Sometimes it’s difficult to find a group to down a powerful creature. One such creature was Banthar, the giant white clefthoof that roams Nagrand. Hemet Nesingwary had always said that Banthar “is the fiercest and most elusive of all the clefthoof in Outland”. Without any friend, the giant clefthoof would not be, if possible, an easy task. Upon circling Oshu’gun, Aidem found his target. After surveying the land, he waiting for Banthar to wander into a safe spot. Dismounting and calling forward Stra, Aidem prepared himself for a difficult fight. Knowing he didn’t have the proper gear to engage easily, all preparation was required.

Aidem and Stra were ready and Banthar was coming closer to their location. Aidem placed a Misdirect on Stra and sent her out to face the beast. The fight has begun and the fight looked even. Banthar’s health was dropping, but so was Stra’s. Aidem quickly threw a Mend Pet up and everything was set. Suddenly, Banthar called forth a sudden stomp and stunned the crab. The clefthoof was now on a direct course to Aidem. Looking at what options he had, Aidem called the Beast Within. Stra broke free from his stun and once again took back Bathar’s attention. Aidem knew that another stun would come soon so he had to kill Banthar quickly. He feigned death to wipe his threat and threw up every possible buff he had. Stra was still receiving a beating and was nearly saved by a Mend Pet. The fight looked to sway towards the young hunter, when another problem surfaced. Aidem was out of mana. Looking through his bags, he could not find a single Mana Potion. It was up to Stra to finish the fight. Stra… Banthar… both at each other with their health dropping. All Aidem could do is watch and shoot. Finally the giant beast took all he could and fell on top of Stra. Stra’s health was so low, Aidem couldn’t tell if she was alive. A moment passed as Aidem waited for Stra to come forth from the corpse. Was Aidem’s long time best friend dead? Slowly, Banthar’s dead giant hoof began to raise…
