Whoever your DK is, she needs to be really impressed by the "Hand of Sorrow." <_<

Uthas, I'm down. We should get lunch or something.

"For that's the curse o' the Balthasars," finished Eloim, his face hard and stony, eyes dry. "Every generation, there's one son who aspires to heroism, to be one o' the old legends - an' every one has died young, brought low by one o' his family. It's not malice that undoes us, Jakob,...

The story o' Elios Balthasar, Eloim began, is in that book, an' all you need to know for the purpose o' my story is that he fell, deeper an' darker than any Balthasar, even more than Bastard Danreic who was slain by Eberrah.

I think I'm done with Tarq's pre-raid gear atm, except for AC exalted for those delicious boots, so I can upgrade to my awesome pants without Tarq running around in knee-pants. Even after I get that (8-9k to go), badges are nice and can be used for gems next patch, so I'm happy to stab anywhere for ...

Once, on a very boring day in Stormwind, a cocky young SI:7 agent had undertook to develop a mathematical formula for the passage of time when one is waiting to commit a murder.
