Text of the page (random words):
caught up in the third war when i was visiting home and he came there but aside from that i ve taught quite a few of the children in eastern elwynn and lakeshire over the years i wanted no more part in fighting caused by pride and stupidity the dwarf nodded can t as say as i blame ye on that so i ve been teaching all i can to try to rectify the stupidity part and also keep in touch with daryn and mona i felt there was an insult in there somewhere but i wasn t exactly sure how ve they been balthan asked really good particularly given how things played out at the end daryn is still a bit bitter but mona has always been a hard read this business might cause real problems for her speakin o stupidity balthan said snapping his fingers i ve been daft i know someone who can help us out she manages to get herself in all sorts o trouble bein in places she ain t supposed to but she said she was gonna be here for another few weeks balthan i ve seen your so called friends before how do i know she s reliable reliable enough for me to trust her with running a message up to a friend in southshore from booty bay when i got here i went to the pig n whistle and sure enough the reply was waiting for me

portal was one thing first we were in our barn and then we stepped into a long room with stone walls and filled with bookshelves but the sensation of moving was akin to a wave washing over me stripping away all weariness and stress ah mistress evelyn said that rush never gets old i felt around to be certain i still had my clothing and just as i breathed a sigh of relief that i wasn t naked i realized we weren t alone men and women in various colored robes milled about the room some reading others talking in small groups and some few surrounded by larger numbers of people all seemed to ignore the fact that two disheveled women one old one young just popped into their midst evelyn tugged at my sleeve once more let s move she said it s not polite to block the portal i took a step or two forward glanced behind me and nearly tripped over myself a huge ring of metal with glowing runes carved in it at least 10 feet high stood behind me within the ring was a swirling mist of green brown and white obscuring anything else standing beside the ring was a woman in robes and holding an ornate staff watching welcome to stormwind she said in a carefully neutral tone please clear the portal for other arrivals thank you evelyn replied and yanked at my sleeve a bit harder this time try not to look like you were living out in the hinterlands she whispered to me i gulped and nodded just follow me she said a bit louder i know the way we walked toward the far end of the room where another portal awaited to my right staring at a bookshelf stood an impossibly tall woman wearing a blue black and gray robe with gold trim my head barely came up to her chest but what drew my attention were the long vertical ears that poked out from above her golden hair and angular face she glanced our way and did a double take evelyn she cried crossing the distance between us in two long steps and embraced mistress evelyn it s been years how have you been elsharin evelyn replied with a smile my bones complain a bit more but the years since we last met have been too long i would imagine elsharin replied she spoke in an accent i d never heard before i can see you re in a hurry so i won t keep you she then turned to me her grin turning mischievous is this your apprentice i thought you d retired i did retire but i do still teach non arcane subject matter for the most part cardwyn here is the daughter of friends i m sure she is greetings to you cardwyn she added folding her hands together in a formal manner i mimicked her action greetings to you elsharin her smile grew even wider and nodded as if i d passed some test i m certain we ll see you two around here again please do stop by when you re finished with your business here we ve a lot of catching up to do and i d love to get to know young cardwyn better read more posted by redbeard at 4 13 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fiction one final lesson wow classic wednesday march 4 2020 one final lesson part 1 6 this is a rarity for pc an actual work of short fiction a month or two before i thought about writing this post i pondered character motivation and backstory for my toons az would be a really tough nut to crack given all sorts of contradicting issues regarding the rogue life with darnassian society but i thought there was something i could write about for cardwyn when the time came to actually start writing i thought it would be a short piece in the same vein as my sole other work of fiction on the blog but card had her own thoughts on the matter a month and a half and waaaay too many words later this is the result okay part of the result rather than do a dump of the entire story i decided to break it up into six parts so that any reader wouldn t be confronted with a wall of text i also decided i was going to finish the entire story before posting because i wanted to make sure i was going to see this through to the end i inserted breaks because well it d likely overwhelm the blog otherwise some final notes this is a work of fiction any resemblance to any people living or dead is purely coincidental any characters created by blizzard for wow classic remain their property kitwynn appears courtesy of tome of the ancient this work of fiction uses wow classic as the reference point no other version of wow this was written by redbeard of parallel context 2020 one final lesson mom looked out the window into the fields her jaw set her hands kept up their steady pace kneading the dough with only a slight tremor betraying their emotion fold turn fold turn grab a scant handful of flour and dust the dough before folding once more i always wondered how she could keep up this work for what seemed like hours on end as baking day wore me out by noon we could use the gold mom i began her eyes flicked back to me for a moment silencing me before returning to the wheat growing beyond the fence i turned back to the oven inserted the long wooden paddle and nudged a rapidly browning loaf away from the coals tired or not mom would make me turn over the manure in the yard this afternoon if i burned one it s not like i was joining the army ah yes the army she spat go and see the world meet people and get turned into a ghoul or worse my knuckles turned white as i clenched the handle she didn t need to bring up uncle aeron this early in the argument where is the army anyway she continued you d think that they d be back home now especially since the plague is now some someone else s problem i noted that her someone else s problem conveniently left out just whose problem the plague was but mom i said i m talking about our home with the army not here we need all the help we can get did you see those people the other day even dad was shaken last night and kira says i know what your sister says i m talking about our home too she tore her gaze away from the window to set the finished loaf to one side covering it with a damp cloth before grabbing another wad of dough from the large bowl she dusted the dough with flour and began kneading did evelyn put you up to this she continued no mom i came up with it on my own well that was only partially true and we both knew it mistress evelyn talked about lordaeron and the gleaming towers of dalaran whenever she would visit and that the beauty of dalaran put the mage tower in stormwind to shame her faded tirisfal accent made her stories more believable as well has her lessons more bearable a touch of the exotic in a world of crops food family and neighbors the occasional trip to goldshire was a poor substitute mom grunted as she continued to knead you can ask her mom she ll be here this evening if anything mistress evelyn would prefer i do something else entirely very few outsiders ever joined the kirin tor you know evelyn frequently said when i was younger but if you applied yourself to your studies cardwyn i would sponsor you i was skeptical as to how arithmetic and grammar would help me join the most powerful mages in all of azeroth but i kept those misgivings to myself hmmpf mom attacked the dough with a vigor that said we ll see about that despite her outward resistance i felt that mom was at least considering the idea she and dad among many others in elwynn were veterans of the second war when we nearly lost everything to the horde the third war was to a large extent someone else s war despite us all being part of the alliance of lordaeron dad would be a tougher nut to crack as he d had his fill of fighting after the second war and had a long and healthy distaste of what those light damned nobles were cooking up in stormwind but if i could get mom on my side hey mom s shout shook me out of my reverie get that bread out before it burns i shoved in the paddle and pulled loaves out to the edge of the oven my eyes narrowed as i focused on the bread and the oven s heat whispering a sing song that evelyn had taught me i then grabbed the loaves which despite the shimmering heatwaves felt nice and cool and tossed them into a basket the scent of freshly baked bread filled my nostrils as i lugged my catch over to another table and set each loaf out steam curled off of the loaves as i flipped each over inspecting them for blackened sections not too bad for someone who wasn t paying attention i thought nodding with satisfaction we ll talk about this later mom said dismissing me with a glance and go check the manure pit read more posted by redbeard at 5 57 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x

week when they say it s a brutal game they re not kidding i think i died more in two 1 5 hour sessions than az died from her wow classic creation through scarlet monastery and i m not really exaggerating much and i should mention this was on the single player game yikes if there s one thing i will say about conan exiles funcom got the sword and sorcery world of conan pretty much dead on i ll have to collect my thoughts a bit later given that i ve not had enough time in game to get everything squared away and also that i have to go and read more online about whether my hunch of simply just killing animals and avoiding people for a long while is the right strategy i suspect it is because all of the npcs seem to have metal weapons and i m stuck with pointy sticks at the moment i feel like i m in a conanesque version of lord of the flies posted by redbeard at 1 56 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels conan exiles newer posts
