Marauding through Maraudon

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

We're off to Maraudon! The dungeon was discovered late in the exploration of Azeroth, and so is rather more involved than the other dungeons we've delved in to so far. But Livya says that she knows Maraudon like she knows Wailing Caverns, so we should have no problems ...

Fireballs in Zul'Farrak and snowballs in Stormwind

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

We're going to Maraudon! For some reason, I expected the dungeon in Desolace to have more centaurs and fewer trolls, and for it to be an indoor, rocky instance. But it turns out that we're not quite ready for Maraudon, and Zul'Farrak is more in our level ...

Filesystem Checkwits upset Uldaman

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

The Filesystem Checkwits defeat Uldaman! This must be the first time I have completed the dungeon at the right level. Of course, I have been here before, quite a few times. Back in the old days, when I was a young warlock, I needed to get in ...

Escape from Razorfen Downs

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

It's back to the Horde continent of Kalimdor and the dry heat of the Barrens for the Filesystem Checkwits. Heading close to the Thousand Needles boundary we take a sharp left for our expedition in to Razorfen Downs. At least, that's the idea, but Livya has somehow found ...

Filesystem Checkwits disrupt the Scarlet Monastery

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

How do you kill that which does not live? It's a recurring question when encountering zombies, ghouls and skeletons, one that eludes a common solution. It raises interesting discussion about the existence of the soul, particularly in conjunction with PC death and resurrection, and whether death is an ...

Filesystem Checkwits go to the library

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

I hear there's a cleric in an Alliance camp in Desolace who has skeletons in his quest log. Although I have travelled through various regions already, I still have quite a trek ahead of me to reach him. My route takes me through Ratchet, as I still have ...

Routing Razorfen Kraul

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Coming out from overpowering Wailing Caverns, the Filesystem Checkwits spot some allies. From brief stints as spies in Horde territory, I understand the riders we encounter to be quite a frustration. Maybe they don't ambush unsuspecting characters quite as effectively as the devilsaurs in Un'Goro Crater, but the ...

Overpowering the Wailing Caverns

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

It's low-level Horde dungeon achievement night! Missing our druid, off in the emerald dream of PC repairs, we limit our attention away from solid group progress and more towards superficial achievements, making sure we keep our focus fixed on fun. Quite why we pick Wailing Caverns as our ...

Paladin and warlock

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

One is a good and pure bringer of the light, the other a demon-controlling master of the dark arts. Together, the paladin and warlock pair run around Duskwood and get up to all manner of wacky hijinks! The biggest prank is the one pulled on us by the ...

Filesystem Checkwits survive Gnomeregan

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

We stand outside Gnomeregan, contemplating the arudous path before us. We could just turn around and go to punch boars in their Heisenburg snouts, only determined to exist when we are specifically not on a quest to gather them. But, no, Vulzerda is adamant that 'we are here ...
