Everything Happens For A Reason

That’s what my Mom always told me, and that’s what my shiney new healing cloak says too! That’s right, Kharmaa’s Shroud of Hope now belongs to Jessamyn! Thanks to a surprise run at Gruul tonight with another guild on our server. We took down HKM, and beat the drool out of Gruul, I was a bit dead in that screenshot. There was supposed to be a Mag run right after, but not enough of the right classes or something. I wasn’t really paying attention I was too busy going OMG MY FIRST GRUUL KILL!! We ended up all going to Shatt to repair, refill, etc. And I ran to get my cloak. That was when they made a decision. And I got so see another FIRST kill.

No, not The Blob. The Lurker!! I died on the first spout the first time. But thanks to some advice from our guild raid leader, I managed to survive the second attempt and be ALIVE when the big smelly slimeball fell. A couple guildies got great upgrades tonight, which is always a good thing. I only have 4 badges to my name at the moment, but hey, I saw two firsts in ONE night, AND got the cloak I’ve wanted for ages. Only 3 upgrades left for Miss Jessamyn, and I will be set. Her leather chess boots, a ring, a neck, and her 100 badge pants. I’m wearing cloth in the boot and leg slots now, and while I realize no I shouldn’t be getting hit, and armor shouldn’t matter, both are clear upgrades to what I’m wearing. And with WOTLK bring an armor bonus to tree form, the higher the better.

I also managed to get my priest back up to par, I just lack confidence in my healing on her right now. I’m going to work on that soon. I know I said I was shelving her with the Xpac, but right now, we kinda need holy priests, and if I can help out by having mine ready, I will. This guild has been so super in taking me in, making me feel welcome, it’s just my way of giving back.
