A Day of Triumphs and Tears

Yesterday I had high hopes when morning came and only sorrow when my day was over. My goals included fishing up dark lobster to cook from the Bay of Storms, finishing my enlisted time fighting in Warsong Gulch, and continuing in the call to service in Alterac Valley for the Stormpike.

I accomplished all that and more. While working my way down to the bay, I got sidetracked and decided to explore the entire area. I picked up a quest from a goblin stuck up on a hill mad about his compass and other supplies being kept by the Blood Elves who abandoned his services. Getting to him brought me in rather close to some satyrs. I ran across some Timbermaw furbogs, but they would not speak to me yet. I'm just grateful they did not attack either. I'm slowly working my way into their good graces. I had more than a few battles dealing with the elves and the demons, but a side benefit was a bag full of herbs.

I fished off a chunk of ruins in the bay and got more than enough lobster for myself and to share with Doemar or sell. I also discovered a group of water elementals called Hydraxis Waterlords. The leader wanted me to fight other elementals in Silithus, but I declined...for now. I fished up several crates (all locked) and opened a few chests here and there, which netted a very nice polearm to sell at auction.

I wish I had stayed out there with the fish! Dealing with people proved a problem. It is one thing to deal with the enemy, another to deal with squabbles and jealousy within your own camps. I did not sleep well last night. I think going back to war in Alterac Valley will be welcome.
