Captain Blackheart, I hate you. Blackheart, you can go and get your skull stuck on an anchor. Blackheart, I hope you and First Mate Wavecutter live happily ever after, but Wavecutter gets eaten by Boethia and Vaermina sends you to the Quagmire. Blackheart, I hope your bones get scattered and you'll have to spend the rest of existence as a talking skull, watching as people steal your treasure. Blackheart, I hope you get sent to the Soul Cairn because Mannimarco wasted your soul gem enchanting a wooden sword. Blackheart, Captain Crunch is a better captain than you. Blackheart this, Blackheart that. Blackheart, I hope the Roost Mother steals your skull and uses it in a Tamrielic Hamlet play. Blackheart, be sure to eat three square meals a day--owait. Blackheart, I hope you read this. Blackheart, go straight to jail, don't pass GO, don't collect 200 gold. Blackeheart, go get turned into a living person and see what it feels like to be useless. Blackheart, go play as Lifts-Her-Tail's corpse for when she's caught for being a lusty argonian. Blackheart, No. Blackheart. Blackheart. Wavecutter. Blackheart, I hope you trip and your sword stabs your guts--owait, you have none. Blackheart is a gutless coward. Blackheart, this is a story all about how my life got twisted upside down, and I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell, oh to heck with this joke and Blackheart. Blackheart, I'm running out of ideas. Reader, are you really reading this, do you think I'm being totally serious (well I am, sort of)? Blackheart, I'd rather not. Blackheart, guess what? Blackheart, I am disappoint. Blackheart, Blackheart, Sheogorath, Blackheart...


I don't know what I was thinking volunteering to heal for this dungeon again. As usual, we had a rough run, especially because of First Mate Wavecutter and her 1HKO attack that we couldn't interrupt because we couldn't see the particle effect, or we were too distracted for the harpies, or because our dps/tank was out of stamina that precise moment, etc. We kept dying at that one part. Then one of our group members dropped out and we had to recruit another person from outside (a V5 DK tank, I was a V1 Templar Healer. We were escorting two people who hadn't completed it yet) and encountered that glitch where players are placed in separate instances. When we finally got to Blackheart, he immediately went after me (even though I was tackling the adds) and turned me into a skeleton. Since I was the only healer, even though I dropped a Ring of Preservation and Overflowing Altar beforehand, things immediately went downhill and everyone died because we couldn't keep up with the adds and Blackheart. Even worse, I found out Cleansing Ritual does nothing to affect being turned into a skeleton. After the 10th fail, we pretty much ragequit that run.

I'm done. I am never doing that dungeon again, even on my alternate characters. I've never had any intention of doing Veteran Content, but I'm not going to miss skipping out on this dungeon's Veteran difficulty.
