Objectives

Observe the  [Crimson Lasher] drinking from 6 Ember Pools. Ember Pools are created by fighting Emberspit Scorpions.

• Help the Crimson Lasher Drink from Ember Pools x6

Description

I've been making progress in my research, <name>. Based on what we've witnessed in the local flora, it's quite possible that your Lasher also accepts superheated liquids as a principal source of nutrition.

I'd like you to help me with a little experiment. The Emberspit Scorpions that inhabit the Magma Springs to the north spew out burning pools of fire during combat.

Take the Lasher and observe his reaction to the scorpions' Ember Pools.

Rewards

You will receive: [Mark of the World Tree] x2 and 9 40

Progress

I would have gone to observe the Lasher myself, but the battle is just so...violent!

Completion

Did it work? So my theory was correct?

Gains

You will receive:

• 69400 XP (or 16 54 at max level)
• +250 reputation with Guardians of Hyjal

Notes

Head north into the Ashen Fields and the Magma Springs. Enter combat with Emberspit Scorpions, who have two abilities outside of basic melee:

• Fireball 40 yd range — Inflicts Fire damage to an enemy. 3 sec cast. Interruptible. Hits for 8000-9300 Fire.
• Ember Pool 5-45 yd range — Spits a bolt of ember fire at an enemy target's location, leaving an Ember Pool that damages any units standing on it. 3 sec cast. Uninterruptible.

The Crimson Lasher helps out, by tossing heals on occasion:

• Rejuvenation 40 yd range — Heals an ally every 3 sec. for 12 sec. 3 sec cast. Heals for ~514 Nature

The objective is thus to get the scorpion to cast Ember Pools but not die in the process. The Rejuv helps, but not much. The scorpion will only cast Ember Pool when another is not up. It will spawn another upon death. After a few Ember Pools, or as soon as health is becoming an issue, kill the scorpion, get out of combat, heal up, then find another.
