Twas a story that vaguely reminded us of our nintendo days. Princess Huhuran (read Princess Peach) is the only one who could undo the evil magic that C’thun (read Bowser) had cast upon the Azeroth (read Mushroom Kingdom); it was for this reason that C’thun (read Bowser) had kidnapped her to begin with. It was up to Renai”MarioLuigi”ssance to rescue the Princess and restore the peace.
Our buddy Frank (scroll down for his saga if you are unfamiliar) had heard rumours of the Princess having moved into his neighborhood, and we finally were able to track her down to an amphibious (read ambidextrous) lair inside AQ40. She hovered inside her lair, MCed and preying on unsuspecting parties of brave adventurers and cabals of sneaky gnomes. We observed her from afar and planned our strategy. One thought, however, continued to nag at us from within: “This was nothing like Super Mario Bros., and it ought to have been.”
Our strategy involved all of us standing in the water during the boss fight, since the water negates any poisons from Huhu. Tricky, huh? After that, it’s just a straightforward rogues/hunters tank, mages/locks/warriors heal with bandages, and priests/pallies/druids all out dps fight. Blizzard (read Nintendo) did a great job in creating a backwards strategy fight.
After she was defeated and her MC’ed form departed, we were alarmed to find that the figure she took was that of a mushroom retainer we vaguely remember as Hakkari Frog (read Toad). She exclaimed, “Thank you Renaissance, but our princess Huhuran is in another AQ!” Alas, we were going to need to travel another AQ in search of the real Huhuran. In the end, this was all very much like Super Mario Bros., and we took comfort in that. There is more fighting to be done, but the world will be safe once again…soon.
Summarized with the immortal words of Valk: “Renai rules Huhuran drools.”
