One early morning when had just woke up from a well deserved sleep, Greb immidietly on my joining in the mental link we all share asked me if i wanted to join him in a looting of Uldaman. I ofcourse answered him that i indeed wanted to go with him, well there was great loot booty and treasure involved! He said to me that Tarquin and Trisky might join in also so we waited. After a while something came up for Tarquin, preventing him to participate in the pillage. With Triksy also not able to join in we decided that we should try and pick up some unknown lubbers as fodder for the great pirate captain and his ship doctor. Said and done we began looking and after half an hour of turning the cities up and down in search of some courageous lubbers (which under threat of extermination, they don't seem to come in that big numbers) we found three lads that was up to the challange, the priest Whital, the druid Methias and the warrior Yiorgos. All set and done we began our travel to Uldaman. The three lubbers went there before me an capt'n Greb, as the capt'n apparently was in no great hurry to get there. When he finaly arrived at Thelsamar the two of us began running to Uldaman and the others. On our arrival there we where ambushed by 5 horde belonging to the guild Aftermath and both Greb and me where forced into the spirit world. Once we gotten back we saw no trace of the horde, thinking us very lucky we made our way to the entrance of Uldaman and surprisingly we got there before the lubbers.
Once all where there the lubbers gave me and capt'n some weird looks as we had been, as is apropriate for a pirate before battle, drinking us drunk on rum. The team decided that the druid was to heal our wounds and not me or Whital, me being fine either way did not say anything about the matter i just began a ritual empower me with some shadow magic not unlike our own darkzillas magic or any other warlock for that matter, I let the shadowmagic flow through me and sorrounding my body. We began exploring the old city/building/stable whatever it is.
What we found was a lot of troggs, cutting our way through the entrance hall with ease we suddenly noticed that Capt'n Greb's cat Jinx was gone. We ran back and found Jinx in battle with a badly wounded trogg. Greb overjoyed with finding Jinx again. As we made our way through the first halls of Uldaman we suddenly had 6 troggs coming at us, we fought ofcourse and after a lot of close calls and angry shouts we won over them. Fighing our way through the troggs we came into an cave which was inhabitated by three dwarven survivors from the shadowforge takeover. After a long talk with the dwarven foreman and a long search for Yiorgos who had dissapered. (we found him eventuallty, sleeping...) the dwarven camp was attacked by 5 - 7 troggs, I never had the time to count them properly. We made our way out without the dwarves who did not want to take the risk of leaving their camp.
Fighting our way through trogg, trogg and even more trogg we finally came into a big hall with a miniature city in the middle and a BIG door in the far side of it. We rested a while, building up our strenght for the battles ahead. Out of curiosity Yiorgas inserted a staff he had assembled from parts found here and there in a house roof whih had a hole in it. The staff slided into position and began to glow in a blue light, suddenly the staff bursted out a beam of blue light towwards the door which opened. Out came the biggest woman i have ever seen ! I mean she was so big that....that there aint no bigger on the big things scale. She "ran".... actually it was more trotting against us yelling and waving with the big hammer of hers. After a long and bloody fight in which all of us had been jumping, dodging and running from her hammer we downed her, I was almost crushed when she fell down.
On her person i found meself a nice pair of leggins possesing some nice enchantments.
When we continued out of the hall into a small tunnel we got rushed by many scorpids, by a small bit of skill and a big bit of Grebs dynamites we dispatched of them very quickly, in this tunnel we encountered many many scorpids and bats.
We eventually ran straight into 4 shadowforge dwarves and one golem. All focusing on the golem inte fight we got it down pretty quickly, the dwarves on another hand did not die that easy. They got Methias down which forced me to force away the shadows from me so that i was able to heal the others during the fight. we got the dwarves and I helped Methias spirit to find it's way back to it's body. Seing how heavily encamped the dwarves where we decided to go another way, preffering troggs to shadowforge. We fighting our way through troggs finally came to the biggest golem i have ever seen, shining black metal it was created from which reflected all my spells back on me, giving me no chance but to fight with my wand. After he died he split inte several small versions of himself giving us some trouble. After the fight was won we lost Yiorgos again, we found him sleeping behind some rocks after a long while of searching.
After a long while of running here and there trying to find a way we found yet again a big door guarded by a so it would seem high ranking dwarf mage and his two lifeguards. We fought them and took 'em down easy enough, afterwards Methiast opened a box which contained the ruby he was searching for, when he did that 5 dwarves ran into the room forcing us to fight once again almost killed we draged our way through the rest of the tunnel, we came to an hall literaly swarming with trogg and they where not that overjoyed to see us. After a long fight and many dead troggs we where all forced into the spirit world but Greb who managed to fool the troggs. Making our way back we this time made our way forward with caution. After we downed the troggs we came to the trogg king Grimlock. Grimlock har with him his pet basilisk and two trogg guards. Me and Whital decided to take control of the two guards minds, turning them against their master. said and done we did just that and we got him down fairly quick, the guards being sorely wounded died by our hands short after. After the battle when we looted his treasures we found a nice vest with some good enchantments, the team decided that i should have it and gave it to me to use. we made our way forward to a alcove inhabited by many troggs, unfortunatly for us we all but Greb died...unfortunaly for them so did they. Greb got me back to life through use of his engineering tools. I was able to guide the others back to life. At this point the lubbers was tired of all the resistance we met and decided to take their share of the loot and go back home. Me and the captain having no other option but to walk out into the sunset happy with all the loot we got and a little angry about all the loot we missed out by leaving the ancient halls.
And that was the end of Capt'n an' Doc's pillaging of Uldaman for this time.
