Tonight was a fun night.

The evening started off with a run hosted by Rotten Luck for Archavon-25 man. Though Grim was the original invitee, at one point while the group was still forming and it was clear they had the tanks covered, I offered up Mal instead. As I was (and would remain) the only DK though, I was encouraged to stay, and this proved to be huge.

Ya see, right about the time that the MT engaged Archavon, the OT disconnected. I jumped, switched back into frost presence (from blood) and started laying as much threat as possible to try and climb up the threat list. Because of this, we never really skipped a beat. We lost DPS (figure 2 players worth), but at least Archavon didn’t lay the smack down until he enraged (and then several of us took a closer look at the dirt). Enough lived to take him down, and because of that, I got my first 25 man tokens. Cool beans. As an added bonus, the Deadly Gladiator’s Dreadplate Gauntlets dropped. They’re PVP, yes, but they’re also DPS, and I’m slowly but surely building up a DPS set, which is always a nice thing to have.

Right after we did the 25 man, we did the 10 man, and took that down in short order. As fun as that was though, I had more fun when I joined a friend (and still relative WoW newcomer) in Nagrand. She’s playing her highest toon (a level 69 when we began the night) and was progressing through the last bits of the questline in Nagrand that ends with Thrall’s return and Garrosh finding his balls. We took a side trip into Crypts as part of what she needed to do, and by the time it was done, she was 70.

So here’s to you, my friend, for reminding me that there’s much fun to be had when everything is still new to you, and how tremendous epic questlines can be. I haven’t yet done many quests in Nagrand yet, but in seeing her joy, I just might. Now if I could just find the time (and other people) to bring her into Kara…
