Lightning strikes twice and Ungy finds his [Destiny]… …again?

So I’m now a big fan of Scarlet Stratholme. If you were among the lucky ones who rocked that place to the ground last night, you saw some pretty crazy loot drop including one of the silliest trinkets in the game: the [Cannonball Runner]. We also saw not 2 but 3 [Righteous Orb]s drop. Even more cool was seeing a purple item named [Destiny] drop. This 2H sword is a world-drop and is recorded on Thottbot as extremely rare. When we saw it drop in Strat, we all rolled greed for the BOE sword since none of us use 2H swords. The chamois won it and was congratulated by the group. Shortly thereafter, lightning (or chain lightning, I can’t remember which) struck again and this rare world drop fell into the lap of HFC again.

Holy crap, did that really happen?Now, what would you do if you’d already rolled greed and won this 100-200 gold valued weapon? Let the others roll for it and have their moment of glory too, or roll again and see if it was time to go buy a Lottery ticket? Well, to the chagrin of at least one HFCer who may or may not be the GM, the flighty, er MIGHTY Ungulataur chose aptly to roll “greed” yet again and chance it. HOLY MONKEY I WON IT TWICE??!?!? Rather than being a complete rat bastard, I asked if people would /roll for it and I’d just hand it to whomever won the second roll but wow, winning the rare drop that dropped twice twice was worth it for me. I tried to make sure an smooth over any latent hard feelings about the experiment in luck but couldn’t help getting a screenshot for you to see the event yourselves. After also picking up the [Hand of Edward the Odd] last time I was in Strat (albeit on the undead side…), I’ve become a huge fan of the place and certainly dropped well down the SP list. Anyone need a bodyguard for a low-level instance? :D

With A Little Help From My Friends

Dreadsteed.jpgAs Joe Cocker said, “With A Little Help From My Friends”. I am now the proud owner of a new epic mount, the Dreadsteed. I wanted to thank everyone who made this possible. Malgash for providing the required components for the summoning, Skykomish for tanking, Paed for healing and Bomosnipah for the ritual saving feign death.

This turned out to be a nice run, I believe that everyone made at least 20 gold, some a lot more. Nice items dropped for both Skykomish and Bomosnipah.

I am looking forward to going back and spending more time in DM, all three wings. I think it would also be fun to be the Ogre King. Its good to be the king.

FNF: Scarlet Stratholme

The December 1st Friday Night Fight is Scarlet Stratholme. Sign up now!

In related news, the FNF poll has been closed — replaced with a brand new shiny poll for the FNF. This new poll allows up to three votes for instances, so you don’t have to choose just one location. This will allow broader overlapping of the votes in order to avoid the ties that have been plagueing us lately, and also to focus on instances that several members are interested in, rather than catering to a few who happened to vote for the same thing coincidentally.

Vote for next week’s FNF here.

Update: Extending Scarlet Strat all weekend long!
