Little Bo Peep and her flock of sheep ........... er .......

[zedxrgal]

Wolves.
*cracks knuckles*
I was given the Elwynn Lamb as a birthday present on my horde main and was told to watch for the epic emote it was said to have. For several days I watched and nothing happened. It just sat and ate. I started to think my lamb was broken or something. I decided to keep an eye on Cotton Ball while doing the Molten Core dalies to see if anything other then eating happened. I was on the quest where you kill the mob, turn yourself into a wolf and then howl on the corpse. I kill several mobs all the while keeping an eye on Cotton Ball to see her munching away like nothing is happening. I kill another mob, turn myself into a wolf, howl then see to my left a black Northrend Worg appear. In my mind I think that maybe some of the worgs had been put there as part of the quest but then saw this beast running right towards my little Cotton Ball and was horrified as it killed her. I sat there just and stated my shock and being horrified in guild chat. That was the epic emote I was supposed to watch for???? My little sheep being killed??
After that the emote started happening about every minute and I couldn't help but laugh and make comments to Cotton Ball. Then the idea hit me. Little Bo Peep and her flock of wolves but all with sheepy names. She is to only have wolves and then the Elwynn lamb. She will be a worgen. So with that Bo Peep was born. I went grinding away the best I could through the worgen starting zone to get out of there to tame my first sheep. The first was originally going to be that black NR worg skin in the human starting area but then changed my mind as I want several of the wolves to be epic tames and challenges. So with that I decided Mutton the barking coyote from Mulgore would be my first tame. This would mean at level 13 making the run from Lor'danel on Darkshore all the way down to Mulgore as alliance. No help. I geared myself the best I could for the trek which wasn't much and got to Lor'danel and started running trying to avoid getting eaten /killed. I make it to where Darkshore and Ashenvale meet and I sigh. So far not one death. But I hadn't got very far.

Ashenvale ahead

I start running more and now have an "aid" in the form of Thraxas who's willing to try and kill mobs for me. Issue is he's horde. We meet by Raynewood Retreat and I start running and almost die by the hands of the horde guards close by. Thanks to Drools my dog for taking the death on that one.

Oh no Drools

Run down and through the sneaky area where the northern Barrens meets Ashenvale and head down the road. I hear mobs dieing around me but just keep on running for my furry life. I see Dishu is up and MUST say hi and show her some love then be on my way.

Hi Dishu

I make it through to where the great divide is without issue and run to edge. I ran around and was trying to get to the other side. I was bouncing around trying to get over this one little hill. Thrax was probably laughing his orc butt off seeing this worgen jump around. I gave up that and decided to brave running past the tauren. This did not go well. Death #1 came at the hands of one of the tauren NPC's. At least it was quick. I have a marvelous idea noticing that the spirit healer had put me down past the taurn into the southern Barrens about the half way point to the Mulgore entrance. I think to myself "it's only a 3 min rez sickness". I rez right there then without thinking proceed to head into the overgrowth to the road. I guess the local raptors of the area didn't like the idea and I was instantly killed.

Go away! Sick em Drools!

This is when death #3 or 4 had happened. I respawn with only 1 min left and Thrax finally finds me. He had to have been laughing his orc ass off at seeing this level 13 worgen hunter getting brutalized. We run for it, at least I ran for it trying to zig zag my way to avoid as little attention possible which wasn't easy. The local quilboar clearly didn't like me either and I was killed in one shot by one. At this point I think I died several times in succession. Make it through there and come upon some hyenas who also didn't like me and one decided to eat me for an appetizer. I am not sure if I lived or died at this point. Running through I see Snort whom I love. I was overcome with love for him I forgot HELLO! LEVEL 13! and went to give him some love. Thrax kills him and I am honestly heart broken. I decide to /mourn /cry and over him and what do I get for my grieving??? One hit killed by a tauren NPC. I had to really facepalm at myself on that one. Run down down and over and FINALLY make it to the big gate and the south Barrens /Mulgore border. Head to the far right and a gap in the fence and down in. Wowzers. I made it. And I only died like 20 times.

It's beautiful Drools!

I look for the first barking coyote I find and release Drools (sorry bubba I'll come back for you!) and mash the tame button like I'm going after King Krush

Come on timer!

Obviously the tame went off without a hitch. I'm not sure at what point I lost Thrax but you my friend were a hoot to have along and I'm sure it was great comedic relief for you.
So Mutton is my first sheep in the flock

Mutton!

I've decided to make the run from Mulgore to Ratchet. Then the run from Booty Bay all the way to the Elwynn forest to get the black NR worg skin. No I don't need to but really had to much fun making the journey to get Mutton. This should be a hoot.

Anyone on Nesingwary, horde or alliance is more then welcome to join me in the run. My only ask is that you help only as a last resort. Last resort = I'm dying so much I cannot move. I will start my journey at 7pm pacific time 9pm Nesingway server time.
Thank you all for reading. [/color]
