Felweed, a drug or an herb?!

I was walking by The Broken Tusk Inn yesterday and I could have sworn I saw smoke filling up the room through the windows.  I was being my nosey self and walked up to the door and as I was gonna open it three orcs came out laughing and stumbling down the stairs, a cloud of smoke behind them. Was the place on fire?!?!!? As they left, I went inside and there were several others still in there gathered around a table smoking something. It looked like a flower vase with tubes coming out of it. They were all having a good time, not bothering anyone.  I asked if I could sit down with them and they all say "of course" at the same time. How nice. One Tauren in particular was extremely sweet.
His name was Gamon. Then out of no where someone runs into the Inn and whacks Gamon over the head with an empty bottle. He get's so upset and he runs out of the Inn and chases this guy down. I was not about to be a little nosey bug on this one. He looked pissed.
I left and the Inn and found Christene. I asked her if she could find me some of this herb called Felweed. Christene looked at me and asked if had smoked any of this. I looked her as dead in the eye as I possibly could and said "Hell no biotch!" We both laughed and she said alright just as long as I knew what it was gonna do. Wow I'm hungry.

Stop and smell the Heartblossom

Seriously, I send Christene out for a couple of Heartblossoms from Deepholm and she comes back with a backpack full of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I was just amazed at how much she decided to pick. She must have been out there for hours. I don't think she left any for anyone else. I needed some for a potion that Hellgurl was going to make for me and I get a mailbox full of them. She thought it was hilarious and so did I. Hilarious for her because I have no room in my bank or my bags for these, and hilarious for me because I'm gonna sell them on the Auction House and I didn't have to do any of the work. Hmmm I have my own personal farmer. :-)

Too slow... Move on!

Christene's two professions are Mining and Herbalism. Gathering professions that can make a lot of money if she puts the time and effort into it. Anyways, I needed some cinderbloom and Azshara's Veil for some Volcanic Potions I wanted Hellgurl to make for me. Christene agreed only if I came and rode along side her. I said sure, and off through the portal to Uldum we went. Arrived in Uldum and started to fly alongside the  mountain walls. She being a Miner as well, needed to keep her eyes open for veins too. Hmm I had a better idea. Why don't we take my two-seater X-53 Touring rocket mount and you can ride in the back, tell me where to go and you can keep your eyes peeled for herbs and ores, I told her. "That's an awesome idea, it's much faster then Toothless my wyvren anyways" she told me.
We mounted up and off we continued. "I see one!!" she shouted. I could see a little ways in front of us another person was making a dash for the vein as well. Well the are sooo not gonna beat my rocket mount. I kicked the boosters on and straight down we went. Told Christene when to jump, and out she went. She didn't even hit the ground yet before she whipped out her mining pick from her bag.
*clink clink clink* just as she finished the Orc just landed and tried to mine the vein. "Haha sorry sucker. Too slow... move on!!" And the Orc gave her a dirty look and took off. I figured that was going to happen,  so I hung back a while and waited for the Orc to fly away and then I rode in. Wow, that was quick, you must do that alot. I said, "Hmmm yeah, but I'm usually the one who get's there too late and get's laughed at and told to hit the road, but I've learned. And I know it looks mean when I did that, but I'm sure if he got there first, he would be rubbing it in my face". I can see where she's coming from. I did think that that was kind of mean when she said that but it sounds like she gets shit on as well.
We rode around for another hour or so, We got way more herbs then I needed but they sell for quite a bit on the Auction House so Christene was nice enough to split the herbs with me and we'll sell what ever I didn't need for my potions.  I had fun today.

Drunken Pirates puking all over

Why did I decide to stop off at a camp of drunken pirates, I will never know. Anywhos, I was running down on the coast near Silverpine and loud ruckus caught my attention. A bunch of Pirates were drinking and I would like to say were having a good time but it looked liked they were miserable and messy drunk for the most part.
I sat down to watch them make fools of themselves. I watched one pirate in particular for a good long while. He sat on the ground after getting a mug of beer, and I kid you not, got up about ten more times to refill his mug. After about the tenth one, he got up slowly, stumbled a couple of times and leaned on a wall and puked. All while still holdin his beer mug. That was sooo gross. I have no idea what kind of beer they were drinking but his puke was like neon green, it did not look right. Eh, all I know is if anyone offers me that crap, I ain't drinking it. 
I was done watching this dude so I went over to a camp fire and saw several of them sleeping around the fire. Every so often one dude would stand up and cheer randomly. That was hilarious. No one was saying anything or doing anything with him and he would just do that. And then another guy would be lying down and started punching the air. I'm starting to think this all wasn't beer at all. It was some kind of nutso sauce.
Alright moving on. Near another fire, a pirate was telling a story and I think this was his pet or something. It was a huge chicken. He was called Pepe the Bush Chicken. He just stood there looking like he wanted to peck these idiot's eyes out or something. Funny funny purple bush chicken.
When I had enough laughs for he night, I was leaving the camp and a pirate was walking towards me. As he got closer I noticed he didn't have his eyes open. Ha Ha, he was sleep/ drunk walking. I moved out of his way and he continued straight on into a wall. Head on the wall and legs still going. Oh boy, I took mental pictures that will cheer me up for several days to come. Glad I stopped by here. I think I could have done without the puke tho.

Crazy Pygmy Bashing

So down in Uldum I was talking to a farmer and he told me that he needed help getting rid of  these darn pygmys that tries to climb his trees in his garden and steal the fruits. I've never seen pygmys before so I was eager to check out what these guys look like. I've been told they are little annoying things, but I couldn't figure out how they are able to steal fruit from this farmer if they are small and trees are tall. Point me to the farm sir, I said. Omg that is hilarious!... the pygmys are
using each other like a totempole to reach the fruit at the top of the trees.
This was too funny I almost didn't want to smash them, but I needed to. Nomarch Teneth was serious tho. He even gave me a hammer to smash them with. Alright here goes nothing. I got too close and the three pygmys that I had my eye on turned around and started to walk towards me still stacked one on top of the other. They started to spit this green goop at me. AHHHhhhh, Oh no they didn't... Smash! Ewww gross. All their blood came splashing towards me. Siiiick. And the other ones at the trees tried to get me too. Smash! Splat! got em all. That was just plain weird. Pygmys are gross little creeps.

Vas'jir = Home of the Nagas

Just outside of Orgrimmar, on the coast to the left there is a dock and a boat pulled up. I wonder where this was going to take me? I didn't wanna seem like a noob so I didn't ask anyone around. I just decided to jump on the boat and see where it goes. We sail out and about an hour into our trip the boat comes to an abrupt stop. The Deckhands are screaming that something is grabbing the boat. Then from out of nowhere a huge tentacle comes crashing down across the ship. I almost got smashed if it wasn't for my cloak getting caught on a broken piece of the deck. More tentacles grabbed the ship and finally we all jumped overboard and swam away. We watched the ship go down. Then, as if we were in somekind of Bermuda triangle thing, we all got teleported back into the ship which was at the bottom of the sea. They all were in a panic knowing we were in a sunken ship with no breathing gear on. We needed to find out what to do and where we were. I was the only Undead there so I said I would go out. I don't need to breathe so I can go scout outside. I poked my head out of the ship. Swarms of Naga were circling the sunken ship. Not all the ship crew were teleported into the ship. Several of them were drowning and some were floating dead and the Naga were taking them away. I went back in and told them what I saw then they all jumped in to save their fellow shipmates.
The Naga were too much for them to handle without air so they grabbed whatever crew that they could and swam back while Abatai and I fended them off. I had an idea. I swam out and grabbed a dead Naga and pulled him back to the ship. I sliced him open and pulled out a pouch from his lungs. This is what Nagas use to breath and we are going to use it to breath underwater. It only has about a 10 minute air hold so we are going have to swim fast and no stopping for anyone. I grabbed 6 more Nagas and cut them open like the first one. The crew we saved are going to have to wait here till we can find help. As we were fighting the Nagas I saw bubbles rising in the distance. Bubbles indicate an air source so that's where we are headed.
Abatai and I went first and then the crew followed close. We made a dash for it undetected by the Nagas. Sure enough we could see where the bubbles were coming from... a cave. Hopefully a friendly cave, and not the home of the sea monster that just sunk our ship. We made it and There were others in there. They were from the Earthen Ring faction and were giving people ports back to where ever they needed if they didn't want to help them with some tasks. Hmm I'll stay and help for a bit. I have my hearth and my cloak to port back also if I wanted to. Since the crew knew where this cave was they went back to the ship to get the rest of their mates. I went off to help the Earthen Ring peeps. First I asked them where this place was that we were. "This place is called Vash'jir, The underwater city is home to the Naga, former Highborne Elves who were sucked into the Maelstrom when the original Well if Eternity imploded". Ahhhh, I replied. that was all new to me. Who? and What? nevermind, let me just go off and do these thing for you guys.
My first task that was given to me was to tame my underwater mount. a seahorse! sweetness!! I had to lure this thing, grab onto it tight and not let go. If I stayed on, It finds me worthy to ride it and it lets me keep it.  That thing was crazy, almost like riding a real wild horse. That thing tried to buck me off the whole ride. She is beautiful, hopefully she listens to me.
My next task was to find this great white shark and kill it. A sunked ship with a working harpoon on the front was about a half mile out and the shark was known to frequent that area. I was off. Ahhh there was the shark. I loaded up the harpoon and pull the trigger. Harpoon right through him. Ummmm he's not dying. He just looks really really pissed. He turned and swam straight towards me. Cripes! I swam as fast as I could and finally saw him stop and turn sideways. phew he's dead. Done with that monster.
I was swimming a little farther away and everything became calm and peaceful. It's really beautiful down here. Besides all the Naga areas this place is really nice. I wouldn't mind spending a day swimming around here just to check out the awesomeness this place has to offer.
As I was swimming I noticed a huge whale shark of in the distance. He wasn't bothering anyone so I decided to follow him. I kept my distance because you never know with these creatures. He kept swimming deeper and deeper and I lost sight of him. Then I heard this sharp piercing noise coming from a little ways in front of me. As I got closer I saw another smaller whale shark stuck between 3 tentacles. Oh no, they were sucking onto her and wouldn't let go no matter how much she tried to swim away. I gotta help her. I swam down and killed two of them and the third one grabbed onto me! so much for a rescue effort. Then just when I thought I was a goner, the whale shark bit the last tentacle and ripped it right out of the ground and it let me go. I sank to the bottom to recoup and the whale shark came over to me. I thought she was gonna eat me, but she nudged me and swam off. I think that was her way of saying thank you. As she swam away I noticed her belly was awfully plump. I think she was pregnant. I felt really good after that, despite almost becoming creepy tentacle food.
Alright I think I'm done with this place. I kept swimming and it started to get really dark. I thought I was swimming up towards the surface but I wasn't going anywhere. The ocean started to glow bright blue. I looked back and saw this swirling pit. Oh great, I'm so gonna get sucked into this thing and die. I quickly started to Hearth back to Orgrimmar.... hurry hurry hurry. go go Hearthstone.
Ahh back in Org. reminder never go to Vas'jir unless I'm ready for an adventure.

Feeling left out

OK, I know this sounds really really selfish but with Medelys and Christene hanging out more and more, I'm kind of feeling left out. I try to tell myself that I shouldn't even be feeling this way because they are sisters and I was the one who wanted them to bond and crap. I know I'll get over it but lately I've been feeling more and more slightly jealous. Yeah I said slightly.
I now know how Medelys felt when I was off with Bageezus 24/7.  But with Bageezus spending more time raiding with his guild I never get to see him.  I should change my title from "Loremaster Deadskully" to "Deadskully the Jealous" ... Geez that even has a good ring to it.
I'm never going to vent my gripes about this to her because I hate myself for even having these feelings. I mean come on, that is her sister for crying out loud. I'm happy for her that she is reconnecting with her sister don't get me wrong, but there is no time for Skully and I guess I'll just have to get used to it.  Sorry, just needed to vent.  It's ok...
Come on Abatai, lets go beat up some target dummys.

Zhar'gak and Rory

I was running around Org one day doing my daily cooking task and I ran into Christene. She had stopped me because she had asked me if I've seen Medelys. She hadn't seen her for going on two days now. She was running low on gold and decided to go down to Uldum and farm some pyrite an elementium ore to sell on the auction house, I told her. "Ohhh, we'll that explains it, she could have just asked me, I would have given her what she needed", I know right, I said the same thing, but this is Medelys we're talkin about here. and we both laugh.

We were about to say goodbye when we look back and see Zhar'gak, my voidwalker, and Rory, her water elemenal playing together. That was too cute! so we decided to take a break and sit down on the edge of the pond and chit chat for a bit longer and let them have fun. I think they deserve it. We tend to take our pets for granted a little and make them work extremely hard and overlook the fact that they might like to have fun sometimes as well. They are not going to say anything because they're more focused on protecting us and not so much on the free time they are getting. I like to think that Zhar'gak is a much better minion then Rory. Zhar'gak keeps the bad guys back long enough for me to kill them before they come near me and Rory does damage from Christene's side and that has more chances of the bad guys running up to the both of them and hitting them from close range. I love Zhar'gak and I was glad to see he was having fun with his new friend.

Potions Please!!

One day I decided to run up to Mt Hyjal and farm me some Embersilk cloth. I needed to make more dreamcloth and I was running out of the embersilk I needed to make them. Although Mt Hyjal had bad guys that are a lot weaker then I can handle, I kill them one after another and it takes a toll on my health. I needed some potions for my spellpower as well as my health. "LF Alch, have mats will tip" I posted in Orgrimmar. "translation: Looking for an Alchemist. I have the materials and I will tip) I got a response pretty quickly. A little Orc Shaman replied to my post. "I will be glad to help you, but I need to practice my Alchemy so you don't have to tip me". Well that was sweet of her. I met her in the Drag right outside of the Alchemy trainer building.
Alrightee, let's see what recipes you have that I will need. She showed me her potion book. Hmmm, I'm afraid your Alchemy isn't complete with what I need. "Aww, I'm sorry, I'm still learning this trade, are you sure there isn't anything I can make for you". No I'm sorry sweetie, maybe next time when you practice more. "awww alright" and we said bye and as I was walking away I looked back, she sat down outside the building with a disappointed look on her face. Damn my soft heart! She looked like she really wanted to practice more and get better at that so she can learn new recipes from her trainer. What could be stopping her? maybe the lack of gold to buy the herbs that she needed? Cripes, fine!.. I'm not an herbalist so I couldn't go and pick the herbs she needed, but I could buy them.
I made my way to the Auction House and tried to remember what herbs I saw in her book that she needed. Mageroyal, Stranglekelp, Briarthorn, Bruiseweed, Liferoot. that's about all I could remember. I went back to see if she was still there and sure enough she was. Concentrating hard on her book, I tapped her on her shoulder and I introduced myself she did the same. Her name was Hellgurl an Elemental Shaman. Alchemy and Inscription was her trades that she was currently working very hard on. I asked her to walk into the building with me and opened my bag and brought out the herbs. Her face lit up like a kid opening up presents under the Winter Veil tree. "Is this for me!?" she asked. Yup, now you can practice your alchemy and hurry up and learn the recipes I need you to make me, I'm kidding. We laughed. She was so thankful and it looks like a tear almost came out. I hung around and watched her mix her potions in the crystal vials. "Thank you so much Deadskully", no problem, I replied, just keep your eyes on what you're doing, those herbs weren't cheap you know. lol
I had no use for the potions she was making so I told her she can keep what she needed and try to sell the rest on the Auction House and keep what profit she makes from them. More and more I'm starting to think that my mission in this life was to help out other people. And it always starts out with gold. I'm not rich by any means, and I'm greedy to a point but I find myself helping out the ones that don't ask for it. It makes me feel better, and I'm dead so lord knows I need all the "feel better" moments I can get. haha

Deathknights... not so scary

I have tried for a long time to keep my distance from Deathknights. I just always perceived them to be scary and mean. I found out today that they're all not as bad as I had imagined.
I was running around in Grizzly Hills today and I ran into some Alliance in Venture Bay. The only reason I landed there was because Albie strained her wing so I needed to make an emergency landing. All of a sudden three Alliance jerks came up from behind us and started attacking. Zhargak was holding two of them back while I was trying to protect Albie from the third one. One of them got away from Zhargak and came running towards us. I had no weapons on me and my gear was all in my bag. I was completely not ready for this fight. Out of nowhere a Deathknight deathgrips one of the Alliance and killed him, then she took out the other one and by that time her deathgrip was ready to go again and she swiped the alliance away from Zhargak and finished him off just like the other two.
Oh my god, thank you so much! I told her. "It's no problem, I hate alliance scum" I offered her gold, but she kindly declined. "My name is Killmecow, nice to meet you"... "Well they certainly didn't kill you cow..." wow, that was lame /facepalm... I quickly introduced myself hoping she didn't hear that fail comment. "I never heard that one before"... and we both laughed.  "Lets get out of here before more of them stroll on over" she says.  "Meet me at Conquest Hold "  I bring out Violet for this flight. Albie needed a break. We both arrive at Conquest Hold and sit inside the big building on the stairs and talked for a good long while. We have lot of things in common. For instance, she mainly lives her day to day life trying to help people in need with tasks but the bulk of the gold she gets from doing them are given to the Orphanage in Thunderbluff.
She was abandoned by her parents and was taken in by Cairne Bloodhoof and was taught by Truak Runetotem to be a Druid. When she was younger Turak made somekind of deal with Highlord Darion Mograine to give him 5 souls to begin his army of Elites known as Deathknights.  When Killmecow got older, Darion came to collect. She had no choice and when told about the deal she gladly went without fight because she had felt betrayed by Turak, the person she looked up to like father.  How could the one person whom you trusted most in your life, sell you to the "devil" so to speak, and Killmecow vowed to never do that, and only fight if provoked and to defend the innocent. I'm not too sure what the details as to why the deal was made but I'm sure it was nothing shy of evil. She was taught to be a Frost DK and was taught by Amal'thazad. The only way she was able to leave was by becoming friends with Grimwing the Flight master on Ebon Hold. She went to him, asked/demanded a move and he let her go. Usually they need to get permission from their trainers allowing them to enter back into Azeroth, but Grimwing let her go. There were alot of Deathknights so one going AWOL would go unnoticed. She was able to go back in and train with Amal'thazad and no one said anything about it.
Killmecow looks scary, but she was not what I had expected in a DK. She was really nice and even offered to escort us if we needed to go somewhere. Mainly because she wasn't doing anything. All Zhargak and I were doing was flying around and fishing. Medelys and Christene were asking if I could make them some food with the buffs that they needed and I didn't have plans so I told them sure. And that's why I was in Northrend without any gear on. Just my weather beaten fishing hat and my jeweled fishing pole.
I'm glad I ran into Killmecow and I'm glad she was nice enough to help out a fellow Hordie. Let me tell you from past experiences, there are alot of jerks out there that would have turned the other way. There's something about this DK that makes me want to be her friend and know more about her. My perception of DK's up until this point were all negative. She proved me wrong and I'm glad to have eaten my words. The only other DK I know, not personally, is Bageezus' sidekick Hurtsdonut. All I know about him is that he likes to kill things and he doesn't like me because he says that I make Bageezus soft. Whatever!  Anywhos, so yeah I now have a new friend, Killmecow the Tauren Deathknight. I would not have imagined this in a hundred years.

Baby Spice on douchebags

Gosh!!! I hate it when buttfaces are mounted on huge drakes or mammoths and everyone is trying to see around them to a vendor or someone that is asking for our help. They are blocking them, just shy of standing directly on them and smashing them to death. They think it's funny because no one can see them no matter which direction they try to go around. Well jokes on them because when ever I see someone pulling that crap I throw some Baby Spice on them and it shrinks them down to where we all can see the person we're trying to talk to.
The only way to get some of the Baby Spice if from helping Cooking Trainer Awilo Lon'gomba in Dalaran with his daily tasks. I'm running low on Baby Spice because it seems that there are more and more jerks around lately that I have to shrink. I think I better start helping Awilo again. I haven't been to Dalaran in so long.
Sweet, Mustard Dogs! I love it when he needs me to do this task. I have to go around Dalaran and Collect 4 Wild Mustards in the grass, and make 4 Rhino Dogs and put them into a picnic basket that he provides for me and I bring it to Archmage Pentarus up on Krasus' Landing. Alrightee off I go. I gather the mustard I need from the grassy areas and then I went to my bank and got out 4 rhino meats. I Set up a fire and make my rhino dogs and put the neatly in the picnic basket for the Archmage. mount up and fly over to the Landing and give it to Pentarus.
"Oh thank you sweet girl, did Awilo send you? I was starting to get hungry, thank you so much, here is a small spice bag with some goodies in it." Thanks Archmage, and I left the Landing and went back into the Inn. sat down and opened my bag to see what I got. Woot! Baby Spice, just what I wanted! Got some Northern Spices for cooking and 2 Old Spices. The old Spices I also save for special occasions. But that, I use if I pass someone that smells terrible. The label on the container reads: The aged spices makes the target smell great. haha that's always funny. In the past when I've thrown it on people some tend to get offended and spew profanities at me but most are thankful, and they wave or smile at me. Um, I would like someone to tell me if I smelt terrible, wouldn't you? um yeah, that's right!
After I was done with that, I went back to Orgrimmar to see Marogg for his daily task for me to do and sure enough there it was again... a Douchebag standing right on him. I was polite at first and asked him to move, but he didn't even respond. Didn't even give me a "shut up little girl" or anything rude like that. Three other people were around trying to talk to Marogg, but couldn't. Ok fine, he asked for it. I reached in my bag and pulled out a handful of my baby spice and let him have it.

I watched as he got smaller and smaller until we all could see Marogg again. HAHA! and everyone cheered for me and laughed at Moocheeko the douchebag. Hopefully he learns to have some consideration the next time he wants to pull some crap like that again. I don't think getting shrunk on a daily basis is good for anyone.

Noggenfogger = Never again!

Now, I know I'm mostly bones and stuff but I'm never gonna try the Noggenfogger Elixir.... EVER!!!
I was bored one day so I decided to go to my bank and clean it out. I noticed I had a Noggenfogger elixir stuffed all the way in the back. So I grabbed that out and put it in my bag to sell to the vendor. Biznella, the Banker, saw me take out the elixir and told me "ohhh that's a fun drink, it makes you tiny" Tiny!? awesome! Alrightee, I know what I'm doing after I'm done here, drinkin' me some fogger.
I left the bank with a bag full of junk. Right outside the bank was Kiro, a vendor. So I sold her my useless junk and she saw the last thing in my bag... the elixir. "Hun, are you sure you don't want to sell that?... that can be dangerous if you're not ready for the effects"... "Lady, I'm a big girl, I think I can handle it" I know what it does, Biznella just told me. I've been turned small before. I guess it would be dangerous if I take it in a busy area and someone on their mount accidentally steps on me.

I'll go on the rock over here by the water. I pop the top off and drink the elixir. Awww man, I feel funny but I'm not getting smaller that's for sure. Well this was a rip. I got a dud. I turned around and as I was about to jump off the rock I looked down at my feel and it didn't look like my feel. I didn't have my boots on... it was just my feet but more boney then usual. I know I'm Undead, but am I dying all over again?!??!?! I lost my footing and fell into the water. I couldn't seem to swim while I just bones. I managed to get out of the water and back up onto the rocks. I was freakin' out at this point. Elixir effects usually wear off in a short time. I was just worried that this would be permanent.  I sat on a box near the Auction House and I couldn't keep it in any longer, I started to cry. I didn't know what to do.
I hopped down off the boxes and walked around. I saw a Priest in the distance, maybe he could help get me back to my normal self. Konfuuzd, the priest, said he couldn't help me, and laughed at me when I told him what I drank. With a name like Konfuuzd I really didn't know why I thought he could help me.
I went down to see Mirket my Warlock trainer and begged her to help me. I told her what I drank and that I was duped into taking it. She said that there was three different effects. It could have turned me small, slow my fall speed or turn me into a skeleton which it DID! I was NOT told that. But she reassured me that the effect should wear off in a little while. So I waited down with her. After a couple of minutes the effect did wear off and I turned back into my normal self. THANK GOODNESS!!!
