It didn't take long for this group to take shape, unlike the other one. The entire group was assembled at the meeting stone at 12:50. We went down, killed Techbot, got punch cards, etc, with one Druid tanking and the other healing. We entered the instance at 1:00.

Grubbis, no problem at all.

Down in the dormitory, we considered going to the escort quest, but now the trouble started happening (although it didn't last); the Pala didn't want to do it, slightly impatient, and our tank disconnected. It didn't stop the pala - he proceeded to grind through every mob on the room's floor, including the boss, instead of waiting for the tank to come back. This was at about 1:30.

Moving on, we had no problems with alarms (where were they? I seem to remember a lot more of them being about), I saw that Blizz still haven't fixed the mob routing problem in the Electrocutioner's chamber, and we just plowed through everything. By now, the pala was starting to get a little weird - I assumed he was Ret specced, by the way he topped the damage meter and was personally enjoying it, and he asked to need on some cloth shoulders 'because they looked cool'.

Still.

At 2:06, we kicked the tank, who still hadn't come back.

After Thermaplugg, we offered to stay in to help the healer finish collecting essential artificials, but she declined, thanked us, and left. The rogue helped me get my last artificial, and I thanked them and left.

Now comes the interesting part.

On the flight from Lakeshire (where my HS was set) to IF to hand in some quests, I got whispered with the offer of a boost in SM, by a Lv 73 DK. Ok, I accepted it, got summoned up there after handing in quests.

After a while, things became clear to me. The DK, while also bossy, was also quite mad. I mean, you'd have to be... to pull the entire chapel of SM Cathedral and survive. No offense to the DK in question meant.

We did all four instances, ARM and GY only once each, LIB and CATH several times over, during which I dinged -twice- before we finished up, and I, at level 32, had to run all the way from the Scarlet Monastery, Tirisfal Glades, to Southshore, Hillsbrad Foothills, because my HS was on cooldown.

So now I've really got to concentrate on the money side of things - I'm at Level 32 and I have no mount, and about 7 gold after the hunter training.

I did do some skill ups, but I haven't recorded them.

NEW ACHIEVEMENTS:
Exploration: Explore Redridge Mountains
General: Level 30
Dungeons & Raids: Gnomeregan
Dungeons & Raids: Scarlet Monastery

Also, I'm finished in Redridge, and it's time to move to some more mountains - Stonetalon.
