Sting of the Scorpid
Sting of the Scorpid is an early trial assigned by Gornek to Horde recruits at the Den in the Valley of Trials. Novices are challenged to hunt venomous scorpid workers northwest of camp and return ten tails to prove their combat readiness. The task serves as a vital lesson in surviving battlefield hazards and respecting even the smallest adversaries.
Quest text
Powerful warrior and awkward novice alike have fallen to the venomous sting of the scorpid. You will find large numbers of scorpids northwest of here. Bring me ten of their tails as proof of your prowess in battle.
The antidote for their sting is actually made from venom extracted from their stingers. We keep large quantities of antidote for scorpid venom on hand to heal young bloods just like you...
But I'm sure you won't be needing any of that, will you?
Progress
The carapace of a scorpid isn't so thick that the strength of a determined warrior will be deterred. Strike strongly and without doubt, and the scorpids should prove easy prey.
Completion
Show the words
There is an important lesson that you must take away from fighting scorpids. The smallest or largest of opponents can still send you to your doom. In fierce combat, any number of things can prove your downfall.
I have no more to teach you, friend. You have done well, and I will watch your progress with interest.
