I expect things would go bad. It would go something like this:

1) Wolf sees yummy food
2) Wolf chases barer of yummy food
3) Bad things happen
4) Wolf eats yummy food.

Regardless of the wolf's foray into PAXdom, I wish all attendees well :)

[Matsu_Ieyasu]

So this young winter wolf runs off to PAX prime to hang out with all the cute people at the Turbine booth. When he gets there he finds himself surrounded by dozens if not hundreds of other young winter wolves. The boys of course are all arguing to determine which one is the Alpha Male, when this sexily stunning young winter wolf of the other sex catches our heroes eye.

A few laps of warm milk and a run around the exhibit hall and our young winters wolf knows they have found someone special. One thing leads to another and then to wedding bells and then to several litters of pups. Do I have to explain it in any more detail?

[Captain_Wizbang]

[Zess-wolf]

The winter wolf went to pax, and there he went to get his bag of swag, and when he opened he got...a purple rupee? Wait, wrong game he says =/ and them he wakes up and notices it was just a dream... sad puppy :(

[-Zephyr-]

A Wolf Pup going to PAX won't leave alone obviously. He'll be captured by the first adventurer seeing him and will have to follow him around for the rest of its life... Or at least until its master chooses another companion !

A cute little winter wolf pup went to pax. There it received treats galore. It kept being led about to get it out, but it had found a good thing with much food folks would bring and many people to adore it.

[Memnir]

There once was a Winter Wolf pup named Mem. He wanted to go to PAX Prime so very very much. He had gone every preceding year, save the one when a family member was recovering from cancer. He spent every night dreaming of the buzzing excitement of the queue line on the first morning - of all the cool panels he'd get to sit in on - and of all the amazing new games that would be on display in the expo hall. And the swag! The mountains and mountains of swag to be had!

Sadly, PAX tickets sold out at a record pace and Mem was not able to go to PAX this year. :(


So now he dreams of next year... or maybe crossing the Wide Country and attending PAX East.

He won't miss another.

[Chefd261]

Their once was a winter wolf from Nantucket who's tail was so long he could (Oh hold on can't use that one on here)

One winter wolf enters the PAX.

Gamers in the PAX.

No Winter Wolf leaves the PAX.

[Krelar]

The pup is denied entry at the door since it's open to service animals only. The poor thing wanders the streets and becomes feral. Eventually it is caught by animal control and put down. :(

[Silverleafeon]

Once upon a time in a far away land, the was a winter wolf named Paxon. Traveling long and far to the unknown continent of the lost indies, Paxon tried to find someone to listen to his claims wanting access to his south pacific island. None would listen say Mary, a cute spotted wolf cub who worked in the president of PAX's office.

However, Saxon a winter wolf attendant who worked in the snack bar, secretly also admired Mary. So did Faxon a naval officer of PAX.

Eventually, it turned out that the south pacific island was were PAX's secret main naval base was located at. Paxon negotiated for a date with Mary in exchange for sharing his fishing dreams.

Faxon got comission on a ship of his choice, and Saxon was promoted to the hot dog stand (much to the chagrin of attendies).

And they lived happily ever after...

[Primalhowl]

That's easy... just remember the law of ThunderPAX:

Two winter wolf pups enter! One winter wolf pup leaves!

[MelkiorPeasantbane]

There was a winter wolf pup who wanted to go to the penny arcade expo because he heard about how awesome it was. He tried to get tickets, but his computer skills were lacking and his companion human couldn't be controlled to order tickets for him. He was very sad.

So he devised a clever plan to travel south from his home in Canada (where else would a winter wolf pup live?) to Seattle. But that's a story for another day. When he gets to PAX, he get's to see exhibitors of all his favorite gaming companies, because he's an avid gamer, able to roll dice with his nose and communicate numbers by tapping his claws on hard surfaces.

After a fun filled weekend he returns home. The end.

[adamotr1]

I would love to have a PAX Pup.

Thanks for the SWAG.

[livil]

I agree with Dawnsfire that if a winter wolf pup went to PAX that it would be bad but I think that it would more than likely be bad for the pup not the people. If the pup was able to sneak past the guards in front as soon as he tried to get his swag of all the good food people would scream, throw chairs and stuff beholder heads at him... you know anything that may be lying around. Then the cops, fire department, paramedics, zoo keepers, Cordovan, etc. would show up to try and tranquilizes his behind so that they could place him somewhere where he could not hurt anyone or in Cordovan case catch him to take him to his office to do tricks and cool all of his drinks with his little puppy ice breath for the rest of his long life. :) But since most of them will probably have such bad aim will mostly likely just end up knocking out most of the slower moving guest before said winter wolf pup is able to make his escape where he will forever tell of his near death experience.

[adam1oftheround]

Count me in.

Howling at the Moon never seemed so good.

[Lilbadass]

A winter wolf would be praised in these heat waves , he walks in and it instantly gets cooler , all the girls with small clothes gathers around him to feel his cooling aura. He then walks threw the crowd slowly cooling people off. Soon after someone complains about this cold the wolf is putting off. The wolf is offended and goes off in a rage and attempts to take over the convention

Wolf wins.


(No idea what Nanook was doing at PAX.)

[Edwinge]

Our poor little puppy heads to PAX all by his lonesome. He's never seen a big city before. All the large buildings and autos frighten him. He's brave, though, and dares the rush of traffic trying to get to the con. Well, he did for a little while at least. No, he wasn't hit or even hurt but that silly animal control officer took him away. His wintry breath was no match for a tranquilizing dart.

[Ebondevil]

Place was so full of people that the poor little puppy melted from all the heat.

[SirShen]

Winter Wolf Pup heads to PAX. More to follow Soon.

[ddobard1]

Winter Wolf comes to Pax alone...... the pup is dismal because it misses his mother and brothers...... suddendly a Turbine's girl takes it in her arms and teaches him to play DDO!
Thereupon Wolf's sadness flicks away and its beautiful blue eyes shine with joy!..... but wait! The Wolf cries out to be a druid!? The Silver Flame knows why!

[shadowninja95]

I wqish i could make it to pax even though i only live 2 hours away i can't afford to get there and get in with college and my turbine point habit :D

[Smitey]

Howler the wolf pup was very hungry and heard the best game could be found in PAX prime.

Little did he realise it wouldn't have any prey but rather it was just full of gamING nerds...

Sad and pitiful at his woeful pun - I mean mistake, the wolf pup roamed the halls looking for sustenance but instead found a lost druid who, with the aid of tasty ham adopted him as his companion.

Speccing howler out with wolf instincts; striding and hounding yip he found his new pet the perfect bluffer of swag from all the booths and took good care of him in return.

The only bone of contention was the lesser acid resistance armor the newbie druid kept trying to force on him.

Howler stuck at it for the sake of their new found bond and just hoped, that maybe one day, mayhap an armor kit might come his way using the TP code that had just released so he wouldn't have to look like this anymore:

alas twas those lucky few
with fortune smiles and bags full

[katz]

cute lil wolfie had to sneak into PAX... cuz dogs aren't allowed. once he was in, tho, everyone gave him loads of swag... because he was too cute. :cool:

[Darsith]

One day the winter wolf pup decided to go to PAX prime. When it arrived it was told that no animals were allowed in, unless they were service animals. I happened by and saw the sad winter wolf and decided to be his friend and give him a new home.

[legendlore]

Winter wolf goes to Pax happy as can be
get the munchies, now lets see

out of luck, no dice
buys a meal, it freezes solid
Winter wolf starves, oh how horrid

[Lerl]

Winter wolf pup goes to PAX. After escaping from animal control, he finds the DDO booth at the end of PAX. Poor puppy, no more swag!!!

[Rinnaldo]

A cute pup, of winter wolf stock
Skipped PAX, to go freeze the dock.
Once the harbor was frozen,
Players put winter clothes on,
And jumped for Purple Coins 'round the clock.

[Wildseed]

Her name was Kitty, she was a winter wolf pup companion to Wildseed, they entered Pax Prime together, Wildseed wandered over to Turbine's booth but Kitty went the other way. Wildseed gasped as she got her Pax Prime swag and turned to show it to Kitty only to find out the wolf pup was gone! She ran around looking for her beloved companion but couldn't find her... In the meantime Kitty had found this other winter wolf pup and was eyeing him very closely and started following him and his companion finally she heard Wildseed calling her and gave a mournful look at the male, and left to go find Wildseed. They left Pax Prime and while walking home she found him again and was able to make new friends... come to find out, his name was Cat! so it was a match made in heaven! Enjoy Pax Prime!

[WargamerIV]

The Winter Wolf goes to PAX and ends up winning a neat looking T-shirt.

[Xezrak]

The little baby winter wolf named Bala woke up knowing that something had to be done. She didn't know what but somehow knew today was an important day.

It tugged at Xezrak's ear who was so hard asleep that a little liquid had started to form around his mouth. Bala kept pulling his ear and he got up to a start while wiping his mouth. What What?

Bala just bounced around and barked, she knew something was important.

Oh sour cookies cried Xezrak as he wrapped his smelly coat around his body, grabbing the old keys on his side table with one hand and Bala in his other, he stormed outside.

Bala's ears barely survived the doors being slammed at what seemed like 60 mph. However Bala soon came to realise that 60 mph was nothing compared to how fast Xezrak would be speeding down the highway soon enough.

As they drove for what seemed like hours Bala could start to see a glimpse of what could only be...... PAX... she knew something important was on today..

[Eistander]

Winter Wolf walks into PAX, and summarily happens to have bladder control issues, conveniently at the other booths.. who's to say that someone didn't give it a bunch of liquids prior?

[dalikmere]

A winter wolf pup went to pax and stole all the codes.

[knifefighter]

[moshptato]

A hell-hound pup, a blink dog pup, and a winter wolf pup walked into the convention center for PAX 2012. The hell-hound pup turned to the other two and said “I bet I can get more SWAG than you two!”
Then he bounded off towards the Turbine booth. A few minutes later he returned with his head held low.
“What happened?” asked the blink dog pup.
“I jumped up on the table and did my best evil growl and said ‘gimmie all yer SWAG!’ Then I tried to use my breath weapon to scare them and I ended up setting the booth on fire and they chased me away.”
“Hah!” said the blink dog pup, “now it’s my turn!”
“What are you going to do?” asked the winter wolf pup.
“Well,” the blink dog pup responded with a sly grin “I can use dimension door at will. I’ll just pop over there and steal all the SWAG. Then I’ll pop out before they even know what’s going on.”
And with that, the blink dog pup disappeared. A few minutes later he reappeared with a single piece of SWAG in his mouth.
“What happened?” asked the winter wolf pup.
The blink dog pup dropped his piece of SWAG and said “I got all the way over there and then I remembered that I’m lawful good and stealing is wrong. So I asked politely for one piece of SWAG because I didn’t want to be greedy.”
“Well,” said the winter wolf pup “I guess that just leaves me.”
She shook the frost from her coat, raised her head up high, and marched over to the Turbine booth. The Turbine employees took one look at her, frantically looked at their watches, and quickly scrambled for the doors. Confused, the winter wolf pup grabbed a huge box of SWAG and dragged it over to the other two pups.
“How!” they exclaimed.
“Well,” said the winter wolf pup “I saw a memo under the table as I was getting the SWAG. Apparently someone named ‘Fernando’ promised that they would have two content releases and several bug patches done before the end of the year.”
“So?” said the blink dog pup.
The winter wolf pup glanced back at the empty booth and said “I guess seeing me reminded them that...”

Winter is coming!

[NexEverto]

One day, a Winter Wolf Pup went to PAX to visit her favourite boot, the Turbine Booth! When she got there though, some Spiders, Bats, and Panthers had swarmed around the Booth and were all fighting for the last Swag! Deciding it wouldn't be fair to randomly pick a companion for the code with, Tolero decided to have a Dance off. All the companions danced well, the Spiders were the crowd favourite with their back flips, but when it was the Pups go, everything changed.

At first the Pup started off slowly, but when the music got going, Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suRsxpoAc5w), the Pup blew them all away, becoming the new crowd favourite. After all the companions had finished, the winner was announced. "The Winner is..." In typical game show host fashion, Tolero built the suspension, until, finally, she said the words the Pup wanted to hear, "The Winter Wolf Pup!" Happily the Pup ran up to get the Swag, stopping for a moment to get a photo at the booth. Handing the Swag to the Pup, Tolero laughed, "You've got the Moves for Swagger!" The crowd laughed and the agreed, all were happy that the Pup had won.

[Syllph]

Fenir, the winter wolf, looked around at PAX and thought to himself, "The other winter wolves who came here never returned. What shall become of me?" His lupine eyes glistened from the moonlight as he sat by booth #1132 of this world.

[Nullaer]

An adorable winter wolf went to pax. He wandered around not knowing what to do. He found a scarf someone had dropped and put it on. The adorable winter wolf is now an adorable winter wolf with a scarf.

[~skelatorpirate]

PAX!!!! How did I get here? I must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

[Dexol]

Frosty, the winter wolf pup, was in the Pax exhibit hall. It was bustling with people and Frosty, being only a tiny little pup, was scared of all the people running around, their feet trampling everywhere.
He ducked under one of the of the exhibit table for safety.
When he poked his head out from under the table he got a fright, before him was a giant spider woman.
Frosty ran and jumped onto the lap of a nearby human for safety and protection.
The human saw that Frosty was scared and pet'd and cuddled him until he was feeling safe.
As it happened, this human was one of the DDO art developers who took frosty home and the 2 were inseparable from then onwards.
When the time came to add cosmetic pets to the game, the Dev naturally added his beloved Frosty as one of the rarest in the game.

[Krell]

Had a good time chatting with Tolero and Fernando in the booth, trying out the spinner challenge (254 points!), and I got some nice swag and drinks/food at the player party. Thanks for the fun!

[thx.janus]

Lots of little Winter Wolf Pups go to PAX every time in search of their bretheren from last year, but they never return.

Evil Drow from Forgotten Realms set up a trap for them, catch them and sell them for outrages prizes.
Many have attempted to end this evil doing, but none has been successful to this date.

The only hope for our poor little pubs are two brothers, called warner. They have a heart for the pubs, and even though they can't hunt down the drow, they at least can buy them, to give the certificate of ownership to friendly people like us. The two brothers hope that we will take good care of the pubs, and maybe, just maybe, one of us will uncover the evil drow plot one day

[Liutwin]

two winter wolves from winter korthos head out to PAX. they meet, fall in love, have a litter of winter wolf pups. they realize that the PAX attendees would take far better care of the little wee pups than they could back in chilly korthos.

[stoniar]

a winter wolf decided that it had tired of his evil ways, having run out of ice breakers chewing gum anyway.

cautiously approaching the pax convention, it made peace with his long time nemesis stoniar, and has never left his side since.

except for a few days in december during the risia ice festival, when the festivult jester calls him back to a few quests to wear antlers.

I believe the high score wound up being 350ish or so. My personal best was just under 300 as well. Probably should have cast more ice storms.
