Terrorpene & Blazewing; Terrorpene speaks. A tale.-Hunter Pet Discussion-Hunter Forums-HuntsmansLodge.com

Being a whimsical throw money at anything kind of guy, I decided jewel crafting should be my next profession to max. Sure it has some styling Hunter gems and a funky trinket but mainly the reason I decided to do it was for the prospecting! Creative destruction n such.

This past Sunday I’m cruising around Hyjal mining my lil dwarven heart out and make a pass over Sulfuron Spire when NPC scan blasts off. I really should get that for my alarm clock buzzer.

However I digress. It’s Terrorpene and I’m practically parked on top of this incredibly cool turtle (never thought I’d say a turtle was cool but the Pener is )

So, I of course am totally calm in a freaking out  “please no-one whack this before I can tame it, where can I land, there be giants here, oh man I have no buffs on, what did I read this thing attacks with” kinda way.  Being the self-delusional hunter I am I figure none of that is a problem. I mean I’m a L85 BEASTMASTER and this is a punk L81 Beastie, nothing to it.

I plop the Hippograph down, fire off a shot to get the big fellas attention; which I did. For a turtle he moves remarkably quick when ya poke him. Did you know he spits flame for 10k a pop damage amongst other nasty things? Well you do now.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to cast deterrence. I don't recommend this as a viable strategy. The Pener is interrupting the tame (even though dialogue said I was taming it) and overall, beating the hell out of me. So I do the honorable thing, run away. Those pools of fire sting. 

I heal up and give it another go. I wont bore you with the details of all the incredible skills and such I used to tame him (though they were exceptional ), suffice to say the bad boy was conquered and mine! I wanted to make sure I was totally unprepared in every way, seems I have no food with me this critter likes. No problem, I jazz him up with mend pet til he’s grinning like a turtle who just found out he isn’t going to be made into soup.

Naturally I am trying to get the perfect SS of me and my new pal for posterity's sake when NPCscan blasts again. Blazewing.

Now NPCscan and Blazewing have issues, I’ve had it go off several times previously. Seems Blazewing has an NPCscan radius of three zones or something. So I halfheartedly click the icon, this time it locks and a blur of day-glo undies pink goes zooming past me. I mount up on the Hippograph and am in hot pursuit. In case you haven’t gone after Blazewing, he’s aptly named. Man does it move.

So I’m screaming at and whipping the Hippo. Given the grinding I did for it, it had better have some go juice. Fortunately it does and I catch up to Blazewing, smack his tail feathers and we have contact. I bring him down and send in the terrible turtle. Much aggressiveness ensues and Blazewing checks out in, well a blaze of glory with Terrorpene parked right on top of him.

As you can imagine, I’m pretty psyched as it is from all the condensed action when I see a whisper in my chat box from……Terrorpene? Well , my lil but big love dwarf heart just about gave out.

Terrorpene whispers : “This thing has been smack talking and buzzing me for days”  “Always with the ‘Hey wanna race fatboy?' , from here to the Spire, I’ll even start in Uldum to give you a sporting chance”’   “Lemme tell ya lil man, this thing was one obnoxious piece of work and look at it now”  “Well  .… 'TORTOSIE AND THE HARE MOFO!'   “Guess it never read “The Tortoise and the Hare”  Terrorpene spits at Blazewing. “Say, I dunno about you but I could really go for some fish right about now, I’ll eat pretty much anything but yeah, fish would be good after this. Let’s go grab some and then we can strike the pose”

Unfortunately I  didn’t get an exact copy of the chat but hopefully you’ll live the experience before Blizz nixes it.  However a picture is worth a 1000 words and as you can tell , that’s one happy turtle.  BM is cool.
