult if you focus on killing the rogue first because lescovar will turn back green and you won't be able to attack him. I had problems with this as a rogue trying to sap lescovar and kill the rogue.

As a level 25 mage I made a macro of /wave and mashed it at one of the guards then I used Frost Nova and froze them. Unfortunatly Lescovar didn't freeze so I sheeped the rogue. The guard then came and helped and i managed to get damage him so I got credit. Took a couple tries cuz they resist almost all my spells.

If someone is helping you with this quest make sure you hit both before he starts to help. And always hit Lescovar first cuz if you hit rogue instead Lescovar will turn green and head back to libary. If you hit Lescovar on the other hand rogue will start to attack you.

Just wait for a guard to walk up and walk down a bit yourself.. the guard will fight one, while you kill the one you need. Be aware that you need to have dmg the other. Or you wont get him as a kill.

Solo'd as L28 Rogue:

1. Stealth & sap rogue when convo ends
2. Backstab Lescovar, fight till death
3. Pop health pot
4. Gouge rogue, backstab, etc (thistle tea would come in handy)
5. Towards the end, the guards returned and helped me finish him off

(I believe this only works if Lescovar dies first. At my first attempt, Lescovar just walked away as I was finishing off the rogue)

I was a level 18 draenei shaman, and I just got a level 40 in my guild to kill them. Heres a walkthrough:

You turn in the previous quest and you accept this one. You will see some human woman (the spybot in disguise) walk towards the hallway where the two guards are. The guards part and let her in the library. (I snuck in the library, because I thought the quest log was wrong or something, because it takes a long time for her and the dude walk out.
The dude stands in the middle of the garden, and the girl walks away to outside of the garden to get the other level 31 you will kill. The other dude will eventually come (stealthed) and unstealth to talk to the other guy.
At that point my high level helper and i prepared for combat. As soon as the dudes stopped talking, we attacked the dudes and I turned in the quest. END.
Also if you fail the quest the first time, you just wait for the spybot to respawn and start the quest again. I like this quest because the bot turns into a woman, and before you have to gather 2 apples, HMM what could those stand for??? Lol, Good luck.
