Closing Quests

Things went pretty much according to plan. Starting from Astranaar we found our way back out to the moonwell to hand over the last piece of Dartol's rod to Shael'Dryn, who reassembled the rod. The next step was to recharge it, which meant taking it to a 'hidden' shrine not too far away (not that well hidden, actually - we'd been there before). We took the charged rod back to Shael'dryn and got the next quest step which was to take it back to Astranaar, or in our case to hold off until the next time we happened to be there.

From the moonwell we went east to the Felwood road then retraced our steps to Night Run and up to Xavian. The quest we had there was to find Anilia, who turned out to be having a really bad day - more than halfway dead in the middle of a camp of level 29+ Satyrs. We had some tough fighting here to clear a path to the almost-dead Anilia and close that quest. With a last breath Anilia gave us the next step - to go further north into the camp, retrieve the stolen Branch of Cenarius from Geltharis, a level 32 Satyr, and return it to Illiyana in Forest Song. Here we managed to sneak along the side of the hill to find Geltharis without having to fight all the way through. Geltharis was pretty tough but went down soon enough and gave up the Branch.

We fought our way back out and went downslope to Satyrnaar, where we liberally beat things up for XP before going over the rise into Forest Song. After handing back the Branch of Cenarius (which I think ends that quest chain), selling some of the junk clogging our packs and getting repairs done, we flew back to Astranaar to hand over Dartol's Rod to Raene Wolfrunner at the inn. It turns out that Dartol's Rod will turn you into a furbolg for three minutes, and the next quest is to use this ability to be able to talk to a furbolg at a camp to the south (probably Bloodtooth Camp that we found yesterday). We'll take care of that shortly.

We hearthstoned back to Exodar to take care of the usual business then called it a day. We didn't get to explore any further, so we still have areas to explore and quests to complete north and south of Forest Song, but I think we'll get to that next time. One particular thing I want to do is explore along the southeastern border to see if there's a way through to The Barrens that doesn't mean trying to get past the Horde guards manning the gate we found the other day.
