Walkthrough
The missing patrol can be found in a small crack on the southwest corner of the Ravenheart Gloom. There are about four groups of Torment Demons along the way. If the party is accustomed to being in the Ravenheart Gloom, they should have no problems dispatching them.

When the party reaches the Warden of Whispers, a torrent of demons will be unleashed upon them. As soon as a party member enters the aggro circle of the Warden, the assault will begin, therefore, it is recommended that if the party is going to set up their defensive positions, they should not talk to the Warden or come close enough to him.

The approaching demon horde will be massive. No fewer than 10 waves (some as small as three, some as large as six) assault the party furiously. It is advised that the party tanks hold position around the little bend that leads into the crack where the patrol is hiding, as such forcing enemies to be stuck in them as they try to go around the corner to get to softer targets. The demons have an array of skills that can counter many defensive approaches such as heavy enchantment removal and stance breaking.
