Phat Loot Phriday: Jaws of Defeat
The druid returned to consciousness slowly. He found he couldn't sit up; he was stretched across a leather cot. The worst of his wounds were bandaged and cleaned. He admitted to himself he was surprised.
"Good," Lolegolas said, again surprising the druid. The two of them were in a small camp consisting of a tiny cooking fire, the druid's cot, and a log for the blood elf to sit on. It lacked even a tent. "I was worried."
"What happened?" the druid said. He finally found the strength to sit up, swinging his legs over the side of the cot. "I was trying to get free and bring ... Throgg! Throgg needs us!"
"I know," the blood elf said quietly. "The Grimtotem tossed you into a river. I found you on the way to the top of the bluff. They left you for dead. I suspect if it weren't for your particular curse, you would be. Can you walk? They will execute Throgg in the morning if we're not in position soon."
The druid muttered a quick prayer. Green lights circled his body, invigorating him. "Healing is not my strength, but I am capable. We can go. What's your plan?"
Lolegolas proffered a small trinket in his hands. It looked like the jawbone of a tiny shark. "We'll snatch victory from this. The Jaws of Defeat. One of the most powerful magical artifacts used today. I have a plan."
The blood elf cast his gaze to the bluff overlooking Grimtotem Central. "We're out of time. Let's go. Ride like the wind, druid. Ride like the wind."
Next week, the conclusion of this part of the tale (and the return of more jokes) ...
%Gallery-96786%
Type: Trinket
Intellect: 383
Item Level: 378
Use: Your next 10 spells cast within 20 seconds will reduce the cost of your holy and nature spells by 110, stacking up to 10 times (2-minute cooldown).
How to get it: Kill Staghelm. As much as you Horde players think you will enjoy doing so, your joy will be an iota of the bliss felt by Alliance players killing him.
How to get rid of it: Sell it for 8 gold, 5 silver, and 7 copper, but this price seems awfully low for an ilvl378 trinket. Better to get the Maelstrom Crystal.
