Introducing…

This is Flame. Jesslyn crossed hell and high water to tame her yesterday. She dropped of her faithful boar at the stables, and started the long walk from Loch Modan to The Ghostlands. We got through to Southshore with relatively few deaths. But made a mistake by trying to go through Alterac. And even bigger mistake was spirit rezzing there. That little adventure added an hour to the trip just trying to corpse hop my way back to the road. Anyhow, we got through WPL no problem, grabbed the flight point and swam the river to the EPL border. The first death was right inside EPL. But that sent us to the Darrowshire graveyard, allowing me to rez there and avoid Coring Crossing. I made a bit more progress before dying again. Another fortuitous event, as I ended up at Blackwind Lake. From there, it was a matter of corpse hopping through the bit of woods to meet the road nearest my exit point. So, a few more deaths ensued but I got to the road. I only died one more time after making the turn to the portal.

After entering into Ghostlands, I decided to suck it up and run right through the hordeling town. The NPC’s hit me, but they were easily ignored. Twice however the Silvermoon guards got the urge to attack. They get so uppity about a little dwarf in their zone. After that it was a matter of tracking beast until a Springpaw Stalker appeared. I tamed her, and hearthed back.

I thought my challenge was over. But today, a certain hunter (I’m lookin at you Kae) challenged me to find out if my cat was truly a girl, before I gave her a girly name. I couldn’t resist, so off to the undead infested ships in Menethil Harbor I went. It took several deaths at the fins of Murlocs, but I got to the second ship. For the 1 second my little cat survived after the curse, she was indeed a girl. I then named her Flame, and thanked all that is holy that I had tamed a known female pig the first time!

Thanks to the buff to pet leveling, Flame hit lvl 13 in less than an hour, she was lvl 7 when I tamed her. I just need to get the pretty girl some skills.
