The Snapvine Watermelon Chronicles

I had quite a little crowd in Tarren Mill

For the last few weeks three of us (namely NiGHTS, TiberiusLazarus, and myself) have been having a good old time goofing off in Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad. We all three act like hawkers trying to sell Delicious Snapvine Watermelons for whatever we can get for them. I’ve gotten anywhere from 1 to 5gp for a single melon just by putting on a little comedy show and making people laugh.

Therefore, I think it is in order for us to organize a major guild event—going into Tarren Mill for an hour or so and really working the Snapvine Watermelon market. It would be hilarious and fun.

I started today

The call has been made.

At one point, I had maybe 10 people gathered round as I told a harrowing tale of the dangers of stealing…err.. picking watermelons from the fields of Hillsbrad. People offered me all kinds of items and money as condolences.

How’s THAT for some unorthodox guild recruitment?

After telling a sad story about how Kethark, Caballeros, and Nebelwerfer were doomed to huddle behind a barn while human farmhands searched for us, people really started feeling bad. I got all kinds of hugs and sympathy.

Stay tuned for more adventures in the Snapvine Watermelon chronicles. Who wants to join us as we sell watermelons and make the Horde adventurers passing through Tarren Mill laugh?

18 Dec 2013 ~ 6:32am primesuspect Snapvine decided to wake up from his long slumber and see what's changed in the last few years.

Tarren Mill sure has changed a lot

I didn't know how to get to safety since there were high-level Alliance killing people there, so I asked for help and this nice man offered me a ride to a safer place.

I asked where we were going but he assured me that he would take me to a safe place. He was Horde and level 90 so I trusted him.

Well he must have had to go because he suddenly left me without saying anything. We were in some kind of swamp.

It was scary and lonely. There were dragons and water elementals and lots of Alliance people, but they all left me alone for some reason.

Then this high-level Alliance person came up to me and tried to communicate with me but we didn't speak the same language.

So then we had a picnic. Sometimes you don't need words to make friends.

All in all, it was a nice day. I wonder where we'll go next?
