    The Great Escape

    After an hour or two defending Tarren Mill and attacking Southshire, the brave group of Hexus Horde members retreat from the battle, scarred and war torn. As they stood around waiting for Pug's portal to open to Orgrimmar, Hexus Scouts alerted the group of yet another incoming raid. The phrase "Take your time, Pug..." quickly sprang to my mind!



    Luckily, we all got through just as they started to attack us, but we had to leave behind a fallen comrade.

    With over a hundred kills each, for most of us, I would say it was pretty successful.

    Heh, I managed to pop a portal open immediately after ressing myself in the middle of ogrimmar for my raid... with ~30 horde around too. Got attacked a bit during the cast, but only a curse of agony so it didn't slow me down. Was very nerve wracking standing there trying to cast a 10s spell.

    Well, actually, we weren't running away. We all decided to hop on Pug's portal for a quick route back to Orgrimmar to save time as we had all been PvPing for about an hour, they just happened to over-run TM as we left!

    Besided, wouldn't you run if you saw that lot heading for you? I think all the other Horde were either dead or scarpered, I didn't see many others around. So there was about 50 vs. 5 plus a few guards!

    Considering how many Alliance there were, it was a miracle we got out alive. The horde numbers had been dwindling for some time, so the ratios weren't in our favour.

    But by god it was fun This is what WOW is all about, questing for a couple of hours, then PvPing for a couple of hours. Probably the best night i've had on WOW.

    You all certainly sounded like you were having fun! At one stage I think someone said "I would hate to be questing in this" as I was running around finishing of quests and picking up new ones It was quite odd trying to 'talk' to NPC's while about 30-40 people smacked lumps out of each other around me!

    I think I commented something about the inability to quest in a situation like that. It would be even worse on a PvP server!

    Tarren Mill , is the "oficial" battleground
    for now , im having a lot of fun doing some PVP in there ( 135 kills yesterday ) , but the horde is always outnumbred... so the overtacking of TM by the alliance is always a matter of time .

    And i had the pleasure of "working" together with our comrades of Hexus

    But for now , im going to avoid doing PVP , i have to many quests to do , so no more PVP until the weekend .... yeah right ...hehehe
    WoW

    Ravenblood - lvl 56 Troll Hunter - Mining/Eng

    Dumac - lvl 18 Druid - Herb/Alc
