Alas, Poor Skolarae

We Ruled the Sunken Temple!

Our steadfast group blew through the Sunken Temple last night including those monsters that gave us so much difficulty the other day - The God Hakkar and his evil protectors. It's amazing how quickly we learn how to overcome and defeat our nemeses. And I had the good fortune of picking some really lovely pants off one monster, a kilt really. There was much good loot to be had in the temple last night. And this priest just loves to shackle the undead.

And now time to renew and fish! It's important to maintain the balance in this chaotic world. And I need eels - again!

The Great Killer Vermin Quest

Part One - Maintain a Vigil
Identify the stealthed killer rodents lurking in the Upper Reaches of the Choo Manor and watch them carefully for as long as it takes. Don't stop for anything! This is a timed quest and it will take a long time, all night probably. Try to stay awake. The sounds of rustling may help as will the yowling of the moonstalker runt assigned to help you with this quest. Be sure to explore and note any and all rodents.

Maintain a Vigil 1/1


Part Two - Eradicate the Rodent Superhighway
By light of day return to the Upper Reaches and explore in greater detail. Somewhere lurking behind walls or amongst debris is the conduit that the killer rodents use to transport their nesting material in and out of the Choo Manor. Find that highway and destroy it using this enchanted Mighty Iron Crowbar of the Mouse. Bring 8 pieces of superhighway debris to the Garbage Bag in the Choo Manor Chef's Quarters. Don't dawdle - only you can eradicate this infrastructure which supports the killer vermin of the horde!

Highway Destroyed 1/1
Debris Delivered 8/8


Part Three - Eliminate All Remaining Rodent Hideouts
Find any remaining killer rodent materials and/or rodents and remove them from Choo Manor. Use a powerful sucking wand, if available, to tidily vacuum the scat and nesting material from the vicinity. Concentrate on the Choo Manor Chef's Quarters.

Rodent Scat Sucked 300/300
Nesting Material Sucked 1/1


Part Four - Oh No!
Armor up and be sure to take all potions!

In the process of identifying rodential hideouts, you have stumbled upon the Killer Queen Ant's secret lair in the West Wall of the Chef Quarters! You must eliminate all her ant minions. Your crowbar has been specially transmuted to a Mighty Iron Crowbar of the Ant for this purpose. Use it to smash the wall to pieces and roust the ants from their nest. Use this special poison potion and spray the region thoroughly. Eliminate all signs of her minions and then go back in! Use your sucking wand to rip the Queen from her lair. Kill the Queen and bring me her head!

Ant Minions Poisoned 1,000,000/3,000,000
Queen Ant's Head 0/1

Your rewards:
A nice hot shower
A warm, non-infested bed and good night's sleep

Deplorable Lack of Lattes

I have travelled this world far and wide and I have yet to see a latte stand. As I'm sure you've realized by now, I am an early riser, going out at the break of dawn on various expeditions, mostly involving fish. And I need caffeine! I know priests shouldn't have vices, but we're not perfect. A good early morning latte would make my trips so much more pleasurable. So please goblins, set up some kiosks in Tanaris so I can get my early morning fix. I pray that you do it soon!

Lorel and Her Amazing Killer Midgets

For some reason my motley crew of loyal companions are all so much tinier than I am.... but they're deadly! Here we are in battle formation about to take on the bikinied Princess and her protectors at Maraudon last night.

Oh, and the monsters in Maraudon dropped the most amazing loot along with tons and tons of garbagey lifeless rock and useless skulls and extinguished torches and decomposed boots. Someone should really get in there and start some kind of waste management program.

Marathon and Weirdly Empty World

So many instances, so little time.

I've been healing and healing as the alliance battles the horde for Azeroth, including numerous dangerous expeditions into dungeon after dungeon. Tonight it's Maraudon. Tomorrow The Sunken Temple. Finally my motley crew of companions have conquered Zul Farrak. And the Battle Grounds at Warsong Gulch!

And I have reached level 50! Seems just a short time ago I was a novice doing my first heals in the Deadmines. My how time flies.




And yesterday I took a solo trip through most of a world strangely lacking in monsters or allies or anything really. How surreal. Reminded me of a book by that earth author Stephen King. I was one of a couple survivors of some grand-scale, worldwide devastation.

Today the world is back to normal.

Disturbing the Peace

I have taken to a regular early morning fishing expedition. It clears the mind for the day ahead. But this week a sad and disturbing event... as I fished for my eels, a lone hunter returned time and time again to kill my beloved fishing companion turtle, with a very loud gun. Sigh.
