Hi there.
Some of you may have seen in the weekend summary thread that our guild was lucky enough to have the Swift Razzashi Raptor drop from Bloodlord Mandokir over the weekend.
I really wanted the kitty mount, but rolled on this anyway. What the heck, right?
I won with a 93/100.
I didn't have the money for the riding skill, but my guildies were nice enough to loan me the money to get the epic skill (I think it helped that I had offered to help them all out with their repair bills earlier). So that night, I was able to mount up on my first epic mount. It was pretty funny because as an Undead, I have to go to Brill to get the skill. I rode over there on my Undead Bonybutt horse while still under the effects of Yaaarrrr! from a savory deviate delight. The newbies were freaking out first of all at a "human" in their midst, and then doubly so when I mounted up on a giant green raptor! Our guild's Alpha Warrior happens to be a troll and he had his epic raptor out so we took my new ride out for a spin around Brill and then into the Undercity.
UC has some beautiful architecture and seemed the perfect location for a photoshoot. Here is one of the nicer shots. I'd like to put more up because Akuin (our trollish tank) and I got some nice pics together with our raptors so you can see the differences between the two.
I'm kinda sad that I got the raptor instead of the kitty, but I'm happy to have a unique epic mount. Well, I know it's not UNIQUE, but it's not every day you see an Undead riding around on a raptor...especially one with glowing eyes.
In other interesting news, I have a friend who is an Undead Warlock who rides an epic kodo. Talk about excessive! heh
