I have no willpower

Went back to Hellfire Peninsula without upping my skills or hitting 59 via Alterac Valley. *shame* I am halfway to a Frostwolf tabard, though, and I do hope to actually get there before I hit 61. (I know there are more useful things to blow AV marks on — a black war kodo, for example — but I am kind of obsessed with getting that tabard.) And my honor is coming along nicely. I'll worry about my skills later.

I finished my very first Outland quest ever and got a shiny new helm. And I had slapped Hunter's Mark on one of the Bloodchewer Mutants, my first Outland kill ever (the boar things don't feel like they should count to me, even if they are harder), when I heard this horrible sound like a train whistle and grinding gears and stomping. And I turned around and got smacked in the face by the Fel Reaver faster than you can spit, and then I'm sitting in the graveyard going, "Whoa, wtf was that!?"

I think I'd spent a total of 3.5 minutes on Hellfire Peninsula at that point. Did I set a record?

Managed to avoid getting curb-stomped after that, though, and Saffron even gained a level (she'd been stabled through Winterspring — she looked so cold! — and was four levels behind).

3.5 minutes is pretty quick. I have NO idea how that mechanical monstrosity with literally earth-shaking steps can manage to sneak up on you... yet it does. Often. Repeatedly. With luck I have managed to avoid death by stomping, though once I ran off the edge of a cliff in attempting escape.

You can get some measure of revenge by carefully kiting a reaver into the group of elite mages just outside Thrallmar. The local reaver patrols quite close to there and it is fairly easy to drag it into range. Much destruction results!

Bwahahaha! Revenge will be mine!

Yeah, the thing was too close for me to escape it without running into about 10 Bloodchewers, so I opted for a more noble death: getting stomped in the face.
