Here do be dragons!

Location

Today's hashpoint was located just a few meters away from the Drachenbrücke (Dragon-Bridge) to the former mine dump Halde Hoheward

Participants

It was just the two of us: me (Lam 'al Adie) and my trusted mount STEVENS.

Plans

me: whoa look at that! the hashpoint is only 15 km off of my way. Gotta look into that.

Expedition

The map already said so, this will be a dangerous journey.
I'll have to sneak my way around some of the most Fierce Creatures. Then there's the problem of crossing the Waters of Vessels of Steel! Only some small distance to the north and I'll have to cross the River of Poo. This means, I have crossed the border to the barren lands! The maze of Dead Wood needs to be mastered before I'll reach the foot of Mount Doom.
My steed is getting more and more nervous, the air smells like molten lead. On top of Mount Doom I can see the Dragons lair. I'll have to be careful and quiet, as I'm approaching the hashpoint.

Finally I'll get there, everything's fine. Only my stallion has lost some weight. He's only Bones and wires. I need to tend him well when - if - we get back home. On my way back I even get to see the dragon. It seems to be asleep. such a majestic view. I'm glad, that I didn't get engaged into a fight.
On my way back home I cross the grounds the now abandoned Castle Electra and pass through the formerly prosperous but now somewhat declined city of Her-Ne.

This small adventure was a great fun after a day at work. Thanks to the Internet for guiding me there.
