As the countdown to the patch runs, we are still doing Kara for badges and gear ups. I’m one of the few mains desperately trying to get my gear finished up. Simply because, oddly, my alts leveled before my main. Wierd circumstances, and too long a story to tell. But, she’s getting close. Chess however has been her nemesis. REFUSING to drop a certain pair of boots. except for that one time, when I rolled a friggin THREE! This run it seemed my luck was changing. Maiden dropped Mitts of the Treemender, Moroes dropped Duck Idol of the Avian Heart (useful in WOTLK finally), and even Netherspite felt generous and dropped Shining Chain of the Afterworld. But still, I trembled with trepidation going into chess. So, on my way to my water elemental I stopped by Medivh’s ghost.
/threaten with the wrath of doom
/slap Medivh
And…BINGO Forestlord Striders! I almost fainted. we almost had to call 911. Not for me, but because a certain real life friend and fellow guildie comes over vent with “Awww poor Jess. How many times has she tried, and those boots still haven’t dropped”. I grumbled at him something about rubbing it in. Then our Friendly Neighborhood Fim, announced that noone there would want these boots would they?? I rolled….and rolled a 9!!! Thank ELUNE I was the only leather wearer. Well except Fim’s rogue…with his bare feet.
And what about all that honor I built up this week? And those 40 Eye of the Storm marks? Well the honor was spent on Vindicator’s Band of Salvation to replace my LAST equipped blue, besides a couple Idols. 34 more badges of justice, and I’ll have her Grovewalker’s Leggings, and she’ll FINALLY be complete. And ready to head off into the expansion. This time…she is FIRST to level.
Woo, congrats!!
Hello, sorry to randomly post. I was reading your Doctor Doctor Gimme The News entry and I couldn’t help but put in a comment. The pain you described and frequency of attacks was something I went through almost a year ago. I went to the doctor’s a couple of times and they did ultrasound’s and it turned out to be gallstone’s. I remember I would get the attacks 2-3 times a week after eating. I would get pain that radiated from my abdomen and back and it was horrendous to breathe almost like what you described. I eventually had to get surgery and remove my gallbladder. If it is gallstone’s once you get surgery you’ll be feeling a ton better. It’s been almost a year since my surgery and i’m pain free
Congrat’s on your loot win. I found your website on another WoW blog I read. I’m a casual WoW player and I like reading other player’s blog’s. I always learn something from them. Again sorry for the random comment.
Good luck with everything else in game!
