Chronicles of Lyphridia Chapter 2

It has been well over a year since the arrival of the Vindicaar in Azeroth, our champion with nothing keeping her home, decide to leave the Draenei crashed capital to find something more meaningful. Staying on the Vindicaar would be too painful as every corner of the ship triggers fond memories of her dear beloved family. Her time with the Draenei Exodar and the Vindicaar is now over, she and like many other Draeneis have set off upon a journey that will script their destiny in adventures to come. Her destination, Stormwind City.

Her first stop will be Elwynn Forest, making haste to a rather popular trading post some small distance outside of Stormwind City in the Eastern Kingdom. Is is there she may begin searching for work and learn about a known war brewing up in the far lands between two major factions. She will need to visit their tavern first as that is usually a popular spot for jobs being listed.

Much of the task offered range from clearing wild animals to exploring caves nearby. Lyphridia decided what good way to begin a warm up like a short exploration into a cave. The pay was considerably low but it is expected. If the more difficult the task, the more rewarding the gold. The entrance is a little up North from Elwynn Forest and the tavern. After receiving a token stamp for the assignment, our Paladin begins her short track towards the cave entrance.

As she was reaching her destination, she could see very peculiar creatures that herself have never encountered. Before leaving, a tavern wench had provided her a journal which documents the creatures and maps of Azeroth. This creature are known as Kobold.

These creatures what seem to be giant biped rodents and seem sentient. They don leather armors and armed with spears and clubs. Some have beards and many with lit candles glued to their scalp. They have an odd obsession with candles and seemingly very hostile. The Kobolds seem to hold up in the same cave our adventurer needed to go map out but fortunately for Lyphridia, no oversize rodent can overpower a Paladin of the Naaru. As she nears the cave entrance, she begins quietly pulling each guard to herself by distracting them and away from the prying eyes of other guards. 

One by one she patiently tricks and eliminate the guarding Kobolds. As soon the last lookout was dealt with, Lyphridia slowly makes her way into the cave to begin the mapping. To her dismay, it would seem our brave adventurer had stumbled into a Kobold staging site with dozens of them moving on and about. All was silence as they see Lyphridia by the corner, with no moments to spare, she charges into the nearest Kobold with her two handed sword with the fury to survive this day. Attack after attack, her blade made flash tear and bones crack.

As the fights escalate fiercely, Lyphridia let out a battle cry in which her Zeal powers doubled exponentially. Waves of Kobold poured in from all corners of opening in the cave, one by one each enemy fell by her blade and each kill made her more powerful. After what seem like an eternity to survive the day, the waves of enemy finally stop as the last remaining Kobold retreated and fled from the cave. This day she will forever remember to be more cautious and patient when exploring or questing. With the cave now clear of the rodents, our hero took this moment to rest and heal her wounds.

Paladins are holy warriors with holy magic that can be used for healing, her Order had trained her in the healing art Flash of Light, it is a magic cast upon the ground and will heal all those who are friend within a circle in exchange of considerable amount of mana magic. Because she has exhausted most of her mana in the fight, she was only able to heal herself in small amounts. During the next entire course of mapping the cave, our hero limped for hours moving slowly and taking rests when necessary.

What was suppose to be a short quest now took one entire day to complete and when she finally reached the tavern, it was already late mid night. Our hero submitted her map and was paid with bonus 10 Gold coins for the troubles. With that, she had a warm meal and a comfy bed to retire for the night. Tomorrow, she will make her way to Stormwind City.
