Okay so, this has to be one of my cooler random-tame stories.

I love world PvP, although there's not much about lately. Today I was trying to set up some screenshots for my fan story "The Travels of Gazkra, Orc." Unfortunately, someone was picking exactly the wrong time to wipe the Horde ogre base Dreadmaul Hold in the Blasted Lands. I sighed, finished what I was doing and ported to Org, then took the portal to the Blasted Lands.

Turns out it was a ret and a resto druid. Both were absolutely awful, and I had little trouble disposing of them (with the help of my trusty spirit beast Shiver). Amusingly, when they ressed and buffed etc and then came at me again (what can I say, I'm a sport), the resto druid popped tree form before throwing off any heals, got a scatter shot to the face into a trap... by the time that wore off his ret was dead. Apparently he had no trinket >.< In another amusing moment I failed at finishing off the ret midair with a slowfall, which then wore out and killed me--at the graveyard. The ret landed on my corpse and began to heal/buff, apparently intending to turn the tables, and ate a kill shot

So then I camo'd in a corner. I figured I'd let them leave if they wanted, and I assumed they would. But they instead found me while ghosts (which I'd expected them to do anyway) and opened on me after buffing/healing. Once the ret was dead & the tree's ccs were off, he tried to run for it. Can't have that!

Sent pet. The druid went cat form and started streaking off over the landscape with Dash. I disengaged after him, concussed--and he stopped, as if to meld + fly away (he's a night elf). At that exact moment, a HUGE spiky silhouhette came charging up from behind a dead tree and dropped a green AoE under the elf. I didn't realize at first what was happening--and then this huge beast was also chasing the night elf. When Kill Shot went off, and the druid died, my autoshot (despite being switched OFF on target change) shot the giant mob as well--but it was on Evade and all was well.

It was Clack the Reaver! He'd seen the action and just couldn't resist The elf was unable to escape with the mob having AoEd there (assuming meld was even his intention) and died shortly after; Clack cheerily went back to his spot and continued pacing about. I wonder if the druid was annoyed...

Seeing that Clack liked PvP as much as I did, and amused by the fact that he'd attacked my enemies and hadn't aggroed me, I led the allies away, fought a bit more, then came back a few minutes later (by a roundabout route, so that they wouldn't kill him mid-tame out of spite) and promised to show him some more PvP I have a green Madexx that I hardly use so I don't know how long I'll wind up keeping Clack, but his tenacity (no pun intended) and apparent attitude of wanting to get in on the fun meant I couldn't leave without him!

(Oh, and it occurs to me that he matches this week's guild tabard too!

Now for a name...

that was amazing. I had that happen on my old pvp server when waiting for heroic shadow labs. Nuked a paly as BM and i about fell over when he used lay of hands and high tailed it towards mana tombs... lets say he didnt quite make it to the instance

hahaha! He sounds like the perfect PvP partner. XD

What a brilliant story, you DEFINATELY had to tame him/her after that. =3 I've never played on a PvP server before, must be pretty fun and annoying at the same time

I like the name Clackers, I'm not sure if they had them in America, but they were a fad toy in the 70's-80's? in England, of two balls on strings that would make a funny noise when hit together (and, if 'clacked' together too vigorously, would shatter and pieces of plastic would end up in a poor kid's eye). It reminds me of the clacking sound scorpions make. =3

(The modern equivalent would be powerbuzz magnets? Sold for like £5 at novelty shops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UNtO9fY ... re=related is a vid of them in action =3 So possibly something to do with them? =) Just a thought!)

Rofl, I'll have to look into them They sound... dangerous!

And this isn't even a PvP server--when I started WoW I didn't know what I wanted to do, so all my mains are on a Normal realm >.< They just flagged themselves by deciding to destroy Dreadmaul Hold! (And I gave them plenty of opportunity to leave, but they seemed to want to try and finish me instead!)

He's a georgous model. It looks like even the Horde Logo was painted on him. For the Horde!~

That was a fun read Ache, sounds like it was quite the adventure!

Got a favorite PvP story myself, Was back on Crushridge a PvP realm were all be flagged all de time an even de rats travel in pairs for protection.

Dis was during de Wrath and I was travelin' across de Basin doing my own ting (tink it was ta travel to de oracles cause I jus really like aged yolk... don' judge me) when I noticed a hordie headed around de rim o de zone low flyin'... most like a herber or a miner looking for de tasty nodes.

Above an to de behind o dis hordie was a ally DK, just following him about, up ta no good (No ally DK eva up ta any good... we both know dis ta be true) so I slot myself above and behind de Ally just ta see what was gonna happen. So dere we were, a veritable stack of murderious intent, if Escher had been dere he woulda painted it under de title "Fish eat Fish eat Node"

Den we all struck! De hordie swooped down to slay a innocent saronite ore, the ally swooped down on de innocent hordie, and I swept down on all of em.... De results were a even exchange, we ripped up a node and planted a DK. Every so often I stop by ta see if dere be a DK tree growing dere where I drove him inta de ground like a seed but no luck so far...

Moral of de story....... nah dere no moral, I just like talking about planting DK's

Ahahahaha, I LOOOOVE that story!!

Haha, that's fantastic. Totally did the right thing, giving him a home after he gave you a hand like that. And he's so fancy looking, even! Y'all look nice together :3

I have to say, this cracked me up. You go, little rarespawn! Get 'em!

This story should be told to all the good little Horde girls and boys. It brings a tear to my eye.

Totally agree with Twitch - it's like a baby hunter bedtime story, Horde flavor.

I play on a RP server that has self-branded itself RP-PvP. I'm not too keen on fighting people my level, but I don't gank anyone either - I just play 'lowbie zone defender' and, very rarely, 'Cata zone defender if I have back up'. During the course of my Seeker quest-grinding I'd find guilds of level 20s attacking the Horde camps in Ashenvale because they were empty. They pretty much ran on a three-strikes system. Land and emote back and forth for a bit, wait for them to leave, and go back to questing. I wouldn't kill them unless they a)didn't stop after three interferences or b)taunted me.

By the time I had to fly all the way across the zone expecting the same guild again I decided I'd shorten it to two strikes and nuked the baby kitty druid mauling the bread vendor. There were maybe four druids total there, none over 30, and a 58 DK who was apparently the leader. I only killed the one guy, let his worgen buddy toss a rez and heal him to full and escorted them out of the camp with a few friendly emotes. Ashenvale has been suspiciously quiet since. "Thank you for contacting the Horde, have a nice day!"

They were very sweet guys all-in-all, even if they were attacking my faction. They were polite with emotes and left after I kicked one of their cats in the face - they learned pretty quick, and I'm actually excited about running into them again when they're my level. :P

I shall enter it into the Bedtime Tales for Trolls compilation ;D

I've named him Malice, because that's the impression that he gives me--a sort of wickedly humorous intent to harm

And by the way, I felt my one pic up above of wild Clack didn't do his size justice. When I said a HUGE SPIKY SHAPE, I meant HUGE. Those who haven't seen the resized Old World rares, well, here's some better comparison pics of Clack; he was respawned when I used my Last Relic of Argus tonight and wound up back in Blasted Lands





Just to give you some idea of the sort of WTF-esque moment I had, picture THAT coming out from behind a dead tree and attacking your PvP target!

Goodness he is rather large isn't he?

Woooooow that story is pretty epic, and hes.. really huge! Id almost say the size of madexx! He'll be quite the little pvper, he already has a taste for the alliance.

D'aaaawwwww. You two look awesome together.

LOL, that's awesome. I think you need to keep this feisty little fellow.
