A Tale of Two Hordies - Part II

BRK » 18 January 2007 » In PvE, Quests »

Have you done the goblin merchant quest chain in the north-center of Hellfire Peninsula? If not, I won’t ruin it for you, but do not leave this map until you’ve done them. OK, just one sneak peek. The first quest is called, “Outland Sucks”.

So I was doing the final step in this quest chain, which involved going into a very shakey and demon-stuffed mine and killing the named NPC at the bottom. The tunnel was shaking as if a Fel Reaver (Fel Reavers FTW!) was standing on top of it and doing jumping jacks. And the demon NPCs were respawning at the same rate as all the other mobs in Hellfire Peninsula, so if you are the only one in the tunnel, you get demons spawing like relatives do when you hit the lottery. They were everywhere, I just couldn’t get through them all, when up trots a female troll hunter.

She was wearing a lot of Beaststalker/Beastmaster gear; the cap was particularly noticable because, as we all know, it’s so d@mn ugly. Only one hat uglier, and that’s the Whitemane Chapeau. I’ve seen a 51 shadow priest pwn Alterac Valley wearing that hideous thing, just because the Hordies were wretching into the snow and couldn’t put up a fight.

But I digress.

So this female troll hunter goes into the tunnel as I sit and recover from my attempt. Suprise, less than a minute later, out the huntress runs with a murderous crowd of demons chasing at her heels. She FD’s and they go back, and she sits facing me to eat and drink.

I wave. I’m polite, sue me. She waves, how nice. Hunters, I just love em. I start dancing, she starts dancing. I laugh, she laughs. I run over to the tunnel and start jumping. She runs over and starts jumping.

I think we have an understanding.

We go into the tunnel and she targets and attacks the first mob, while I go after the one her cat aggros due to the demon-density of the place. Those two mobs go down quickly. We move on, this time I go first and she picks up my add. Taking turns sending our cats to attack the nearest demon and picking up adds, we make our way through the tunnel, killing everything because it’s good XP and we’re both demon-detesters.

We arrive at the named mob, and it’s her turn to go first. Her cat hits, then mine, and we both take the elite demon down. And sure enough, she stays and waits with me for him to respawn so I can get credit for the quest too.

We fight our way out - the tunnel has completely respawned behind us - and we both turn-in our quest. I wave, she blows a kiss, I blush prettily. She hugs, I hug, she’s gets on her raptor and rides off to the south. What a nice Hordie… I wonder if she’s thinking, ‘What a nice Dwarf’…

And then I remember that I didn’t take a single bloody screenshot of anykind.

    Gentle readers, the Diet Coke of Evil, (”former”, my supple, tan @ss), is my former AV partner, and one of the all-time great friends this hunter has ever had. Our slam-fests in guild chat were legendary. Our relationship was seen with jealousy by some, awe by many, and feared by all. Good times, they certainly were.

    It is a great pleasure and an honor to have her contribute to my blog.

    BRK Readers, please say hello to Princess, the Diet Coke of Evil. :)

    This story here represents my experience so far with most of the Alliance on Cho’gall. Of course, Cho’gall is a PVP server.

    Unfortunately, as soon as more people hit 63-5, I’m sure the ganking will resume as usual (because gankers are usually either cowards with no skill or very bored). My hope is that the large size of the Hellfire zone will prevent it from becoming another Stranglethorn Vale (aka ‘Nam).

    I heard female trolls are wild in bed, but this was coming from a gnome, so who knows…?
