Brann Bronzebeard: High Explorer, Royalty…Stalker?
After zooming around Northrend, I seem to have attracted a little attention from a certain dwarf—but it’s not what you think (for once). Triggering the “Explore Northrend” achievement prompted Brann Bronzebeard to congratulate me via in-game mail; he even sent me a brand new Tabard of the Explorer with the message “You’ve been around.” While I think he might have gotten me confused with another sort of girl, I put it on and kept questing. What would you have done? Unfortunately, Mr. Bronzebeard must have been expecting a “Thank-You” and a few “Tabard Only” pictures in return, because he decided to continue sending tabards. At first, I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Rather than unceremoniously deleting his overgifting, I let the tabards sit in my mailbox—until it practically exploded.
Before I could seek professional help, I found out the Lycentia was already on the job. Braan didn’t recognize that the sexy human female avatar was a front for an even hotter human male. Soon, package upon package of epic tabards found their way into Lycentia’s inbox as well. He had no time for Brann’s dicking around (seriously) and opened a ticket. Apparently this isn’t the massive bug we thought it was.
Lol wut? Sorry, Mr. Bronzebeard. I’m not that open-minded.
In other news, I should be back up to speed and blogging about things that actually matter very shortly; when Lycentia and I packed it in this evening, we were both about 20% through 79. Have I mentioned that all the five-mans are stupidly easy? They’re essentially free XP, especially if you’ve picked up all the matching quests. But, while still fiendishly questing, I accidentally stumbled across BigRedKitty’s buddy
over in the land of Lost.
Tomorrow? Icecrown.
Nice, that’s an awesome achievement to finish!
Seriously.
“Grats, baby! I hear you’ve gotten around Northrend. I’d like to get in YOU. Here, have 203948098 tabards.”
Heh, I’ve seen you tearing up the levels, too!
I’m not quite to 73 myself, but I’m still loving it. TWO encounters with Arthas so far, both in Howling Fjord. Sadly, I seem to keep being in the wrong place at the wrong time for instances… done UK 3 times, but thats it… ::thinking I need to poke guildies::
Oh, you’ll see more of Arthas as you move along. Blizzard has done a particularly great job in making the quests immersive and relevant to the overarching story-line. Wait till you get to Wintergarde Keep.
