The idea came from a plot bunny posted by Bobmin and Alyx so thank you to them too.
The fight had been going on for almost two minutes now.
Obviously it had been a bad idea but he couldn't have helped himself for a flying mount and 5 free levels.
He threw another missile at him before using his mana Gem.
The giant T-Rex roared as the spells hit and retaliated by stomping him to the ground.
Using his legs and arms he flipped himself back up and quickly cast another missile before sending a flamestrike to the T-Rex's midsection almost 20ft in the air.
With a final roar the beast fell sideways and expired.
-'Mwahahaahah, I be awesome.'
He couldn't help but shout out loud as he took the loot and skinned the animal.
Summoning his tiger he ran back to the lip of the crater and started going back into Tanaris.
He had forgotten to get the flight path and now he was making a run back all the way across the desert and giant insects just to get the flight path.
He was till amazed at the sight in front of him almost every new zone he encountered. He had become eager to visit new places and gain levels, everything he had heard about Outland was nightmarish as well as beautiful and he couldn't wait to get there and get a flying mount.
He had been riding for a good five minutes when Gadgetzan came into view.
From this angle he could see how he had missed the alliance flight point, it was at exactly the right angle to miss it if you came in straight from thousand needles and carried on to Tanaris.
He quickly talked to the girl here before turning around and riding back to Tanaris.
Going to Gadgetzan it made sense to fly but as a mage he was faster just riding back, especially when he had the business with the pillars and the first one was right on the edge of the crater.
He let the various hostiles try to attack him as he rode the white tiger. He only had to stop once as a scorpion stunned him briefly. Turning around he quickly used his nova to freeze the animal in place and stepping back using the missiles and flamestrikes to finish it off.
Back on his tiger he arrived at the edge between the two zones and without a second thought he jumped off the edge of the crater.
The fog was thick enough that he couldn't see the ground as he plunged faster towards the hard ground.
He was maybe still a hundred yards in the air when he cast his Slow Fall spell.
His tiger disappeared and he slowed down to a gentle drop as he moved in the same direction towards the ground far below.
He hit the ground running and after only a brief pause he summoned his valiant steed and started toward the pillar at the edge of the crater.
At level 49 he was still low enough that he needed to skirt most of the monsters in this place.
Finding the tiny winding path he only stopped to mine the Thorium that seemed to be plentiful here.
This pillar was really the last one on his quest and after thinking at it briefly he cast the slow fall spell on himself again, summoned his mount and jumped off the cliff towards the quest giver to the north.
The ride was once again interrupted but this time it was a raptor who dismounted him.
The fight took much longer as the level difference began to tell.
He was about to try running away when his Missile critical-striked twice and the animal fell over with a cry.
He ran and blinked a few times as Raptor milled around and when he was safely out of aggro range he summoned his tiger and galloped all the way to the top of that tiny outpost and deep into the cave where for that gnome was hiding.
As he thought at him that the quest was completed he felt the surge that meant he had completed another level.
Level 50! Sweet. Another step closer. He accepted the return quest and stepped back just a little.
He pulled out his spellbook and started casting the teleportation spell to Ironforge.
After just a few seconds he found himself in the Dwarven city. Funnily enough, he mused as he spoke to the mage trainer, this was the dwarf city but it had the highest ceilings of all the cities he had been to.
As he finished learning the spell he started running to the AH, almost on the other side of the city.
He had only been here about two weeks but he had made almost 1000 gold all counted with the auctions and various sells he had made.
Remembering the price of the flight training he kept it safely stored because he really really wanted to be able to do that as soon as he got to the Outlands.
It was a matter of minutes to sort all of his items, throw away the old water he had been using and summon the new sparkling water.
He quickly auctioned all the greens and material he had and started using his hearthstone.
Let's see how those raptors liked his new spells.
