Leather & Lace Contender

I was trying for a theme, and no matter what, had fun putting this together:

Let me reintroduce Rökkr (named for shadowy mythology references). She was my second character in WoW, and waits ever patiently in her own metaphorical shadows at Level 70. Considering I have four at level 85 now, and Ceniza the Fire Mage Hawtness is Level 82, I do fear for Rökkr's status amongst the ladies of Sugar & Blood. I don't know what it is about rogues that has prevented me from truly delving into this extrememly fun class.

I realize it's not proper to wear white leather before Memorial Day (some of you know what I'm talking about), but hey--rules?! Don't need no stinkin' rules! She's a rogue, for gods' sake! In any case, while many go with rogues for the black leather and Catwoman-esque physiques (see Cross-Dressing Rogue, below), consider the silver/white of leather in the snowy hills of Storm Peaks. She'll be ready, when I'm ready.

If I can find her. (The red daggers will have to serve as homing beacons.)

Sometimes all you need is an eyepatch to look bad-ass.

Noobs need not apply.

A few stealthy souls I know have been working on this: http://www.mmomeltingpot.com/2011/11/rogue-legendary-dagger-in-wow-patch-4-3-the-weapon-the-stats-the-proc-the-quest-line-the-wings-and-yes-how-long-it-takes-to-get-them/

It's a good thing they have the pocket-picking ability, because even just to start it I was told takes about 10K.

Poor Rökkr--she and my Death Knight Morphemia were the second and third characters I started, and by far the most neglected. Not sure even legendary weapons will inspire me to play my rogue more, and am seriously considering sending Morphemia to boarding school.

But, damn....batwings? /sigh.

My my my my Garona...

So, not sure where I picked this quest up, and it took the spell power of Google to look it up*, but Rökkr received this lost libary book, and has been charged to return it tout suite. Now on this fine holiday weekend, there are Fridays to blacken and garages to purge, yet now I am compelled to go forth and figure this out:

Quest: Garona: A Study on Stealth and Treachery

It can be difficult to find the library, which can actually be accessed from either Dire Maul North or Dire Maul West. The simplest way is through Dire Maul North. After you enter the instance, go down the first ramp into the pit (full of ogres and dogs). To the left in the pit is a locked door which requires [Crescent Key] or 300 lockpicking. Through this door is a long hallway which leads into the Aethenaeum library (actually part of Dire Maul West). As you enter the library, Kildrath will be to the left (south), muttering about other lost books.

And apparently I will need a key:

Librarians are a tough crowd, so I'd better get this book back before the fines add up and deplete the guild bank. I'm sure Rökkr will stealth and put it in the night drop box without anyone being the wiser.

*Saw a Neil Gaiman tweet the other day that said something to the effect, "Google may give you millions of answers, but a librarian will give you the right one." Amen, Sir Gaiman.

So, just poking around on Battle.net, and apparently, my rogue had a sex change operation when I wasn't looking. I didn't think Azerothian Health Care covered this surgery:


 When I last left her, she was a freckle-faced, blue-haired Night Elf girl. I would say she was born that way, but pretty sure she wasn't. She did dabble in being a female human for a while, but that's about it. Now, of course, I would change her into a draenei, but we all know with those hooves she wouldn't be able to sneak up on anyone, but she would have a powerful kick.

Maybe when I have some time to play later she'll have gotten her stitches out and will be back to her cute blue self.

Señor: You must get Chap out of retirment for this. Seriously. Can't you just see that little gnome flying around Stormwind with wings? Hope no one mistakes him for a fruitfly.
