The supper fires of Goldshire were lit when Sali slipped away. 4 kinds of foe and 7 fights; the Defias Thugs were the most stubborn. Vendor Ista and Neldor Miven made a party of it with Sali. Sali came home with Gilded Blademaster's Shoulders. Sali left at 1 and came back at 3. It ran to 1 h 57 min; the bags were full by the end.
The long afternoon stretched ahead as Sali struck out from Goldshire. Every hollow held something new: Forest Spiders here, Defias Thugs there, 5 fights in the end. At one point a Young Wolf, a Defias Thug, a Forest Spider and a Mangy Wolf rushed in at once; it was a near thing. There was company on the road: Isdor Venven, swords out with Sali. Two new levels; Sali was 5 when it was over. Brief, 1 h 29 min all told.
Sali left the warmth of the inn at Goldshire long after dark. Defias Thug and Mangy Wolf stood in the way, 4 fights in all. Then Hogger came, and the whole of Elwynn Forest seemed to hold its breath.

The evening brought Sali back to the roads beyond Goldshire. Sali lost count of the kinds of foe somewhere past the Young Wolves; 8 fights in all. A fight against 2 Defias Thugs, a Kobold Vermin and a Young Wolf at once left Sali breathing hard. A Mangy Wolf had the better of Sali once, and the spirit healer saw Sali again.

Two levels in one outing: Sali came back at 9. 1 h 16 min, no more, and back to Goldshire.
Under a black sky Sali went looking for trouble beyond Goldshire. A crowded country: Forest Spiders, Kobold Vermins, Young Wolves and more across 8 fights. Sali pulled 2 Forest Spiders and a Defias Thug at once, on purpose or not, and won anyway. Word of Hogger had reached Goldshire; Sali went to see for herself. Every fight went Sali's way. Sali shared the danger with Midor Nelta, Lidor Fenta and Fendor Liven. Rodor Thota passed by on the same road. Level 10: the first real trial passed. The outing lasted 1 h 58 min, and every minute of it counted.
Late at night, Sali answered the call of the road from Goldshire. 7 fights against all comers, Defias Thugs and Mangy Wolves the most of them. The worst moment: a Mangy Wolf and 2 Young Wolves together, and Sali still standing after. Not one of them laid Sali low. A friendly duel with Lidor Fenta broke the routine. Sali and Midor Nelta hunted as one for an hour or so. There is a photo of it: the inn. Level 11, earned the hard way. 2 h 26 min of it, and Sali slept well after.
