What a difference 70's make

Saw a call go out in the Trade channel for people to do UBRS. Having only been there once and not even getting past the first rooms I thought it would be fun to go along. Got my awesome druid along (Wbang) and off we went. I should point out (because I am quite happy to share my newbness with you) that I didn't have the flight path to Searing Gorge but fortunately a summon was forthcoming. Milled around at the entrance as you do while waiting for pick ups to get organised. Then worked out that no one had the key. Found a friendly mage to do the business for us.

Right, now we can get to killing can't we? Sort of. We have a 70 feral druid and a 70 Enhancement shaman, no one wants the leader role, the healers are in the same group and only the 57 priest seems to know which way to go but isn't all that good at typing and telling us! Recipe for disaster? Nope, this is where the power of the 70 kicks in. Half the 10 man raid was level 70 and we just plowed through the mobs to the point where we kill General Drakk, run back to the egg room and I say "Is that it?" It was literally over in about 40 minutes once we got going. Only hiccup is the eggs. No one mentioned that you can't step on them either. I assumed that you actually had to click on them to get them to open!

Once that was finished and I was shown the flight point Wbang and I decided to see what we had to do to get the Shadowforge key for BRD. Okay, it involves voluntary death! Got naked, threw myself at a dwarf (that sounds bad) and waited patiently for him to kill me. Visited the ghostly form of Franclorn Forgewright then recovered our bodies. Decided to give BRD a go with the two of us and of course Stalk was there! Wbang ended up being the tank and the healer and I was on DPS. It actually worked out very well! Ring of Law was a piece of cake and we were able to just walk past a lot of mobs as they were grey to us both. Got quite lost trying to find Fineous Darkvire but eventually he found us which unfortunately lead to druidic death. I feigned death like the big girl that I am! Got him the next time and he was a hard fight for his level but I was rewarded with 445 exp at level 62!

Next stop was The Vault... I think we knew the Golems would come to life once we opened the last coffer but didn't expect another dwarf to join them and wallop us. Of course, you always have to go back and kill those things that kill you! One dead dwarf and four dead golems later the treasure was ours. Unfortunately it was BOP wand that neither of us could use. It's a shame to see these beautiful blue items go to the vendor.

Quick run back to the statue and we both got our Shadowforge key! Another key ticked off the list. We wanted to find the Dark Keeper who was near General Angerforge. That led to much running around until we finally read the instructions and found the lock which opened the door to his area. Bang was able to do it and kill only one mob. Once we got into the General's area we realised that the mobs were getting higher level, we were getting tired and decided to call it a night. We were very chuffed with how much we managed to achieve on our own!
