I'm not sure how this happened, but I'm going to tell everyone the story of the time I soloed Hogger.
I was running my 13 Pally around the forest's edge. It was dark, and I had mistaken some gnoll campfires for the lights of Goldshire. Now, your average gnoll is nothing serious for a 13, so I was enjoying some light hearted killing.
That's when I heard his cackle. Suddenly, all noise ceased. It was like the forest and all of its denizens had taken a breath and held it. Such was the silence, I could hear my armor loosing durability.
Suddenly, a tree next to me exploded, and there stood Hogger. I had heard all the stories, but I thought there was no way he could be this far North. How wrong I was.
I tried to run, I tried to use my Blessings, but my hands were sweating and I was numb with fear. There was a keyboard under my fingers, that much I remember, but at the time, my brain was too tied up in wetting itself to work my fingers.
Then.. somehow.. I locked on to him and attacked. One swing. 1 point of damage... and he fell over dead. I got so much experience from that kill that I was suddenly a level 68 pally. I bent down to loot him, and was instantly out of room in my inventory. Dozens of blue items, epics, entire sets...
Thats when I saw the other bodies. Hundreds of them. There was so much awesome gear that it could have only been one of the legendary Hogger raids. I couldn't move without falling over the slowly cooling body of a level 70 warrior or wizard.
Truly, it must have been an epic battle, and I had the dumb luck to land the final blow.
