Did for that Harpy bitch and a bunch of her friends this morning. Made level 22. Got ta letter to deliver to Jin'Zil from Darsok Swiftdagger when I gave him Bloodfeather's head. Nothing to stop mr now from getting to the Stonetalon Mountains, finally. Wednesday poker night tonight. I'll listen in on the heavy crew as they hit the Ramparts. Kick ass, guys!

They won't be forgetting the name of Ratshag in Ashenvale or the Stonetalons anytime soon. Last night I finished off the Venture Company's operations in the Windshear Crag and did for the local boss, Genenzo Wrenchwistle. I also pretty much wiped out a Cenarius cult operating in the area and brought back the head of the top fuhgger, a centaur named Ordanus. I had to fight my way past a ton of druids to the top off his treehouse, and his bodyguards were a bunch of tough mutherhumpers. They stomped me pretty good, but in the end they couldn't stop me.
I gave up trying to find the last pages of that stupid manual and just had my boy Friday pick up copies at the auction house and mail them to me. Way easier than killing every damn thing in the forest and cutting it open to see if ate Page 7.
Went back down to that dwarf base in the Southern Barrens. That sad bugger Gann was still pissed off about their strip mining and blasting in his precious holy spot, so he asked me to help him blow up their flying machine gizmo. Well, actually, he asked me to do it for him. So I go rip through their headquarters and get the stuff he needed to make a bomb, then I went back in and blew it to pieces. Easy as choppin' bunnies.
I also finally tracked down that surfer chick Mahren Skyseer. She had a problem - some sea monster thing was screwing up her attempt to catch the perfect wave - so I swam out there and killed it and brought her it's heart. Afterwards she showed her appreciation by making sure everything that needed it was properly greased and polished. Plus she gave me a really cool shield.
That's all for now. I think it's time to find new places to kill things. Nothing left around here.
...It must be Blood Elves.
I went back to the Ghostlands the other day and partnered Bashaen, Bethsheba, and Ratal. I was most pleased to see that Bethsheba was using the two-handed sword I had forged for her. We spent several hours slaughtering trolls. Apparently these were the kind who didn't "Stay away from the da VooDoo, mon", so it was okay to kill them.
Later in the day I went back to the Stonetalons and met a BE hunter who called himself ViperVenom. Not a member of our guild but a decent fellow nonetheless. Together we took out enough harpies in the Charred Vale to make a big pot of stew.
I'm running out of jobs to do in the Stonetalons, so I did a little
roaming. Delivered some messages to the Great Lift and Freewind Post in
the Thousand Needles,
south of the Barrens. Then I caught a hippogryph flight north to
Ashenvale. I don't mind saying that that places freaked me out the
first time I was there. After the wide open spaces of Durotar and the
Barrens, the thought of giant spiders and who-knows-what hunting you in
all those trees was intimidating. But now I'm older and have seen more
of the world and have some way better gear, and now it's the
who-knows-whats in the trees that need to be afraid of me.
I hooked up with Aelion, one of the bright young stars in the guild, and we went to town last night. First we killed a bunch of Silithids down at the Field of Giants so I could take their eggs back to some freaky troll witch-doctor at the Crossroads. Then we took on the biggest-ass kodo fuhggers I've ever seen. Got stomped on a bit, but it was good fun. Then back to work, this time raising hell at a dwarf mine called Bael Modan. Check out my flashy new shoulder armor - took it off a dwarf after putting my axe through his skull. I'll probably go back there sometime - it was fun. Finally we went over to a Razormane camp and killed a bunch of piggies so we could take some of their funky weapons back to Camp Taurajo. A most productive romp in the plains.
I also worked on my blacksmithing craft. Made a bunch of armor pieces
for sale, but also worked on a couple of swords for the guild. A
two-handed one for Bethsheba and a real nice shortsword for Aelion. I
enjoy my time at the forge almost as much as like making the quillboar
piggies sqeal.
Turns out there's a sea monster on the bottom of the pool in the Lushwater Oasis. I'm swimming near the bottom, looking for some tin to mine, when the fuhgger bites me! Bitch! I'm used to the turtles there, they're easy to deal with, but this thing was in a whole 'nother league. I got my ass outta there. But I'll be back, and next time I'll be ready for her.
So there I am, running down the Gold Road in the Barrens, minding me own business. When suddenly there's 3 Alliance outriders, all Level 25 Elites on mounts. Bang, I'm dead. I hate being dead. Fuhgin Alliance.
Never did make it to the Stonetalons, but I did kill a bunch of piggies and thundersnouts. That felt good.
