World of Warcraft®

One final flick of the scalpel and the basilisk's eye flew out of its socket with a satisfying "POP!"

Knowles clapped his hands eagerly. "This'un's a'goin' long, Boxxy!"

Almost immediately, a long, slimy tongue lashed out of the dusty crate by the Forsaken's feet. It daintily picked the eye out of the air and disappeared back inside.

Knowles carved another angry tally mark in Boxxy's lid and grumbled: "The heck's that old orc even want with all them eyes anyway?" Then he shouldered his bloody shovel and trudged off to find another victim, the crate close at his heels.

"An' why's he always a'pickin' on me? Ain't like we can't use all'a them bodies I dug up."

Later, Knowles marched through the slums of Shattrath's Lower City on his way to his meeting with Arcanist Adyria. A sporeling refugee tried to sidle up to him as he passed through a throng of people, but a warning growl from Boxxy sent her running.

"'preciate it, Boxxy. Bet she were after them eyes..."

Finally, he found the Arcanist. "Got a delivery, ma'am. From Headmaster Oskor. Where'd y'all want it?"

She motioned toward a chest behind her, and Knowles bent to inspect it. "Well, alright, but I don' reckon them're all gonna fit in there."

He snapped his fingers, and the crate began to cough and retch, before finally disgorging a flood of basilisk eyes that quickly filled the chest as well as the floor around their feet.

Arcanist Adryia gathered up her skirts and took a step back. She clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Lovely. though hardly a drop in the bucket. The Seer shall require much, much more for his elixirs.

A scowl crossed Knowles' face. "About how much more, y'all reckon?"

She waved a hand idly. "Say... seven hundred?"

The Forsaken shook his head. "Better make it seven hundred an' fifty, or I won' never hear the end of it."

Not long after, crudely-written signs began to be posted around Horde and neutral cities. A number of them mysteriously made their way into Alliance settlements, as well.

Howdy y'all.
I'm a'buyin' basilisk eyes, so I don' hafta find 'em all myself. (Don' ask. Long story about this angry old orc and some medical cadavers. For medicine an' healin' an' whatnot.)

Annnyhow, I'm a'willin' to pay TWO WHOLE GOLD fer every eye. But wait, I ain't done yet.

I'm also a'willin' to pay y'all TWO HUNDRED FIFTY GOLD if y'all feel like a'bringin' me ONE HUNDRED eyes at a time.

An' if that ain't enough--Well, look, I'm a'gettin' pretty darn desperate here. The Headmaster still needs, like, seven-hundred somethin' of them eyes. I swear we can work somethin' out.

Y'all can just send them eyes to me over Stonetalon way. Them AAMSlins know the place, I reckon.

Come on an' help a poor feller out.

Da Doctas School of Blah Blah Blah Y'all Know the Rest.

((Oskor is currently in the middle of farming Dampscale Basilisk Eyes in order to make the switch from Aldor to Scryers reputation and still needs another ~750 of them, but my farming time has been limited this summer.

If anyone still has any stashed away in the back of your personal or guild banks (or feels like farming some), I'm willing to offer a starting bounty at 2g/eye, or 250g/stack of 100. If you've got another offer, I'm very willing to negotiate.

Eyes can be mailed COD to me, or I'm sure the AAMS wouldn't mind a job or two.))

Only need 648 more now, y'all.

I'll look in my alt bank and see if I have any.

**Doesn't look like I have any atm. I'll pass the word though**

((Kez happens to be leveling through Terrokar right now. I'll keep...err... an eye out.))

Dean's really a'riding my !@# here.

How's four gold an eye sound?

I am on it sir, while I farm for ore I will be akillin' them that basilisks for ya!

Lookin' like they only want another 432 eyes.

Remember, 4 gold an eye. And say 500g, if y'all send me 100.

Knowles, I think I have some I'll give you. Let me check alts.

Also a note, if Knowles isn't online and you have some for him you can hit members of Terra Incognita Alliance side up to get a hold of me on Kordrion and I will pay you and get them to him.

Edit: Figured that clarification should probably be in there somewhere *Coughs*

Edit 2!: COD works as well

376 now, y'all.
