Since the servers are down for the next few hours, I figured I'd start my morning by writing about last night's game.....Tons of fun.
I got on last night, and noticed I was broke again (trained up my tailoring and stuff, plus, its hard for me to save cash). Since Xeran wasn't able to do our Dire Maul thing (see, it wasn't my fault this time...hehe), I figured I'd go farm Scarlet Monestary.
Sounds easy enough....At level 60 I can solo pretty much the whole thing. Good drops, lots of stuff for tailoring (I'm only at 202), etc.
Well, my husband was home sick (we both have Strepthroat now), and our roomie was bored, so they asked if they could tag along.
My hubby and roomie both belong to The Collettore Royale, a guild I started with my priest alt. One of the other members saw them on, and asked if they could join us too. I invited them and we began our trek. At this point we have a 60 paladin (me, yay), two level 32 mages, and a 28 rogue. I know the aggro is going to be flying around up there, but I am confident in my abilities to keep a team alive, even with a ton of elites on them.
Oh, and did I mention I forgot to repair my armor before we left? Hehe.
Anyway, we get to Southshore, and are waiting on the rogue, when the horde attacks Southshore. I jump into the fray, die a few times, get some kills in, and my partners actually jump in and have some fun as well.
Most of the horde attacking Southshore were 60's, so I didn't want to stick around too long, especially since not many people were coming. I didn't want to spend all night on a rez timer while I was supposed to be looting Scarlet Monestary.
We slipped away and took off running toward the Undercity. We almost get there, when the obligatory level 60 undead rogue attacks. Hey, we were in Horde territory, so I don't hold anything against him. He takes out the cloth wearers almost instantly, and after a moment it is me against him....and a level 40+ warlock who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
I salute the warlock. If not for the DOTs and the fear/charm combos, I would have had that rogue.....He was almost low enough for my hammer of wrath. Anyway, I die, and then the rogue spams a /spit macro at me. Very classy there.
So finally we get into the Monestary, and kill our first group of mobs, and my armor all turns yellow. This is when it hit me that I hadn't repaired.
We make our way through the library, getting my lowbie team the Mythology of the Titans book for their quest, and are about to take out the boss, when a stray runner pulls an entire room AND the boss on us.
Needless to say, we wiped. The boss kept counterspelling my heals, and I had like 10 of those monks on me. I died and all my armor and weapon + shield went totally red.
We decided to all rez in the graveyard and go home to lick our wounds.
The mages both rezzed and teleported. As I rezz, I see our rogue getting attacked by a tauren shaman right there in the Graveyard. I was like "WTF dude we have rez sickness", but we still took the Tauren out. Then he rezzed, and tried to attack us again! He died again.
At this point, the rogue types to me "What the hell is this asshole trying to do? We're in the graveyard with Rez sickness!"
One second later, the rogue is one shotted. I look up and see two members of The Grim, and then they start to attack me too. I had rez sickness, and did not want to get camped by the Grim....I don't like giving those idiots the satisfaction of getting me....So I bubblehearthed and got out.
The Grim camped the rogue for quite a while, even though he was 30 levels lower than them. They even brought in more level 60's to help them.
/golfclap Grim....Camping a lowbie in a graveyard and not letting them hearth home is very classy.
Anyway, I get back to Stormwind, and my armor repair bill is 5 gold! I only had one gold on me!!! So not only did I not win any greed rolls on the mission, but since I had to scrounge up the money for repairs, it actually cost me money to go there.
Anyway, as I'm sulking about the waste of the night (although I did have MUCH fun battling with my friends), I get a whisper from a gnome warlock...the alliance alt of the same warlock who had helped that rogue kill us outside of the Undercity. He was very nice, and saluted me, and apologized for the behavior of the /spit spamming rogue. We talked for a few minutes, and suddenly I felt better about the entire night.
Aside from the fact that I had INCREDIBLE roleplay with Barke, stuff like this is one of the reasons I love this server. Just the random chaos, and PVP, and roleplaying, and all the stuff I've been rambling about....
Twisting Nether is awesome....
