My followers came back with a very nice new robe for me. I should really give them a nice bonus, or perhaps a bit of Dragon P.I.E. to
warm them up here in Frostwall. Once they returned I was able to send a few of them back out to help out with the Liberation of
Shattrath, finally. They performed well and the mission was a success, I am pleased to say.
With all the work to do around the garrison it’s a wonder I ever get a chance to leave. But, I was finally able to get those Abysal
Gulper Eel Eggs that the keeper of the fishing shack keeps asking for. Sheesh, as many as he keeps asking for I’m starting to wonder if
he isn’t using them for caviar instead of stocking the garrison pond. Though is he is, he is keeping that delicacy to himself and not sharing it with the command staff, myself included.
I’ve had Gazlowe make some improvements around the garrison. He’s upgraded the War Mill and the Fishing Shack. Now it’s not quite a
shack. As a result we’re getting a little more productivity there. I’m going to have to ask him to upgrade the mine soon. There’s
definitely some improvements that can be made in there. It’s really a mess right now. But the War Mill is not performing as I had hoped. I’m getting a lot of scrap. I don’t need scrap, I need gear for my followers. They are being asked to do more and more dangerous and difficult tasks. They need gear if they are to survive.
As always there are the chores that need doing. Setting work orders for all manner of things from fur and cloth to herbs and ore. You
would think these people would know by now that they just need to keep making this stuff instead of waiting for me to tell them. Then again, I suppose they need to know where to pull the resources from to begin with. Really. Some initiative would be nice.
I did finally get over to help out in Nagrand. There is so much to do over there. Good news, while storming one of the strongholds there, I picked up another follower. I think he’s going to be really good once he’s fully trained up. I’ve been sending him out with some of the veterans to get a bit more experience. The work in Nagrand continues. So far I’ve mostly been able to help to bring in some supplies but is seems there are some particularly dominating beasts that need to be taken care of which I expect to be able to do soon.
Meanwhile, Rokhan sent me off to the Stonefury Cliffs to assault the Bloodmaul Stronghold. It turns out that Ogres are not the easiest
creatures to kill. They have enslaved many Orc and Dranei, and even the Lava Elementals. I was able to free a few of the slaves and cause some disruption to the goings on there. I fear it is not enough.
There is more to do. I can’t sit around here writing reports all day.
