I took Nia and her pet bear Santaclaws hunting level 30 ogres in Darkshire. We were doing well and had entered their cave. Nia is a hunter a mostly uses ranged (bow) attacks, so she often times will back away from something I am fighting to shoot it. This is mostly fine outdoors, but in the confines of the ogre cave, backing up into a level 30 ogre when you are level 24 is not a pretty picture 
I mean sure I could just aggro it and take on two ogres, but many times respawns have me doing that allready and three same level mobs on a warrior is not the best of situations. Long story short Nia took my advice the wrong way and left me there to fend for myself 
Later that night I continued my search for lightforge iron near Menethal Harbor. I discovered a sunken ship filled with Blue Murloc Raiders. After decimating the murlocs I retreived 5 ingots of lightforge iron and returned to Stormwind to have the weapon crafted I would use against the necromancer. The weaponsmith created an off-hand staff of some sort that removes the necromancer’s protective aura, helpfull indeed!
Sven in Darkshire congratulated me and I took a break at his camp. Sven kept camp at the far northwest corner of Darkshire, surrounded by wolfs and spiders! Not the most inviting place but safe nonetheless. Mechanical squirrel took advantage of Sven’s hospitality by warming his nuts by the fire Still in shock Nia had left me to my own fate with the ogres, I ended my night in Sven’s camp with the outline of the necromancer’s domain looming over us in the distance.
Oh yeah I almost forgot to say I hit level 32! Hooray!

Sounds like quite the night at the campfire. Did you roast any rats? I love roasting rats over an open fire.

No rats, can’t stand the critters! Only lean wolf flanks and hot salty nuts! Mechanical squirrel loves my hot salty nuts!
