We attacked the gryphon master, because we'd heard that your reputation *really* takes a hit when you kill him (and we assumed that your Bloodsail reputation would correspondingly increase greatly). However, we only got 5 faction points for killing him, as opposed to 25 faction points for killing the bruisers, so he turned out not to be worth the hassle. We avoided killing him the rest of the night in order avoid being accused of griefing. We were there to have fun, not to grief, and we wanted the other players who came along to get a kick out of the unusual sight of seeing Booty Bay raided by a bunch of pirates (at least, once the players realized that the NPC's respawn quickly). Besides, the last thing we wanted was to have people call in their big brother level 60's and get into a turf war. We just wanted to have a fun relaxing (possibly insane) night on the town.
After we killed the gryphon master, a couple of alliance players showed up on the scene. We shrugged, waved and apologized to them to let them know that we meant no harm. As you can see, one of them, Silthin, understood what was up. :D
One interesting tidbit we discovered was that now that we were Hated with Booty Bay, we couldn't even use the mailbox here or down at the bank anymore.
We shot Baron Revilgaz and pulled him and Fleet Master Seahorn as well as a posse of bruisers out to the platform under the gryphon master. I was actually surprised how easy they were to kill. I had thought Revilgaz and Seahorn were elites, but it turned out that they're not. Of course, a lot of bruisers spawned when we attacked them.
The platform area beneath the gryphon master turned out to be a great spot to camp for a while, because lots of bruisers pop or patrol into the area, and we could pull NPC's and bruisers from the top floors of the inn to us there. We had to back off after a while, though, just to give ourselves time to drink.
We went back out across the top of the town again, and just to get even more into the spirit of things, I broke out my Cannonball Runner, the trinket that spawns a small cannon that one can get from the cannon master in the Scarlet side of Stratholme.
Things were going pretty good. I mean, when you've got that much aoe firepower and healing power concentrated in one group, how could things not go well? We thought it was time to take on a bigger challenge and head down to the wharf.
UP NEXT: The Wharf, the Inn, and the Bank, Oh My!
