Perspicacity's Bad Day

[damselfish]

The most traumatic bug ever struck my tiny hunter yesterday.

Pocket Healer (now Pocket Chicken, I guess) and I have been having a lot of fun leveling our dynamic duo. We're both totally unfamiliar with the new Alliance stuff, as I haven't been Alliance in-- literally-- years, but I've leveled so many Alliance characters that the changes can throw me off because "wasn't that over there!?" Like when we hit up Redridge.

Oh Keeshan, I remember that guy. So we do all the quests, some of which we found very questionable, and finally we get to the end of the zone and it's time to fight a giant dragon! Yay!

GAME: Darkblaze defeated!
Me: Uh... what's going on?
Pocket Healer: What?
Me: Keeshan and the dragon are still fighting.
Pocket Healer: ...No? Darkblaze is dead. He and Keeshan despawned.
Me: It must be bugged, because I definitely still see them on this infinite battle loop of swiping and stabbing. Whatevs. Let's go. That's right, Keeshan, you keep... fighting that dragon or whatever. No innocent civilians, where are your dark gods, etc. Have fun.
Pocket Healer: *mounts up*
Me: Don't do that, I'm still in combat - oh God.
Pocket Healer: What?
Me: Darkblaze is coming for me.






Pocket Healer was helpless before this dragon she couldn't see, and I was pretty helpless because how do you kill something that's already dead?

I ran screaming, and Darkblaze followed Keeshan, who was following me, and finally picked him off. Then he killed my faithful dog, Insurance.

Then he came for me.
