Gnomish Investigations - Felwood (Part 2)

Journal Entry 523 – Location, Felwood.

I attempted to use the Universal Language Translation device (ULTD) to communicate with a friendly female individual of the Tauren race who was standing by the road. Although I am positive Nikolas has updated and upgraded all the systems, I do believe that the device is still in need of some fine tuning.

I am not sure why the friendly tall Tauren druid lady felt it imperative to repeat the phrase “the century drawers just north of the itinerant spank frequently, little fiend” several times, but in due course (after much hand waving and pointing), I was able to discern an encampment a little ways up the road.* It seemed to be the base camp of the very druids I was seeking.

I expressed to them my desire to further investigate the corrupting nature of the demonic energies, and my curiosity as to how the druids were able to combat them.

The druids expressed the opinion that the best way for me to gain a better understanding the dangers of demonic corruption was to see first-hand the results of said corruption, and advised I survey the lands for myself. One example, they said, was how the corruption shattered the once-peaceful furbolg tribes. I explained that I had seen some of the results of this effect on the furbolgs in my explorations of the lands to the south, but the druids helpfully pointed out that there was a tribe of furbolgs here in the midst of the Felwood who somehow resisted the corruption.

I found this intriguing. Perhaps the furbolgs of this tribe had discovered some means of combating the effects of demonic energy? The druids were not sure, as they said the furbolgs were wary and distrustful of strangers.

I determined to attempt to communicate with them. The druids have marked the location of their settlement on my map. I will undertake the task of traveling there tomorrow.

*According to an elven translator, the helpful Tauren druid was actually saying “The Cenarian druids just north up the road speak Common, little friend.” I believe she may have been speaking with a slight accent, which may have thrown the ULTD off. Some day, I will have to conduct further research on the intricacies of the Taurehe language.
