So the other night I decide to go on a hunt with my friend Tamiyo <Empire> powerful wizard of Felwithe. We don't do teamspeak this particular night because it was late and our smoking hot wives are sleeping in bed behind us. We don't want to wake them. This was a casual hunting trip.

We roam through three different zones and our enemies fear us. a YT appears Gludan <Empire> the wood elf Druid was defeated by Odraga <Friends> in Cobalt Scar. We ask him what happened. He tells us an unbelievable story about a lone warrior running at perpetual bard speed (without a bard). Gludan is kind of a goof ball so we dismiss it as 'ravings of a madman' and quickly sortie to Cobalt Scar to investigate.

I teleport us in and change to form of the hunter. There is Odraga and a caster with an unintelligible name who turns out to be an out of range gnome caster - class unknown. I move forward and notice a group of wyverns chasing something who give away the position of Odraga. We pell Odraga and go to work. He is heavily buffed. I did annul+pumice at first and landed my dots. Odraga is running at me extremely fast even with form of hunter speed. I chloroblast myself every so often. The four of us buzz in circles around the area of the skyshrine tower. This filthy gnome was shadowing him and casting buffs on him as well so the pelling was less effective. To make matters worse, my wingman is kos to the wyverns. We begin to lose control of the battle.

His health was going down eventually but Herbey <Friends> shows up within a matter of seconds. I assess the 3v1 situation and decide to make a run for it but this epic warrior is impossible to shake and my gate gets kick stunned twice. I take two more lures from Herbey and the fight is over. Thinking back it would have been smarter for me to just run up the tower and click the skyshrine portal.

You will not find a record of this YT because the leaderboard was down at the time.

At first I could not comprehend how this fucking warrior was so fast. I never heard of this warrior. Odraga never said a word its just Herbey talking. Apparently this warrior has Pauldrons of the Blue Sky so keep this in mind when you face Odaraga <Friends> in the future. These things are re-chargeable.

Final thoughts:

Cobalt Scar is a deadly place I should have known. It is a step away from scum central (mischief) and it is has skyshrine, sg and a portal. That is 4 adjacent zones in a small area where your enemies can quickly come to assist. I praise Herbey this guys always manages to close the distance perfectly to land lures. I hate gnomes. gnomes are always played by the most unsavory individuals walking the face of Norrath. no offense.
