/way dathomir -1106 6140 an Outcast Witch;
An Outcast Witch: Are you yet another illusion of rescue sent to break my will?
You: Oh no, I am quite real. Follow me and I'll show you what power there is in anger and hatred.
An Outcast Witch:
No. You know not the tortures these foul beings have put to me nor what I witnessed them do to my sisters. I have anger and hatred aplenty.
You: So you're not going to let me escort you out of here?
An Outcast Witch:
You have weakened them. I can feel the power of my passions building in me. I shall battle free on my own or perish in this attempt.

Arch Witch Azzenaj -
Comm message: There was only a single Initiate left alive?! She is bold to face the Spiderclan alone but there is a fine line between bravery and foolhardniess. Create a distraction to help her escape then return to me.
Cause a Distraction: Engage Acolytes
Engage a number of the Spiderclan Acolytes and cause a distraction to help the lone Initiate escape.
- Kill 5 Spiderclan Acolytes that are located throughout the cave
- Once you've killed 5 Spiderclan Acolytes, the quest updates
Note: The respawn timer on the Spiderclan Acolytes is very long. (30 minutes, maybe more. This may be a bug)
Return to Leandra/Azzenaj
Make your way back to the Nightsister Stronghold/Singing Mountain Clan stronghold and return to Spell Weaver Leandra/Arch Witch Azzenaj.
- Make your way back to Spell Weaver Leandra/Arch Witch Azzenaj at the Nightsister Stronghold/Singing Mountain Clan
- When you arrive, speak with Spell Weaver Leandra/Arch Witch Azzenaj
Spell Weaver Leandra/Arch Witch Azzenaj: The sole remaining survivor has returned. You have succeeded, Outworlder.
You: She made it back? But where is she?
This completes the quest. Continue your conversation to move onto the next quest.
Reward:
- 3 Spider Silk
- 3 Random Valuables
Nightsister Dialogue
Spell Weaver Leandra: In the process of fighting her way free it appears she cast a spell fueled by anger. She has now been exiled from her clan to purify herself. Fools. She has tasted true power, now, and will come join the true Nightsisters soon.
You: That doesn't solve the problem, though.
Spell Weaver Leandra:
Indeed it does not. As long as this Spiderclan is strong there exists danger.
You:
So what is going to be done?
Spell Weaver Leandra:
These rogues cannot be allowed to consider themselves in any way victorious.
You: That means we go kick some more spider tail?
Spell Weaver Leandra:
Spiders do not have tails. Using the patches you gathered for Rubina, I cast a spell of seeking. It leads to another location that is obscured.
You: So go take out Obfuscatrixes so you can see better and then you'll lead me in again?
Spell Weaver Leandra:
Yes, just like before.
Singing Mountain Clan Dialogue
Arch Witch Azzenaj: In the process of fighting her way free it appears she cast a spell fueled by anger. She has now been exiled to purify herself from the influence of the Night.
You: That doesn't solve the problem, though.
Arch Witch Azzenaj:
As long as this Spiderclan is strong there exists danger.
You: So what is going to be done?
Arch Witch Azzenaj: '
Never concede to evil' is the final entry in our Book of Law and Allya's last words to her daughters.
You: That means we go kick some more spider tail?
Arch Witch Azzenaj:
As you say. Using the patches you gathered for Rubina, I cast a spell of seeking. It leads to another location that is obscured.
You: So go take out Obfuscatrixes so you can see better and then you'll lead me in again?
Arch Witch Azzenaj:
Yes, just like before.
