Shadows Gather


SQUAWK. I just thought this picture was cool. I noticed the chains are still there on Korthia, so I decided to see how far up them you can go. There's an invisible wall eventually, but it'll at least be a handy place for goblin glider jumps.

Fractured Scary Tales

 So, I don't know why I felt a little jumpy today running Fractured Halls. I though maybe it was because I got the "Stormkeeper every 15 seconds" power right off the bat, and I have a bad habit of frantically searching for an enemy to hit when a spell procs, so I spent a lot of the time playing whack-a-spell, especially since I have the boots that proc Lava Burst every time I hit Earth Shock, and Earth Shock procs super fast when I'm casting instant Chain Lightnings every 15 seconds. But then I also had to stop for pictures every time I noticed a creepy bit of decor, like this:


What even IS this? It's small, I probably should have gotten a picture of my Goblin beside it for scale, but she's definitely taller, I'd say it's companion pet sized. Is it a cell for some kind of pet that glows like it's exploding? I ignored a good many Stormkeeper procs to try to figure out what this was, and if there was anything I could rescue out of it or loot. So that was weird. Then there were the more typical skeletons lying around, but because everything seemed eerie I had to get pictures:



I saw another puddle of blood after this one that had something hanging above and dripping into it. Apparently I missed getting a picture of it, though, which made sense because when you stand around too long an enemy spawns on top of you; which actually worked well for me this time, since I always had a Stormkeeper proc ready to go.

Then there were the bodies/body parts hanging everywhere:



By the end of the run I was taking a closer look at everything, even this guy:



I had no idea Mawrats looked like this up close, but now I've looked it up and found out you can get Mawrat pets in various colors. So that will be a fun grind* for the next expansion(s). 

*Looking at you, Shadowclaw, Geomancer Flintdagger, Beastrider Kama, Skullripper, Knight Captain Aldrin, and Will of N'Zoth.

Who Knew?

 

If someone said three years from now
I'd be long gone,
I'd stand up and punch them out,
'Cause they're all wrong.
Thought I knew better
'Cause I said forever
And ever

*SQUEEE*


 I adore her. I had named her even before she was available and checked to see if the goal was met every time I opened the launcher. 


The Sprite Darter Wings kind of block her on my Night Elf Druid, but they work perfectly on Rocksy.

It's okay, Pepe. I don't get it, either, but it doesn't matter, it just works.

"OMG..For Real??? 'Cause...

Hey, I Just Met You...


..two floors before now. I'm kinda busy...and I hate your aura, pal." 


EDIT:  Stupid song is stuck in my head now and I have to finish this (from the beginning):
 
 (1)
"I want this run to be through, 'cause I've got quests left to do,
A couple pet battles, too. Hey, you're in my way!
Just want to get some good spells, so that this run won't be hell,
Give me an anima cell, and I'll be on my way.
(2)
'kay? I guess you like me? I'm..really busy fighting..
Here, have some chain lightning,
*Sigh* I should be finished with this.
(3)
<Hey, I just met you..two floors before now. 
I'm kinda busy, and I hate your aura, pal.>
(4)
It's hard to focus..keeps switching to you
So I'll just cast hex, then clear the last few.

Clever Girl

-OR-

She Can Dance if She Wants To


 I haven't been keeping up with the Shadowlands chores very well, but I managed to get partway through Torghast recently before I had to step away for a moment. I typed /dance as I went AFK and was shocked to see my Ghost Raptor had learned a new trick! After looking it up, I found that raptors had learned to dance in BfA, but it took me until now to notice. I'm proud of my raptor, but disappointed in myself for the long lapse in impromptu dancing.

Fun With Necromancy

I really wanted to joint the Revendreth covenant for several reasons:

  1. Their accent makes it sound like they are calling me "Mall Walker"
  2. The Dredgers say things like "Can I have your teeth when you die?"
  3. I enjoyed a lot of the questing there so far, like the tea party with Tubbins and Gubbins, and forging the "Letter of Condemnation"

 But in the end I chose the Necrolords for the Primordial Wave Shaman spell. I'm sure it will be fun, too (I'm particularly excited to try out the Abomination Factory), and I will still spend time with the Venthyr whenever I get the chance.

 


Questing to get to max level took me forever, so maybe that's why I seemed to enjoy the quests at the end the most, but I did like this Night Fae quest that had my character fly around doing the swimming animation while holding her breath like she was underwater:

♫Just keep swimming♫
