Quest text

Now that I have the spiders' venom, I'd like some live specimens to study. Unfortunately, capturing a living, giant spider is more than I can ask of you, young your class. And a giant spider is more than I could handle myself!

But if you can find an unhatched egg, then delivering specimens will be much easier, and I can then arrange for the unhatched spiders to be contained.

There must be a nest deep in the Shadowthread Cave. Please, search for an egg in the nest and return it to me.

Progress

Have you been inside the Shadowthread Cave, your name? Did you find a spider egg?

Completion

Ah, very good. I will have this egg and the venom transported to Darnassus, then return there when my studies are done here. I expect to find out a great deal from these specimens, your name. You have been a great help to me.
