I log on, planning on
working on getting into 30th level hell, when Grish volunteers to take
me to gather up my tunic. Yipeee!
We meet up at the
bank, after Lacan finally relogs and arrives from his swim in the deep
blue sea. (That's another story... a story that I'm still not too clear
on.) So we meet up, I grab my Meldrath skull out of the bank, and all the
coin I have, and we go to buy rubies. My video card starts acting up, so
I have to relog. (Patch day. Oh, fun!) By the time I get back, Grish has
already bought a ruby and Lacan has bought the other. They didn't let me
buy a ruby! They are so cool!
So finally we're
ready. We port to Steamfonts, and run to LFay. Grish gives us all wolf
form, tells us to be careful and go play.
Well, maybe not go
play, but what would you call running all over the zone like crazy people
looking for one little brownie? Grish disappears, and Lacan and I head
for the spawn site. No Thistle. We split up and start canvassing the area.
Because we are mighty! Because nothing would dare mess with us! But mostly
'cause we're in wolf form and safe. :)
Lacan sees Thistle
go by, but he's gone too fast. I don't even see his dust. Next thing we
know Grish is yelling over groupchat that we'd been KS'd by the ranger
camp! Grrrrr.
So we head back to
the spawn point and start killing pixies. Things get complicated as Lacan
and Grish get sidetracked. Lacan and Grish keep trying to hit on the pixies,
which shall henceforth be referred to as hussies, and get their phone numbers.
Lacan had the most
admirers.
But then they became
a problem and he started screaming for Grish to help him. He knew better
than to ask for my help with the little hussies!
Maybe it was because
he was in nifty wolf form, but they flocked to him.
Finally he got fed
up and killed 'em all! That Lacan, he's all heart!
Grish got bored
sitting around killing pixies-- actually medding while we killed pixies--
and waiting for Thistle to spawn, so we started killing brownie outcasts.
Lacan and I would jump 'em and distract 'em and Grish would nuke 'em into
oblivion. Druid power! WOOT!
We killed four outcasts
and got four out of the six arrows I need for ivy-etched leggings. What
luck! Then Grish, doomsayer that he is, says we now have 1/5th chance of
getting an arrow we need next.
Grish takes
off like a shot. Soon I hear, "Track me, Urs. Loot this." He killed Thistle!
Woot! I loot and there's the rune I need. Along with some mistletoe powder
and tasty brownie parts. Yum.
Now he says that
since I've got four of the six arrows I need, we might as well stick around
and get the other two. But he jinxed us and the next arrow is one I already
have. Gallantry. And so is the next one. Gallantry. What're the odds! :)
But the next one
is a new one. One to go! Grish chimes in with, "Now we have a 1/6th chance
of getting the arrow you need."
As I glumly consider
that bit of news, Grish takes off again. He yells out that he's going to
zone to get EQwidow. I haven't seen Widow in too long, so I head out after
him. Lacan says he's starting to lose wolf form so Grish tells him to come
to zone for a refresh.
On the way, a skeleton
starts chasing me. It's green so I don't understand what it's thinking.
I get to zone, hug Widow then turn and annihilate the pest. Widow joins
our group, and we head out to the spawn point again.
Back to the pixie
slaughter. Grish takes off in the middle of the tedium and kills Thistle
again. He loots a rune. Next time Thistle shows up, Grish says Lacan and
I should be able to take him. We take off after it. Somehow we lost Lacan,
so Grish and I kill him. Since we already have a rune, I wait for Lacan
to show up and loot it while Grish takes off to bail Widow out of a sticky
situation. Those pixies can be mean! "Hell hath no fury..." etc, etc, etc....
We kill another
three or four outcasts before we get the last arrow I need. I do a happy
dance.
Grish says he has
to leave in about 20 minutes. They each hand me a ruby. Won't let me pay
them! I scowl happily.
We port to WC and
run to Kithicor. Night is coming down fast, which is when the undead take
over the zone. Widow and Lacan stay at zone while Grish and I run
to the rangers.
I hail Gandryn. My
notes were correct. I had everything I needed. I turn in 2 rubies, the
skull of Meldrath and Thistle's rune and get one shiny new Ivy-Etched tunic!
I didn't have a
chance to try it on. Night was minutes away. We sprint for the zone and
make it just as night falls.
Widow decides to
turn in, so she ports to her bind point. Grish ports us to Butcherblock.
We celebrate my new tunic. We do all sorts of silliness... get drunk...
dance around... I challenge Grish to a duel... But if you want to
hear more about that, you have to go here.
I had a wonderful
night with my guildmates, and now I'm half green. Lacan and I journeyed
to Erudin and bought a Star of Odus. All I need now is the quiver, and
I'll have leggings! Then I'll be aaaaaall green. WOOT! This guild is the
coolest.
