After much testing, the Prophet of Bertoxxulous has divined a particularly interesting property of the Sarnak blood - it has the potential ability to resist the Green Mist. Much testing will be required on races affected by the Green Mist, however. Zek has a particularly large portion of orcs that could be affected, yet are strong enough that they would be able to resist the effect if the decaying mist isn't significant enough to be useful. I've also been tasked to test a potential vaccine for the decaying mist so that it might shield the followers of Bertoxxulous when they put their decaying mist into action.
Stage 1
Hrath has given me a vial containing a prototype of the decaying mist he has concocted and instructed me to spray several Deathfist Orcs from the Orcish Wastes with the concoction to test its lethality. In order to get close enough to the orcs without raising suspicion, Hrath also gave me an illusion which should help significantly.
Start: | I need to test the miasma on several orcish test subjects. |
---|
Complete: | I sprayed an orcish test subject with the miasma. |
---|
The decaying mist prototype works quite well! All the test subjects were killed instantaneously after I sprayed them.Stage 2
Now I must first inject a few orcish test subjects with the potential vaccine and then try administering the decaying mist prototype to see if the orc has become immune to Hrath's potion.
Start: | I need to inject an orcish test subjects with the potential vaccine. |
---|
Complete: | I administered the vaccine. |
---|
Start: | Now that I have injected the test subject, I must quickly spray him with the decaying mist spray. |
---|
Complete: | The test subject still died despite being inoculated. |
---|
Start: | I need to inject an orcish test subject with the potential vaccine. |
---|
Complete: | I administered the vaccine. |
---|
Start: | Now that I have injected the test subject, I must quickly spray him with the decaying mist spray. |
---|
Complete: | The test subject still died despite being inoculated. |
---|
Start: | I need to inject an orcish test subject with the potential vaccine. |
---|
Complete: | I administered the vaccine. |
---|
Start: | Now that I have injected the test subject, I must quickly spray him with the decaying mist spray. |
---|
Complete: | The test subject still died despite being inoculated. |
---|
The potential vaccine failed to inoculate the orcish test subjects.Stage 3
The potential vaccine has proved to be ineffective on the orcs as they are still succumbing to the decaying mist. I need to report my findings to Hrath using the Gem of the Simulacre.
Start: | I need to use the Gem of the Simulacre to summon Hrath's projection. |
---|
Complete: | I successfully summoned a projection of Hrath Everstill and reported my research. |
---|
I've contacted Hrath using the Gem of the Simulacre. He has proposed adding a botanic agent to the potential vaccine.Stage 4
Hrath has suggested that I track down a Green Hood Herbalist in the Orcish Wastes. They might have the efflorescent serum I need to create a different type of antidote.
Start: | I need to procure some efflorescent serum. |
---|
Complete: | I procured some efflorescent serum. |
---|
Start: | I need to examine the serum and combine it with the antidote. |
---|
Complete: | I examined the serum and added it to the antidote. |
---|
I acquired the efflorescent serum from a Green Hood herbalist.Stage 5
I need to inject a test subject with the new vaccine and then test its effectiveness on the decaying mist.
Start: | I need to test this new vaccine on a Deathfist orc. |
---|
Complete: | I injected an orcish test subject with the new vaccine. |
---|
Start: | I need to use the last remaining dose of decaying mist on the inoculated orc. |
---|
Complete: | The vaccine worked! |
---|
The vaccine has proved to be effective at stopping the effects of the decaying mist.Stage 6
The test is complete. We now have both an effective miasma and vaccine. I need to speak with Hrath Everstill in Timorous Deep immediately.
Start: | I need to speak with Hrath Everstill. |
---|
Complete: | I spoke with Hrath Everstill. |
---|
I reported back to Hrath Everstill. Now that a proper antidote has been found to shield the followers of Bertoxxulous, they can begin plans to put their decaying mist into action.
