So THERE I was.....Follow

Have you ever had one of THOSE days? or instances... or even one-time events?
I'd like to hear about them - others may too.

I'll start:

So there I was flying in Skettis on my Epic- trying to do either the eggs quest or the Escort- or both- and I notice that I have a big fat "0" on my Feather Fall icon, meaning I have no reagent light feathers! And we all know how freaking annoying those Skettis Kaliri can be, but they usually can't do enough damage to knock me off my mount... Sure enough, WHAM, down I go. Now, I was tired of paying repair bills of over a gold or two and didn't want the inevitable next one, so I decided to try a "trick" I had read someone allude to in these boards, I was going to try to "Blink" at the last second before hitting the ground and see if that saved my hindquarters, since I was falling from such a high altitude that death was assured.

I adjusted the camera angle, I had time, it was a loooong fall, I was coming through trees and then -blink- I misjudged! However, with amazing luck, or perhaps it was fate rewarding me for trying such a crazy move, I did land on an exceedingly steep nountainside. It was too steep to move, and I was down to about 30% health before the fall, no damage from it because the crazy moved worked, but I knew I couldn't fall the rest of the way and live so I prayed that the little movement to eat and drink would not make me slide, and I sat. So THERE I was halfway up a mountain NO one, including K2 professionals could climb in RL, facing the mountain, butt hanging out, eating and drinking, and I get a tell from a passing 58 'Lock, "Ogpol" or something like that, that says just one word- "How?"
I contemplated bragging about the power of a mage, but I just went with "Believe me, you do NOT want to know," instead.

So what weird thing has happened to You recently???

I actually have gotten pretty good at timing the blink before I hit. It is good practice!

Poor MetalM !!! It's OK, you can say it.... BLINK. LOL that was hilarious.

But is that it? No more "So ther I was" stories?

This one time in Booty Bay, I was on top of that ship protruding from the wall of the inn right by the big log that sticks out of the front, I jump off and hit blink and it teleports me back up onto the log. Well, onto isn't the best choice of words, into would probably be better. Basically, I looked like I got skewered by a big stick.

I couldn't get out but I thought the guards bullets would dislodge me so I shoot at some Alliance and kill him, the guard moves as if to shoot at me, has me targeted but keeps sitting there like he couldn't. Maybe it was some LoS glitch, but I killed sooo many Alliance before I got bored and hearthed.

To ktangent...

I had an accident just like that, but at lower lvl 30-39 pvp in AV, a lock i kept meeting in 1 on 1 situations and i owned was there (way from Gold Mine to farm, near the water, so he fears me and , there i was just under the map , in my safe little ice cube ( frost mage) thinking, please dont break, please dont break, but never the less WoW is a waiting game and after 10 sec down i go flying nd dieing... gz warlock you owned me by default.

Very Kewl Bultrix, makes me wish Mages had a flight form, or Spell! About the closest thing I had to that was...

So There I Was... in the Caverns of Time ( I believe that's what they are called in Tanaris) and before you go down any of the major tunnels for different quests, you walk between two "windows" that look into space or eternity or whatever. Well I accidently "Blink"ed into the one on the right (as you are goin in) and started falling, and naturally and with no real logic, I did what every mage does, I feather falled, and feather falled, and feather falled- 4 times if I remember right. It was very cool, the map showed me crossing most of Tanaris almost back up to Gadgetzan. I had to have fell for over 2 minutes, all the time seeing planets and stars and stuff. Lots of fun. So, of course, I tried to duplicate it. And I found out you CAN! It is kinda hard but you can do it with and without Blink. And you fall for a very, very long time, then die. :( Too bad Blizzard just doesn't let you "out" where your little dot on the map says you are when you are done :)
