WoW: That Darn Instance
Well, no joy in Zul Farrak tonight. We were trying to do the next step in the carrot on a stick quest (makes your mount run faster), but it didn’t work out. We’ve got to bang a gong and fight a three headed monster of some sort. We made it to the right location but died while clearing the area around the gong in preparation for the big fight.
I miss-timed the re-pop of one of the walking groups that includes two guys and an alligator kind of thing. We were in the middle of a fight when they showed up and the boys didn’t hear my mental command to pull back. I don’t know what their problem was. I winked and everything. They just stood there like they had no idea what I was thinking. /shrug
We went back and tried to sneak by some of the complete re-pop we, happily, found when entering the instance again. It worked rather well and we didn’t have to kill everything on the way back in. The warrior (me) made a bad pull entering the gong court yard and when the same alligator group added, we went down again.
Third time is a charm and that’s why we died sneaking by a group, we could have easily taken, at the cross road fountain. Mike thought they wouldn’t notice a Gnome (mage). Turns out he was wrong and it got real sloppy and ugly soon after. We called it a night after that.
It was frustrating that we didn’t get a chance at Gahz’rilla, boy he sounds super bad with a name like that, but we are practicing some new techniques and that’s good. All in all it was your standard instance run, fight your way in till you can’t go any further. I feel real confident we’ll pull it off Monday, our next fight night. Maybe confident is a little too strong. I’m hopeful. I think Gahz’rilla is the carrot on the end of our stick.
