Old Things, New Again

This is my second trip through Outlands, but this time its from the Horde prospective; and came with new friends, and renewed adventuring interest.

However, the heat and supernatural glare of Hellfire Peninsula requires a poor Orc to sometimes wear special attire......like ruby sunglasses. I never looked better! (click to enlarge)


Speaking of looking good, I picked up that spiffy new gun during my adventures. This well oiled steel beauty is not only a trusty weapon, but its intimidating looks scares off Gnomes at Broken Hill. When casting a simple gaze at it, lesser classes are forced to ask "hey, did you steal that off a dead Fel Reaver or something"?

And fresh to my stables is Terok the Terrible. This exotic pet once terrified travelers of the Ungoro Crater (aka Land of the Lost), sneaking up on the innocent and stomping them into a mud hole. I saved him from this repetitious, yet rewarding, life.... allowing him the privelage of fighting along side our main tanks and dutifully saving our healers from certain deaths. He and Mugato seem to be getting along fine. (click to enlarge)

My adventures began with a visit to Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace, with old friends Asterien and Fluoxx. We were also joined by new friends Paladills and Thelindael. See performance report of that 01/02/09 Blood Furnace mission here. My loot included the earlier mentioned gun.

The next trip was into Zangarmarsh, a swamp filled with fungal giants and giant mushrooms. After the long swim into the depths of the Coilfang Resevoir, we arrived at the entrance to the dungeons of Slave Pens and the Underbog. View the 01/09/09 performance of Slave Pens here, and Underbog here.

A few days later, we joined our old friend Darkdoc, who applied his healing arts on our party as we all looked for loot in a return visit to Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace. Doc also brought along his new body guard, Zartin. Zartin the Deathknight performed his duties very well, as it seemed that he never left Doc's side; always staying within two feet of him. Below we are shown standing at the feet (are those feet?) of Broggok, one of our defeted foes. View the 01/10/09 performance report of Hellfire Ramparts here, and Blood Furnace here.

Then came another visit to Slave Pens. We were join by new friends Scynteck and Dauntless. View the 01/14/09 performance report of Slave Pens here.

Wrapping up the week, our travels into the Terrokar Forest ended as we arrived at Auchindoun, a former Draenei holy site. Within that site, the ethereal beings of the Consortium allowed us to pass into the Mana Tombs to hunt down Prince Shaffar.

There were some strange gadgets in that place. I'm not sure what this was, but I felt compelled to stand on it for some reason. (click to enlarge)


Joining us in this lastest mission was our old friend, Firfeldre. View the 01/15/09 performance report of Mana Tombs here.

All that traveling around can wear an Orc out. Its a good thing I had this speedy new mount to carry me around. I never had to wrangle this Zhevra steed, it just strangly showed up at my home one day.... ready for use. (click to enlarge)

At the end of the day, its great to kick back and maybe even have a little cook out. My new Survivalist Pike came in handy for that job. But as you can see, my weenie kept falling off into the fire....I hate it when that happens! (click to enlarge)
