Into the Marsh

Woke up in Theramore and noticed there was a LOT of available quests.  I knew these would be a bit under my level, but I figured as long as I was in the neighborhood, I might as well check them out.  The xp rewards would be about the same as killing 15-20 monsters and some of them could be done quickly.  All of them sent me into Dustwallow Marsh, so I put on my thicker boots and waded into the quagmire.

The enemies were not overly challenging and I was able to quickly plow through various encounters without breaking a sweat.  After discovering the secrets of witch hill and slaying the demon that haunted it, gathering some frog’s legs from non-combative tiny amphibians, and culling a tribe of tauren, I discovered a goblin (neutral) encampment in the south side of the zone I'd never known about.  As a bonus, it gave another chunk of quests and a flight path!

I had reached level 42, so I teleported back to Ironforge and learned a few new spells then hastily flew back to the goblin village to undertake their missions.  None were terribly bad and after completing most of them, I found I had made significant progress to my next level.  Took a flight south to Gadgetzan and finished the level by collecting a couple dozen pirate hats from some very fashionable pirates who were overly reluctant to part with them.  So, yay: level 43!

Called it a night early so I could watch Futurama.
