Help with Ul'dah Quest

I have just started playing the game again and I started doing the first quest sands of something and when I go into the stage room where the 3 guys try and attack the guy that was hiding in the mine I am supposed to show this girl emotes to stop them....I however got DC'd right in the middle of the quest and was unable to complete it...when I logged back in she would not do anything but stand there and tell me that I forgot....I tried every emote and nothing worked so I left the instance....Now she is gone and I cannot go any further in the quest...

Any help?

Court in the Sands iirc. Have you tried logging off on your own power (not D/C'ing) and logging back in to re-attempt the quest? If so, you might be able to abandon the quest and redo it.

I cannot abandon the quest...there is no option to do that...unless someone else knows how to....

I've tried logging many times...

Silly thought, but the instance is started by speaking to the hyur lady behind the counter, isn't it? It might be restartable that way.

Good luck!
