Day 77: 07_05_07


I travelled to FeatherMoon Stronghold, always quite a trip from StormWind. I met Sweed and Mwihaki there as we were going to go into 'Dire Maul' in Feralas. We picked up a few quests in the elven island village and then took the boat to the mainland and rode to 'Dire Maul'. It was going to be my first time into Dire Maul, I had riding past the entrance before but never been in. You tend to keep away from a place when you here the screams and howling emanating from within it's walls :( I was expecting that we would get a dire mauling from the creatures inside.

First we entered Dire Maul with Mwihaki and her BlackBerry. We crept in avoiding the ogres and the packs of hunting dogs. Dire Maul was like a huge ruin of a once grand civilisation, what a massive place! We entered the eastern part of Dire Maul and began to fight towards Lethtendris (a blood elf we needed to find for a quest). We fought huge tree monsters (warwood crushers) and smaller tree and flower monsters. We also began to hunt down an imp after he started to taunt us but he was very fast and difficult to keep up with. We got a pidgeon message from Areldritch and Desuetado saying that they would like to join us in Dire Maul. Mwihaki generated a portal through with they could be summoned and they joined us.


Arel and Des were both wearing hats. Arel had a fancy riding outfit which he quickly changed!

We all fought our way through Dire Maul which got harder and harder. The ogres got bigger and bigger and we started to encounter DoomGuard Minions. We found Lethendris and beat her to get the web elements she held, we needed them for a quest. We also managed to catch up with the pesky Imp, we taunted him and made him cry and then he attacked us with his friends, the imp grew to a large size but we managed to defeat him. We found that the Imp was holding a 'crystal key' that would give us access to another part of Dire Maul and so we took it and made our way there. Mwihaki was looking for a place to buy a pattern from that she needed and we helped here to look. We thought that we had got the seller who was chained up and surrounded by DoomGuard Minions with an evil eye floating around the area, but it wasn't him. Mwuhaki did find the pattern seller later in the Dire Maul library.


Sweed was hungry so he HS to SW. Des HS and Arel made a portal and I went through it with him to SW. I am not sure what Mwi did after we left! After spending sometime in StormWind at the AH, repairer, the bank and the shops I travelled back to Kalimdor and to Azshara and then rode to Forest Song in the North East of AshenVale to give in a quest. I rode into Felwood and completed some quests for the bears there, giving feathers and delivering messages. Then I flew to FeatherMoon Stronghold to give in the Blood Elf quest.
I then flew North again and over to Eversong in WinterSpring. I set about finding some bears that needed to be exterminated for a quest. I had killed all that I needed and as I was riding out I met Eva. I helped her to get the rest of the bears that she needed too. We rode to Saifa to give in the quest near the entrance to the bear tunnel. I think that all of Saifa's enemies must have mostly been killed by now! Well I hope so! Upon completing this quest I found that I had gained enough reputation with Saifa that his bear troops didn't try to attack me in the tunnel to Felwood and Moonglade!


I said Goodnight to Eva and HS to SW. I flew to Ironforge and rode out into Dun Morogh. I was looking for Sweed's friend Sweedle! I met Sweedle in the snow just off the road. He asked me for some help to kill some baddies. It was fun to help as it was so easy to kill the baddies. I could kill them with a single stroke of my sword. After a while it was time to sleep and I went to sleep in a little inn in Kharanos just outside IronForge.
