    So many chores to do around the garrison. This place would fall apart if I weren’t keeping up with things. There are work orders to pick up it seems like constantly. And then there are the things that need gathering like the ore in the mine and the herbs in the herb garden.

    And there are all the missions that keep coming up. I have to assign the right people to those. And occasionally  someone gets fussy about it.

    The good news is in the middle of all this up keep I’ve managed to do a few more interesting things.

    The guy in the guild was working on a raid group for killing off Tarina the Ageless in Gorgrond. So I went over there an helped with that. That was quite a fight. Once we quit dieing and got a method down we were able to take that thing down. I can’t say that I got much more out of it than some gold and a high repair bill. And of course some experience killing off that thing. I’ve heard there is another big guy in Gorgrond to hunt down but I haven’t followed up on it.

    I finally knocked down the Lumber Mill. I haven’t been getting much use out of it. Most of the time it sits idle. So I decided that it was time to replace it with a more functional building. I had Gazlowe put up a Tavern. They call it Frostwall Tavern. There were visitors in there right quick trying to get me to go get things for them from one dungeon or another. This is not sitting well with Warmaster Zog. He’s not keen on my ability to take care of myself in a dungeon. I really think this is just him being over protective. But maybe he’s right. I guess I need to put a little more time in over at the Barrack’s training dummies.

    After we upgraded the Tavern a bit this Troll named Akanja showed up calling herself a Headhunter. I thought she meant to she actually hunts heads. You know Trolls. She quickly put me straight. She’s like a employment broker. She tells me that she will go out and scout for people to come work at my garrison, I just have to tell her what skills I’m looking for. So I took her up on the offer to find a new recruit and she brought me a choice of three. I ended up with a Holy Paladin named Auriel Birdsong. She seems capable enough, though she’s going to require some training up. She also can work over in the Herb Garden when there aren’t missions for her. That’s good. Get her a little experience there, then maybe find her some missions to head out on.

    As I mentioned Warmaster Zog is not really happy with my performance in group situations like dungeons and raids. It’s making it a little tense in the Town Hall. This week High Overlord Saurfang showed up and is standing not even ten spans from Warmaster Zog. This would be ok if Saurfang weren’t trying to convince me to go take care of something in Black Rock Spire.

    It’s looking like I may need to take some training from Zog. I think that’s the only way he’s going to ease up on me and let me see more action. Not that I have that much time for it with all the garrison up keep there is. Still a little change of pace would be good.

    Excellent! These followers are finally starting to get some decent gear. More of them are ready to tackle those
    more challenging missions. It’s about time. It seems like such a waste to send them out just to get fighting
    experience. Really, they can get fighting experience and bring back some quality spoils.

    This week they brought back a good quality robe that I can use. It’s durable and not too fancy. Kind of nice to
    not look like a geisha or such when out trying to kill things. That was the problem with the Pandarians. They
    seem to think that if it’s good quality and durable that it needs to be fancy and ornate. Really, I want it to
    protect me, it really does not need lace. I’m still fuming that all they let us Warlocks wear are robes.
    Seriously.

    Lantressor. What to do with that guy. He walks up to me the other day and tells me that his blade thirsts. What on earth. I guess, he is bored in the mine. I know he’s got stuff to kill down there. I’ve seen it. The Goren have been making inroads and every once in a while I run into a few when doing my rounds. I think he’s been doing more than he’s letting on though. I sent him out on a mission since I had one that could use his skills and while he was gone, I did my rounds in the mine. Unbelievable. The Goren were just about to overrun the place. Took me twice as long at least to get through there just for killing Goren every few feet.

    Now I got the guys at the Barn yammering for work. They got all those beasts sheared for fur and they want more to do. I’m glad they want to work, but really, there is only so much I can do in one day and getting them more beasts is not high on my list. I suppose it should be. The tailors have also been hollering. They ran out of fur to make clothe out of and they have a couple of pieces of gear they want to make for me but not enough clothe to do it. I think they are also secretly hoping that I will upgrade their shop.

    There has been a lot of talk when I make my rounds of the garrison about which shop will get upgraded. I can’t believe they keep on about this. I’ve got to look into some of it soon though. I need a few more followers and a few of them need more stuff to do so I may have to make some really big changes. Somebody won’t be happy. That’s always the way of it.

    I’m also starting to get messages from a couple of my Horde sisters about wanting to make their way to Draenor. I don’t know how well that is going to go. But may have to keep an eye out for them. They’re Blood Elves though. They look just a little to pretty for this environment. They might break a nail. Can you imagine a Death Knight Blood Elf with a broken nail. It isn’t a pretty site. She as a heck of a temper.

    It’s back to chores and more menial stuff for me for now. I’m hoping to get out a bit again soon. Maybe see what other skirmishes I can get involved in. If Lantressor thinks his blade thirsts, he has no idea how much I am itching to throw some flames around and totally destroy something. If I don’t get out soon, it may be my
    garrison.

    While it has been a busy week. It has not been very productive. Most of this week has been taken up with chores. Some of those chores have become a little more time consuming since the Mine and the Barn were upgraded early in the week.

    Upgrading the barn is just a step to the final upgrade. Right now they can produce fur and feasts. But what we
    really need are Savage Blood and the foreman there tells me he can’t do that until it gets upgraded one more
    time.

    The Mine upgrade has not been bad. We opened up another shaft and so are getting much more ore and stone from there. We’re finding some carts with a variety of items in them, including some Archeology fragments. I’m hoping to find enough to start getting an idea of what the history of the place looks like. Draenor is so different that what was left of it as Outland in my timeline. The only thing about the new shaft is that we keep having to deal with Goren in the tunnels. Like they found a new hole to tunnel in through. It’s a bit annoying. I’m told that I might be able to get someone to patrol the Mine if I upgrade it again. I guess these guys don’t want to work in dust. What do they think this place is a 5 star resort?

    The Warmill is finally starting to produce gear for the followers. They don’t do it regularly but every once in
    while I find they’ve left me a nice piece or two to hand out. As a result the followers are better equipped for
    some of the missions they are being asked to go out on.

    I did take a couple of the followers that were working in garrison building as send them out on a few missions. They needs a bit more experience. Things are starting to heat up and I want them ready for anything. Besides there is a bit more going on and more hands are needed in the field right now. Better they be out there taking care of business than hanging out here working in a cushy garrison building. They’ll get soft. Now if there aren’t any missions that need them, well then they are going to work. I don’t have time for lay-abouts and hangers-on.

    Especially with the various campaigns popping up. This week we headed over to Shadowmoon Valley. They called it the Sargerei Campaign. At least I got to do something in Shadowmoon Valley besides fish. That was a nice change. Supposedly this little campaign was all about trying to disrupt the rise of Socrethar. There’s a bunch of Dranei over there that are turning against their own people in favor of the Burning Legion and they are trying to raise some demon or something. They think Valen was a fool. I don’t have time for such traitors. Really. Feel the same about my own people.

    And what is up with this disguise thing? Really? Infiltrate? Seriously, that’s just not satisfying. That disquise
    is uncomfortable and it smells. What have these creatures been bathing in? I don’t understand why we can’t just go in and be straight forward about it and wipe them out. What is the point in letting such traitors continue?

    The campaign was more challenging than I expected. I did get some help from the garrison when I called. At least they were on the ball. Still the commanders are calling it a success. We were able to bring back some intel for them and while they aren’t pleased with it, they are glad to have it.

    My name is Bluecoal. I’m an Orc, Destruction Warlock, and a scribe. I’ve been asked to help out in Draenor and have helped to make significant progress. Still there is so much more to do.

    And it’s not like there is a lot of extra time to do it all. Being in charge of a garrison is a huge responsibility and there are always things to do. There is the garden to tend, the mine to keep clear. I just got word today that we were out of fur so I had to go out and trap a few beasts for the barn. And the fishing pond needs stocking. Ok. I love fishing but really this just has to take a back seat to everything else.

    Just today, Rokhan tells me that Gazlowe has some plan to assault the Iron Siege Works out past Thunder Ridge. So I catch a flight over there. First, he wants payment up front. Then we have to pick up a few parts as well as sabatoge some of the equipment. Oh and of course, we need to kill a few of the leaders. I guess the good news is he got a lease on a Mole Machine from Thelin Darkanvil. It’s supposed to take me to the outpost in Gorgrond. I don’t know if I want to go by some tunneling machine. Then again, at least it isn’t a flying mechanical chicken. What to do, travel via tricky Goblin equipment or trust Dwarf technology.

    I did get a bunch of the followers off on some missions. Three of them are supposed to bring me back a really awesome robe. I hope they hurry. I really want to send them off to help liberate Shattrath. That one has a sweet payoff. Not everyone is out on missions. Benjamin Gibb and Shadow Hunter Rala are helping out in the garrison, and Kimzee Pinchwhistle is just hanging out. She’s really not one for the long missions and every mission the others are out on are long ones. Maybe there will be someone she can go out with tomorrow.

    In the meantime she will just have to stay around here and stay out of trouble. I hope she doesn’t  blow anything up. Goblins. So enthusiastic about inventing stuff and just no concept of what will blow up. Give them nitro and they make alcohol out of it. Oh wait, that might have been the Pandas. I haven’t seen any of the Pandas around here. You would  think they would help out since it was their stupid Sha that Garrosh was playing with. But no. Voljin and Thrall decide we need to take care of this problem ourselves and if the Pandas come along that’s cool but they won’t ask them for help. Really?

    That’s enough of my grumbling. I have to get back to work. I need to get over to Nagrand and help out and then there are those fish I need to catch. And better find something for Kimzee to do.
