Malifore

There are no warm baths in Russia.

Well... I guess if I'm going to share a story it'll be the story of my first kill. Way back in the halcyon days of 2006 I was struggling my way through World of Warcraft as only a solo leveling warrior could. I found myself in Ashenvale and was absolutely awestruck by the color and music. The ambiance of it had me wandering around, not even questing. Then I found it; a tunnel carved into a mountain. I forget what it was called but I believe it was "Talondeep Pass". As I moved through it I felt excited; there wasn't much in the way of a road so I felt like it was some kind of secret. I popped into the arid mountains on the other side, the Venture Co deforestation littering the valley. I started making my way down the slopes to the valley below. As I was fighting off a mob I got back stabbed by an Orc Rogue. He was a couple levels lower then I was - and I had a health potion on my hot bar. When the fight wasn't going his way he tried to run but I hamstrung him and laid down the execute. I turned around and went back to Ashenvale after that. I was sure he was going to call friends and take his vengeance if I didn't book it.
