Mission: Forsaken Intel

Quest 4 of 4 in the Halgrind Investigation Chain (Finale)
Alliance • Howling Fjord • Level 71 • Westguard Keep
Deliver the Apothecary's Package to Peppy Wrongnozzle at the bar inside the Westguard Keep inn.
Ride northwest from Ember Spear Tower back to Westguard Keep. Enter the inn and find Peppy Wrongnozzle at the bar at (30, 41). She's a gnome, so look down near the bar stools. Simple delivery, no combat. Fair warning: Peppy is Westguard's only alchemist, she's thoroughly drunk, and she immediately starts mixing Forsaken plague samples with tavern rotgut. She slurs every word and calls it "tinkering." She's about to create something very wrong by accident.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Westguard's plague expert was three sheets to the wind and adding tavern alcohol to Forsaken bioweapons. Peppy popped the seal before Vikstone could object and started mixing by instinct rather than precision. War is full of moments that inspire confidence. This was not one of them.

“Right, so I think you should get this stuff over to Peppy Wrongnozzle back at the keep. She’s something of an amateur alchemist, but she’s the only one we’ve got. One thing about Peppy; she does love her drink. So, you’ll likely find her at the tavern ‘soaking up the atmosphere’. I’m sure she’ll know what to do.”

-Scout Knowles

Finding Peppy

Peppy Wrongnozzle is a gnome sitting at the bar inside the Westguard Keep inn. She’s small and easy to miss if you’re looking at human eye level. Look down near the bar stools.

Scout Knowles warns you about her habits:

“One thing about Peppy; she does love her drink. So, you’ll likely find her at the tavern ‘soaking up the atmosphere’.”

 

Story Context

Scout Knowles sends you to the keep’s only alchemist with the plague samples you recovered from the slain Forsaken apothecary:

“Right, so I think you should get this stuff over to Peppy Wrongnozzle back at the keep. She’s something of an amateur alchemist, but she’s the only one we’ve got.”

When you arrive, Peppy is already tipsy but excited to examine the samples:

“Oh… hey, that’sh different! Okay, let me shee that shtuff. I jusht love tinkering with alchemy!”

She immediately starts mixing:

“Interesting, interesting… here, I think I know jusht what to do. A little mixing of that with the jusht the right amount of thish. You know, I think a little dash of this rotgut will help, too …hic!”

This sets up the disastrous experiment in the next quest, where Peppy’s drunken “vaccine” accidentally perfects the Forsaken plague.

“Right, so I think you should get this stuff over to Peppy Wrongnozzle back at the keep.” Knowles handed me the sealed package. “She’s something of an amateur alchemist, but she’s the only one we’ve got. One thing about Peppy: she does love her drink. So, you’ll likely find her at the tavern ‘soaking up the atmosphere.'”

The Westguard Inn was warm and loud, and I found Peppy at the bar, a gnome barely visible over the counter edge, surrounded by empty tankards. She turned at my approach, eyes not quite focusing.

“Oh… hey, that’sh different!” She reached for the package with unsteady hands. “Okay, let me shee that shtuff. I jusht love tinkering with alchemy!”

She popped the seal before I could object, peering inside with the curiosity of the thoroughly inebriated.

“Interesting, interesting… here, I think I know jusht what to do. A little mixing of that with jusht the right amount of thish.” She pulled vials from her pouches. “You know, I think a little dash of this rotgut will help, too… hic!”

Our plague expert was three sheets to the wind and adding tavern alcohol to Forsaken bioweapons.

 

Peppy had mixed something she called a vaccine and she wanted it tested on the vrykul prisoner in the basement, insisting Absholutely… Thish Will Work!
