Purple and Orange - Halloween [Big image on 2nd update]

[rewster]

So after finishing off my dailies with my paladin I was all "super I get to open one vendor!" and ran to get the plate guys quest. Before that I had finished Druids of the Talon quests (in hopes of a bombing run quest), this information is important to this taming story. I get back to Molten Front and go look for the goblin. Huh... I see the ? mark but no goblin. So I go to WoWhead and read comments that she'll be either at the Warden or Talon "outpost". Well the first comment said Wardens so I prance my merry way up the slope, wondering why I see no NPCs and then I screech to a halt.

"Did I just see a big purple leg there?" *peers to the side curiously and fangirl screams*

So I look around to see if there's any hunters working up their way there. No one around. Indeed it was only 9am~ and I had been plowing through mobs for boredom while mining in Hyjal. So I logged to my hunter. Dismissed my wuwly green T-rex and made my way to Molten Front. By the time I got there I was sure that someone would be either trying to kill Deth or tame her. But nothing again. o.o
I killed the spiders at the corners and left unlooted, pulled out my Kirix and hugged him for goodbyes for now. "Ya be good spidey now mon." I mumbled to Deth and took a deep breath as I launched my snake trap and ice trap on the path of my kiting and then... serpent sting+concussive shot and my darling Chloris Dashed to be nommed alive.

Kept telling myself to keep it cool and keep it together. Just focused on strafing and launching traps of snakes for Deth to snack on while I revived my pet repeatedly. Ice trap and concussive shot were repeatedly on cooldown. Around at 64% hp I saw a paladin come over. He saw my spidey just die and began to whack the angry purple to make her notice that there was food next to her legs.
I dropped another set of slows and began to revive my pet while the paladin got nommed and Deth turned back to me. Eeep! I got my pet up and quickly re-applied serpent sting because it had fallen off. I saw the paladin rez back up and follow near by. He got aggro at one point near a tight turn that I made, but it helped me to correct the pulling actually. So finally after a few more sacrifices Deth was at 26%. I actually then began to fail getting her to use the Deth Strike. Why? I'm assuming because my angry green would die from simple melee hits, but then by some miracle Chloris dodged. I got my butt away from the tight spot near the edge of the platform, abandoned Chloris, laid down slows and began to tame while the paladin made sure that things were safe behind my back.

It was a tame. Yay~
Afterwards we spoke a little and the pally told me he would want Deth on his own hunter, but hadn't found her unengaged ever. After that I went to do the dailies on my hunter and test my new angry purple. I don't have neither Wardens or Talons unlocked on my hunter. Logged and switched to my Druid.

I decided to do Wardens on my druid because it felt easier now that I wouldn't feel all "sad face" if I saw Deth up there fighting someone else. Finished the first dailies with spiders and noted Anthriss, shrugged and left it alone mainly because it shares colors. After getting to the cave and punching out two runes I blink at the truly rare sight of a health bar.
Well la di dah~ look who is having a bath in the lava! Solix!

I finish the rune quest and heartstone to safety. (pvp server after all) I go check what did Solix need and log back to my hunter. Dismiss angry purple and fly to the Molten Front again. Also again expecting someone to have tamed it already or killed it. But no, I dodge my way to the cave and I see an alliance druid doing the rune quest, but completely ignoring Solly. I had glanced a quick youtube video and decided to give it a go. I drop down ice trap and wait for the CD. Then pull with concussive shot and begin strafing with Cheetah on.

And then... d'oh! I knew something was going too well. I fail in my own controls and fall into the lava. Much to the lol of the alliance druid who then leaves the cave. Feign, reset, get my butt out of the lava and take two.
This time I decide to lay the ice trap to a different angle. Then I panic! Eep! Alliance mage, coming straight at the place where I am and most certainly going to step on the trap by accident. I hastily pull as the CD is down to 9 seconds and strafe away. The mage steps on the trap, probably just as surprised as Solix was again and uses a Frost nova which actually helps me. I drop another trap and concussive shoot again, keeping the shot on cooldown basically. I did I thin only 0.7 of a lap there and Solix was down to approximately 30 energy I think. idk I just evaluated since I don't have the numbers up on the UI.

Final shot, deterrence and tame. Just when I hit the tame I curse that I forgot the haste potion. I hold my breath as Solix comes to gnaw on my face two times before the tame succesfully ends. I sigh from relief and then look around at the wall of red standing near by. I had gained a small audience from the alliance players there. I apologise with an emote and quickly heartstone out due to the paranoia of getting group ganked, but I do see a few /cheer emotes when the loading screen fades.

And now to name these two. Angry Purple and Angry Orange. o.o (I call them angry because they both basically need to be kited to stay alive and not let them eat your face.)

I'll add to this post then my continuing luck.

I decided to go have alook if there would be little greens around the spider area. No luck. *sad face* So I decided to go have a look at the harder to get by tames. (aka. Karkin, Skarr, Kirix and Skitterflame) And oh my I saw three hunters go running through... no wait just one hunter. I make my own way to there and what do you know Kirix is there have a party. The hunter had no clue how the tame goes so I said it'll be easier for him to go grab a survival spec while I keep an eye on Kirix. I make my way up there and mark the platform for the hunter. While waiting I explain the rock taming tactics to him and notice that Skitterflame is up also. Huh... it has been around... 1 hour 30 minutes maybe while I was pondering names.

Well our brave hunter fellow comes back and I go fetch a core hound from a near by stable master. (It should be put on a wall somewhere that the closest Stable is at Grove of Aessina and that the Brimstone hounds can't be tamed. O-o!!! I tried.) I walts my way through while the fellow hunter tries on his own to tame. Failing drastically :<
Well we get in position and I pull out my trusted Sphÿker. I tell him to pull as soon as Kirix gets in range and put up Hysteria. The tame goes to the end before Kirix even manages to cast the poison bolt. O.o So much haste! I bid him farewell and more luck on rare spawns while rushing out of the Molten Front to Hyjal because something shiny had caught my eye and given me a heart attack when I went to get the core hound.

I begin to discard my gear into bags as I look for the blue hued sparkle kitty. I see him! And I see a warrior charging straight at the mob... and die (and then I died in laughter in my head). I giggle as I get a whisper from the warrior asking how the hell is that thing supposed to be tamed or killed. I just pop deterrence and tame while replying "take off armor". The tame goes off and... I'm a new owner of Magria.
I go put my core hound back to stables and muse to myself that "I guess that just leaves Ahnka and Ban'thalos. So I stay around and idle while trying to land on the damned thing called tree. x)

Well what do you know, my NPC scanner wardrums go off and Ban'thalos is flapping up there.
I fall to almost my death two times while hurrying myself to geta proper landing. I even get the Going Down? achievement much to the lol's of others who probably were watching.
Aha! Finally I got to the correct position and I lay down my trap, mount up and use only spacebar to go up and pull... with a facepalm worthy serpent sting. D'oh!
><; At this point I thought I was a goner. I quickly pop Deterrence as I land and tame, fearing for my life basically with the tame. I hate heights. Much more when there is an angry spirit owl spamming moonbeams on me. The tame ends just when I would've died. I... I had... 2.5k health left. I shiver mount up and go out to the balcony for hyperventilating and getting back to the grasp of reality that I'm more lucky in-game than real life.
