The Grunt Foundation may have lost one of it's members. The mage Braeco is going to be working on sundays for the foreseeable future and is not sure whether he will be able to continue. We are going to try to work around his work schedule but it will be difficult at best. We wished him the best of luck with the hope that he will be able to rejoin us. If he can't return there will be only four of us.
Sunday morning we got a bit of a late start since we were looking for a 5th for our trip to Razorfen Kraul (RFK). One choice could have been a level 27 pally. But when he asked me what RFK was, and then when he replied to my question, "Have you ever been in an instance?" with, "You mean that swirly thing? I went in one once with some raptors. Had a hard time killing them", I figured we'd take a pass on him. We eventually got a level 31 warlock.
RFK is inhabited by the quilbore - pig people, to put it plainly. Not that there's anything wrong with that. They are descendants of a great boar demigod, who's fallen blood formed the areas of RFK and Razorfen Downs (RFD). The mobs are all high 20's to low 30's elites.
We failed to explain loot rules to the visiting warlock and it came back to haunt us on the first boss, Death's Speaker Jargba. [Death Speaker Robes] dropped, which both warlocks and Philly would have liked to have. We all passed on the BOP drop, which is standard group practice, but the visitor rolled need and of course got it. Sigh. We explained the loot rules and we did not have any further significant issues, although he did try to roll on an item "to disenchant" when someone else needed it. No, we explained in more detail, you can't "win" a DE when someone else will use it. He provided additional DPS and though he was behind everyone in damage dealing but Philly, his help moved us through the instance a little faster. He was pretty impressed with our swift, efficient, bloody path through those quilboar, and we barely slowed down even against the bosses. There were eight of them, and none of them gave us much trouble. As far as drops, there were some good ones for the guildies, but Philly seems to have picked up the same dread "drop avoidance" disease Wild has and did not get a sinlge drop go her way. If it weren't for the nice quest reward from one of the quests, Philly would have walked away from RFK with nothing to show for it. Well, almost, since the quest rewards did DING Philly to level 33.
