Call me Ishmael

Some weeks ago — never mind how long precisely — having little or no gold in my bags, and nothing particular to interest me in Northrend, I thought I would raid a little and see the inside of Ulduar. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation.

Demogar castigated us, “But what’s this long face about, Enveloping Shadows; wilt thou not chase the white whale! art not game for Thorim?”

He went on to explain, “Aye, aye! It was that accursed watcher that razeed me; made a poor pegging lubber of me for ever and a day!” Then tossing both arms, with measureless imprecations he shouted out: “Aye, aye! and I’ll chase him round the Storm Peaks, and round the halls of Ulduar, and round the inner sanctum, and round perdition’s flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, guildees! to chase that Thorim on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and gives up his purps.”

All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Demogar, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Thorim. He piled upon the watcher’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Cairne down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.

“Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering Thorim; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.”

    Congrats and all that!

    However what I feel most compelled to comment on is that you appear to have 5 stacks of Blood Reserve up in that screenshot. I CALL HAX!!!

    @Yoggie: We actually sat down with the fight and put some effort into it for once. Thorim’s been totally on the back burner lately, left for the last raid day (which thanks to summer slowdown has been cancelled often). We finally just buckled down and got it done.

    @Zeianna: Hahaha, so true! I was actually not one of the two taunting tanks. I was too busy dealing with left over adds that the DK switched over to Thorim with Demogar (warrior tank). Otherwise it’d probably have been consumed. :P

    You mean the other tank ninjaed him off you. That was weak sauce.
