Monday (14 Feb)- Hearnoevils and the Rest of the Hunter Fortress

The big news over the weekend was getting my computer put back together and operating semi-normally. Oh yea, and there were these four horde hunters that decided to wage war on the alliance.

The Hunter Fortess, or "Four Tresses" if one prefers, wasn't a fly by night operation. There were days of planning and preparation by Seenoevil, Hearnoevils, Speaknoevil, and Beanoevil - weapons, gear, flasks, enchants, etc, were all laid out. Each hunter had to battle through their home zones and break free from those bonds.

Wild's young upstart, Hearnoevils, was the first born goblin in the family. Shevils (what other nickname did you think she'd get?) thought she'd been born in heaven. Her first quest taught her the sage words of her mentor Sassy Hardwrench, "Profits are everything. Explosives are a close second." It was the sound of clinking coins and of bombs going off to Shevils rather large and bejeweled ears.

The town of Kezan in the Lost Isles was like Santa's toy shop. At level 2 she was given the keys to a wonderful convertible, and three new BFFs piled into it to keep her company. Roads were built like roller coasters, and goblins on foot got the most fun out being knocked in the air when Shevil's driving got out of hand and off the pavement. Shevils hardly had to get out of that car for most of the quests, and had little use for her weapons in those heady early days as most quests did not require blood to be spilled. Shevils and her "crew" drove around finding things, losing things, stealing things, and returning things stolen by others. There was even a big party with dancing, eating and drinking, and throwing up. Who could ask for anything more?

It was too good to be true, though. That naughty dragon Deathwing was causing a lot of trouble, there was a volcanice eruption, and it was time to leave. Shevils helped Sassy pack, as well as helping her blow up and burn to the ground her abode for some reason, then we robbed a bank and used the money to buy passage on a ship off our island home. Too bad it was a pirate ship. Those pirates cheated us out of the money we gave them and Shevils became a slave. Only for a short time, however, as they sailed into a sea battle between the Horde and alliance and Shevils nearly drowned. Then she was shipwrecked, and the next thing you know monkeys were throwing poo at her. Shevils was starting to feel at home again. She missed that convertible, though.

Shevils is currently sandwiched into one of those phased areas were there is no escape. She's level 11 now, her pet hates her, and there is no where to get any food for the stupid crab to eat. The hearthstone simply redeposits her right where she is, which is a camp with so few amenities even the great hunter Nessingway would be complaining. Shevils has four new talents she could learn, if only she could get to a trainer. A mailbox would also be very nice have right about now. Any hoo, she'll keep trying to figure out how to get out of this mess before Tuesday night.

The fourth member of the Hunter Fortress, Beanoevils, was born in Eversong Woods and is kin to blood elf Jocelyne. Sista was gracious enough to share her heirloom gear with Beano, so Beano sailed smoothly through her early testing and quickly arrived at and settled into Silvermoon City at level 10. The Blood Elf starting zone is still the fastest place to raise a new toon. Shevils, however, suggested the Blood Elves should invest in a convertible.

Speak and See were already prepared and ready to go, and collected the crafted leather gear Mery left for them in the bank. Speak has been the group's forward scout and already has at least two Warsong Gulch victories under her belt.

Mery still has some work to do to get Shevils and Beano ready. She ran out of light leather, but a little work in Silverpine Forest on those bears and wolves will stock her back up. We may have to start with light armor kits instead of medium, though. Medium leather takes more time farm, and that's one type of leather she currently doesn'y have any of. Wild is checking on enchants, too.

PS - Shevils took pictures from her convertible and she'll include them in the next post.
