I wonder what new menace I will face. I wonder what has come of my old comrades.

I prepare for new adventures.

This just in! Two grim banditos were seen bullying Gnomes and Goblins in Gadgetzan early this week. Look at the determination on their grim bandito faces. It’s as if they had recently died repeatedly while trying to complete a silly hat quest.

We may never know.

The quest itself takes place in Old Hilsbrad, reachable only through the Caverns of Time. Basically, Don Carlos challenges you to defeat his younger self in Hilsbrad in the distant past. His younger self wanders around Old Hilsbrad with pet wolf waiting for people to come and kick his ass.

Bob, Scotty, and myself took out young Carlos with little trouble; however, I did catch a bad case of death because one of my area effects attracted the wrath of a squad of wandering soldiers, who proceeded to wax my shiny ass. Luckily, they gave up after killing me and didn’t go for Scotty or Bob. I was still able to complete the quest once I made the ten hour journey from the graveyard in the Caverns of Time.

Once we had the Haliscan brimmed hats and the other Haliscan gear Scotty made for us, our outfits were complete. We spent the next twenty minutes playing around in Gadgetzan, taking pictures, dueling with fish and odd objects, and drinking Nogginfogger Elixir until we were accidentally eaten by some Horde guy’s mount while we were mini-mariachis.

It was a great little adventure and just proves that we can come together as a guild and have fun even though we have busy schedules. I think we played for about an hour and a half at most, and it was packed with fun. I haven’t laughed that hard in quite some time.

Let’s do it again soon.

Also, let’s give a big thanks to Bob, who coughed up some money for our Teamspeak server. The rest of 2008 is on Bob. Thanks Bob!

There were family emergencies, taxes, job issues, faires, homes purchased, Cats, and a bad case of the Wiggles.

However, we must not let this small but mighty band of valiant adventurers perish. We need a date for an instance. Let’s do what we can to make it happen soon.

I know that it’s difficult for everyone right now, but let’s set aside some time to revel in the stinky joy of each of our middle-aged friendship by killing hundreds of mobs as we attempt to gain loot that we can actually use.

There is too much going on right now. Both Scotty and I will be out of the loop this Sunday evening. Is there another day coming up soon that we can plan another group excursion?

A few of us were playing around with our Horde characters the other evening. Here is Bob’s Tauren druid sitting in poop. Good times, my friends, good times.

Wednesday evening is on the books for our next five man instance. Suggestions?

Tandy, Hocho, Jurgan, and myself blew through the Ramparts with no trouble at all last night, in spite of Scotty’s efforts to pull every mob in an entire area at once, but it’s not like a paladin is the best puller in the first place.

We all got together earlier this week and decided to tackle some of the odd quests up in Ogri’la. We thought we would give the dragon quest series a go, and we took them down with little trouble. I think this is Insidion, the Black Dragon. He took slightly longer to die than the others.

The only real casualty of the evening occurred when Noremacved was thrown off of a cliff. It was pretty damn funny, actually.

Until we can get everyone online at the same time, it seems like we’re stuck doing these dailies over and over again.

Heroic ramparts? Shadow labyrinth? Another shot at Mechannar? Let’s do it!
