A Little Slime Goes a Long Way

But the thing I've studied most is ooze. I know it sounds odd, but they're all over! I helped a lady in Menethil find her bag not too long ago--it was eaten by oozes. I've seen members of the Royal Apothecary Society from Undercity collecting samples of the stuff. I want to know why! Where does it come from? I've heard of more in Felwood. What I need are samples of the oozes there so I can further my research. I'll give you containers, you use them to collect a sample from the deceased creatures.

Amazing results, <name>! You got close enough to take a sample of the corrupted things, and managed to look no worse for wear! Thank you. Oh, these samples will be perfect. I can't wait to start testing on them. If I'm right, I could be one of the Explorers' Leagues greatest scientists! That'll prove to all the dwarves that it wasn't a mistake to allow us gnomes into Ironforge after the Gnomeregan incident.

I'm going to need more samples, <name>. But--and I don't know how to put this--they have to be pure samples. I know, I know. "What does 'pure' mean, Laris?" I'm not sure. I do know that these are corrupt... just like Felwood. Which is what makes my realization so important. The oozes seem to adapt... to take on the aspects of the area they're in. I'll need to find samples that haven't been polluted. But where? Where?! Bah! <name>, take these containers just in case you find any on your own.

You've found it? <name>, you are a treasure unto yourself. Your dedication and aid has been magnificent and I could not possibly thank you enough. Please, take this for your troubles. I have some work to do, but I'm sure, if you come back at a later time, I'll have need of your services again. Thank you. Thank you so much.
