Hiding In Plain Sight
Assassinate the infiltrating homunculi.
Description
Greetings, Shadowblade. I hope you are not too upset that I began without you, I have a bit of trouble controlling myself around the mindless undead. Yes, you heard me right. Taerir, the very Taerir that has been standing in the Hall of Shadows for many months now, was the undead pawn of a dreadlord. And there are more of them - in our cities, rising through the ranks of the aristocracy, growing in power and influence, and nearly undetectable.

You can pickpocket Krosky. He gives you a key that takes away his damage reduction buff. :)
This chain involves going into each of the Horde cities (Alliance if you're Horde) and killing an NPC in there. None of your Marks are very tough on their own, but there are of course guards, NPCs, and potentially players that can and will aggro. Your best plan of action for each of them is to burst down the marked target and then vanish and not bother with the other NPCs if possible. For this reason, I believe the quest is much easier to do as Sin or Sub.
Silvermoon - Tercin Shivenllher patrols around Silvermoon with a guard that can see stealth. I distracted the guard so they would get separated and pulled him on his own. At one point he did yell for help and aggro both his original guard and other nearly NPCs but he was already nearly dead at that point. Cake.
Undercity - Mistress Matilda is upstairs in the Rogue's quarter. Use a flying mount to get up there, and watch for flying bats that can see stealth. Wait stealthed on the stairs between the two large groups for her to patrol in the middle and pull her to try to avoid getting 4958740587 adds, even though she will call for help. Her buddies do a lot of damage. I recommend just hitting cloak and evasion immediately after you pull or they will burst you down fast. The runback to UC as Alliance is super long and annoying too so you ideally want to get her in one shot if you can.
Thunder Bluff - Kroksy the Impregnable is centre of the city in the highest area by an unlit bonfire. He has 99% physical damage reduction so you will definitely want to be assassination spec for the poison/bleed damage to burst him down. Like the others, he will call for help at some point but by the time they ran over he was dead and I had vanished.
Orgrimmar - Auctioneer Xifa is an auctioneer in the Valley of Strength AH (far right one) so this mark is very well guarded by both guards and by players who you might have managed to avoid thus far. I managed to kill him before I was massacred by 9457048574 guards so it's definitely doable but expect to need to corpse run after.
After you're all done you have a sweet Shadowblade's Murderous Omen!
