yea hes up stairs and the guard is lvl 36

The Oval guy is all the way upstairs in the building behind the camp enclosure.

Now gives 3850xp as of patch 2.3

Soloable as a level 31 rogue. Sap the Warden and dps Kegan down as fast as possible. A pot really helps because I was down to my last sliver of life before I got him. Vanish and run away before the Warden comes out of her sap.

I'm level 32 at the moment and this quest is yellow. The warden is level 36 and I'm starting to wonder what Blizzard is thinking marking the quest yellow when the mob is 4 levels above.

I could not complete this as a level 31 Druid. I got everything except the Oval, it requires you to fight 2 people, one of which is a caster. Since Bear form doesn't help against magic damage, I just couldn't kill even the Oval guy before I died. She hits pretty damn hard with her Fireballs. The corpse run for Horde is also horribly long, so I gave up and I'll get the Oval in a couple of levels.

Finished it as a lvl 31 hunter. Didn't find too much difficulty in it, just fought the level 36, then when that one was dead I fought Kegan, since the four of them don't aggro unless provoked.

I absolutely hate this quest. I made a account here to complain about it.

As a 33 rogue, I simply can't do it. There's 2 stone guards upstairs, and the warden. It's impossible for me to sneak in... Then to make matters worse, the NPC that you need to kill just runs off at 30%!

No matter what I've tried, I always agro the WHOLE room... Bring potions, have good gear, and hope for the best I suppose :/

I also have just made an account to complain about this horrible quest.

The quest was shown as yellow, and as a 31 retribution paladin with excellent gear for my level I tend to have little problem soloing slightly above my level so decided to try it.

The main house isn't too bad, use retribution aura (or thorns) to kill the ghosts the casters spawn, since any damage at all seems to kill them. Use your interrupts on their frostbolts instead.

Then the oddest things started to happen..

Firstly, the two stone guards aggro when I am below them with no line-of-sight at all, which was rather annoying. You need to remember this, as it changes how you kill the last caster (the one in the corner). On my first attempt I had to reset the pull due to getting three +2/3 level mobs at once due to this aggro bug. LoS the caster and drag her to the doorway you just came up. Dispatch the two guards as a 2-pull by swicthing damage to whichever one doesn't have the aura up and begin the final challenge.

Notes:

- You cannot LoS her casts on the stairway by running to the top and back down again, you need to abuse the downstairs (the one you just used to pull the last caster) doorway to LoS her fireball casts.
- She has a fairly weak melee attack, Cone of Cold (50% snare) aswell as a reasonably powerful Fireball.
- The way I killed her as a 31 retribution paladin (with a terrible hit rate due to the 5 level difference) was by Judging Light and using Blessing of Wisdom at the start of the fight before running in & out around the doorframe. I ate a few Cones of Cold which made movement difficult, however when she starts casting Fireball it gave time for a single Flash of Light before LoS'ing the cast in the doorway. This was very slow, however it worked - I doubt the retribution ""burst"" tactic used for most assassination quests at that level would have worked due to the level distance, however good luck if you attempt this quest at a higher level.

Lastly, if you're Horde, as has been said, the corpse run is absolutely awful to get back to this point and you're likely going to have to kill everything all over again. So dont' waste your time LoS'ing on the stairway unless you can somehow guarantee snare removal. Abuse the downstairs doorway the best you can and don't rely on interrupts since they have a high chance of missing for underlevelled characters.

This is a horrible, horrible quest. Tried as a level 32 Blood Elf mage, and this was a yellow quest for me. While the Wedge, Marble, and Shard were easy to get, I found the Bloodstone Oval impossible to get to. I tried everything except bringing a group in. The level 36 mob is highly resistant to Counterspell, although I was able to polymorph her, but I could not bring Kegan down enough to survive the the Warden's fireball assault after the Polymorph expired. Her Fireball, by the way, averaged about 180 damage for me, which was more then 1/8 of my hit points. And, as others have stated, the corpse run for the Horde is terrible, and that combined with the quick respawn times for the mobs in the area makes this quest one of the most frustrating and badly designed I've encountered so far. I'll wait to continue the quest until I'm level 34 or higher.

EDIT: I got to level 34 and happened to have a Paladin friend who was running quests in the same area. He came in a helped and it was easy to finish. Bring a partner and save yourself the frustration.

Just solo'ed as a lv34 Fire mage and actually this quest is quite easy at my level. Dead once because pulled too many on the seconds floor of the building.

Venovel examined the stockade with a critical eye. There were guards at both entrances and roaming patrols.

She noted a critical flaw in the camp's design. They had built no wall at the rear, relying on the steep side of the hill to prevent prisoners from escaping. The fools. A single guard patrolled the hill, but he was easily dealt with.

A short jump down to the ground, and she could quickly and quietly take out the roaming patrols within the stockade. The three prisoners within were easy prey for a few spells. Only now was it necessary to take down the guards at the entrance so she could depart.

Next, she went to the building next door and worked her way through, Turning any additional guards that came after her into sheep while she dealt with them one at a time.

Finally, She found the final traitor, guarded by a powerful spellcaster. Contemptuously turning the spellcaster into a sheep, the traitor soon went down. A fire ward was most efficatious against the angered spellcaster when the shapeshift wore off, and Venovel made her escape.

Soloed this as a 30 ret Pally with ordinary to decent gear. It was coming up orange in my quest log so I thought I could solo it pretty easy but the 36 mage mob guarding the final undead was a challenge and I died a couple of times.
My advice is to take her out first as you wont aggro the undead , heal up, then take on Kegan. Also, avoid any AoE abilities as they'll aggro Kegan, I found this out by using arcane torrent on the mage and pulling the undead too.
Dying is a &*!@# here because not only is it a long walk, but if you choose to rez at the spirit healer, you'll be in the middle of the 34+ level ogre area north of Tarren Mill which can be tricky to get out of, especially when rez sick.

As a level 30 rogue I could sap the warden, kill the quest mob and run away.

Solo'd as a level 30 subtlety rogue. All you have to do for the level 35 mob is stealth up the stairs until you reach the last set, sap the guy looking down the stairs and stealth past the other. Sap the level 36 caster next to him then ambush the level 35. You'll aggro the other mobs so just use evasion and keep hitting the level 35. Once he's dead just go down the stairs and vanish, then you're done.
