So I'm in the Swamp of Sorrows finishing up the Alliance quests
there. Among them is escorting an NPC, Galen Goodward, out from his
cage in the mob base in the NE corner of the zone. Unfortunately Galen
is quite stupid and will walk straight into enemies, and the nearest
group to the cage happens to be several enemies and their shadow
magic-wielding imps. The imps fire shadow bolts that blow through my
shadow-resistence aura, and Galen's already dead because as a prisoner
he lacks any weapons or armor. This happened three times.
Because of the shadow bolts I couldn't quite solo the group to clear
the path, and so I asked for help. While positioning myself I saw a
Troll, to which I waved as I normally do. A Hunter at my level
answered my call, and the two of us began the escort. Naturally, with
another person there that first mob had already disappeared for
whatever reason (sigh), but as we neared a second group, the Troll
reappeared. By the jerky way he moved it was obvious he also wanted to
help escort the (Human) NPC. He rushed to tackle an enemy, then
another, as we took on more. After finishing the quest, I /bowed and
/thanked the Troll . . . Just as a Stonard patrol guard ambushed
me. Fighting him meant my PvP flag triggered. I killed the guard and
another then /sorryed twice to the Troll for killing NPCs on his side;
he /nodded in understanding. The Hunter /whispered to me that she had
the Troll in her sights should he try something, but I knew I was
safe.
I later returned to the camp for a quest to retrieve the crystals that
grow in the area. I ran into an Orc obviously on the same quest, and
helped him kill a couple of enemies. We saw two enemies guarding two
crystals; we each tackled one, each took a crystal, I wished /goodbye
to the Orc, and he /goodbyed me back.
