Tonight my level 34 Gnome Warlock, Bubonica, hitched up with the very excellent level 35 Merlion and wandered through Blackfathom Deeps.
Merlion, also a Gnome Warlock, proved to be an excellent fighting partner. Initially we were looking for extra party members, but there were no bites, so eventually we decided to go it alone, thinking we would probably get as far as the Twilight's Hammer acolytes and their watery maze and then give up. In fact, with a few spills along the way and despite getting lost after turtle island, we managed to get as far as defeating Twilight Lord Kelris and killing the turtles that appear after lighting the first brazier. After lighting the second brazier though, the crabs or lobsters which appeared overwhelmed our Voidwalkers (not to mention those that just plain ignored them and came after us) and it was time to leave; at which point the Voidwalker sacrifice spell came in very useful since the resultant 30-second duration shield gave us just enough time to hearthstone home.
All in all a very pleasant evening's play with lots of loot, though little in the way of experience points, and Bubonica got a beautiful new blue-titled staff: Rod of the Sleepwalker, 53-80 damage, +11 intellect, +10 spirit.
What is it about Gnomes and Warlocks though? It seems that every other 'lock I meet is a Gnome. I certainly wasn't aware of that when I created Bubonica, but she fits in right with the pattern since she is a Gnome herself. It's almost as much of a cliché as the Undead Rogue. At least she doesn't have the Mickey-Mouse-ears style of hair that seems to have become a Gnome-girl cliché too.
Meet Bubonica. She's wearing her new-today Dread Mage Hat.
Bubonica wearing her usual Engineer's Green-tinted Goggles. Now you understand why the new hat had to be pointy!
