or How I Stood in the Void
The guild asked me along for quick run through Throne of the Four Winds since a few of us hadn’t seen it yet.
I think I got thrown off a platform right near the start, and during the last boss fight I managed to stand in the tornadoes (yes, I ran the wrong way and missed the openings) and for my coup de grâce, I died right before the boss died.
Defender of a Shattered World
The priest mantle token dropped (T11) but someone needed it more than I did so I was happy to pass it along since there’s no big rush for me to gear up.
It’s almost become a tradition for me to always die right when the last boss dies the first time I do a fight. Blizzard should definitely make it an Achievement.
I guess it’s a little difficult to call myself a Defender when I’m dead in the void, but I’ll take it – thanks everyone!
The Best Birthday Present of All
It was my birthday yesterday so to celebrate being errrr…ummmm…well… let’s just say “old enough” I thought I would try some “birthday luck” and see if I could dig up that Archaeology bug mount.
Well, that wasn’t happening but while I was hitting another disappointing site, I got a whisper from the person who got the priest token.
Apparently they didn’t need it after all and still had some time to trade it to me if I wanted it -a nice surprise!
Mantle of the Forlorn Conqueror
Now I have a T11 two-piece bonus and in a few weeks I should have enough VPs to get another piece for the T12 two-piece bonus – bonuses everywhere!
It’s actually a big thrill for me as a non-raider to get something I assumed was forever beyond my reach – a real token! So thanks K – you really made my day!
Then a real life friend I haven’t seen in ages showed up and surprised me with a delicious dinner – looks like I had some “birthday luck” after all!

Happy Birthday!!
Also, congrats on the shoulders! I noticed them when I popped my potion of illusion to look like you, I assumed you got them on the run, I was a bit jealous then remembered that T11 shoulders are the fountain shoulders…so then I didn’t feel so jealous afterall. But awesome for you!!!! Makes me happy!!

Woah! double two set! Nice. Now you are better geared than me 😀 Don’t feel bad about the tornados. I got blown off and then stood in them like twice, all in the first 30 seconds. 😛

Happy birthday! Glad you could make it for that run – you were such a good sport with all the “dying to Ryolith” and I felt bad we didn’t down him. (They just nerfed that big baddie, so we will get revenge for you this weekend )
