Zul'Gurub- 14/11

*Taelus climbs up onto a table to make herself visible above all the surrounding humans and elves and coughs. When the Tavern becomes silent she begins…*

Right, ok… So on Tuesday we are set to head into Zul’Gurub, I thought I should explain why we are going, as we have 4 reasons and I don’t want constant questions when we are there…

Firstly is my original purpose for forming these trips… Very little is known of the troll tribes that lost the wars in ancient times. Sure, we know all about the trolls who survived, but nothing about those tribes that got destroyed… On a previous visit to Zul’Gurub I found a small piece of tablet which contained details of a Shamanic tribe of Trolls that discussed something about “perfect civilisation”. I am quite curious, so I am hoping to find more on this topic…

Secondly, the Settlers of New Arathor apparently also have interest in digging in the area, however I know little about this so I would ask you speak to Trischa or Anaqtria about that.

Thirdly, Iron Wheel is researching Hakkar. I don’t know how close we will get to him, but I hope you will gain from this trip.

Lastly, and the point I can tell some of you are waiting for, is treasure. I doubt I need to explain that.

Now, this may sound great, but the trip will be difficult. I ask that you all bring the best equipment available to you, along with some Runecloth bandages. Any potions you bring are also helpful. Ok, you can all get back to chatting and drinking now, we will meet at 19:00 outside Zul’Gurub on Tuesday.

Ahhh i look forward to visiting this place...myself and Buttons have ventured there once or twice before' but as yet we were unable to venture to far into it

... i was drawn to it by the most wonderfull smell

*ponders* I'm pretty certain the smell was Darkmoon special reserve....though i had no idea troll types drank that stuff??

I hope to discover the source of this fine fragrance *cackles*

Evaluation:
*You read the notes passed around the guild via mail, which is surprisingly quite short*

More tablets found, more understanding... But more needed... Yes, More...

I can tell you no more than this, as it doesn't all make sense currently... However I have the evaluation of artifacts we found:
I can happily tell you that we found some very valuable Troll currency, which apparently are tradeable with a troll nation on an Island... However due to our low understanding of its value, we are currently holding onto them till we understand them more...

On a happier note for you treasure seekers, the members who came along recovered quite a few artifacts in the form of Armour, Weapons and Jewels, we plan on salvaging more of this in the future.

Hopefully we will be able to get closer to Hakkar within a week to conduct research. Expect more updates after our Saturday trip, since we know a little more about what we are actually looking for now...

*Tarim reads the note and mumbles*

Hmm ... Once we got to "investigate" Hakkar I bet everything should go much smoother. Ill talk to everyone who comes Saturday, we need to down Hakkar so Tae and her research team can work on that currency.

*Tarim stores the note in a pocket and continue's to sharpen and poison her arrows*

A dark figure dashes through the streets of Stormwind. As it passes by a strip of light, the huge panther-like cat is made visible, and so is the envelope in its mouth and the silver-grey hair down its back.
In the park, Galvinoth resumes his normal shape and opens the envelope, and reads the document inside.
"Hmmm..." Galvinoth can be heard saying, as he slips back into the shadows after reading the document.
