Objectives
Collect Contaminated Specimens from pools of Gaseous Fel around the western coast of Highmountain.
Description
My companion has fallen terribly ill, as you can see.
He must have caught whatever these taurens had. Their entire camp has been wiped out!
It appears to be fel in origin, and impervious to all known treatments.
I've been working tirelessly to find a cure, but I don't think Roland here has much time left.
I could use an extra hand. Some samples from the source should speed things up.
Just be sure to avoid direct contact with the contagion. Levitate should be helpful.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 19 40
- 16,450 XP
Progress
Do you have the samples I've requested?
Completion
I hope you handled these samples with care, <name>. I wouldn't forgive myself if I was responsible for getting the High Priest sick.
Notes
Look for areas contaminated by fel magic in the Blind Marshlands. Use 
[Levitate] and look for Fel Contagions (small green globs) that are located within those contamination circles. Walking into the fel area without levitating causes the character to be Burning.
