Yesterday was quite possibly one of the most entertaining days I have ever had playing World of Warcraft. It was first spent doing some quests by myself and partnering with random people. The first major screenshot-worthy encounter occurred when JoeBlow asked me to help him with a quest. I wasn’t in the mood, but it was a quest that I had to do myself so I figured it couldn’t hurt.

The quest entitled, The Captain’s Chest involves you killing a lvl 47 elite giant so hopefully you can understand my hesitation when a lvl 37 asks me to help him out with it (note: I was lvl 41 at the time of this quest). With that it was on our way to kill a giant.

When I first saw Gorlash I think no one can sum up my reaction any better than one of my party members Fritolays:

Oh shit! We gotta kill that

Yep, we had to kill that. And that is what we did. To give a better perspective of his size check out this pic:

If you notice on one of the screenies it mentions that Lauran (JC) has come online so now you know the party is really about to begin…

I met up with Lauran and Munix (Derek) in IronForge (Dwarf Capital) and we decided to make a trip to the Scarlet Monastery.

I have taken a trip to SM twice before, but both times I was teleported there by a party so there was never a need to run. However, since I wasn’t already at SM, Lauran, Munix and I had to take a road trip to get there. There mistake was letting me lead.

I took them into the Western Plaguelands, which is a 51-58 lvl zone, to attempt to take a shortcut. We ran into the Ruins of Andorhal where there are plenty of goons hanging around. Here is a transcript of the short journey that followed:

Lauran: uh, you sure you took the right path?

Brefli: jajajajajadfklajdfljadf

Munix: why are we here?

Brefli: hahaah

Brefli: whoops

Lauran: LOL

Brefli: trying to run past here

Before I show the images of the hilarity that ensued let me offer some background. Whenever I party with Lauran and Munix, I always make Munix a soulstone so he can resurrect (res) himself and res the rest of us if we all die. Well we all died and Munix res’ed himself only to find this happen to him:

To say the least he didn’t make it.

Finally we arrive at SM and handled the first boss without incident so it was on to the second boss. When we arrived at the spot of the second boss we were greeted with this:

What you can’t see is that there are about 20 goons in there and we have to reach the boss at the end on the steps. We died quickly, but fought valiantly.
When we res’ed back we found out that all the goons we killed previously had respawned so this dampered our spirits. We decided that the only way we would fight the boss is if we could run past all of them to get to him. And the race was on…

…and we lost.

We gave up after that and just decided to work on other stuff. However, we know there will be a day where we return and slaughter everyone inside that damn church.

Good times.
