Plainstriders and Pools Near the Crossroads
A short morning in the Barrens brought a skinning knife to a sharper edge, a handful of felled beasts, and a quiet discovery at the Forgotten Pools.
The Road
The morning found me resting at the Crossroads, and I did not tarry long. I followed the Gold Road out into the open Barrens, wandering the grassland for a time before I came upon the Forgotten Pools. I stopped there a moment simply to take in the view, and the place is now marked in my memory. Then I turned back through the plains and returned to the Crossroads, where I rested again as the morning wore on.
Battles
The hunting was small but steady. Nine foes fell to me in all: six Greater Plainstriders, a Fleeting Plainstrider, a Kolkar Wrangler, and a Sunscale Screecher. One of the Greater Plainstriders tried to flee in fear, and so did the Fleeting one. The Screecher shrieked for help before it was done, though the record shows nothing more came of it.
Deeds
No tasks were finished today. Several folk at the Crossroads spoke to me, though. Pawani offered leather and hides and a few techniques he might share. Jornah welcomed me by name and said the Durotar Supply and Logistics company is always in need of new contractors, especially those who gather materials or craft. Dokimi asked that I return any lost shipments I find, since they have gone missing across Azeroth.
Spoils & Craft
My skinning knife is sharper for the day's work. My skill reached 100.
Growth
My standing with the Durotar Supply and Logistics company is now Neutral. My skinning has reached a full hundred, and I feel it in my hands.
