Dude! I want my kodo! Leave me alone!

Okay so I am 29, inching up with enough savings to get close to being ready for 40th and the mount buying time.

Well... I want a Kodo. Yes, I am an orc, but I want a kodo dangit! So, I am grinding rep in the TB area. Screamed through the Tauren starting quests and moved to Mulgore to do the Bloodhoof Village ones.

Out gathering my stones and seed/nuts for the quests, killing swoops (how much I hated those things as a young tauren) and raising up my unarmed skill. Yes, I was punching all my mobs to death and my pet was just sitting there on passive. MUNTARD FOR THE WIN!!!!

So, minding my own business and such, when the defense channel starting spamming:

Bloodhoof Village is under attack

Hrm. Hey don't kill my quest givers you silly alliance dudes. I am on my way back to the village anyway and a 5oish level Warrior runs by on his way too. So, I go check it out.

2 mid 20's level NE hunters. Interesting, both flagged.

I don't really want to get into world PvP I am rep grinding here. But one of the NE decided to chicken cluck me and then challenged me to a duel. Did you know dueling cross faction flags you when you kill the other person? I didn't. So...I kill the higher of the two hunters because. They suck. Although they do have one of those spitting snake things. Hate those. But I digress.

Whitemane is my cat. He's white and he loves to chew on tasty mobs and allies and NE and gnome are he favorites. I send him to chew on the NE, I ice trap the spitting snake and start the pew pew. Oh did I mention I had been battlegrounding before that day? And I am set up for Battlegrounds with my gear is stamina heavy. And my pet doesn't have growl active, but bite? Perhaps I should have mentioned that to little NE girl/boy. Don't both of them have girl type looks?

The other hunter just stands there as the first goes down. Um..hello, I just flagged. You don't stand there. I rip the 24 lvl hunter apart. Really, he's toast.

I was all good with them being dead and me going back to turning in quests for rep. BUT no...they gotta attack me again....before they are fully healed back up. Both go down again. About the same spot too. Really, run away, seriously.

They come back and are smart enough to move away before rezzing. We find them and I attack. Forgetting that I am low on HP too and that stupid snake gets me. Normally I ignore the pet, but this time I decide to be a jerk and kill the pet first. Stupid Stupid Stupid. I die. come back and rezz and the warrior is chasing the higher of the two (the lower apparently wasn't rezzing after 4 deaths, by me)

The hunter is running across Mulgore (heading toward TB for some reason), weaving around mobs so as to not pull aggro. She's got a head start on me and she has cheetah and so do I. What she doesn't know is Whitemane has Bestial Swiftness. So he can run just as fast as she can. He doesn't have to weave like she does because he doesn't care about aggro. He cares about a NE snack. He catches here and stuns her. That brings her into my range and she gets a concussive shot to make sure she understands life is about to get ugly. Long story shorter, she dies. Her fourth death at my hands and I decide I've had enough and head back to the BH village. Apparently that was enough for her because she came back unflagged. Heh.

I understand your kodo desire. I used a wolf until 60, but the epic kodos are so much better looking with my orc!
