Sometimes you gotta do things, just to do them.
I don't really have a good comment for this comic, so instead I'll tell a funny story.
After the achievements were put in, the Alliance decided to raid Undercity while I was there. And this was an Alliance Raid at it's FINEST, that is, a handful of level 70s who knew what was going on, trailed by a dozen or so guys between level 50 and 65.
Theybust through the sewers without any problems, and mow down a few of us (myself included) right away. The Local defense chat is going crazy. How many of them are there? What level? As the truth comes out, someone types: "That's it? They don't stand a CHANCE."
I rez and join the raid that's forming to stop them, and together we run down the hallway toward our beloved Banshee Queen... I'll never forget what I saw at the bottom of the Hallway.
There's Varimathras, blocking the entrance to the Queen's chamber... and he FILLS THE DOORWAY. He cries out: RRAAWWWRRR!! The Alliance are there in front of him in complete disarray -- Panic! Screaming! Varimathras is one-shotting these newbs as fast as he can swing his fists.
The few that still lived decided to turn and run for it. There was noplace to go but toward all of us, along with another dozen or so Deathguards. They ran from Varimathras into a wall of death. It was a RIOT.
I'll never forget that. Since then, I've never looked at Varimathras the same way. He's like my hero now. In my mind's eye, I imagine the Dark Lady Sylvanis sitting there in her chamber, reading a magazine, and without even looking up she says, "Varimathras? Go see who's at the door."
