Broken Skulls

2005-09-07T00:19:00.000-07:00

I headed South from Hammerfall where I had seen some of the trolls whose heads I needed to place on Nizels staff. As it happened someone else had asked me to clear these out anyway so I thought I could kill 2 birds with one lightening bold. How wrong can you be these strange trolls skulls wouldn’t stay on my staff, no matter what I tried, through the eye socket through the nose, piercing the skull – all failed. I eventually came to the conclusion that there is some sort of flaw in these trolls something that has made there skulls brittle. Maybe this is why they have left the true path defined by Sen’Jin.
In the same area were some Ogres, big buggers they were and I needed all my skills to bring them down and 2 were just too much so I had to bring them down one at a time. Someone had also asked me to clear these out of the area which I duly did, the warriors unusually more tricky than the spellcasters (those 2 headed ones I mentioned yesterday). Going to rest up for a little while before my next foray, I really need to get into Stormgarde there are many quests I need to complete in there.

I don’t eat Night Elves I am not vegetarian!

Arathi

2005-09-06T01:09:00.000-07:00

In Arathi Heights there are many of the same incursions I have seen elsewhere in the world, it truly saddens my heart that there are few havens from the alliance scums influence. I have been hunting Raptors again, these no larger than those in Stranglethorne Vale but their heart was required and this proved difficult to extract whole even for a skilled skinner like myself. I have a task or two to do in Stormhaven, unfortunately there is a lot of Alliance activity in the same place so I will have to leave this for another day or when I can get more of my brethren together. A phenomena I had seldom come across before were Ogres, these large brutes make a real mess of armour and I have had to have it repaired many times. But you know what they say the bigger they are the harder they fall and these proved not much challenge. There was an unusual variant of Ogre that I have not seen, it had 2 heads which seemed to be continuously arguing which made it easy to distract, it just goes to prove that sometimes 2 heads aren’t better than 1.

A tale of much sorrow.

The wellspring trolls once a respected tribe have turned against the light. I have been ordered by the elders to teach these wayward trolls the error of their ways, tonight this will be my task. It needs to be a hard lesson as they have transgressed sorely. It has been decided that I will take 20 of their skills and using Nizels spear place them in the centre of their village. Having no heads should teach them a lesson!

Blessings of Sen'Jin

Tigers, Panthers, Raptors

2005-08-25T09:46:00.000-07:00

Its been a while since my last report, I have spent much time in Stranglethorn Vale. The place crawls with Alliance scum, they are like fleas on a procupine. So I head to Nessingway as I have heard that there are many jobs to do there. On my way I spy a panther what grace they have, prowling through the jungle, their black silky fur shining link gold in the humid afternoon sun. A couple of lightning bolts and a fire shock then finished off with the trusty hammer to the head and the panthers a smoking pulverized ruin, not much left to skin either bah. Well there is planty of tiger and panther hunting to do along with some raptors in Nessingway and I spend the next couple of days lightning bolting, frost/fire/earth blasting these various dinezens till they are as scarce as Night Elf scum in Orgrimmer. These prove easy money the only problem being tripping over dead Gnomes who litter the place. So of to Orgrimmer to gain my latest set of blessings from Sen'Jin. Having arrived there by Zeppelin I decided to visit the Auction House to see what was happening and I managed to get a new Shield bigger and lighter than the old one which I'm looking forward to squashing Dwarves with.

Aaaaaaaarrgghh For the Horde!

Ah the sweet smell of the jungle.

2005-08-16T09:31:00.001-07:00

The wiseones deemed that I was worthy to be taught more in the ways of the spirit so I took flight to Thunderbuff to absorb their knowledge. I have some deliveries to make in Ratchet and Stranglethorn so I decided to head to Booty Bay, I hot sweaty sesspit of a place run by goblins who don't seem to mind such surroundings. After making my deliveries I headed off to Grol'Dum camp as I had heard that there are troubles there that I may be able to help out with. Sure enough there were some raptors to kill and a tribe of BloodScalp scum trolls, nearlly as bad as the Alliance. The raptors though no larger than those in The Barrens were far quicker and proved not to be the easy kills I was hoping for. Also there were many Alliance scum in the area, I saw one in the distance, a druid who I decided to leave alone whilst I dealt with the raptor threat. Next thing I know he has snuck up on my and tries to stab me in the back, fortunately I am wise to these sneaky tricks of the Alliance scum and manage to hol my own in the ensuing fight, then some other Horde brethren turned up and finished him off. Some little while later the same druid turned up with some more Alliance Scum and I retreat to the village as I am far outnumbered, not without taking a bit of a beating.
I try somewhere a little quieter to finish off the Raptors after that and come across a Dwarf scum in the same area who I dispatch with ease before completing my task. On to the bloodscalp who are still the cowardly scum that my mother used to tell me stories of when I was younger. Unfortunately this area seems to be a haven for Alliance Rogues several of whom attacked me from behind whilst I was already fighting, never ones for an honest fight these Alliance Rogue scum. Let it be known rogues will die on sight now - no more Mr Nice Troll!

My Sen'Jins spirit spit on all Alliance Rogue scum...splatt

Desolote in Desolace

2005-08-10T09:49:00.000-07:00

Another dreary day of bright sunshine dawns over Shadowprey Village, what a cursed place this is! There were a few jobs round the coast to do and a few up with the kolkar so I decided to do the kolkar quests first. Having enquired exactly what is required I must admit that it doesn't sit too well with me, they want me to befriend one of the misbegotten kolkar tribes. I would think it'were a task more suited to those sneaky Rogue types than myself but the elders say this is a task I should do - so be it. I decide to ally (the word makes my blood boil) with the Margram so to improve my standing I by killing the Gelkis. this proceeds reasonably well except when some passing ally (the Gelkis are next to a road) decides to attack me when I am understrength after battling a Kolkar or 3. When returning from one such encounter to destroy the sneaky alliance, may there manhoods shrivel, scum he runs away, what cowards these alliance are, not interested in a fair fight.

Eventually I consider I have killed enough Gelt to appease the Margrams elder and I go to see him. He has the afront to require further proof of my loyalty, I nearlly struck him down then and there, but mastered my initial instincts with the knowledge I would be able to bring down the whole of the tribe. He wants me to collect some crystals from the Gelkis which I do in short order discovering in the process how much more powerful I am using totems, I was having trouble defeating there warlocks until then. I return with the crystals in short order then and the scurvy scum needs another task doing - he wanst some human (scum) practice dummy, where I will get one of those I know not!

Till the next time, For the Horde!

Time to move on

2005-08-03T00:18:00.000-07:00

Walked to the Shimmering Flats, a terribly barren place, I find it an uncomfortable place being able to see so far after the jungles of home. Still it is good to get used to as I will be heading to Desolace soon. Completed some small jobs I had started for the strange goblin creatures. Strangely Alliance scum free, none of the sneaking up from behind I had last time I was there.
On completion I decided to go to Thunderbuff to see if I have gained enough wisdom to learn so more of the Elders wisdom. On passing through Freewind Post I mentioned I was heading for Desolace and somewhere there has paid me to deliver a letter to a relative, excellent easy money! The elders deemed me worthy of further training and I have learned a new skill, chain lightning, this is a more powerful version of the lightning spell which can strike upto 3 at once, I am looking forward to seeing the Alliance scum dance in that one!
I enquired about some skinning training and although I had the knowledge the trainer there wanted an extortionate 5gp to teach me. I explained to him how it would benefit the Horde as a whole but he starts going on about feeding his 12 children and ageing grandmother, I decided not to bother, I wasn’t going to talk him down to a level I could afford.
I settled down to make some leather goods to sell, I had placed a large amount in the bank and it was time to make use of it, Hillmans Shoulders, Heavy Leather Patches for armour, quite profitable in the end (but not enough for the skinner!)
Time to set off for Desolace, unfortunately I couldn’t fly so I decided to go in shadow wolf form, much quicker and as I have to travel through Feralas, a very dangerous place, it was wise to go as quickly as possible. Feralas and Desolace are full of all sorts of strange beasts, lightning breathing monsters like in the barrens though twice as big, 2 headed giant humanoids. I barely escaped with my life on many occasions. I eventually reached Shadowprey village having passed through several wondrous areas, the twin colossal, the western sea which I saw for the first time. I spent a night looking out over this new wondrous sight listening to the surf crashing on the rocks. There were some giant waterfalls, much like home, I am looking forward to doing some more exploring here once I have a wolf in hells chance of surviving.
It was finally time to change back to troll form, I nearly lost myself to the wolf having stayed in that form for many days. I must resist the call for a few days I think I have heard of some Shamans reverting to the wild and there is too much to protect from the Aliiance plague to succumb to that pleasure

May you honour the memory of Sen’Jin

Night on the Town

2005-08-01T07:37:00.000-07:00

Well I managed to auction off the Axe I found but no one was interested in the sword so I sold it to a tradesman at a greatly reduced cost. At least the money will go to pay for some more tuition. That money I didn’t spend on carousing that is, with some other DarkSpear brethren taking a well earned rest at the Inn. So it was with a heavy heart and an even heavier head (I almost decided to walk back and halfway there on the wind beast wished I had, I hope those below were Alliance scum) that I returned to the thousand Needles to complete my remaining tasks there. With the help of another Shaman I managed to defeat the large cat for the goblin at whiterock. I also managed to gather all the Agave for the incendiary to light the sacred flame. This summoned AriKari (I’m sure that sounds familiar) whom I managed to defeat though it was a close run thing. It was near there that I blundered across Arnak Grimtotem, he had some mages with him too, unfortunately (for him) he would not come quietly to face his Elders and I had to slay him and take one of his hooves as proof of my deed. Well next time I will go back to the racetrack, that will be my last quests before moving on, I think I may look at Desolace next.

For the Horde!

Wyverns

2005-07-28T02:25:00.000-07:00

Continued my exploration of the Needles by doing a job for the Windriders. Apparently they are running short so need some new eggs so I thought I would help out and it is a new challenge to try my skills against. Fought my way there through some Hyenas, cats and some wandering scavenging goblins. I saw a curious thing on the way there, some humans with wings flying around, a result of some hideous alliance scum experiment no doubt. When I approached these curious creatures one of them attacked me so I decided to teach it a lesson, then all of a sudden I lose my voice. What kind of hideous trick was this, I was unable to call on the gods for any blessings, fortunately I had my trusty mace and the effect wore off quite quickly but it was a hideous experience. I decided that the world would be a better place without these alliance creatures and cleared them out of that area, hopefully our people can pass that area in peace now.
I eventually found the Wyverns high up on a crag and started to collect the eggs. Unfortunately the wyverns objected to this and I had to kill quite a few of them before I had a bag full of eggs. Hopefully this will not reduce there numbers too much, we would not want to lose our only source of eggs.
Having been away from the jungles of home for some time I decided to travel to Orgrimmer. I also have some weapons to sell which I took from the Wyvern (why and how a wyvern could carry a 2 handed axe I don’t know, but it explains why it was flying so low to the ground), hopefully this will enable me to by some more training from the wise ones.

Blessings of Sen’Jin on the Horde

Healing Training

2005-07-25T06:42:00.000-07:00

To avoid using my mana to heal I have been training in the lesser skills of bandaging. Unfortunately I have come to the limits of what the various trainers can teach me, I had heard that a book with further teachings can be obtained deep in the Dustwallow Marsh. This is renowned to be a dangerous place and I was advised that I should be careful to avoid all encounters.
I headed there from the thousand Needles and then through Southern barrens, killed several dinezens on the way - to think this had been a place of terror for me not a few months ago. It shows how far I have come in the ways of the shaman that I could afford to ignore almost all that were there. I found the book eventually without encountering anything, in Brackenwell Village on a leatherworking vendor. I had to depart from there reasonably quickly as there was no inn but fortunately there was a courier rider there which was a relief as maintaining the shadow form is difficult for long periods of time. Next back to the foray!

For the Horde!

Shimmering Flats

2005-07-21T09:50:00.000-07:00

I had a cold dreary night ahead scouting the Shimmering Flats for Alliance Scum, how wrong I could be! Whilst there I thought I would talk to the Goblins at the RaceTrack as it turns out they wanted a few things doing which for a small fee I said I would do in exchange for some much needed funds.

Later whilst skinning a large turtle I was attacked by a abomination unto god, gnome mage, as I was suprised and tired from my previous fight I thought I had better hide out the way and come back when I was at full stregth. It was then that I found myself trapped in another beings body, one of the alliance pathetic woolly pets it was, when this finally wore off I was blasted from behind by the abomination, I must have fallen unconcious then for the next thing I new I was lieing on the floor having been left for dead - the hunt was on. I eventually found the abomination sneakily attacking another of my brethren not far from where he had left me, a couple of quick spells and a bash to the noggin soon had him squealing like a pig and we made short work of him. I burnt the body and spread the ashes to the four winds so that the holy ones would not have to look down on this profanity.

I eventually managed to complete several tasks for the Goblins most of which involved killing various of the denizens of the flats and one which was picking up all sort of metal iotems which had been scatrered around, I wish I had witnessed that explosion it must have been some site. I'm sure we could utilise some of the technology that the Goblins are using for our war against the Alliance Scum (AS).

Returned on one of our fast courier flying lions to Thunderbuff, a truly awesome city built by our Heffer brethren, to see if I have achieved enough for them to teach more great blessings. The wise ones were gratious enough to bestow on me some new spells and have said that I have shown that I am ready to try and master the last and greatest of the totems, that of Air. That will be my next installement!

Blessings be on the Horde and the Gods of BloodFeather

Assassinations!

2005-07-18T02:50:00.000-07:00

After a few days of meditation to improve my lightning control I was back in the front line. I thought I would take a look East to the desert and the racetrack. There were many animals on the way which I killed and skinned. However I don't seem to be able to get any cured medium hide, which is frstrating as I need this to make some leather belts. I have so much leather at the moment I can hardly carry it.
Eventually made it to the Shimering Flats. There is much good hunting in the Shimmering Flats, though I think I need to study harder to be able to hunt effeciently here. Found some Alliance scum and sith the help of a Hunter of the Horde we beat them a Rogue and a Hunter both more experienced than us, a very satisfying result. Unfortunately the puny humans don't produce any hide worth using so I and to console myself by chopping off there eyes to add to my necklace.
Later that same day I had travelled back West to what I thought would be safer territory. What a mistake to make, I uncovered a plat to assassinate one of our Brethren in a small outpost near to the Great Lift. Fortunately I managed to get ther just in time to warn him and to help kill the centaur assassins. Typical of the sneaky alliance to afraid to take us on face to face.

May the great Troll Bless teh Horde with strong swift arms

Horde business

2005-07-14T04:02:00.000-07:00

I am currently defending against the Alliance incursions via there allies the Centaurs in The Thousand Needles. I scouted out the sacred Flame in the middle of the centaurs camp but there were too many of them to attempt it this time. I will come back in a few days to complete this tax. In the meantime the eldars have asked me to cull the centaurs and try and reduce there numbers to somewhere near manageable.
I find found that the lightning bolt and shock spells work well against the centaurs and then finish them off with the trusty rock bighter to head, but being careful of the hooves as they kick out. This worked will until I failed to kill one who fled to his brethren who then hunted me as a pack like the alliance dogs they are.

Blessings of the Horde be on you - OromeBstard, Horde Shaman
