A Recipe For Death

Arthas's numbers are overwhelming. But with a New Plague we could eradicate both the Scourge Army and the Human infestation once and for all. My studies have proven that spider blood combined with a toxin derived from a grizzled bear heart results in a deadly elixir. Collect samples from the spiders in the Skittering Dark to the northwest and from the bears wandering throughout Silverpine Forest. Deliver the reagents to Master Apothecary Faranell of the Royal Apothecary Society in the Undercity.

How good of Apothecary Renferrel to send you to me, <name>. These samples will indeed prove useful to the cause. I will begin studying their toxic and contaminable properties at once.

You can be of further service to the Royal Apothecary Society, <name>. When Arugal cast his wretched magic on the forest, he cursed one of our most promising members, Apothecary Berard. Now a mindless servant of Arugal, Berard is useless to us. But his findings might prove to be of worth. He was studying an ancient plague that killed off all the aquatic life in Lake Lordamere ages ago. Retrieve Berard's Journal from his study in the Pyrewood Village Inn and take it to Apothecary Renferrel.

Apothecary Berard's journal! Why you are quite brave, <name>. Now let's see what Berard was up to before he went mad. . .

According to Berard's Journal the moss from Lake Skulkers and Creepers might prove useful for our quest to brew a new plague. Those beasts dwell on the islands in Lake Lordamere to the east. He also mentions a very rare Hardened Tumor that he discovered on a Vile Fin murloc. Apparently the tumor is so rare Berard was only able to obtain one. Collect samples of the moss as well as the rare hardened tumor and take them to Master Apothecary Faranell in the Undercity.

Such a blow to the Royal Apothecary Society to lose Berard. But through your hard work and Apothecary Renferrel's diligent research Berard's studies will still be useful to The Dark Lady's plight. We are on the cusp of something great here, <name>. If you were not so skilled in the ways of combat I would try to recruit you for membership in the Society.
