The other day when i was hunting in Steamfont a Guide showed up and was just
standing there next to us. He was kind of fun to talk to, explained to us
why we dont see GM Solist anymore on Sol Ro, Seems he got killed by Nagafen.
And from there a second guide guild was formed, an evil one...

Anyways, i asked him if he would race me, i equipped my mm drum and blasted
way ahead of him, but turned out he didnt have run on (duh)

Next 2 rounds of races we did we were neck and neck for each race. Im sure
my level 40 friend would of left him in the dust

If he's still around when i hit level 50, we've got another race to do, me
and this little gnome

i think i gave him a new respect for bards and their speed.
