Day 162

I have been questing in STV on my way north for the past two days. I could have flown to Stormwind but I needed to complete many of the quests I have here and start the rest, so I really haven't been moving north very quickly. Several times I found myself hearthing back to Booty Bay to turn in quests. I think I some how turned off locking STV down or that it was waiting for me to turn in the bulk of my quests? I wasn't really sure but the respawning of mobs didn't change. With my quest log nearly full I started turning in quests. Hearthing again to Booty Bay to start there. By the time I got to Nesingwary's camp I leveled from forty to forty five in the last two days. I wondered about some of the quests as they shouldn't have given me so much experience. There were still a good fifteen quests needed to be completed here. I rode up to the rebel camp flight point.

"How is the hunting today?" a dwarf asked me as I passed his group.

"About the same, but I was questing still not finished." I replied. "Anything going one in Stormwind?"

"Nothing much really." the dwarf replied. "Hey aren't you..." I took the flight before he had a chance to finish his question. "...Kit?"

"That was a bit rude." the elf stated.

"If it was Kit then it is not. Surprised she talked to us at all." the human replied. "Heard she ghosted a few players in Booty Bay."

"Ghosted?" the dwarf asked.

"Yup they went to capture or fight her or something and their attacks went right through her. Weird huh?"

"Probably they chickened out." the dwarf replied.

Flying was the best part of this world. Some days I would just get the urge and take the longest flight I could just to see the land fly past below me. Unlike the game the birds stayed above the trees and they avoided anything they could run into. They flew low, but high enough to be out of bow range. As on certain routes you would get shot at. Stormwind was never changing like this world nothing really changed. I headed into the trade district and stopped at the auction house. The place was fairly packed and I had to watch out for other people as the humans, elves, and dwarves tended to not see a gnome. Getting knocked over was a common problem. I engaged the vendor and now that I was level forty five I needed new gear. I was back to wearing all my BOA pieces so my searches were a bit easier. I found four blue items quickly and they were relatively cheap. My little stash of enchants was getting low and a few mats were needed and they were not so cheap.

I headed out to The White Rabbit. I was in no rush as I revealed in the crowded streets and alleys. I thought I would have a problem, but other then getting stepped on I had fun. A few kids would run with me or ask me to play until they realized I was a gnome. Entering the park was like a completely area. The hustle and bustle of all the other streets vanished in a hush as I neared the inn. I smiled and enjoyed the cooler air of Stormwind before entering.

"Now if that isn't a sight for sore eyes." Ginny stated. "How have you been?"

"Ginny? I didn't expect to see anyone in here." I replied. "And wow you are rocking that dress." Ginny twirled around. Then laughed as she picked me up to give me a bear hug.

"Hey put me down you are making me unbalanced." I stated.

"Gnomes and their big words." Ginny replied. "Next you will be talking about mechano somethings or another."

"Ya so sue me." I stated. "Anyone else around."

"In a few, a bit early for some of them." Ginny replied. "Bron tells me that you are thinking of coming back. I for one demand you come back seeing that you are forty five I think we can get you in Zul and Mara, but first how about lunch?"

"I don't know if I want to be a Closer, maybe I will do some guild surfing." I teased.

"Honey you don't want to do that. Plenty of guilds would kill to have you, but none have entered Blackrock other then us. Plus you are too slow with all your questing. Dungeon runs are wear it is at." Ginny replied as she set out a meal. "Can't complain about the gold either."

"I get plenty of gold questing and vendoring all the trash I get, plus I have a few rare items I think will do well on the AH." I stated. "But to do both now that is where the money is."

"Dungeon runs and questing?" Ginny asked.

"Doing the quests for the dungeons." I replied. "I know where to pick them up. Though I need to close at least six of them."

"Stop thinking about for now let's eat and wait for the boys to show up." Ginny stated as she filled her plate. We spent nearly an hour eating and catching up. Elvel came in and nodded as he went by before disappearing upstairs. I would have said something but my mouth was full.

"Elvel is such an animal." Ginny said after he was gone. "He has some girl in Darnassus, and one here in Stormwind."

"I could mess with him a bit." I stated.

"How?" Ginny asked just before a turned into a night elf. I used Leyara's Locket to turn into a night elf druid of the flame. "Holy dodo."

"Nice to have toys." I stated. Elvel came at exactly the right moment as I started dancing. I danced over to him and he chuckled.

"I hope you are not afraid of snakes." Elvel flirted. I stopped dancing as I laughed.

"You are a bold one, Elvel." I stated. "I hope you enjoyed my dancing, but you are going to have to try a few more lines for me to fall for it."

"I know your voice, but I don't know you." Elvel replied. "Ginny weren't you just talking to a gnome?"

"God Elvel you are so blind." Ginny replied. "That is Kit."

"Kit you're an elf now how?" he asked. We both cracked up laughing at the confused Elvel. I danced around him and then activated another toy. Orb of Sin'dorei. Elvel nearly froze solid as I continued to dance around him.

"The night is nice, but sometimes I must come out during the day." I stated. "Have you ever done it with a blood elf?" They both looked stunned. Ginny and Elvel were in shock. I looked at one and then the other and then laughed. This unnerved them and I sighed. "You two are no fun at all. Why the shock you know me?"

"Not the changes but your level." Ginny replied. "The night elf was eighty five and we don't know your current level cause it is a skull."

"I don't know what to do, run, attack you, or kiss you." Elvel added.

"I think sitting down will work." I replied kissing him on the cheek before canceling the disguise. "The items I used to change are unique, but they are from expansions. Let me try another. I used my Iron Boot Flask and turned into an iron dwarf.

"Level eighty. That is crazy those items are making you jump around in levels." Ginny stated. "Do they remain during combat?"

"I don't know I have never used them that way." I replied. "Something to check out I guess. What about this one. I turned into a gnomish infantry.

"No change in level." Elvel stated.

"Damn that one lasts thirty minutes. Would have been nice to be level eighty five." I stated. "But ten minutes as each of the others is good, but they all have cool downs. I guess I could use them in a pinch."

"Kit is that you?!" Fizzle asked as he came into the room. I squealed and rushed to hug him. He returned the hug and even spun me around. "Someone is happy to see me."

"Now all we need is Bron to show up." Ginny stated. "He wants to be the one to invite you to the guild. The temptation is getting to me, though." Bron took his time getting to the inn. Nearly dinner time. Other players had filtered in for a meal or to go upstairs to a room. Bron walked up and sat down next to Ginny.

"Well Kit are you ready to rejoin the world?" he asked. The invite window opened up and I swiped the accept button. Guild chat came on line and I got about twenty welcomes and a few welcome backs. "Now our family is whole." I looked at the roster and looked at Bron with a questioning look. "Ya I know we are a small guild now, but that will change. Don't you worry."

"I am not worried. Just a bit surprised you kept this many." I teased. "But don't you dare. You are the GM and that is final." He hand raised me to rogue class officer and I saw him contemplate."

"With you as leader we will grow again." Elvel stated. "Is that not what you want?"

"I did at the time, but players have been leveling and I am sure they have found a good group to quest with. Plus we don't have to be big just forty members is all we need." I explained. "But I do have question. Why am I the only rogue?"

"No reason really. Though there is a guild with nothing but rogues." Bron replied. "How they can survive boss fights is a wonder."

"Rogues have evasion and five rogues popping it one after the other makes for a target you can't hit, or they are linked with other guilds that are heavy with healers and tanks." Ginny stated. "So how many rogues should we have?"

"Four to five, but that is not the biggest worry, tanks will be. Are paladins and druids good tanks? Comparable to warriors? Same with healers?"

"We rotate groups so that is why you see only a two level difference. I have had no problems as a tank or a healer." Elvel replied. "Should there be a problem?"

"Yes and no. In the game warriors and priests were the only classes that could tank and heal effectively. Paladins were just there for the buff and other classes were just not strong enough. Rogues and Magi had a hard time not dying cause we do so much damage. If that is not the case then we have more options is all."

"Then we have a few openings for each." Ginny stated.

"Excuse me, but are you Kit?" a gnome female asked.

"Yes I am can we help you?" I asked.

"I was to give you a formal request to join Followers, but I see you are in a guild." she explained. "Sorry to bother you."

"Wait I do have one question, who do you follow?" I asked.

"We just follow the one." she replied. "It was an honor to meet you." the girl was gone before I could even stand up.

"Now that was odd." Fizzle stated. "No matter it was probably for the best. I heard a gnome warrior runs that guild. John, Jack, Jim..."

"Jake?" I interrupted. "Is it him."

"Yes proud warrior wins duels left and right." Fizzle stated. "Elisa is in that guild, but I don't know why."

"I need to talk to Jake, but I am not sure he will want to listen. Could any of you arraign a meeting?" I asked.

"Not hard use your lowest level status which last I checked you just regained when this other cat leveled." Bron suggested. "I guess you can't run from that." I rolled my eyes and then sighed.

"I don't want to call him in like that it is an abuse of power." I stated.

"Not really he is on the council as well. The guy has been running dungeon after dungeon. Never saw anyone level like he has even you couldn't keep up. Many favor him to hit sixty first." Bron explained. "But he is only level fifty three and only recently passed us up on levels, but he jumped five levels in the last two weeks."

"And I just did five levels in a week. I don't think he is leveling fast, but he definitely is not leveling alone." I added. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow I will go to Ironforge and demand a full council. Tonight we party." I raised my glass and we toasted to our guild.
