So last night I was going to work on my pally. I had all good intentions, had run up to Western Plaguelands, and was headed to smack around some undead, when I got a begging whisper, sent from a level 36 Warrior that was having it’s butt kicked around by a quest mob. I sighed, sat there a minute, then thought “what the hell” and went to help them. Turns out they were supposed to kill a level 40 elite mob, which is why they kept getting ripped to shreds. I healed them, they eventually beat the mob down, and I got a good giggle out of them thanking me over and over, while bowing and kneeling at my feet. I think they were a bit stunned when I turned down the gold they offered as a thank you.
Right as I was about to get back to killing undead, The Boyfriend had logged in and gotten tackled by a friend of ours that was asking if we wanted to go a-instancing with her, her usual questing companion and another of their guildies. So I switched over to Siana, The Boyfriend got his boomkin druid, and off we went to heroic Slave Pens, the heroic daily quest instance of the day… and proceeded to get owned. Often. And painfully.
Sadly, our bear tank wasn’t quite geared for heroics. We left SP and went to Mechanaar, where we had slightly better luck for a bit, then it all went to hell, so we went outside and reset it to normal. Right as we were getting near the first sub-boss in Mech, the group that I was supposed to go to Mech and Botanica with from OUR guildies started trying to get going. Thank heavens our other friends understood I’d previously committed to the guild group and TB and I went to join the guildies. I still feel bad for leaving, especially as we spent almost 90 minutes flinging ourselves against instances and never got anywhere with them.
On the other hand, our guildie group tore through Mech, and that was with a tank that’s still getting geared to TB’s satisfaction and had never been to Mech. Then we went to Bot. Oh my lord. I forgot how long that damned instance is. By the time we left there, we were all starting to get tired, and it was past when I’d normally be logging and going to bed. Then the other warrior in the group said “Hey can you guys help me with a quest up here?” Turns out several of us had stages of that quest, so we plowed through it, got everyone caught up, then killed out the end mob for the questline. Yet one more group quest out of my logs where it had been permanently engraved…
Tonight? Tonight is “I’m going back to pally, pally, pally” night (two points if you get the lyrics reference) and hopefully get caught up on the level 50 pally Sunken Temple quest. Man I want to get all those quests done…
