WoW questions c?
is there really any usefulness in being a warrior because i always die from classes like hunters and druids im lvl 19 night elf warrior is there something that will come up that will make me stronger for abilities or armour
world of warcraft warrior help?
im only 13 so dont be too critical
i call it Hunter
as i walked through the Forrest this night i could feel a strange essence in the air, it felt as if all life had vanished.
the animals were not seen nor heard,the flowers were dull and lifeless, i paused for a while to think what had happened,had my presence here upset the goddess of the Forrest or introduced the lord of darkness. no, what reason is there for such a simple hunter to attract or upset such powerful gods. i walked on forward scanning the area for something to bring back to the tribe, a bush rattled, i turned my body and aimed my bow. waiting for something to come out i remained as still ass I possibly, could i finally be in luck, had the hunting trip been a massive success.
Still aiming my bow I closed one eye and tightened my grip. I was as still as the statue to Almyra goddess of the Forrest. I had waited long enough to realize there was nothing in the bush, i dropped my bow and gave a massive sigh. i decided that i had been out for too long now, i turned and walked back to the tribe. How angry will the chief be. I am not waiting the torture of my return.
I entered the camp avoiding eye contact with anyone. Times were getting tough for the tribe, we the Almyra followers have started war against Palmyke followers. Palmyke was the god of love and wealth and believed to be the reason the tribes can thrive and expand. Our army was great in numbers but hard to feed. Me and the rest of my hunting squad were in charge of finding food for the normal people in the tribe. knowing I haven’t found the food required to feed them for the rest of the day was a good enough excuse for a civil riot. I sat down for a moment and started breathing slowly trying to calm my nerves for what I was about to do. Now was time for me to face the chief, look him straight in his blazing blue eyes and tell him the results of my hunting trip. I walked slowly and calmly over to the chiefs beautiful red and white silk tent. I slowly moved my hand over to the entrance of the tent, opening the tent while slowly walking in. the chief spoke. Leave now and never return. this is the last time you will fail the tribe.
What, But sir I said. Silence shouted the chief. Leave now he screamed.
The chief slowly raised his arm and snapped his fingers. guards came rushing in with massive spears and swords. 2 of them quickly charged me and grabbed me by the throat. Quickly two more grabbed my arms and the rest marched along, leading the way out the camp. At the end of the camp the guards pushed me into the Forrest.
I walked through the Forrest trying to find a place to shelter for the night. No where had seemed suitable as all the trees were perfectly standing. Suddenly I heard a loud howl in the air. I estimated it was 30 feet away, the creature howled again, something was strange this time. It was only a few feet away, but where was it. I spotted it. The creature was roughly 6 feet tall and had brown hair covering its body, long and very sharp claws coming from its hands and feet and a face like a wolf.
what do you think of my short story, unfinished?
So I’m writing a book. And the plot line calls for a curse that was placed on a boy and a few other beings. The curse needs a name.
The way it works is, this boy was once a prince. He never wanted this life he has come to live. He wanted to erase his existence. Every mage refused his request. He threatened to take his own life. But found himself unable to go through with it. One night a demon appeared, he said he would help the boy. Only on one condition. The boy would belong to him. So the demon cast his spell. Erasing the minds of everyone who knew the boy. He no longer existed. So now the boy works under the demon as a spirit hunter. To make sure the boy did not try anything “funny” the demon placed a curse on the boy and everyone who worked for him. If he was not within the spirit hunter chambers before sunset, he would turn to ashes.
So now that you know the story :) help would be greatly appreciated.
Need a name for the curse. If you have any input on the story please feel free to do that too.
Thanks a bunch
I need a name for this curse?

So, my brother just got WoW, and we have tons of friends who play it. He is a Troll Priest.
I haven’t even started making an account yet, and doubt he’ll even let me, but I can buy my own subscription if I have to.
I was thinking of being a night elf or a blood elf, and maybe undead, and for class, being a hunter or mage.Retarded losers who keep getting raped in the ass: FUCK YOU(that was to all people who kept flaming/sending rude answers)
What World of Warcraft race/class do you recommend?
*Askin
g for a friend*
I asked if this sounded too much like Twilight (if you read my other question) and people said it sounded more like Buffy, do you think it does?
‘Fifteen year old Madeline is a supernatural hunter by night and a school girl by day. No one knows about her, no one needs to know about her. She inspects different places where people have reported sighting supernatural things.
While out one night Madeline meets a demon whom she is meant to kill, but strangely, he doesn’t try to fight back. Startled with this Madeline begins to talk to him. She finds out his name is Ethes and he isn’t exactly a bad demon, he wants better but can’t have it.
Now comes the forbidden love of Madeline tryng to let herself get closer to Ethes without threatening herself, there is also one; her friend Zach has a crush on her. Will Madeline risk her whole life and hurt everyone to get closer to someone she isn’t even supposed to have?’
In the end Madeline ends up being almost killed by Ethes so she has to leave him and ends up going out with Zach.
So is it too much like Buffy? If it is what can she do to change it so it isn’t?
Too much like Buffy The Vampire Slayer?
*Asking for a friend*
Does this sound too much like Twilight?

January 8, 1209, 11:56 p.m.
A beautiful brunette maiden and her lover find themselves lost within a darkened wilderness of inner France. The lady, still dressed in her bright blue dress of velvet, is seated with her lover on the back of a chestnut steed. Her lover is armed in a full suit of glistening armor with a silver blade a
t his waste. His black hair and goatee are dotted with snow, as the night is calm and peaceful. They are escaping the lady’s noble father, a war hero and owner of a large, isolated estate in northern France. The woman’s father has proven himself to be an intelligent tracker, having sent many units of soldiers in search of them. Each were successful in finding the couple, but not in catching them. The woods are beautiful, yet cold. Neither of the two have any ways of keeping warm, as settling down and starting a fire will only attract the wary bounty hunters. They must keep moving.
The man snaps the reins of the horse, and they begin to move at a faster pace. However, the horse seems somewhat distracted. For this particular mount, distraction is an unusual thing. It stops. The man is curious, and pats his beast which seems to be in some kind of shock. It grunts, and begins shifting its head and body in many directions. The beautiful woman does the same, looking for any possible danger. There is nothing to be seen.
The horse then whips backwards without warning, and sprints nearly 10 yards. It then comes to a sudden halt and turns to the other direction, once again on the move. The maiden screams as she falls against the surface of the snow. The horse, once again, comes to a halt, and stares forward. The man dismounts the beast and runs toward his lover. The horse than dashes around its kneeling master and disappears into the trees.
The man aids his love in standing once more. As he does this, he turns to the direction the horse had been looking at before it made its final run. There, mysteriously standing just yards away from the couple was a man encased in black robes and hood. His hands are positioned in front of him, his right hand holding the wrist of his left. His face remained unshown. Without a word the woman’s lover unsheathes his blade and frowns. His lady hid behind his back.
He brought himself to speak. “Parler! Quel est votre nom? (Speak! What is your name?)”
The starnger revealed his face. His skin was the whitest thing the couple had ever seen. His eyes were black, and completely red. His cheekbones were extraordinarily pronounced. He slowly grinned, revealing his set of very sharp teeth, especially his eye teeth.
“Je m’appelle Lucien Crainte. (I am called Lucien Crainte.)” said the stranger. “Je la faim pour le sang. Le soin pour faire don de? (I hunger for blood. Care to donate?)”
The woman gasped as her lover frowned. The hood stranger than held out his hand. The falling snowflakes slowly seemed to form the shape of a blade. After a small amount of time, a long, deathly sword of snow had formed through powers unknown to the lady and her man.
But, at that moment, the blade of snow turned into a gleaming type of metal. The stranger bolted forward. The woman’s lover had no time to ready himself, and his nape was sliced open. The stranger stood above his opponents dying body, smiling. His reached down and gathered a handfull of the man’s squirting blood, and drank it from the palm of his hand. He then turned to the lady, who remained in shock. He smiled once more. Once again, the stranger lifted his blade. At that second, the lady was snapped out of her deep trauma, and entered reality.
The stranger was still there above her fallen love, his blade leveled with her neck. She acted as quick as she could, and swiftly reached for her lover’s sword. The stranger lunged his blade forward, cutting a strand of hair off of her head. As she grasped the blades, she was thrusted down into the snow by the stranger.
“Au revoir.” the stranger said as another smile went across his face. He swong once more, only to miss again as his target rolled to the side, the blade still tight in her hand. The stranger turned, bared his teeth, and raised is sword for another thrust. The lady rolled aside and…….
What happens next? (be as creative as possible)
Tell me what you think will happen next.?

This article is about the novel. For the 1955 film adaptation, see The Night of the Hunter (film).
The Night of the Hunter is a 1953 novel by American author Davis Grubb. The book was a national bestseller and was voted a finalist for the 1955 National Book Award.
In 1955 the book was adapted by Charles Laughton and James Agee as the film The Night of the Hunter. (film noir)
The story concerns an ex-convict Harry Powell who, acting on a story told to him by his now-dead cellmate, cons the cellmate’s widow into marrying him in hopes that her children will tell him where their father hid the money from his last robbery. After killing their mother, he embarks on a hunt for the children, who have sensed his evil and are running from him.
The plot was based on the true story of Harry Powers, who was hanged in 1932 for the murders of two widows and three children in Moundsville, West Virginia.
Grubb explores the presentation of the American South in the aftermath of the American Civil War. He uses tropes of the Southern Gothic genre to explore issues such as social corruption and instability. The figure of the Preacher is a symbol of the corruptive social force of religion in the American South. While the disruption of the family unit emphasises the broken sense of Southern identity after the War.
