Random wanderings

Kaewhy is now officially doing quests I have never seen before. I wandered into Desolace for the first time this week, paranoid because I have never been there. I was envisioning ?? creatures and allies, so I stealthed in all the way to Ghost Walker Post, and again to Shadowprey Village. Then I grabbed a clue and realized I was just fine on this map. So 6 quests later I now have to get a bloody advanced target dummy (why do I always need to find a bloody engineer?).

Desolace seems to be a better map for hitting allies than Hillsbrad. I get ganked regularily in Hillsbrad, and I only go now in the morning when the allie count is low. Desolace, however, has many low level allies - the kind I like.

A statement about the verb, to "gank". I akin this term to "rape", "total and clear annihilation", etc. This is most often performed by a 60 on a 30. However, it can happen in other, special cases. I was shaking my head the other day at the general defense chat in Hillsbrad. Someone mentioned a 29 allie rogue was "ganking" a 34 cave yeti. That, my friends, is not ganking. That would be a little boy too big for his britches trying to make up for some missing phallic symbol.

Last night, I ganked. I wandered around and came upon a 32 Warlock. Yes, he was only 1 level lower than me, but when one doesn't even get a shot off, it's a gank. Poor little gnome. I couldn't help but laugh - both at him and his inaffectual minion. Rushed with power, I wandered off to kill Kohlkars - and found a 31 Warlock just conjuring her minion. Sad waste of a soulshard, that. She actually managed to cast a spell. Unfortunately for her, I am undead, and only four words need to be said - "Will of the Forsaken". So not only did she waste a soul shard, she also wasted a perfectly good fear. I notice she didn't release her soul until after I left. Heh.
