A discussion in another thread reminded me of something.

Just when does a final messenger release? Is it when the WarForged is actually DEAD or when they shut down? This came up twice while I was running Forgotten Forge and I ruled it was at shut down time but the rules seem to indicate when they are dead.

It is released when they are dead. However, for running the Forgotten Forge, if the PC's "shut down" an enemy warforged and intend to leave, have the messanger escape.
The messanger will make the PC's wonder what it is doing, where it is going, or whatever. And the Forgotten Forge is an introduction to Eberron, the messangers add flavor.
And also, they add some funny encounters, my party spent several action points and attacks trying to grapple or smash the messangers, it was pretty funny. Especially when one of them almost flipped off of the Bloody Bridge reaching for it.
