Escaping Air, a human starter experience story.
I’d spent the past few hours wandering hopelessly alone through the forests of elwynn when after being attacked by some odd little fellow blabbering about this special candle he didn’t want me to take when a rogue by the name of persephone cuts in, severing the candle from his hat and knocking him out with one swift punch. Given I’d been struggling for hours to get past this foe needless to say I was quite impressed by my new ally. Watching her cut down foe after foe, she gave me ideas all right, only I knew there was no way we could finish my grand scheme to completion with just us two, we needed more heads.
It wasn’t but 15 minutes later, we were tagging teaming Princess in a nearby field when we made our threesome. Cutting in at the last second, asking for an invite, here came in Javier, our fearless and rambunctious warrior pal. Finishing off princess the moment he got his invite, I knew things were shaping up to make an unforgettable night.
Much to my surprise the next few partners joined for a quick slap of Hogger and then shifted away from wherever it is they came from, it wasn’t until we were well through our journey of westfall we met our fearless fourth AND leadfooted fifth.
You see as we first got to westfall we received a treasure map, after following the coastline for a bit we seemed to find the spot it pointed towards, an island just off the coast with a light house. When we got there that is when we saw them, Carlos and Margarita swimming -more like carlos swimming and margarita dragging him down, although it does make some sense seeing as carlos was transformed into a seal and margarita was a priest carrying a unnecessarily over weighted club
Of course when we saw them they seemed fine, but that wasn’t until they got closer to the coast and a camp of murlocs attacked them. Shifting into the form of a bear carlos quickly took control of those pesky fish, but as I’m sure many of you know fish love to congregate near their allies. Mistaking my hesitation for that of our entire group, Javier at this moment noticed the ruckus and fearlessly charges in, persephone sighing cuts in and starts to peel the fish off of javier. Given that there were five of us it seemed like we would have no issues overcoming what would come our way…
That is when I saw him, the purple skinned, crusty eyed boss of the fish, old murk-eye. Sidenote - Javier as fearless as he is doesn’t have eyes on the back of his head, an unfortunate trait for a tank, but forgiveable.
Joining the fray, murk eye quickly hopped onto persephone “get him off of me, he’s so slimy!” she yelled. Carlos and Margarita at this time were still towards the outskirts of our group so there was little hope there, and knowing of Javiers battle craze put me in a position of known responsibility. Mana depleted I rolled up my sleeves and grabbed murkeye by some of the spinous processes jutting from his back. Letting out a yelp he turned his attention away from persephone to me. Luckily I had placed a frosted armor enchantment on myself before depleting my mana, as he went to grab me I managed to utilized his chilled reaction to slip away. Obviously agitated by my prior exploits he continued his chase. This is when margarita and carlos seemed to have finished with their battle and came to my rescue. With murkeye chasing me and seemingly distracted of his surrounded carlos giving two quick swipes of his claw hamstrung him down to the sandy beach floor, margarita then trudging along with her trusty hammer was prepared to finish him off.
After striking him down, margarita and carlos exchanged pleasantries with the three of us and move back up towards the mainland. Our journey continued fairly uneventful for the rest of the evening until of course by chance we came across marg and carlos in the small town of moonbrook. Setting a trend of course our threesome came across the two of them surrounded by foe. Being pummeled by fireballs from all directions we watched as they took shelter in a nearby building. As we watched their foes chase them inside, hopelessly outnumbering the couple. We gave each other glances of approval and followed them in.
In similar fashion to most of our battles Javier quickly acted, persephone and I more closely coordinating our attacks cut down the foes which were focusing on marg, the most in danger of the group. After a quick well fought victory we greeted our friends once again. Carlos was utmost grateful for our aid, seeming to have noticed the danger his partner had been in earlier. After an exchange of food and water, we started to return to our mission when marg said something to our backs "Would you three like to join us in the mines?
