At the time, I wasn’t doing anything in particular. I had just turned in a quest or two, and was selling off some loot that I had picked up in the process of ridding Loch Modan of those pesky Troggs. A query went out over the guild channel as to whether anyone wanted to head over to the Deadmines in Westfall to have us a crack at the instance. Now, the average level of the Deadmines is around 20 or so. A 20th level character would be most appropriate in a Deadmines run. At the time, I was only level 15, but I strongly considered it.

First, because the person asking if we wanted to go was Silx, the Guardians guild leader. And second, because Silx was only one level higher than me at the time. So I tossed out one or two more pieces of gear, grabbed my axe, and headed for a gryphon. I arrived in Westfall to find some of my fellow Guildmates already waiting. Silx was there, as well as Bluhdemoon. BM has already hit the level cap of 30 and would for the most part be our guide and puller for the Deadmines run. He would lead our little band of level 15 – 30 characters on our merry chase. He’s a great puller and I was glad to see him.
