On the ship

{if game:Uthul_in_party = true} After resting calmly for the first time in days, we pressed on through Ashenvale and finally reached the port town of Auberdine. Having an orc in our party raised more than a few eyebrows among the local guards, but between Baelog’s dwarven credentials and a handful of well-placed coins, we managed to secure passage without incident. Uthul ducked low as she boarded the vessel alongside us, her broad frame drawing cautious looks from the crew, but soon enough, the ropes were cast off and we set sail toward the Eastern Kingdoms. {endif}

Sailing on the ship to Menethil Harbour was one of the things I had always wanted to do. I had never left the mountains of Beornia so seeing this vast body of sea stretched all the way my eyes could see was mesmerising! I spent the first few days on the deck, watching, taking in the view as Kalimdor slowly faded in the distance.

However, once we hit the open seas, I must admit that the journey became somewhat boring. We had an amazing captain who steered us clear of any dangers so I did not even get the chance to see a storm at sea. Granted, it was for the better. I did not want to end up as fish food. Still, the days just dragged on and I quickly became starved for entertainment... anything!

Unfortunately, there was a scarcity of choices. Korant was a great bodyguard, but he was not exactly the fun-loving type and spent his days resting.

The dwarves were... well, they were the dwarves and spend their days drinking and playing card games. Fun, sure, but I wasn’t sure whether it was my type of thing.

{if game:Uthul_in_party = true} Uthul was... well, she was deep in thought most of the time. The rest, she spent with the dwarves, playing their card games and sharing their drinks. {endif}

There were no other travellers on the ship. Well, save for the sailors and the captain, naturally, but I had not been able to really strike a good conversation with them so far...
