...ew? Sometimes I think the quest writers at Blizzard have a very twisted sense of humor.
There's also a very cool and very rewarding questline called the Ring of Blood. While turning in some quests at Garadar, I notice a Mag'har Gladiator training for something while a bunch of kids watch. I talk to him and he mentions the "Ring of Blood" in the Laughing Skull ruins to the North, but tells me I don't have the
guts or the strength. I'm not nearly stupid enough to enter the Ring, am I?
Oh, I'm twice as stupid as that!
To the Laughing Skull ruins, folks!
There are quite a few Warmaul Ogres around (and I take the opportunity to put them down for a quest), but there's something unique a bit farther into the ruined town. There's a pit dug in the ground, and I see some Horde and Alliance waiting around it. There's a large Ogre called Mogor
, and a smaller Goblin named Gurgthock next to him.
The Ring of Blood, as the name might suggest, is a pit for combat. Mortal combat, in fact-but it's not a video game.
Er, actually, it kind of is. But that's not important! The Ring of Blood is, for all intents and purposes, Thunderdome. Two men (or Orcs, or Trolls, or Elves, or Gnomes, or teams thereof) enter... one man (or Orc, or Troll, or Elf, or Gnome, or team thereof) leaves. Oh, society-legalized violence. My kind of thing!
The Goblin offers to sponsor me in the Ring of Blood, but doesn't have much confidence in my abilities at first. It must be the dress. I laugh in his face and tell him that I'll take whatever he throws at me, no pro...
