Day 18: 10_03_07

I took the Deep Run Tram to IronForge to meet Sweed and hand in a quest. We both flew to Darkshire, in DuskWood, to meet Sooper and ran through the Worden and Ogre areas to where Sooper was mining. We all ran to Sentinel Hill and then hearthed back to StormWind. Sooper made two gold keys and opened Sweed's lockbox and mine too. There wasn't much inside the boxes :( Sooper decided to go for lunch at the Inn, he said he was hungry for a rat kebob smoothered in Dwarven Mild cheese :) He's gonna get fat! ;)

Sweed and I took the Tram to IronForge and flew to the Arathi Refugee Point. We ran around for ages trying to find RavenHoldt Manor and then trying to get up into the hills behind the manor where there was a secluded pond, there was meant to be a guy there to talk with, but he had long since gone!

We ran back to SouthShore to meet Sooper and ran into the Guild Raid, there was lots of fighting going on. MageDraenei and Lennard joined our group. We ran up to the North trying to run to Scarlet Monastry. We got bogged down in some woods for ages trying to get to the road. There were many very high level monstrous bears, spiders and buzzards in the woods and undead creatures too :( A high level nightelf and his friend Richy helped us out to get to the road. We still had other problems with horde fighters and spiders but after what seemed like ages we finally got to the Monastry.

We did SM's library and Lenn and Sooper finished off the final boss. We managed to get through the library relatively easily. After the library we came back to the entrance way and I used my Scarlet key to open the door to the Armoury. The armoury was tough going especially towards the end. It was good XP though and Mage and Lenn levelled up with Sooper and Sweed close to levelling. I got an ok amount of XP but not as spectacular as in the earlier days ;) We all got killed in the last corridor before the final boss and so we decided to hearth to StormWind. The good news was that I made another 5 gold pieces tonight so my total horse fund stands at 80 gold. I am optimistic that I will make the required gold by level 40 ;)

Sweed went to sleep and Sooper went off to mine in Duskwood. So I decided that I would try to complete my warrior quest (Fire Hardened Mail). I only needed 1 more fang and then I would be able to give in the quest and get 6 things out of my bags to free up some space :)

I flew to Menethil Harbor and took the boat to Theramore. I knew it was going to be hard to get to the Desolace through StoneTalon Mountains and I didn't really want to run all the way to the south of the Barrens and through a Thousand Needles and then even further. I decided to take a flight to Astranner which lasted 14 minutes! I ran North West to the coast. At the coast I killed some strange creatures and got their heads for a quest (20 heads) this was at the Zoram Strand.

I swam around the coast of StoneTalon Mountains for along while. Eventually I climbed out of the sea and ran into Desolace - it seemed like a faster and easier way that the round about route I could have taken. Without a horse any long trip is a potentially tiring one! I ran to Niejel's Point which I had never been too before. I handed in a quest I had for there. I saw Starblood (from the guild) and he showed me where the flight path was :) Hooray! That is very good because now I can fly directly there and I don't need to mess around with all the walking. It will make completing quests there a great deal easier :)

I ran towards StoneTalon Mountains and into the Charred Vale the second dragon I killed had the fang I needed - hooray! I immediately hearthed back to StormWind and ran to the Dwarven District to give in the quest. I got the fire hardened mail which wasn't as strong as my old armour but after I had reinforced it with a heavy armour kit from Sweed it was very good. The best news is that the armour generates rage for me when I am fighting and so I can be a lot more poweful in battles now :)

It was time to sleep -_- ZZZZZzzzzz
