cold, wet and slippery



From the hot sand of Tanaris i've decided to make big change and i've gone to try a run in the Sunken Temple, also know as Temple of Atal'Hakkar... in the middle of a wet and stinking swamp :P



Only the top of the temple emerges from the water... and for to pass through its gate you have to swim in a green soup of mud and other things that, actually, don't even what to know what they are :P



Once inside you can realize how much this temple was precious and important in the past. All the walls are carved with nice drawings and pictures... even if most of them have something uhm... evil...

Probably i should go to learn the history of this place in the library of Stormwind... for i'm a bit curious to know what happened in the past and what the God of this temple was :)



Inside, the building is all made by loooooooooooooooooong corridors and little rooms/halls where you'll find a lot of enemies. Some of them are just trolls but most of them are monster 100%... things that cannot exist in nature. And so we have the duty to delete them from this world :P



You can see us doing the cleansing job... and the cutie priestess (me) kicking asses all around her ^____^.



The biggest room i've seen so far inside the temple is all built around a circular pit and i have no idea about the use of it. Was it used in the past for human sacrifices? Is it the only was we can have to go on another level of the building?

I don't know because, before to face the first boss, our warrior had to go and so we have decided to face this instance another time, alas :)



Anyway it's funny to think we haven't been the only visitors of this place. Here you can see our party and two little guys that probably have stayed in the temple too much.

I've always said that humidity isn't good for you health... look how much skinny they look like :P

The best views i've seen so far...



Yesterday night the good friend Rainé drop a message on the chat, asking for help... and since i'm a "bunny hop hop hop" priest I couldn't leave him alone sooooooo..... here i am to explain how it has gone and show you a new place i've gone: Maraudon.

Maraudon is an instance located in Desolace but, differently from that region, it is full of life and there you can see some very nice views with waterfalls, huge flowers and butterflies that caress your cheeks while you run with a deathwish into your mind :P



The first part of it isn't that much. Just dungeons, centaurs and some ruins that somehow remember me Uldaman. The common tactic "let's go 'n' kill 'em all" works pretty fine also because if it is true that usually we have to face 10 mobs at the same time... it's also true that they are low levels... and ehi! i'm a priest so i won't get my hands dirty and i'll leave the others make the hard work. In fact in the photo you can see me drinking while the others are getting fun. /cheer :)

Then... you find a waterfall... you jump down and....



Everything changes!!! So beautiful waterfalls.... nice sceneries... turtles that call my name and little fireflies that draw my shape in the air. It's a shame that Desolace has some nice places to see like these but they have to be so concentrated in Maraudon. It's not fair at all considering that when i was younger i have passed a lot of time in Desolace killing centaurs for silk and outside this instance well... the place sucks :P



The last thing Maraudon taught me is that not all the princesses are nice and with a smooth skin... i already had some doubts reading the gossip's magazines but herei got a stronger proof since the big ugly monster of the instance is a princess.

And she has 3 eyes, 2 huge fangs long as my arms, a belly with a tattoo on it that says "Fast food is welcome!" and, above all, a very bad behaviour.



Well... we died >___<'' and not once, but 4 times.

Maybe because she was envy of my shape she killed me as fast as she could and then passed to annihilate the others. Let's hope for the next time... because i really would like to see how much tall her belly is when she lays down on the floor :P

Another boss bites the dust :P



Finally i've been able to finish Uldaman :)
I've been invited by a very good party that i know and that helped be a bit with some quests and instances before. So I have taken the gryphon at Loch Modan and passing by the dam of Ironfonge i have seen the old kings of the dwarves smiling at me... maybe for they had an happy secret they wanted to share with me :P



Since the beginning i understood that time was different, the giant lady of the map chamber fell down in a few seconds thanks to the warriors and paladins... and the mage as well. It's a real satisfaction to see the bosses fall down so fast... and i didn't have to use too much mana to heal my mates, eheheheh :)



We walked and killed and rested and killed and walked... till we arrived to the sancta sanctorum of the last boss...



...and as usual this huge golem started to yell something to us but we had no ears for his useless words so the tank run to meet him, the rogue walked fast behind him to make him daggers find a way to his stone heart, the mage iced everything around herwhile the warlock casted all his curses...



...and the little priestess waited since no one was harmed yet :)



After long seconds we were finally able to /cheer and /clap. Geee.. even laying down on the floor this boss is taller then me :/



Once the boss has been wiped out the doors of the treasure room open and so you have then chances to complete some other quests ^^

I'm very satisfied :) and i really believe that i'll come back to Uldaman one day also because the Master Enchanter lives in this way instance and i'm so hungry of knowledge...
