Brewfest drunkeness

[Brewfest Sept 20-Oct 6]
Medelys' adventure at Brewfest

What's with all the bubbling beer deco around Org?
"Hey you! is there an event happening?" Medelys' asked Kiro, a vendor in org.
"ahaha, um have you been living under a rock or something? It's Brewfest! The tents are set up right out side the front gates. Just be careful though, you might get trampled by Brewfest rams running all over the place"
"ahhh ok thanks"
Medelys got on her mount and flew off to check it out. "Frick yeah, I found it!"
She landed and got off her charger.
"What the crap!!!" she says in shock of what just went by missing her by a couple of feet. A HUGE YAK!!!! Ok the chick back there said there were rams, not yaks. and she never said they were friggen as big as a damn house!...

"WATCH WHERE YA YOU GOING YA JERK!!!" Medelys yells. the Goblin riding the yak just looks back and laughs. "great already annoyed with this place" She turns around and heads for the Brewfest gathering.
Sure enough as she's making her way across the road she has to dodge those damn rams. Looks like that's an event game or something. A bunch of people are lined up across the way with whips in their hands. "Meh, maybe I'll go play that later, I don't know about whipping the rams though".

First person she saw was Brewfest Organizer Tapper Swindlekeg. "Welcome to Brewfest my lovely. Anything you need, don't hesitate to ask." he says.
"thanks! so this being Brewfest and all, where can I get drunk?" "Well my sweet, this being Brewfest and all, you can get it anywhere. Vendors at the tents have special brew but just grab a mug off the tables and there are kegs set up around."
"Ohh nice!"
She found a mug and as she was getting ready to fill it from a keg, the ground starts to shake.
"The Dark Iron is here!!! Everyone pelt them with ale mugs. Chase them back, hurry!" yells the Brewfest patrons.
Alrightee... She filled the mug that was in her hand and threw it at a Dark Iron Dwarf knocking him out. "Ahahaha that was hilarious... have another!!!" she yells. The amount of mole machines popping up are slowing down now. The Dark Iron that were left are taking their knocked out friends back into the machines. When all the mole machines are gone everyone cheers and the staff are so grateful they offer everyone free booze and 10 Brewfest tokens that are used to purchase prizes. "Fricken Awesome!!! FREE BOOZE!!!"
Medelys went to a see what the vendors had for sale. "Oh my god, I need that!" as she pointed to a beer hat. "Are you sure you can handle this little girl?" says the vendor.
"Can you handle me beating you with my mace fat Orc?" was her snotty reply.
"alright, alright, just making sure. Wouldn't be the first time a little Blood Elf thinks she can handle the hat".
"Whatever, I can handle it"
She puts on the hat with the 2 cans of brew, puts both straws in her mouth and drinks.
"oh good god that's refreshing". a little tipsy but not fully drunk she gets up on the table. "alright boys who wants to watch me dance!?!?... anyone?... noone?... you guys suck... I'm hot!... whatever!" as she gets down from the table she realizes her hat getting a bit light, she needed a refill. She went to the distillery this time and the apprentice there was much nice then then the beer hat seller dude. even let her sell booze with them for a bit. Along with her hat refill she got another mug.
Went to sit down and drink it.
Got hungry so she found Bron the sausage vendor and wanted to buy food. "What do you mean you only take gold. I have Brewfest tokens only. You're a vendor in Brewfest! take my money!" Med demands.
"I'm an Orgrimmar vendor you little drunk brat. I'm just selling my product at this event. Gold or no sausage." says Bron.
"Fine! your sausages are probably tiny anyways" and she leaves his tent. "They are average size!" yells Bron.
Medelys turns around and holds up her pinky finger. "riiight!"
Bron gets mad and throws his ham at her head. She falls down, gets up and was about to throw the ham back at him, but realizes she just got free food.  Ha!
That ham to the head got her all dizzy. might have made the booze work faster. She needed to walk away from all the loud craziness of the fest.
She left the Brewfest grounds, and her vision was still blurry but she could see something hopping towards her... "Um what the.... what the hell is that!?!?!" it started coming at her faster. A bunny with antlers, wings, and sharp teeth. "Ahhhhhh...." she turned around and ran as fast as her drunk wobbly legs could take her. She didn't want to kill it she needed to show someone what she just found.
She's never seen anything like it before. she remembered Deadskully gave her a bunch of Netherweave nets the other day because she wanted to catch some fireflies down in Zangarmarsh.
She stopped, turned around and threw the net at it. "hahahaha, you creepy little bastard! I got you!" She walked over to it, scooped it up and stuck it in her bag. "ugh I'm so over this place."
She got out Tyreal, her charger, and took off back to Orgrimmar.
Her whole ride back to Org, she regretted ever getting the booze hat and drinking so much.
She went to the Inn in the Valley of Honor and wanted to just sleep the rest of the day off. She saw the stairs and said "Well shit that idea, I ain't making it up those stairs" so she left and went to another hut in the Valley of Strength.
Saw hammocks inside and no stairs to get to them. Nice! she climbed up and went to sleep. I wonder if she was aware that the hut she walked unto belonged to the Kor'kron.

Direhorn accident

Decided to take a ride around the north coast of Pandaria. I noticed in the distance there was a piece of land. Um yeah, I needed to go and find out what was on there. As I got closer I saw this island was bigger then I thought. Ohhh great that just means bigger things must live on there.
Meh, I can run... or hide, same thing.
Dags and I land on the coast and I guess I was too busy trying to not land in the water, I didn't see what was on the grass past the black sand.
CRIPES!!!! DINOS!!!!
"Dags don't move... they can't see us if we don't move..."
Just as I said that I remembered who told me that bit of information... Spammusubi. Sometimes she doesn't know what she's talking about. If Hellgurl was the one to tell me that, then I would have believed it. So I didn't want to take that chance here. I slowly looked around and saw a dead dino carcass in the water. Gross but we needed to hide for a bit and figure some stuff out, like if we were gonna continue exploring the island or take our leave asap.
"DIREHORNS!!!! that's what they're called!" 
I tell Dags. Just as I said that, I heard loud pounding, the water started to shake, and I looked past the dead dino ribcage bones. "Dags move!" we got out of the way before the direhorn came crashing right into the carcass shattering the rib bones to pieces. We got back on land and it came back for us. Dags was able to taunt it long enough for me to get a couple shadowbolt casts on it. I didn't notice until it was too late to get out of the way.
Spiky tail went up, and then came right back at me. I went flying about 10 yards into the water. Dazed, I crawled back to shore and caught my breath while I watched Dags and my imps finish off the direhorn. Took a while for Dags to notice I was no where near the dead dino. He saw me and came to my side. I was too tired to walk around so I mounted up and explored that way. We rode around for a good bit staying out of sight of the other direhorns.
I heard a squeaking coming from some bushes around a tree. I got off my horse and went to see what it was. Oh boy, I didn't know how smart this was, but luckily my face didn't get ripped off.
A baby direhorn! Oh boy, I might regret this, but I wanted to keep it! I sat down and it came right to me. It looked so weak and sad. I coaxed it out of the bushes more and again I felt the ground shake and I turn around "Dags!" I yell as I put the baby back into the bushes and I run out of the way. My imps got the first hits on the dino so it went straight for them. Just as it was about to chomp my imp, Dags came charging towards it as fast as he could. Imp was safe but Dags wasn't doing so good. I cast health funnel on Dags and he regains his energy and starts hitting it harder. I know Dags doesn't like when I use health funnel on him, because it drains my own energy to transfer it to him. But I was fine and if I needed it I had a Healthstone in my bag. I help Dags a little bit with some shadowbolts and fel flames until the direhorn was dead, but I was too busy trying to make sure that the Direhorn runt didn't come out and get trampled. I took it out of the bushes, mounted up and booked it back to the shore. And we took off back to the Kun-Lai Summit coast.
I was so over this island.
When we got back I took out my baby direhorn and fed it some pearl milk tea I had and it loved that. Sweet! I was worried it wanted to eat like raw meat or something.
While I had Dags watch the baby dino, I went to check my mail. Vasarin Redmorn, Sunreaver Onslaught Quartermaster had sent for me to come and help them on Thunder Isle. Cripes! why now? I wanted to play with my new pet. Fiiiine!
Dags and I flew to Townlong Stepps and through the portal to Thunder Isle. Vasarin had sent me out to find some kind of mana crystal.
 I found the crystal, strapped it to my back and Dags, baby dino, my imps and I decided to exploring.
We came across a neato looking lightning rod thingy. As we got closer the crystal that I put on my back started to glow a bright blue. I got tingly all over and lightning from the top of the rod shot straight at the crystal. Baby Direhorn was licking my leg right when the lightning bolt shot and he let out a cry. Not like a painful cry, but it sounded more like a "I want to eat something" cry. And then I started to think ahhh, ok this is where I'ma lose a leg. It will snatch it and run off. I knelt down to pet it him and calm him down.
The blue glow started to swirl around even more and then it started to seep into the baby direhorn. He started to shake like he was having a seizure... I stood up and Dags and I stepped back and my imps scattered. Oh my god I killed him, I killed the baby dino. I felt so bad. I ripped it away from its home, and then I electrocute it to death. I'm a baby dino killer! Noooo!
I hid behind Dags not wanting to watch it die. Dags starts to get agitated, and I felt him tense up as I leaned against his back. "oooooh" Is all I hear out of Dags. I peaked around him and I see a beautiful bluish grey adult sized Direhorn. He looked like a tough piece of battle gear, yet still so delicate. As I touched him he made the crystal glow brighter and I could feel energy coursing through him. He felt like hard stone yes but despite that he was still warm to the touch. Maybe it was from the lightning frying his insides, I don't know. He bent down so I could climb up. Oh my goodness! I just got another mount... a DINO MOUNT!!!! fricken awesome! I shall call you Slate.
We ran back to Vasarin and I gave him his gem and he was thrown aback when he seen Slate.
"Warlock, where did you get that Direhorn?!" he asked
"Um, I made it?" I answered in more of a questioning manner. Cuz really, I don't know if I made it. yes it was an accident on how he came to be, but I really didn't want to explain the whole thing to him. I felt bad for kidnapping the baby from it's home already. whatever yo!!  I HAVE A DINO MOUNT!!!!  This island was depressing me being all gloomy and junk."ok Vasarin... gotta go! peace out!" and back through the portal we went.
So I decided to take Slate over to the Valley of the 4 winds and have him graze in the calm fields with the goats and yaks.

I Dream of Dags

I've always had dreams that included Dags however, until last night I never had one where he wasn't himself, I mean in the form of a Wrathguard, as I've always known him. He was a Bloodelf Deathknight named Deaddags. He didn't speak, just like the real Dags but I knew he was searching for something. I just don't know what.
From the Blasted Lands he went through the Dark Portal to the Outlands on his Ironbound Proto Drake.  
"Help me Dags".
Ironbound Proto is fast but harder to control then his Flying Disk.
He heard the voice but didn't know where it came from. He closed his eyes to try and concentrate again. But the voice didn't come. He took off towards Zangarmarsh in hopes of hearing her again.
Did he know who spoke to him? It seems as though he does. His search around Hellfire Peninsula showed just how much he wanted to find this person. Every mountain, every valley, every cave, every hill was not left un searched.
"please hurry Dags, I'm dying... it's so cold..."
He stopped.... changed direction and headed South.
If she was hurt she might have been captured by the Alliance.
Terokkar Forest to the south has Alliance town Allerian Stronghold. If she's in there he will be risking his life, or whatever life a Deathknight has left, to find her. As he made his way through the forest to find the Hold he didn't sense she was in there.
"Dags... please... come back" says the voice
"I will" he actually replied
He made it past Allerian Stronghold undetected by the Alliance so no trouble given there. She's on the other side of Auchindoun in the Bone Wastes.
He didn't hear the voice for a while now. He got worried and something in his chest where his heart used to be started to ache.  He took his disk faster to the cliffs.
She has to be on one of the floating cliff fragments, but there's a ton of them but he knew which one.
As he got closer I could see who it was.
He was looking for me.
I died and he couldn't save me. He knelt beside my lifeless body. If a Frost DK could, I knew he would have cried for me. At least one frozen tear is all I wished for at that moment. And it came.
When his frozen tear fell from his cheek and landed on my hand I woke up in the same spot Deaddags had found me in my dream. I don't even remember flying out here. Unless I took some ghost mushrooms I couldn't even tell you the last time I flew somewhere and not even remembered it.
I felt lonely. I knew I could just summon Dags and he would come to my side and make it all better. But in some way although I was lonely, I just wanted to be alone. I'll eventually bring him back to me.


_______________________

I think I have a very unhealthy obsession with Dag'arad Deadskully's Wrathguard.
I don't know what it is. I think it's the fact that he keeps Deadskully safe.
He will protect her from anything and everything.
He will always be loyal to her.
He will never hurt her.
He will stay by her side until he dies. Even then he will always come back to her.

Stealing goats!

Visited with Tina Mudclaw today. I needed to learn a bit more cooking recipes and Tina offered to help. "Alright my dear, first I have a recipe book for you to read over there on the floor.It will tell you what ingredients you need and where to find them. If its recipes you need to get any type of fish it will tell you where you can catch them and what seeds you need for the vegetables and who to buy the spices from." Tina explains.
"Oh wow that would help out a ton"

I looked behind me at the book she was referring to and my jaw dropped. This book was huge! It's the size of me!
Alrightee then, lets get this over with. I tell dags he can wait outside, this will take a while. So he goes outside the door like hes standing guard. And I start my reading. I know I'd like to make Medelys some food so I look at her favorite. Black Pepper Ribs and Shrimp.
Alright so 4 ingredients... Mantis Shrimp I can fish off the coast in the oceans, mushan Ribs I can get from the Mushan that graze around the fields out here in the valley, I'd just have to buy green cabbage seeds from merchant Greenfield and plant them and then buy the black pepper from Nam Ironpaw in the Halfhill market and payment for that is 1 Ironpaw token, and I have a crap ton of those from helping the vendors there. This will be easy. Alrightee, lets see what Hellgirl would like to eat.
Just as I was going to flip to find another recipe to learn, Dags pokes his head in the door, clanks his polearms together to get my attention and when I look up he points down the road.
I get up and look what he was gesturing to. "GOATS!!!!" I yell.
"Sorry Tina we gotta finish this some other time!!!" I'm yelling as Dags and I run down the stairs.
Dags remembered me talking to him several days ago of me wanting to get a goat. Everytime I went to Halfhill I never saw the Halfhill Goatherd there leading his goats around. Either he never took his herd out those days or I just completely missed him.
But today was my lucky day. I wanted to buy a goat from him. those things are too cute not to want one. My mission for another mount was so on.

"Goatherd!! wait up! I want a goat!!! Slow Down will ya!" I got closer and asked again and he just ignored me.
"Um ok, whats wrong? I wanna buy a goat from you, please" I ask again
"They are not for sale, this herd is going to the slaughter. Kol Ironpaw owns these and when they go to slaughter the Fatty Goatsteaks he broils up feeds the vendors back at Halfhill market, So now you see why I can't sell these to you"
"Well that's awful, poor goats..."
Dags puts his hand on my shoulder, I look up at him and he shakes his head knowing what I was thinking.
"I have to...." I whispered.
I grabbed some rope from my bag, made a muzzle and reins. waited for the last goat in the herd to pass me and then I roped the muzzle over it's mouth, jumped on him and took off down the side of the hill. The rest of the goats got scared, knocked the Goatherd down and he got up and started yelling
"Get back there thief!!! Goat thief! An Undead stole my goat! you won't get away with this."
I don't get very far before guilt sets in. Damn my conscience! I don't steal things. Well sometimes, but I steal from the people that deserve it. I tell myself that to make me feel better. Ugh! fine I'll take it back. Dags and I get back onto the road and keep walking until we found the Goatherd ahead of us.
"I'm sorry sir. I don't know why I stole your goat. I guess I just felt bad that they're going to be used for food. And I really wanted to keep one for myself."
"I understand warlock, but this is life." Is all that said as he took the reins from my hands. "Because you were so honest and came back I will sell you my pet goat. But she just gave birth to baby kid 2 weeks ago so you will have to take both and care for them "
"Whaaaaa??? are you joking? thats friggen awesome! I'll take them!" I gave him the gold he requested for them, got on my new mount and rode away.
Just goes to show, if you do good things, good things will come back to you. Well I guess it didn't start off with good intentions, I mean I did try to steal the other goat after all. but but, I brought it back didn't I.





The name of the goat companion is kind of an inside joke. It's a play off of my boss' last name. I showed it to him and he thought it was hilarious.
Didn't decide to put it in the story until the day I wrote it. haha... I still giggle.

Geosynchr...blah blah World Spinner

I was walking around in the Slums and decided to see Kall Worthaton and see if he had gotten in any new Goblin trikes. I needs me a new mount.
"Oh Deadskully, what brings you by the Slums today?"
"Hey Kall, I just wanted to see if you gotten in any new trikes, I've bought the 2 that you already had the last time I was here with Goblooey."
"I'm so sorry I have not gotten in any... however, I think I know where you can buy one... Gallywix Pleasure Palace in Azshara is where Trade Prince Donais stays. As far as things Goblin goes, he knows how to get it if he hasn't got it already. But they don't come cheap. You'll know where to find him, usually surrounds himself with a ton of gold that he gathers from his customers, just to show off."
"Awesome! Thank you so much Kall!!!"

Dags and I left Orgrimmar and flew north to Azshara, the next zone over. I've been to Gallywix Pleasure Palace before but it was to just relax with Med and Chris. There's a golf course up there so we just hung out for the day. It was fun, and I think I do remember seeing in the distance on a platform a pile of gold and a head peaking out of it. I thought that was a pretty funny sight.
Although you can't see whats at the top of the mountain where Gallywix's Palace is, you know that's it because there is Gallywix's huge head carved into the side of the mountain. Leader of the Bilgewater Cartel Trade Prince Jastor Gallywix is the richest Goblin around. The more gold one has, the more powerful you are. And he was the richest.
Anywhos, we made it to Donais...
"Trade Price Donais, do you have any rare goblin mounts I can possibly purchase off of you?"
"I can tell you what I have and what I can get, but if you want rare, you best be havin' the gold to buy them. I require half up front if I have to fetch the item for you, and if you don't like my prices, you can skiddalde because I don't negotiate."
"I understand"
"Swell, let me see what I have shall we..."
Donais showed me his list I looked over the mounts and prices and alot of them were far out of my price range I wanted to cry. I thought I was well off in terms of gold I had, but this list made me feel poor. *pout*
And then I saw a schematic of something called a Geosynchronous World Spinner...
"What in the world is this?" I asked
"That is a rocket, the price is for the schematic only, not the actual rocket mount and not the materials to make them. If you want to purchase that you will need to find someone to build it for you.
"Well I guess I could give it to Killmecow, her trade is Goblin Engineer, but I don't always know where to find her and I'm rather impatient... /sigh"
"Well I tell you what little lady, Over at Bilgewater Harbor in the main building there is nice Goblin Resources Manager named Julie Fabernackle. She does owe me a favor... I'll call over to her and have her get the materials you will need to make the rocket... then all you need to do is find someone to make it for you. I will not help in the construction of your rocket so you will have to come up with your own gold payment to the willing participant that will be making this for you. I'm sure you can find someone around Bilgewater Harbor that can do that for you, but be careful to not let the Kor'kron see you asking for such a request. They are keeping a close eye on everything the Goblins are doing over there, as far as only serving them, and not anyone else. As per Warchief Hellscream's orders"
"Alright, Will do... thank you again" And off Alar, Dags and I went.
I found Julie Fabernackle rather quick. "Deadskully, I have the materials you have requested..." Julie said in a whisper quiet enough to only be sure I was the only one hearing this. "That was quick, thank you..." I said as I tried to give her a bag of 1k gold. "Oh no that is not necessary, I owe Donais alot and I have nothing to spend this gold on anyway" "oh ok, thank you again" and I quietly slink out of the building.
Now to find someone to build this for me. As I flew around I saw a ramp with a rocket on it ready to take off, I landed. Captain Desoto was standing on the side of the rocket tinkering with something on it's control panel. "Aye! you scared the bageezus out of me, whatdoya want!?!" I'm sorry sir but I wanted to see if you could help me build something, the Geosynchronous World Spinner..." "Bwahahaha are you kidding me?. first off I do not have the plans to make it and second the items I need to make it are a hot commodity right now, hard to find, and if you do find them, good luck buying them." "Well I have the schematic for it and also all the mats, I just need your help building this" I say as I show him the blueprints for the rocket.
"How in the all of Azeroth did you get this?!?!"
"Trade Prince Donais up on Gallywix Palace. He said..."
and before I could finish that sentence he snatched my bag and the papers from my hands and said "Alright scram, be back in 3 hours, and don't be late. I can't keep the Kor'kron from asking questions if they come by my shop, and I can't hide it while I build."
"Oh my god! thank you so much sir... I will be back before 3 hours just to be on the safe side." and I gave him a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Blah! away with you!" says Desoto disgusted as he wipes my kiss off his face.
About 2 1/2 hours go by and Dags and I went back to Captain Desoto and sure enough he's done. I marvel at the sight of my new rocket. I offer to pay him the gold that I offered Julie earlier and just the same reaction as she gave me... "No, no I can't take that. just take the rocket and go. Use the ramp there. Have fun and don't die."
"Holy cripes!!!! its so awesome!!!!...Dags stay right here I'll be back, I'm just gonna take this bad boy for a spin around the island."
I took off and it seemed a bit clunky at first but it started to smooth out. looove it! Alright that's enough, I miss Dags I needs to get back to him.
__________________________________



* just made this mount this morning. I'm very stingy with my gold as far as what I want to spend it on for myself. I do have a lot, but I have a lot for a reason. I don't spend it on anything. The Orbs of Mystery are 18,000 gold a piece and I needed 3 of them, plus the rest of the mats, which I already had. I calculated the last Auction House scanned price of the Spinner vs. the price for all the mats. The AH price for the Spinner would have been only slightly higher. I might have just been better off just keeping my mats and buying the Spinner BUT like I said those prices were for the LAST time I scanned the AH and currently, there was no rocket on the AH this morning. and I'm very impatient... So I just bought my Orbs and made the darn thing. Meh looks like its back to farming for me.
