Bob, DangerBob. ::sips from his canteen of river water::

Lately I have become a tremendous fan of EQ2. I played it back at launch and hated it, but thanks to a recommendation from a buddy of mine I tried it again and I am loving it. I am not sure exactly what about EQ2 makes it a desirable game to me, but I know I have a house filled with modest trophies of my exploits, I run faster than a horse mostly because I can’t afford one, and I usually level out of a quest range before I’ve managed to do all the quests. This is enough for me, a simple traveling Monk.

I mostly game with a friend of mine, we tend to get into the same game and duo up and try and and make our impression on the game, we’ve played together for years now so we work well together and as a bonus, our personalities draw us to differing yet almost always very compatible roles in the group. Tonight we attempted to make out impression on Crushbone Keep.

We could smell the keep long before we could see it, the stench was visible, a translucent beacon rising over the horizon like the closing notes of WoodStock. Baz came riding up on her mare to find Bob casually leaning against the outer keep walls picking the rocks from between the pads in his feet. “Who’s this guy?” Baz asks, with a slight jerk of her head in the direction of a very dim but rather cheerful Orc guard. “Oh, thats Throg, he’s alright, he thinks we are here to visit our dad on the second floor for parent sibling day in the Keep.” “Is there such a thing as Parent sibling day?” ” Bugger if I know, but he bought it didn’t he. We need to get in there without the guards raising Kain about you, me, or that stupid Golem of yours.”

With that the trio boldly entered into the keep, their mission clear as charged by Whino, the drunken yet bitter Dwarven emissary for the god of Brell, Duke of the UnderWorld. Charged with a quest of vital importance to the interests of the Duke these 3 heroes where prepared for anything as they entered into the keep, anything except for the thunderous shout of ” Happy Birthday!” and the sight of a room full of Orcs adorned with party hats.

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode ” CAKE OR DEATH!”
