Well deserved award.
“That’s how clever I am, I solved a modest crime, unexpectedly for myself and to help the police, it happens,” Katenka thought about her middle-aged, but young soul person.
- “And what an interesting policeman, not dry, not rude, don’t laugh, Ira, not soft, but very smart and intelligent!” Katenka told her old friend Irinka about her impressions over the phone. Their mutual friend Alexei also knew about the events that happened to Katya. He was a middle-aged but attractive man who still could not make his personal choice in favor of whether it was Katya or Ira.
But fate has prepared more than one surprise for Katerina, and so far she has given the first one.
The girlfriends were soon to have a birthday party for their old friend. At a party at Margarita's, a second surprise appeared.
When Katenka looked into Rita's bedroom to find the latter, who at that time was crying in the bathroom because of the departure, as she believed, of the last Love, Katerina saw Lizka, Rita's friend, Lizka was looking for something in the birthday girl's notebook.
“What are you doing, how dare you,” Katya exclaimed.
- “I'm nothing, nothing”, - quickly hiding the book back, Lisa shouted.
The evening ended unexpectedly, like Katya's first case with a policeman, the same intelligent man from the police station came and arrested Lisa and her friend Kostya, they, the police, had long been looking for a gang of burglars. But Rita was more surprised:
- “Well, I warmed up my girlfriend, huh?!”
Lisa's words, spoken before her and Kostya's departure, were imprinted in the memory of the remaining guests for a long time.
- “All the bastards, the gunners themselves, “revealed the cards” that we are here, with these in uniform, huh ?!”
Everyone was ashamed, since no one knew about dark side the lives of Liza and Kostya.
This bastard in uniform, but in fact, a man aged 45, short, stocky, dense, who introduced himself as Andrei Alekseevich when he first met Katerina, turned out to be very active, he had many solved crimes behind him.
Katerina and other guests of that ill-fated party in the subsequent time were often called to the police station as witnesses. But it was Katya who saw Lisa in Margarita's bedroom, so more and more conversations were held between her and Andrei Alekseevich. These conversations were built on topics not only about Liza and Kostya, whom Katerina hardly knew, but on more interesting topics. Soon Katerina and Andrei Alekseevich showed a common interest: reading detective stories. So imperceptibly they both realized that they could not for a long time be away from each other. Despite the difference of 15 years, Katenka and Andrey Alekseevich fell in love with each other very much, they were united not only by Love, but also by Friendship, common interests, and eternally young souls of their bodies hot with love.
The wedding took place soon after. And a month later, three Andrei Alekseevich were promoted in rank, and they began to live a good, bright life of two loving hearts. But if there are already two in the world loving hearts, then how not to be a few more. So a girl was born, and then a boy. They were all very good. They passed not without grief family life, but everything bright everywhere accompanied Katerina, Andrei Alekseevich, Maria and Igorka. And most importantly, there were always friends nearby: Irinka and Alexei, young spouses, Rita with her third husband, Dmitry, and many others.
So Katerina again unexpectedly received a well-deserved bright reward from Fate in the strip of everything dark. Everything!

Shadowfang KeepSinews from Giests & Corpse Eaters At entrance

Comment from Debs
To get to Shadowfang keep without a flying is do-able. From Refuge point in Arathi Highlands go north to the mountains and go west along the line of the mountains till you come to Thoradin's Wall. There is a gap in the wall at this end that will bring you out just behind Durnhold Keep. Make your way across Hillsbrad foothills avoiding the horde, It is possible, try to stay on the road as much as possible but watch out for the horde guards. You might die once but if you are careful it can be done. I managed it with my lvl 20 something priest only to die horribly in the Keep itself. Take a very much higher lvl friend with you if you can.hope this helps.
Comment from Kelleher01
I like the horde version of the bow better.Comment from rktect
Its not hard to get there but it takes some time to walk/scramble/swim. I went at level 26 hunter, followed the road up to stormguard, went through the pass following the buzzards to the right of the keep, swam along the coast, and the n went overland following the main map to get to the bearpaw shaped lake that shows up in the quest map.. Everything is pretty killable levels 17-22 raptor, orc, undead, ogre, spider, big bear monsters mostly, not many friendly" s except for the elves, and the horses.The usual sort of big and scary mean monsters, but not much work at all till the very end. Its also easy to evade trouble using beastmaster but I had to put my wo;d on passive. The wild horses in the highlands seem friendly and are possible tameable, plus its really pretty country mostly. The only negative about getting there was I used up a couple of bags of equipment looting en route and then at the end you have to throw some stuff away to collect the quest objects.
Right after the entrance screen there are monsters but none of them charge you right off so you can collect items 1 and 2 easy Getting the final reward is well deserved.
