Day 164
"Morning lover." Jake said as he pulled me closer. "Or should I say afternoon." I giggled and then flinched.
"Morning you beast." I replied as I giggled again. I was so sore from our love making, but I warmed by the pain. "How come you let me sleep so long?" He handed me a cup of tea. I took a sip and giggled again. "Thistle tea doesn't really work out side of combat, but thank you."
"I hoped it would. You could have pretended it did." Jake replied. I moved a bit and felt he was interested in more than just cuddling.
"I don't think taking more of the poison that bit me is going to help." I stated, but I didn't move away. We kissed a bit then I took another sip. "So, why didn't we do this months ago?"
"Maybe to make that much more appealing?" Jake replied. I turned and kissed him again and giggled. "We don't..." I kissed him and found out it did help relax all the muscles and to smooth out the knots I was still sore, but glad it happened.
"Have you decided to join us?" Jake asked later at dinner. "You don't have to, but we can be together more often."
"Jake I love you, but I am not into running a family business, or a dictatorship or church cult which I think applies here. What we need is more members in our guild." I stated. "Are the Followers all gnomes?"
"No we have a good balance of all races, but only gnomes know of this place and the true name of the guild. We also have a lot of the former members of EGR in our ranks. Many of whom will jump at the offer to be in your guild. I think if we cant have you in our guild we could at least be sister guilds."
"That can be arranged." I replied. "Bron wants to run the lower dungeons and I want to do the quests for them. I want to know if I can still lock an instance."
"What if you can't?" he asked.
"Then I think we may have company in a few months." I replied. "Either the Burning Crusade expansion or horde players, maybe even both." That got him thinking and my fear of this became possible when I finished my quests for SFK and BFD. After running them five different times and ways it wouldn't lock. I thought it would be the same for Gnomeregan but I didn't lock it at least not completely. Everything before the instance portal was cleared and Gnomish infantry took up defensive positions as engineers moved in equipment. New Tinkertown was being built as we exited Gnomeregan. This made me pale as this was a cata event. Though there were no plans to attack the rest of Gnomeregan. RFK and SM turned out to be unlockable and we found out Wailing Caverns had unlocked, but the bosses were missing. RFD and Uldaman still gave me experience so we didn't even try. We ran Mara, Zul, ST, and BRD the standard five times. I met so many knew people as everyone wanted to run with Kit the Rogue. Some were friendly some didn't care and others a bit annoying, but that is normal with any group. BRD was the only one that had shown any bit of a challenge. In five days I had done ten dungeons a minimum of five times plus travel time to the quest givers. BRD turned out to be an over night trip, which turned into a week of questing just to get the quests. Our first run lasted six grueling hours. It was not the only dungeon we did there. LBRS and UBRS were also there. I ran those a lot because I was one of the few that had not only the keys but the ability to open any lock even the ones requiring a key. Nearly every guild was in Blackrock Mountain with three dungeons so close together it was surprising that there wasn't lines to get in. We did have one secret as most thought UBRS was a five man and every time you would see them run out. We formed up into raids groups and for another week after that to beat the instance over and over. In this time The Closers filled up to forty members all sitting at level 58-59. The same was with Followers as they slimmed down to a forty man guild. We had all the gear and tons of materials out of those three instances and each of the eighty members had done the quests. We then move on to Dire Maul and Silithus. We did quest after quest in Silithus which got most of us to level sixty. The rest had level while in UBRS or Dire Maul. There was no quests that lead to the opening of Ahn'Qiraj and I wondered if something else had to be done. From there we moved on to Western and Eastern Plaguelands. This land I really wanted to lock and clean up. I had done most of the quests before and I was already exalted with the Argent Dawn and just like the Cenarion Circle it helped us as a guild. UBRS and Stratholme were our first taste of raiding, but it wasn't until Zul'Gurub that we did a proper raid. The rep grind was just as bad as Argent Dawn and Cenarion Circle. What confused me was not getting any quest for Onyxia's Lair then it dawned on me that there was a few quest lines I passed up.
