Happy Christmas Eve everyone!
Before the Orcs arrived to ruin everyones' night ...
What a great night I had in the World of Warcraft this evening. When I first went online tonight, a couple of players had answered a whole bunch of my questions on the Blog here.
Thanks so much guys 'n gals! Then Vier came in-game to show me how to access the Bank. I didn't know that I could take a hippogrif over there! I thought that one-time was just for the quest, not to be used again!
Then, using the very ferocious looking mount that she won for RAF-ing me into the game, Vier took me on a tour of some places in world. I was excited to see Rut'theran Village and thrilled to get to visit Darnassus. But the best was yet to come, I got to tour Stormwind and Ironforge! I ran out of words to express my continual delight and amazement. oh wow, how cool and holy crap on a cracker ... rinse and repeat. [minus capitalization and punctuation of course!]
Dan came along and the three of us had a dance party in the King's courtyard. Vier let me down to pet battle a Stormwind Rat, just so I could say I did! Then we took a tram in Ironforge and I only fell down onto the tramway once!
So much to see and do ... ... it truly boggles the mind! Thanks for the tour Vier and the dance party Dahn.
Back into my lo level experience back on Azuremyst Isle, I wasted an hour trying to locate something on my interface. I finally threw out a question onto the Guild Chat. Celiane whispered me immediately and in less than a minute I was good to go! Back into the main chat window, gabbed with some of the Big Kids [in this very friendly guild] for a bit 'til ... back to work for me.
On one hand, I'm anxious to level up quick so I can play with everyone else but on the other hand, I'm so enjoying the exploring and seeing things unfold as I go along.
Okay, I confess, I'm just procrastinating questing on Bloodmyst Isle. That place gives me the creeps!
Ah! Here's a great way to procrastinate ... an unfinished quest at Stillpine Hold, those owlkins don't scare me anymore! Spent quite a bit of time at Stillpine Hold battling all kinds of uglies.
Holy Crap on a Cracker - Have You SEEN the Kurken!! Yikes!
Deep breath. [whispers to self: you can do it ... you can do it] YaY! He's dead!
Did a bunch of pet battling on my way back to Azure Watch. Gathering some herbs, dawdling along ... ...
Shields Up! Red Alert! Azure Watch is Under Attack! OMG! What do I do?
Used my hearth stone to get back there quick. Died almost immediately upon arrival. Dam Orcs, attacking my home on Christmas Eve! The nerve.
Got lots of practice running back up the hill from the graveyard. Got chills when I saw some of our NPC Peacekeepers dead on the ground.
Me and another level 11 dude are running around getting killed left and right.
Run back up the hill. Watch the carnage as the timer counts down 'til I can resurrect and ...

Back up the hill from the graveyard. Watch the carnage as the timer counts down 'til I can resurrect and ...
Back up the hill from the graveyard. Over and over, and over again!
Talk about high stress, great energy expenditure and F-all to show for it!
Finally, some level 90 Draenei Mage arrived and drove the Orcs away. Phew!
Okay. For The Record. Christmas Eve 2014 - Raid On Orc Village. You in?
Too wound up to sign off now. Back into the wild to kill some mobs, do some pet battles, gather some herbs, do some fishing, ... Oh! I ended up over at Odessyus Landing, did a few quests.
Be darned if I can figure out how to finish the Show Gnomercy Quest. Have to do some Wowpedia reading on that one! Back into the wild to kill some mobs, do some pet battles, gather some herbs, do some fishing, ... ...
Watched the chat window as Dahn took a lot of grief/teasing from one and all. Back into the wild to kill some mobs, do some pet battles, gather some herbs, do some fishing, ...
Not shy about asking questions now. Thank you very much IrishFury and Bambooholic, your help is greatly appreciated. So much less frustrating to ask, get an answer, and get back to doin' stuff in under a minute. Even getting smart about asking questions properly, well ... ... smarter!
I had a blast in-game tonight. Thanks for the help and warm reception to everyone I ran into online tonight. Everyone was tremendous! Except for the Orcs. Look out Orcs! I'm mad now.
It is now officially Christmas Morning and time for some food and rest. Have a great holiday everyone.
Nor.

Today I learned that, just as in life, skills you don't use, you lose. I felt extremely clumsy and inept today and I seem to have forgotten most of the basics. Too frustrating for my dear Vier on her special day.
Not only in game, but juggling the phone and the game today was a challenge. -rolls eyes-
I ended up taking a few extra hippogryph rides because I forgot to click on the quest title to get directions between tasks on the quest.
I did navigate fairly well today, I thought. I got over to Still-something pine with swimming and turning into a ghostly black cat following a spirit from a totem in a quest. That was fun. But the beasts I had to get keys from, to unlock the caged furries, well, they were just plain cranky.
Died a few times from them and forgot how to release my spirit so sat around, dead, wasting time and when my time was up and I clicked the button to come alive again [I thought], poof! there I was in the graveyard with lots of running ahead. grrr.
My last quest of the day I thought would be an enjoyable one... wander in the forest and gather some azure snapdragon bulbs. It was a very pretty forest and the azure snapdragons were so shimmery and sparkly, I was having a very nice time until I gathered my first bulb. Then the hunt was on. By this time, because of my inept IRL juggling of the communications line, I was on my own, under attack by several beasts and cranky plants and I spent some more time being dead.
I did learn to efficiently release my spirit, find my body [navigate to the tombstone on the mini-map], and be there when my dead time was over. Every time I gathered a bulb, I got killed [by little plants no less, how embarassing].
Finally I had 4 of 5 required bulbs, took my dead time to grab a bite to eat, increase my caffeine level and generally rejuvenate IRL in preparation for the last gather and finishing the quest. While I was girding my loins so to speak, Vier came back to find me sprawled lifeless in the middle of a path.
Vier demonstrated some awesome skill and agility and showed me how a real WoW player zaps the enemy. She pretty much cleared the forest of beasts, cranky plants and other uglies while I bumbled around looking for my last bulb. What seemed like forever later, I finally found the darn thing, headed back to Azure Watch to turn them in and return to my inn for some much needed rest.
While I tallied my loot from today and generally looked around feeling safe at long last, Vier entertained by dancing and showing off some of her outfits. Dan, the turtle hat looks ridiculous, we must get it away from her.
I'm done, and done. I hardly remember most of what went on today, it's all a blur. Exhausted but looking forward to getting back in game sooner rather than later, don't want to go through this rusty skills business again any time soon.
