Hi everyone.
I'm having some "job troubles" to have enough time to keep up to date the blog.
If there's anyone out there who still read this blog or has ever read it and is so insanely mad that you want me to keep on writing I would really appreciate giving me a proof of your existence (read "post a comment").
If I don't get any answer I'll assume noone's reading this and stop updating it and focus only on the spanish version.
Hope to read your comments.
Bye

Travelling - Part 2 - Departure
We've just arrived from our travel. Arda got asleep on her feet just as she went across the door and I had to take her to her bed...
Sweet home...since we departed we've encountered many problems.
Ding-dong-ding
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Abyssal Airlines, where any place is reachable.
[Flight master]:> How many are travelling?
[Arda]:> 2 and baggage
[Flight master]:> Where are you going with all that bags? You can only take one bag per person weighting less than 20 kilos.
[Beregorn]:> Only one bag??? And what we do with the rest???
[Flight master]:> Our transports won't bear more than 20 kilos per traveller, if you take more theres is danger of crashing. We have a bank right here so you can let your things there
[Beregorn]:> But I need my arrows!!! And what about our pets? They can't fly neither? And our mounts?
[Flight master]:> They can, but they will go on another flight and with a recharge
[Arda]:> Ok, if there's no other option..........
...
[Flight master]:> Okay, pass through the arch.
[Flight master]:> First the lady, put all your metallic belongings on the tray.
[Arda]:> What did he call me!?
[Beregorn]:> Do as he says Arda...
The tray got quickly filled up with her watch, wallet, keys, belt and daggers.
She passed through the arch with no problem. Then it was my turn. I left my wallet, my arrow bag, my keys and went through the arch...
MEC!MEC!MEC!
[Flight master]:> Are you wearing anything metallic?
[Beregorn]:> Let me see....it must be the belt.....
MEC!MEC!MEC!
[Beregorn]:> Sorry, I forgot about my necklace....
MEC!MEC!MEC!
[Flight master]:> Sir, have you ever been operated of something in which they had to put you something metallic inside which would make the arch sound?
[Beregorn]:> No, but....
I had to hit a guard twice and my sister had to threat another two so they stopped laughing......yeah, the reason why the arch was beeping were my horseshoes...you won't be thinking that I am going to walk feet-naked all the day knowing all the spikes that are on the ground...
After a couple of hours we arrived to Northrend. It was a beautiful place, but a bit cold and people talked in a very strange language, though its accent reminded me that of my land.
Just as we mounted down we saw our bags and mounts coming in another flight. When they arrived we collected them and head towards the hotel.
It wasn't bad, it was a 4-murloc hotel, so it shouldn't be too bad. Once in the room I started unpackaging while Arda inspected the rest of the room. She went to the closet, to the other closet, to the kitchen, to the bath...
[Arda]:> AAAAHHH!!!!
CLONG!!!!
[Beregorn]:> Arda, are you all right?
[Arda]:> Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, it's just that there was a cockroach in the bath...
[Beregorn]:> Have you smashed it?
[Arda]:> More or less.....it's dead anyway...
[Beregorn]:> What have you done? >.>
[Arda]:> Kill it....
When I got to the bathroom I saw Arda trying to unstuck her dagger from the ground of the bath...
[Beregorn]:> You still surprise me sometimes with your brutality....
[Arda]:> What? It's dead, isn't it? problem solved...

Travelling - Part 1 - Getting ready
Hi there again friends. Today is my turn to write because Arda is very Busy... Always she has something to do she asks me to write...but you can't deny doing it...and even less today.
We're going on a travel, we depart this evening and she's making her baggage. You can imagine, I'm sure in the end she'll bring half of the house...
She's starting to get me stressed, she doesn't stop moving from one room to another, getting things and packaging them, the iTroll to listen to music, the MoltenLady to pluck her legs...she even takes the microwave to make popcorn!!!
[Arda]:> Bere, why are you looking at me like that?
[Beregorn]:> the microwave??? do you really thing we're gonna have any time to make popcorn?
[Arda]:> some popcorn are alwys welcomed no matter the hour
[Beregorn]:> .........
[Arda]:> Bere, which dagger fits better with this dress, the Malchazeen or the one from Romeo? Or maybe I should take the claw of Al'ar instead?
[Beregorn]:> the first one...
[Arda]:> and which boots should I take? high-heeled ones or those for mountain?
[Beregorn]:> the first one...
[Arda]:> are you even listening to me or you don't care a thing a say?
[Beregorn]:> the first one...
[Arda]:> ¬¬
[Arda]:> and when are you going to package your things?
[Beregorn]:> this afternoon, I'm not so slow doing it, I'll take just a few things
[Arda]:> yeah, leave it to the last moment and then you'll forget half of the things
[Beregorn]:> you know what? there is something I'll need, and you too...
[Beregorn]:> in Northrend it's gonna be very cold, why don't you go for a walk to the yeti's cave and bring some furs to make coats
[Arda]:> ok, but I'll take Viscosín so he can have a walk too
[Beregorn]:> ok, but don't come back late
I should've thought of that before...it's really quiet now...I'll package my things while she's out...
I start getting all of my things, I have a shower, I go on packaging things, I shave my face's tentacles and I finally get done with my package...and arda still hasn't arrived...
Well, I'll make some popcorns to make time...oh, wait, she has the microwave lost inside her bags ¬¬. Anyway, I'll watch TV for a while. 1 hour after Arda hasn't still arrived...it's strange, she doesn't come back so late when she gets out to kill mobs.
2 hours later she finally comes home really angry and insulting everyone and everything.
[Arda]:> $&$%&$%&!!! I hate everyone!!!
[Beregorn]:> hey hey, what happened? why are you so late?
[Arda]:> why I am so late? because people should learn to drive, nowadays everyone is given a mount! First a woman with a Dumbo Seat put just in front of me and I almost put my tiger's teeth inside its throat, later in a roundabout, having preference to get through it, a stupid in a Goatrrari didn't let me pass and I had to break strongly and roar at him. And to make it even worse traffic in IronForge is getting impossible, you can't almost drive because of so much noob on their mount and all the traficlights and roundabouts!!!
[Beregorn]:> and what where you doing at IronForge???
[Arda]:> I had to get my equip repaired and also buy a couple of things, and it's on the way to Alterac
[Beregorn]:> well, did you bring the furs?
[Arda]:> yes, but we'll have to sew some of them, maybe I should have stopped stabbing some of them earlier...they have extra ventilation...
The rest of the morning we spent it making sure we had everything in the bags (actually in my only bag and in her bagS). After checking we would need nothing we left at home (such as TV, the bath or the cooker) we left and went to our departure point, were we would take a flight to our destination.
PS: out of home until tuesday night, see you on wednesday

In the mines
When I still was level 17 or so (in Terenas) I remember one day my friend Erick told me:
[Erickblack]:> hey Arda, come to deadmines
[Arda]:> hmmmm, ok, where's that?
[Erickblack]:> Westfall, follow me
Erickblack invites you to a group
[Erickblack]:> Hi Arda
[Mage]:> hi arda
[Priest]:> hello
[Tank]:> hi
[Arda]:> hi everyone
[Arda]:> what are all these people doing here?
[Erickblack]:> it's the party, for deadmines
[Arda]:> but what's there in deadmines?
[Erickblack]:> deadmines is an instance
[Arda]:> a what?
[Erickblack]:> .......
[Erickblack]:> it's a place filled up with elite mobs in which your get XP and bosses drop very good loot
[Arda]:> aaaahm, ok....I follow you
Knowing what deadmines was we went there. At the beginning it seemed like any other mines, but a tunnel had a strangee glow, which they told me it was the instance entrance, so there we went all together.
On the other side of the entrance all the miners and the other players had disappeared, we were the 5 of us alone. The first thing I thought when we were alone was: "Wow, the priest's staff is really cool!!!..." (Haidem I think he was named) "...with a glowing skull!!! I thought priests wouldn't have skulls ornaments..."
Ahead there was a room with a lot of miners, all of them hostiles and members of an illegal organization being pursued by the law. We started killing them gradually...
[Haidem]:> Arda, give the tank a few seconds before you start hitting the mobs
[Arda]:> why?
[Cynamon]:> because of the aggro
[Cynamon]:> when we hit we build up aggro and the mob goes for the higher in the aggro list
[Haidem]:> so before you hit it...
Arda hits the miner
You are dead
[Haidem]:> ...let the tank get some aggro
When the room was empty something that I couldn't understand happened...as if everyone knew what they had to do, each member of the party got on an empty wagon...I shrugged my shoulders and got on the last one. Haidem took the lead and got on the first on foot(the rest of us were sat) and all at once started to make a gesture with the hand as if pulling something from above and making the sound of a train.
At that moment I didn't know its meaning...now I do...the explanation is at reach of anyone's hand, and is summed up in one single sentence: "are crazy these romans"
We kept going killing boss after boss, and after opening a door with a cannon (BOOM!!!) we found ourselves in a huge flooded cavern with an enormous ship in the middle.
We made our way to the top of the ship and we saw the captain...and he was a rogue...
[Arda]:> you must be kidding
[everyone]:> ¿??¿?¿?¿?
[Arda]:> do you really want me to kill a rogue? why don't I make the arakiri to myself directly?
[Erickblack]:> don't be so concerned, he is with the bad guys
[Arda]:> it desn't matter, you should be ashamed Erick, treasoning your own workmates this way!!!
[Haidem]:> okay okay, calm down. Look, this is the boss of all the villains walking around here and won't want any good to us nor to your workmates
[Arda]:> and how can we kno??? did anyone ask him?!?!?!
[Arda]:> I'm surrounded by racists
[Arda]:> intolerants
[Erickblack]:> Arda, you can get his shoulderpads and his helmet when he is dead
[Arda]:> raci.....
[Erickblack]:> and he drops money, besides the money from the quest
Arda charges Van Cleef
Van Cleef hits you for 220
Your sinister strike hits Van Cleef for 25
Van Cleef hits you for 173
You are dead
In the end the only thing we got was the gold (which I used on repairs), because Cynamon burned all his clothes and nothing could be used. That day I learnt rogues are meant to die, even though you have people protecting you.
[Erickblack]:> hey Arda, come to deadmines
[Arda]:> hmmmm, ok, where's that?
[Erickblack]:> Westfall, follow me

Loyalty?
What a wonderful spring evening in Stranglethorn. The sun shines, the birds sing, the panthers kill lost adventurers, frogs do their little sound, murlocs make that annoy......wait.....murlocs? In stranglethorn there ar no murlocs!!!
Aaaah, I'm in heaven.
I've just decided I'm moving here, somwhere far from the road and near the beach I'll build a hut for me alone (though with a double be, you can never know).
This is a good place. I'll build the door towards the sea so I an see the sunset. Even better, I'll build it on that tree so animals don't get inside it. Besides, I'll see the river to the south. In the mornings I'll go to that waterfall in the north to get water. Wait, what's moving behind the waterfall? Oh my god.....it can't be true.....not again....
Outside the waterfall I find Noche, a feline old friend of mine. He doesn't attack me because he knows me from past adventures. I don't want to look inside the waterfall, but I force myself to do it.
And there he is...as I suspected...Kaamos...on the shoulders of...bfrhgrhgfhgf-chofff(vomit noise falling in the water). It all started a few months ago...
[Kaamos]:> Let's go Angels, tonight we'll finish it!!!
[Squalid]:> We can if we think we can
[Arda]:> Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
[Kaamos]:> yeah, you'll be dead in a moment, don't be impatient Arda...
Everything was going well. We started to kill one by one all the bosses in the zone, we started by the bat, moved on to the snake, then the spider and the hunter with his raptor. The tiger and the panther followd. And there were we, at the foot of the piramid. Slowly we went upwards until we reached the top where a horrific being was waiting for us. Only its evil was greater than its uglyness. We were facing the god Hakkar, which only wish was to rule over the whole world. He already controlled a little part of Stranglethorn, the ruins of Zul'Gurub, but he wanted more and more....
[Kaamos]:> Is everyone ready? (readycheck)
[Haidem]:> r
[Khareesa]:> r
[Cynamon]:> ready
[Kaamos]:> keep your strength for him!!!
[Kaamos]:> Go go go go go !!!!!!
Gradually we found that Hakkar's attacks were getting weaker and his defenses were lowering slowly. We were at a critical moment. Some friends had died, we couldn't loose one more if we wanted to take the beast down. Then it happened...
[Hakkar]:> NOW KAAMOS!!!
[Everyone]:> ¿?¿?¿?
Kaamos runs next to Hakkar and starts throwing multishots for 1500 damage and arcanes for 700 damage and orders Noche to attack everyone.
Noche starts hitting and biting.
Haidem dies.
Paladín1 dies.
You are dead.
[Kaamos]:> Die, you cowards!!! Weak and filthy mortals!!!
[Arda]:> Kaamos, what are you saying? why did you do that?
[Kaamos]:> You wouldn't understand it...
[Arda]:> try explaining it to me
[Kaamos]:> all this time bearing your stupidities...
[Kaamos]:> so vain deaths because of your clumsyness...
[Kaamos]:> all that to be here...
[Kaamos]:> since I first heard about Hakkar I knew it was my sin to be with him, to conquer the world, to be the right hand of the lord of the world
[Squalid]:> Kaamos don't do it! what about the children!?
[Khareesaa]:> and their mothers!?
[Kaamos]:> and now I'm in front of him I know this is what I must do
[Arda]:> what's happened to you? you've never been this way before
[Kaamos]:> that's what I wanted you to think
[Arda]:> I know you, you would never stand being anyone's puppet
[Kaamos]:> on that you're right. As soon as Hakkar is crowned king of the world I'll kill him and be myself Ruler of Azeroth
[Arda]:> how can you do this to us? after all we've done for you and fighted by your side...after all the adventures we've been through...I can't believe you
[Kaamos]:> I told you you wouldn't understand it
[Arda]:> it's true, I can't understand it
[Arda]:> that thing washed your brain, but I know there's something left inside you of the old Kaamos...
[Arda]:> do it for Noche...do you think Hakkar will let your cares be divided between him and Noche?
[Arda]:> he won't risk to it, he'll kill Noche so he has all your time, Noche would only be a distraction in the future
[Kaamos]:> you won't convince me, I'll reign with Hakkar and Noche will be by my side!!!
[Kaamos]:> there's nothing you can do or say to convince me
[Arda]:> I'll invite you to a steak with chips if you leave him
Since that day we didn't know anything about Hakkar.
Until now...there is Kaamos, on Hakkar's shoulders, playing like a couple of youngs in love...just next to where my new house was going to be built (this image will be hard to forget, and even more if I have to come here everyday).
I'm feeling the need to come in and tell Kaamos to remember when he promised us he would never see Hakkar again. But both the remembrance of Hakkar crying and the image of two old "friends" enjoying fill me up and I decide to leave them in piece.......
5 more minutes...there will be time to argue later...
it's not like they're doing something wrong, is it?
is it?
what are they doing now? nooooooooooooooooooo, it can't be!!! aaaaaaaaaaaahj, that's disgusting
If you need me I'll be right there vomiting over and over.
Aaaah, I'm in heaven.

Kaamos runs next to Hakkar and starts throwing multishots for 1500 damage and arcanes for 700 damage and orders Noche to attack everyone.
Noche starts hitting and biting.
Haidem dies.
Paladín1 dies.
You are dead.
[Kaamos]:> Die, you cowards!!! Weak and filthy mortals!!!
[Arda]:> Kaamos, what are you saying? why did you do that?
[Kaamos]:> You wouldn't understand it...
[Arda]:> try explaining it to me
[Kaamos]:> all this time bearing your stupidities...
[Kaamos]:> so vain deaths because of your clumsyness...
[Kaamos]:> all that to be here...
[Kaamos]:> since I first heard about Hakkar I knew it was my sin to be with him, to conquer the world, to be the right hand of the lord of the world
[Squalid]:> Kaamos don't do it! what about the children!?
[Khareesaa]:> and their mothers!?
[Kaamos]:> and now I'm in front of him I know this is what I must do
[Arda]:> what's happened to you? you've never been this way before
[Kaamos]:> that's what I wanted you to think
[Arda]:> I know you, you would never stand being anyone's puppet
[Kaamos]:> on that you're right. As soon as Hakkar is crowned king of the world I'll kill him and be myself Ruler of Azeroth
[Arda]:> how can you do this to us? after all we've done for you and fighted by your side...after all the adventures we've been through...I can't believe you
[Kaamos]:> I told you you wouldn't understand it
[Arda]:> it's true, I can't understand it
[Arda]:> that thing washed your brain, but I know there's something left inside you of the old Kaamos...
[Arda]:> do it for Noche...do you think Hakkar will let your cares be divided between him and Noche?
[Arda]:> he won't risk to it, he'll kill Noche so he has all your time, Noche would only be a distraction in the future
[Kaamos]:> you won't convince me, I'll reign with Hakkar and Noche will be by my side!!!
[Kaamos]:> there's nothing you can do or say to convince me
[Arda]:> I'll invite you to a steak with chips if you leave him
Kaamos stands in the middle of both fighters (Hakkar and the raid) facing th raid with his arms raised
[Kaamos]:> Wait!!! Leave me alone with him a moment!!!
Kaamos goes close to Hakkar
Hakkar lowers his head to the height og Kaamos
Kaamos wispers something to Hakkar
[Haidem]:> I don't trust him, be careful in case he attacks back
Kaamos gets away from Hakkar towards the raid
[Kaamos]:> Let's go...he won't annoy us anymore...
[Hakkar]:> AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!
[Cynamon]:> there he comes!
[Haidem]:> I knew...
[Arda]:> watch out! he's throwing at us some kind of rain, it must be acid!!!
[Kaamos]:> leave him alone...he won't hurt you
Since that day we didn't know anything about Hakkar.
Until now...there is Kaamos, on Hakkar's shoulders, playing like a couple of youngs in love...just next to where my new house was going to be built (this image will be hard to forget, and even more if I have to come here everyday).
I'm feeling the need to come in and tell Kaamos to remember when he promised us he would never see Hakkar again. But both the remembrance of Hakkar crying and the image of two old "friends" enjoying fill me up and I decide to leave them in piece.......
5 more minutes...there will be time to argue later...
it's not like they're doing something wrong, is it?
is it?
what are they doing now? nooooooooooooooooooo, it can't be!!! aaaaaaaaaaaahj, that's disgusting
If you need me I'll be right there vomiting over and over.

The Weather Machine
Damned weather...
One second it's sunny the other it's pouring. But no matter the weather you always find some goblins come out of noone knows where (it's strongly believed some of them live under rocks) wishing to sell you whatever you need; caps if sunny, umbrellas if raining. I even saw a goblin at the entrance of WinterSpring which wanted to sell me some chains for my tiger paws...
Either goblins are ready for whichever the weather is or they are allied with the nagas, some of them capablo of creating little storms, but they always have what you need at the moment.
Decided as I was to investigate this fact, I headed towards Zangar, a place inhabited by the nagas. I told some friends and we went to the nagas' lair, the SteamVault, where their General of War was hidden.
We started wandering through the tunnels until we came upon a room. There we found a big naga with 2 elementals protecting her.
[Arda]:> let's get her while she doesn't see us
[Kaamos]:> but who is she?
[Paulbazo]:> does anyone know anything about her?
[Haidem]:> oh shit, I can see it more clearly now......
[Anzakness]:> what? have you finally fixed your cataract?
[Haidem]:> ¬¬
[Haidem]:> She's the Hydromantic Thespia. She has the power of creating small storms with little rain and a strong wind, but that was in small lakes. I can't imagine what she could so much water there is around here.
[Arda]:> Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
[Kaamos]:> Okay then, don't wear anything metallic on the head nor anything too high just in case she creates a storm.
[Anzakness]:> She won't have time to create nothing, I'll rip her tongue out of her mouth and then I'll make her eat it before she can say a thing
[Paulbazo]:> okay then......ataaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!
We through into battle as if possessed by a blood thirst, we went mad, we knew what we were doing but we everything was on "automatic mode". Things started well, we killed the 2 elementals and we soon began to see the jelly blood drop on her scales from the wounds caused by our weapons and teeth.
Suddenly everything went dark and some clouds started appearing above us. Thunders started being heard as the clouds crashed with other clouds.
[Arda]:> Come on!!! Give her everything, she's weak!!!
A lightnin comes down from a cloud, reaches the dagger in the raised hand of Arda while cheering his friends and hits and hits Arda for 5274
You are dead
[Arda]:> tell this girl for me that I hate her
A lightning comes down from a cloud and hist kaamos for 529
[Kaamos]:> uff, how good that i brought my wooden bow...
[Hydromantic Thespia]:> Aaaahhhrggggg!!!!
[Hydromantic Thespia]:> You can kill me, but you won't succeed!!!
[Anzakness]:> and why does that mob talk in our group chat?
[Hydromantic Thespia]:> another one will take my place!!!
Hydromantic Thespia dies
We got out of there with a bitter taste due to her last words.
We should find the source of this, and we should kill it quickly. We went deeper into the sewers and came upon a big room where a robot was taking care of a machine wich looked like a water purifier.
After getting done with the robot and a bad feeling inside us we headed to the General of War's room (the map on the wall said it was the northern room). Soon we arrived. But he was waiting for us, he had seen us through the surveillance cameras.
[Khalithres]:> You're finally here...
[Anzakness]:> very observant(another one who comes in our chat)
[Kaamos]:> we know what you are doing and we come to stop you
[Arda]:> Yes, we know you ar planning to create storms using nagas to kill the smurfs and David the gnome!!!
[Khalithres]:> Poor fool
[Paulbazo]:> Leet it go Arda, don't hurt yourself...
[Khalithres]:> And that's all you know???
[Haidem]:> We know what you want to do Kalithres. We won't let you keep on changing the weather to turn al the living world into a marsh for your nagas.
[Khalithres]:> Stupid elfves!!! You think you know everything but have no idea
[Khalithres]:> If I cause these sharp changes in the weather, it has nothing to do with that you say, but with gold
[Anzakness]:> I am so causing you a "sharp change", but in your face.
[Khalithres]:> You don't know the money those goblins earn taking advantage of people's needs. I've allied with them and I earn a part for each cap and umbrella they sell!!! My benefits have been multiplied 5 times!!!
[Anzakness]:> screw you!
[Kaamos]:> Even though you'll pay for all that gold you've earned in a slightly inmoral way, we won't let you go on with the stealing!!
[Arda]:> Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
[Paulbazo]:> Okay Arda, we kill him now...
We threw ourselves to him as a hungry pack of hounds over a little defenseless barbequed pork with some cooked potatoes and a great Caesar's Salad......
[Arda]:> I'll go to eat something...
[Haidem]:> But if we are in the middle of a combat!!!
Arda is AFK:calming down my inner beast
[Kaamos]:> ....
Annoying random lightning from Khalithres hits Arda for 3643
The cure Haidem doesn't cast on Arda doesn't reach Arda and doesn't heal Arda anything
You are dead
Well, at least we killed the one that caused the climate change...

Ways of dying
Have you ever wondered why we die? Or why can we resurrect?
We die because our life points drop to 0 and we resurrect because a blizzard employee pointed out one priest in angel form for each zone in the game (sometimes more than one) and condemned them to resurrect all the dead chars by giving them 1 point of life and a ghost form so they could go back to their corpses. These are the so called resurrection angels, which interface is limited to a list of the dead chars and a single button to resurrect them...
one by one
But friends, dying is an art. After my walks over this world I've discovered there are many ways to die:
1.- Natural death
This is the most common of all. It usually (though not always) happens when your heart stops, your brains get out of your head or any mob puts your life to 0 and puts any pointy weapon through you. ie:
Skettis Guard hits you for 583
Skettis Guard hits you for 1592
Your sinister strike hits Skettis Guard for 637
Skettis Guard calls his pet
Skettis Guard's pet pull your eyes out of your face
Skettis Guard puts his spear inside you and puts you over a fire as if you were a pig
2.- One-hit death
It's similar to the number 1 but usually caused by elite mobs, which, due to the seize of their weapons aren't able tu put it through you and what they do is turn you to a stamp.ie:
Gruul hits you for 34583
3.- Post-combat death
Already detailed in some post, is when you die after your opponent dies (if you manage to kill him) and you still have a DoT or maybe it drops some AoE after it dies and you don't have time to evade it. It's usually caused by warlocks.ie:
Warlock casts Corruption on Arda
Your sinister strike hits Warlock for 1534
Warlock casts Death coil on Arda
Mortal Poison hits Warlock for 353
Warlock dies
Death coil hits you for 420
Death coil hits you for 420
Are you dead yet or you want another tick?
4.- Test death
This one happens when you are very bored and/or you don't have nothing better to do and you start wondering things like:
How much will I get hurt if I go up to the top with my gryphon and I fall to the lowest plain...?
And how much if I fall from SSC lift...?
Will I die if I jump down from the Aldor zone in Shattrath...?
Will I be able to kill by myself an elite for a mision tagged for 5 people...?
If I jump from up here I'm sure I will reach the lake...
5.- Clumsy death
It happens in the same cases than the preceding point but, with the difference that you don't do it out of boredom but for your profound clumsyness or walking too near the edge of the platform.
6.- Treason death
Detailed with an examplo in this post:
http://arda-deadagain.blogspot.com/2008/02/betrayed.html
7.- Lag death
It happens when you have a retarded conexion and you se the game at 3fps, causing you to watch the first 3 seconds of combat and then staying there on your feet looking threatening to your opponent, killing yourselves with your looks about 20 seconds, after which you appear in the floor with your opponent's spear sticked through some part of your body.
8.- Disconnection death
Similar to the Lag death, but this time you are in combat with any mob and suddenly you get a message in your screen:
Disconnected from server
Log in again
The first thing you see as you enter the world is the resurrection angel.
But all these deaths have something in common. The end. All of them finish with a definitory sentence:

Hunting
I'm very tired. I've been the whooooole morning killing animals. As soon as I came to Nagrand I found my old friend Nesingwary (this guy must be really quick, because I came back to Stranglethorn and there he was, and when I HStoned back to Nagrand there he was again) with a Tauren and another Dwarf.
When I reached their camp they started asking me to kill threatening talbuks, rocs which beaks were used as knives and claws as adorns and those big things for a bbq.
Damn outland inhabitants, all the time asking you to do things, as if I had nothing better to do or I was wearing something telling: "I make your errands" ........ if my parents saw me as an "errand-woman"....
So I've killing the whole morning to get the things those people wanted and now I'm going to the camp back...and what would you say it happens? they thank me? nooooo, the "sirs" are not happy.....
[Arda]:> I'm back, here you have all your things, I'll go rest for a while below that tree
[Nesingwary]:> Arda, these beaks are too weak and the claws are very used, I need more of them, but get them from another rocs which are stronger and further.
[Tauren]:> Arda, I've been informed thata there are other talbuks causeing problems in the other border of the map. Be careful because the y have bigger horns and thicker hoofs.
[Dwarf]:> Puajh!! these ribs are awful Arda, it makes a lot of time these animals don't drink clear water. Go to the Charmed Lake behind the Stormy Mountains through the Angry Dragon's Lair, and there, in the highest room of the highest tower you'll find what I'm looking for.
[Arda]:> ........
[Arda]:> ¬¬
[Arda]:> I hate all of you
I rested for a while and ate a couple of the ribs I had brought. They weren't SO bad as the dwarf said (must remember: go the dentist to put my 2 teeth back into my mouth). After I slept a while I went to the 3 most distant borders of the map the had told me those.......persons to keep on killing animals (I even pitied some of them when they looked up at me with their shiny eyes as I ripped their guts, ribs and/or claws out of them).
By sunset I was done and on my way to the camp. When I arrived it was dark and they had lit on a fire. I threw the bags full of the things they wanted at their feet (well, the dwarfes received them in the face, you know...) and I looked for a piece of grass on the floor to lay on and sleep.
[Arda]:> There you got it, I'm going to sleep now, I've been the whole day running from one place to another.
[Nesingwary]:> Arda...
[Arda]:> NO!!!
[Nesingwary]:> I would need a final piece for my necklace and my knives. I would need the beak and claws of the Roc Queen. She usually gets out at night, and it's black, so she shouldn't be hard to spot out.
[Arda]:> Are you kidding? You're telling me I've been killing the whole day to make you a necklace and a cutlery?!?!?!?!?!
[Tauren]:> Arda, I've been told the Talbuk King has gone out of his lair, it's the moment we were waiting for, you must kill it!!! either way he won't stop killing murlocs.
[Arda]:> WaitWaitWait, you're telling me I've been the whole day helping incontrolled murloc spreading? If you need me I'll be over there hanging me from that tree with a gallows...
[Dwarf]:> Well, I need your help. There's a really big beast which must have very succulent ribs, it would be the perfect dessert for my Taru.
[Arda]:> Who is Taru?
[Enano]:> He is my gnome pet.
[Arda]:> This brain will be autodestroyed in 10 seconds
[Arda]:> 9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...
[Arda]:> ..............BOOM!!!!!..............
I hate dwarfs.
I hate Taurens.
I hate Murlocs.
I hate everyone that ask you to do stupid things with a more stupid purpose.
And, of course, I hate stupid pets named after even more stupid creatures from another games.

Betrayed
Yesterday I knew there's a worse death than that caused for your own clumsiness, worse than those in which you've just killed your opponent but you see your life dropping fast and you can't do anything, even worse than when you fall in the lift hole at SSC and you see all your mates laughing and walking past you and noone raises you. Worse even than the humiliating fact of being killed by a murloc.
Yesterday I died treasoned. And even worse, I was not the only one.
Love must be in the air (that or Leotheras is really atractive to some people) because each time Leotheras looked directly to somenone, he inmediately started hitting the rest of us.
The first who fell to his spell was a druid.
Feral...
Imagine a mad bear thinking we are full of honey inside and you'll be able to imagine more or less the scene...
Leotheras looks at mad feral Druid.
Mad feral Druid take blue, guiltless Priest's guts out of her body.
Everyone attack mad feral Druid.
Mad feral Druid hits Warrior.
Mad feral Druid hurts her paw and teeth.
Mad feral Druid dies.
[Mad feral druid]:> why did u kill me?
[Todos]:> coz u treasoned us!!! ¬¬
But this only was the beginning. The thing started to get worse and worse...
Leotheras looks at Tank.
Tank starts hitting here and there with his sword..
Here dies.
There dies.
Squalid hits Tank back.
Tank dies with Squalid's sword into his mind (quite literally).
It was then that we got a bit relaxed, but suddenly Leotheras started spinning with his sword aimed towards us, running through all the room. When he stopped we all went to hurt him.
I started using my best abilities and knowledge of my skills, I tried to pull his eyes out (there must be something behind that bandage, and if there isn't this will hurt him more), I came to his back to cut his ankles off. And all of a sudden...
You are dead
[Arda]:> I must have taken a hit from Leotheras sword's back...
[Squalid]:> Yeaaaaahhhh.......maybe......
I didn't like that tone and I started lookin the combat log before it got lost. And there it was, It hadn't been Leotheras...
Leotheras looks at Squalid
Squalid twinks an eye to Leotheras
Leotheras wets his lips very provocative while looking at Squalid
Squalid kills you
You are dead
[Arda]:> Squ...
[Squalid]:> yep?
[Arda]:> Don't you have to tell me anything?
[Squalid]:> I don't know....anything about what?
[Arda]:> I don't know....something realetd to the fact that YOU PUT YOR 3 METER LONG SWORD RIGHT INTO MY CHEST?!?!?!?!?!??!
[Squalid]:> oh, that, didn't think you'd mind xD
[Arda]:> Don't worry, is a very common thing. There's no day that I wake up without thinking:
[Arda]:> "Hey!!! I really fell like someone putting a 3 meter long sword into my chest!!!!!!"
Then I understoo everything. I knew the hidden power of Leotheras, the reason why everyone started changing to his side. I discovered the great mental power this being had.
Leotheras looks at Arda
[Leotheras]:> Kill Khareesa
[Arda]:> Hey boy, I'm dead
[Leotheras]:> I'll give you 5g if you kill her
[Arda]:> Can anyone raise me?
You know, in the end we all have a price...
Yesterday I died treasoned. And even worse, I was not the only one.
Love must be in the air (that or Leotheras is really atractive to some people) because each time Leotheras looked directly to somenone, he inmediately started hitting the rest of us.
The first who fell to his spell was a druid.
Feral...
Imagine a mad bear thinking we are full of honey inside and you'll be able to imagine more or less the scene...
Leotheras looks at mad feral Druid.
Mad feral Druid take blue, guiltless Priest's guts out of her body.
Everyone attack mad feral Druid.
Mad feral Druid hits Warrior.
Mad feral Druid hurts her paw and teeth.
Mad feral Druid dies.
[Mad feral druid]:> why did u kill me?
[Todos]:> coz u treasoned us!!! ¬¬
But this only was the beginning. The thing started to get worse and worse...
Leotheras looks at Tank.
Tank starts hitting here and there with his sword..
Here dies.
There dies.
Squalid hits Tank back.
Tank dies with Squalid's sword into his mind (quite literally).

At serpent's lair
Yesterday I couldn't write due to many things, but basically these two:
-Had no time
-Was very busy and concentrated on getting ready for the challenge we were facing that night... a visit to the sewers
Tonight we were going to make our first visit to Karathress. We met, as usual, in the door to the sewers, hidden behind a waterfall. When we were ready we went straight to the lift. When it started moving downwards an unlicky mage which was getting on the platform only found air under his feet. When he wanted to react it was too late. A voice said "someone's gonna die". And so it was, after hundreds of feet of free fall the only thing left of the mage was a stain on the floor. We continued walking from one platform to another, when suddenly whe heard our leader say "damn! I fell again into the water!!!". This was going to vi a very funny night.
Whe finally arrived to our host's room. It was full of elementals we started killing one by one without even stopping to think if they had feelings or what do clouds smell like. This beings should die as soon as possible, because they spit poison and when they die they lay down a poisoning gas cloud over their body.
Venom Colossus dies
[Leader]:> everyone out of there, he threw the cloud!
Every melee get away from 10 (Arda) to 50 meters (Kaamos)
Gas Cloud from Colossus hits you for 1734
Gas Cloud from Colossus hits you for 2534
You are dead
[Arda]:> Hey! I was far from it!!
[Arda]:> Damned gas spreading ¬¬
This was my first death of the night, one of the called "post-combat deaths", being these those which happen when your enemy is dead but he let you with a DoT that finishes you (usually warlock's), kind of when the Balrog fell to the deep of Khazad Dhum and pulled Gandalf with it. One day I'll tell you about the ways in which you can die.
As we were talking with Karathress and after wiping some times I heard something which rithm made me remember nice things.
[Rogue]:> Totem...
[Rogue]:> Totem.......
[Rogter]:> Totel.......
[Runter]:> Toall........
[Hunter]:> Ball.......
[Hunmos]:> The next he gets Evocation
[Kaamos]:> Ball and Evocation, burn it down and move on to Curator!!!
You are dead
And don't come asking why
But it's rained since then. Now we're here, step by step each week, facing sewers and storms. And yet noone's still dared facing us for more than two following weeks . And this viper won't make a difference. It will eventually fall ,sooner or later, but it will fall.

Arda's cleansing (in Darkshore)
As soon as I reached Darkshore I felt something was wrong in the forest. I came from Darnassus, where everything is pure and clean, and Darkshore caused in me a strange feeling. It was a dark and shadowy place, where you must be very careful if you don't want to be killed by some merciless creature.
The first thing I saw was Auberdine, where I found there were a lot of troubles to be solved.
A short time ago a strange being had arrived (or get out of their caves, or evolved) and was poisoning the whole place. Animals became very aggresive, they attacked anyone who would walk near them. They all were ill, but nothing was known about this illness.
Given my generosity (read:thirst for power, mony and xp) and the fact that my help was needed, I decided to help hem, so I went into the forest quickly. My first purpose was to purify (read:stab&kill) every living being afflicted by the strange illness. As soon as I entered the woods I found a creature for which I would have no mercy.
I started backstabbing it as only I know, and between two hits I saw someone coming out of Auberdine running towards me and yelling.
[Auberdine's Guard]:> Ardaaaaa!!!!
[Arda]:> Don't worry, this creature won't keep on destroying your forest.
[Auberdine's Guard]:> No! Wait!! I gotta tell you something!!!
Arda cuts her enemy's throat and ends it with a direct dagger to its heart
Auberdine's Guard arrives by Arda's side and stays stunned in horror
[Arda]:> Done, one less, let the others come!!! Who's next?
[Arda]:> Well, What did you want to tell me?
[Auberdine's Guard]:> THAT you have just killed...
[Arda]:> Yeah, you don't have to thank me, that's what I'm here for, to get rid of these creatures.
[Auberdine's Guard]:> No, that's not the point...
[Arda]:> ahm...then what?
[Arda]:> Spit it out.
[Auberdine's Guard]:> He was your guide...
[Arda]:> I knew a bear couldn't speak elven so well...
[Arda]:> Well, doesn't matter, I'll work it out alone, I'm like a living compass...
It mustn't be so hard to find the North in a forest, isn't it?
Isn't it?
I have a map and a compass (besides a macro telling me the coords and an addon which tells the coords of the pointer over the map). Having this in mind I went deep into the forest killing everything that got in my way: the new race on the zone, panthers, bears, imps, demons, deers, furbolgs, birdies, nagas, bunnies...yes, bunnies. Those little demonic beings with long ears always twitching their noses and eating carrots all the time (you can never know what tey're up to those little things).
Eventually I arrived to a beach. It was perfect, because I needed a rest for all the killing and stabbing done had tired me a bit. I hid my clothes carefully (don't ever underestimate the skill of rogues hiding things) and I got a relaxing bath. Except that damend murloc-like sound (damn, I hate those things).
Getting out of the water I saw someone not too far. I went to ask him if he knew how to come back to Auberdine, I had had enough killing and my compass got broken in the water (damned electronic compasses...). When I got there I saw it was a goblin with a robot beside him.
He looked troubled, and instantly talked to me:
[Goblin]:> Elf, you gotta help me!
[Arda]:> Calm down and tell me what happens. And don't ever call me that again, I have a name
[Goblin]:> Ok, sorry elf.
[Arda]:> ¬¬
[Goblin]:> It's my robot! I think he got too much sun or maybe some sand got into his circuits, the thing is that every few minutes, he becomes aggressive and hits me and I gotta run away.
[Goblin]:> Pleas, help me fix it. You can protect me as I look at the panel on its back....will you do it?
[Arda]:> I'm very tired and I was just on my way to the inn...
[Goblin]:> I'll pay you
[Arda]:> What are we waiting for?
Arda accepts the quest "What's the problem with the robot?" (Elite)
[Arda]:> hey dude, what means a quest is elite? how is it different from a normal one?
Broken Robot gets activated and runs towards you
[Erickblack]:> that means the mob you gotta kill is elite
Broken Robot hits you for 275
Your Sinister Strike hits Broken Robot for 35
Broken Robot hits you for 215
You're dead
[Erickblack]:> you need to be some levels above the mob's or be in a party with more people
[Arda]:> don't tell me more, and he hits harder, does'nt it?
I ran back to my body to take vengeance. It had to die for what it had done. As soon as I was ready I ran to it, but this time I knew what I was facing, so I standed my ground for one more hit than before.
At the fifth try I remembered I had to come back tooooo.......the inn tooooo......dooooo.........something. Really. It's death would have to wait for the next day (or the next week, or the next month).
5 hours later I found the path that led to the crossroads of the path wich crosses the main road which starts in Auberdine.
I arrived to the inn and got into bed to take my well deserved rest.
What did we learn today, kids?
Two main things:
1.- Don't kill your guide
2.- If you see the word "élite" you'd better run away

Do you noob?
Hi everyone, I'm new over here. My name's Beregorn, and I am a blue skinned hunter with russian accent.
Arda coudln't write here so she asked me to write something...as if I was a writer or something...
Anyway, I'm going to tell you about an increasing species on our paths: the Van damme generetion (or the MA's, or the Willy Toledo's, all of them).
Who the hell came up with the idea? Okay, the ad is cool and so, but, who thought about the others players who have been playing for a long time?
Right now as you read this there are players dying of cerebral embolism caused by someone from this species.
Not long ago, I was in the Blood Furnace, everything was going well, and then the 2nd boss dropped a blue gun much better than my stick bow.
[Beregorn]:> Yes!!!
Beregorn selects need for the gun
Chamán passes passes for the gun
Druida passes for the gun
[Chamán]:> Gratz Bere!
[Druida]:> Weee, gratz!!!
[Guerrero]:> Can I 'need'?
[Beregorn]:> Wait, it's a hunter's gun...
Tank Warrior selects need for the gun
[Beregorn]:> ........
Priest passes for the gun
Beregorn rolls 26 for the gun
Tank Warrior rolls 75 for the gun
Tank Warrior awarded the damned gun
[Beregorn]:> Why did you need it? It's a hunter gun!!!
[Guerrero]:> I use it to pull the mobs
[Priest]:> It's a free roll, besides, noone said he couldn't get it
I wish I could have changed to the horde por a while to camp and gank them merciless. At that moment the only thing that put my thirst of blood away was the thinking of doing the same thing to him in the final boss with a tank sword because "I use to to wear it on my back".
Another day in which I almost die of crazyness was looking for a party to ZF while questing on Tanaris (I won't give names, so I've changed the idiot name for something completely random and unrelated):
[1.General:Tanaris][Noob]: rogue for zf and go!!!
[Beregorn]: will you do with a hunter?
[Noob]: we are already 2 in the aprty sorry :(
[Beregorn]: I see, ok, but anyway I only need the quests done, no loot
[Beregorn]: I mean, I would pass on everything
[Noob]: pass¿
[Beregorn]: yes, in the loot, I would hit pass
[Beregorn]: for you
[Noob]: what would pass¿¿ (in spanish the same word for pass and happen)
[Beregorn]: That I would pass on the rolls for them
[Noob]: then why don't you go alone,?
[Noob]: either you're gonna have trouble with the party
[Beregorn]: why am I gonna have trouble? I can't alone because they're elites
[Beregorn]: and troubles none, the other way exactly, I would let you get all the loot
[Noob]: doesn't matter doesn't matter good luck!
Seriously, stop making ads on TV, they are fine-lookin, but anytime a noob gets into the player a "veteran" dies a little inside.

A trip to The Eye
Long time has gone since my first death, followed by contless others. I've been killed by every living being from Azeroth, from humans hidden in ther dark caves to dragons which get angry for me taking one or two of their eggs...
...or maybe 4 or 5...
...or 10...
Nothing to do with this, have you ever tried fried dragon eggs with boar porks? delicious
Anyway, long time has gone since that first death and Ive learned many things about how, when and where to die. Sometimes I even manage to avoid death, is a hard skil I've been working on for months...
So here I am.
Laying down at Solarian feet watching the rest of my mates casting spells and glancing their swords towards the Mage. It's at that moment, in the middle of the battle and with my face in the cold floor that I remember what we did a couple of hours ago.
It was a calm night, but in the air you could feel something was going on. Everyone knew what we had to do tonight, all of us were focused on it. And we knew it would be today. Today Al'ar would pay for all of our suffering. Today we would take vengeance on all the innocent deaths (all the inocent you can be when you get into a house topped up with weapons to kill him) Alar had caused the las few weeks.
We were decided to do it, we knew we could. Some blood elves were waiting for us, loyally protecting their master's lair. They already knew what we were able to do (we had paid them some visits before that), and even though, they came towards us in crazyness. Our leader had already pointed out which would be their dying order. This was going to be funny.
[Leader]: > Go go go go go!!!
Tank1 taunts ElfWarrior1
Tank2 taunts ElfWarrior2
Mage1 castas polymorph on ElfMage1
Mage2 lanza polimorfia sobre ElfMage2
Your backstab crits ElfWarrior1 for 2264
ElfWarrior1 starts his whirlwind
Whirlwind from ElfWarrior1 hits you for 5572
Whirlwind from ElfWarrior1 hits you for 5786
You are dead
And thats how a normal combat goes (the "you are dead" part can happen at the beginning or at any other time, even when the fight is over). The others take care to kill the remaining elves.
This way we approached Alar room.
At our arrival, you could only hear the phoenix Gods flapping wings.
[Leader]:> Tanks, go to your position. Dont let the birdie see you
[Leader]:> The rest stay still for when the tanks are ready
[Tank1]:> Ready
[Tank2]:> Ready
[Tank3]:> Ready
[Tank4]:> Ready
[Tank5]:> Ready
[Lider]: > Go go go go go!!!
Tank1 took the eye of Alar while the rest took our places in the room and the ranged hit it. The melees were waiting for Alar switching tank when he got bored.
Alar shouted and crossed the room flying, letting where he was befor a couple of growing flames which finally took the shape of little Alars. The melee went quickly to hit them...
[Hunter1]:> Melees
[Rogue1]:> Yeah?
[Druid1]:> Tell us
[Arda]:> Eat steel, birdie!!!
[Hunter1]:> Remember that when it dyes it explodes, so get away from him
[Druid2]:> Yeah, don't worry
[Arda]:> I'm going to stick my dagger into your thro...
Son of Al'ar dies and explodes
Son of Al'ar's explotion hits you for 2578 and throws you to the other side of the room
[Arda]:> ...
[Hunter1]:> ¬¬
...or maybe 4 or 5...
...or 10...

Today Al'ar would pay for all of our suffering. Today we would take vengeance on all the innocent deaths (all the inocent you can be when you get into a house topped up with weapons to kill him) Alar had caused the las few weeks.
We were decided to do it, we knew we could. Some blood elves were waiting for us, loyally protecting their master's lair. They already knew what we were able to do (we had paid them some visits before that), and even though, they came towards us in crazyness. Our leader had already pointed out which would be their dying order. This was going to be funny.
[Leader]: > Go go go go go!!!
Tank1 taunts ElfWarrior1
Tank2 taunts ElfWarrior2
Mage1 castas polymorph on ElfMage1
Mage2 lanza polimorfia sobre ElfMage2
Your backstab crits ElfWarrior1 for 2264
ElfWarrior1 starts his whirlwind
Whirlwind from ElfWarrior1 hits you for 5572
Whirlwind from ElfWarrior1 hits you for 5786
You are dead
And thats how a normal combat goes (the "you are dead" part can happen at the beginning or at any other time, even when the fight is over). The others take care to kill the remaining elves.
This way we approached Alar room.
At our arrival, you could only hear the phoenix Gods flapping wings.
[Leader]:> Tanks, go to your position. Dont let the birdie see you
[Leader]:> The rest stay still for when the tanks are ready
[Tank1]:> Ready
[Tank2]:> Ready
[Tank3]:> Ready
[Tank4]:> Ready
[Tank5]:> Ready
[Lider]: > Go go go go go!!!
Tank1 took the eye of Alar while the rest took our places in the room and the ranged hit it. The melees were waiting for Alar switching tank when he got bored.
Alar shouted and crossed the room flying, letting where he was befor a couple of growing flames which finally took the shape of little Alars. The melee went quickly to hit them...
[Hunter1]:> Melees
[Rogue1]:> Yeah?
[Druid1]:> Tell us
[Arda]:> Eat steel, birdie!!!
[Hunter1]:> Remember that when it dyes it explodes, so get away from him
[Druid2]:> Yeah, don't worry
[Arda]:> I'm going to stick my dagger into your thro...
Son of Al'ar dies and explodes
Son of Al'ar's explotion hits you for 2578 and throws you to the other side of the room
[Arda]:> ...
[Hunter1]:> ¬¬
We kept doing it over and over, Al'ar flying over our heads and me flying from one side to another. When we thought it was never going to die, we saw him weaken. He started crossing the room, flapped its wings a couple of times ver heavily and slowly and suddenly fell to the floor. Its body still covered with flames started to burnd down to ashes. We were all expectant. Just one or two braves dared getting closer to the ashes. Silence reigned in the room. We only felt a strange emotion and a growing, intense heat.
It should be joy.
Or that fireball growing above the ashes...
Did I say fireball? Oh no...not again...
But it was too late, we didn't see it coming, the explotion caught us unprepared, we fell to the ground due to the expansive wave and those who were closer flew through the air. A chilling image took shape on one side of the room...
An angel...a ghostly angel...a priest had died. Al'ar was going to regret it.
We got into battle madly, our eyes pouring hate and vengeance. We gave Al'ar everything we had. The reigning silence got instantly filled with swords clashing with its beak, with daggers ripping through his guts, with arrows tearing his wings, with the creep of mages' fire when it hit Al'ar fire...culminated with the sweetest sound whe had heard in a long time...
The dying last shout of Al'ar...
Al'ar couldn't face our might...but that was a while ago.
Now we were facing Solarian...at least we were...
[Arda]:> Where is everyone?
[Leader]:> Who you mean by 'everyone'?
[Arda]:> All the people who were killing Solarian
[Mage1]:> They are sleeping
[Warlock1]:> Lol
[Leader]:> Arda, raid was over an hour and a half ago
[Paladin1]:> We tried to take you back, but you didn't answer, we thought you really were dead
[Arda]:> ...

In the beginning
...everything was beauty and calmness. Over my head big branches and green leafs passed by quickly. Even though, they were still too far from me due to the incredible height of the trees. Birds sang around me as a flew past them.
I guess I was flying, everything was far and blurry. Everything was so beauty...
I flew over a path, and a village too, and just as I entered a wide valley dominated by a millenary tree standing in the middle, I saw a light.
Curiosity was stronger than me, so I went there as quick as possible, and when I arrived...there I was...looking at myself from outside my own body barely dressed up. It was at that moment that I felt something pulling towards my body, something too strong to even try fighting it.
The first thing I saw when I was me again was an elf with an exclamation mark over his head
A damned elf dressed up with a skirt with a freaking yellow exclamation mark floating over his head !!!
I don't know what was stronger, curiosity or just ask him what kind of drug he had had, but I walked towards him. Just as I was arriving he started talking withouth taking a single breath to talk. Long story short, we agreed to make a barbeque (how did we get to that point?), so I started looking for bushes which may have any boar or little panther hidden inside.
I was doing good with the hunt, but in one of the bushes I found a boar mom who was feeding her little boars. It was some point between feeling her horn in my stomach and hearing my skull crashing under her hoofs that I knew she hadn't liked me interrumpting her feeding time.
Since that day (though I still didn't know) I started what was going to be mi fate as a rogue:
