It wasn't quite so late in the evening when the kerfuffle happened. I'd been doing my rounds at the farm, trying to get in good with the gnomes of Ak'anon Strike Force V, so that I could get a peek at their stash of armor and choice bits. They've been hanging around Meldrath's goods for a while and I know they have things that are useful. So, I'll play the game, get in good and get what I need. Anyway ... I'm taking out some of the pests in the farm when all of a sudden:
[Fri Jun 19 21:53:49 2009] Grubby_Dirthand shouts, 'I am the mighty Grubby, I challenge all you weaklings to combat with my pet, since you obviously couldn t even beat it. '
[Fri Jun 19 21:55:57 2009] You shout, 'oh yeah?'
[Fri Jun 19 21:56:08 2009] You shout, 'And just where is this ... pet ?'
[Fri Jun 19 21:56:25 2009] Grubby_Dirthand shouts, 'I be near Brislebum'
Admittedly, I was curious at this point. I'd already made a point of locating this individual and his pet, so I ceased my activities at the farm and strolled over to where Grubby was. I might mention that I was strutting around in an Iksar illusion at this point...
[Fri Jun 19 21:58:06 2009] Grubby Dirthand says, 'Ah a Iksar, Great! I was needing new boots.'
[Fri Jun 19 21:58:07 2009] You say, 'Aye, Fluffy is it?'

A few notes about what occurred during the event. Fluffy and I were in combat the ENTIRE time. Fluffy got down to 65% and health locked, but we kept at it. This was one of the most spontaneous and mostly ignored things I've ever been fortunate enough to participate in. This occurred at the tents in Dragonscale where the gnomes give out quests. People came to the tents, got quests and LEFT, all while we were fighting and bantering and carrying on.
