Thunder Bluff

Thunder Bluff is a quest for level 10-30. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 2,050 experience and money.

Description

We have a breakthrough! Our zombie specimens have given new insight into the nature of the Scourge's plague. They have born rotten, delicious fruit...

Take this box to Thunder Bluff. Inside is a head that is infected with the zombie plague, and something else we have devised -- an anti-plague. The two plagues battle within the zombie brain, and that brain is the key to a cure, I am certain of it.

Bring the box to my assistant, Apothecary Chaney. He attends Magatha Grimtotem in Thunder Bluff.

Found Apothecary Chaney on elder rise in Thunder Bluff inside a hut with Magatha Grimtotem. It was very anti-climatic.

The NPC you turn in the quest to is from The Hand of Vengeance, a WotLK faction fighting against the scourge.

Where you are sent to apparently depends on your character race, got sent to Silvermoon on my BE mage, and to TB on my Tauren druid.
The brain whispers to you while you carry it, for example:
Dual-plagued Brain whispers: Please! <Name>! Destroy me!
Dual-plagued Brain whispers: I have done such vile things...
Dual-plagued Brain whispers: ...killed loved ones... eaten them...
Dual-plagued Brain whispers: Give me your brain!
Dual-plagued Brain whispers: I must feed...

Dual-plagued Brain whispers: Please! <Name>! Destroy me!
Dual-plagued Brain whispers: Let the torture end!
Dual-plagued Brain whispers: Show mercy, <Name>! Give me peace!

Dual-plagued Brain whispers: [Zombie] .. .... . brains .... .... ..... .. ... ..... ..

Dual-plagued Brain whispers: My King knows of you. He wants to see you...
Couldn't get it to whisper to me while I was a Zombie, so I can't tell whether the [Zombie] part actually has meaning.
PS: Lore hint: In e.g. Silvermoon and Orgrimmar the turnin NPCs are near the Boss leaders, but in Thunder Bluff, it is in Magatha's tent... WTB more Grimtotem lore, though I despise them, they offer a really nice insight to the "dark side" of the Tauren. A dark-skinned Tauren will also be my choice for a DK.
