I was up on the parapets of The Endless Citadel collecting something or other from the long suffering non elites up there, when Boofhead somehow contrived to fall from the parapets to the courtyard below. Not realising Boofheads immediate predicament I proceeded to target the next mob and start mashing my combat macro. Boofhead dutifully complied with the command to attack said mob and proceeded to charge towards it via the shortest route available. Considering Boofhead was in the courtyard below, this route naturally involved running to the nearest tower, climbing up to the parapets, and charging back to the mob I was meleeing.
As you can imagine Boofhead managed to pass and aggro quite a few mobs along the way, and was taking quite a beating in an effort to perform his duties; I learned long ago to leave Boofhead on passive, when he is set to defensive he will take offense at the slightest provocation from a ranged mob shooting arrows at him and decide to charge, dragging the mobs we are meleeing with him - I run with Mien of Honour up, so boofhead usually out threats me, but at least he gets my Reparation and Righteous Mandate heals. However, I digress!
So we find Boofhead, set to passive and doing his best to ignore the mobs wailing on him, running full tilt back to me by the most circuitous path imaginable, gathering up an ever growing pack of mobs along the way. To Boofhead's immense credit, he survived long enough to fulfill his duties, taking one swipe at the targeted mob before promptly dying at my feet. There wasn't much time to mourn his passing, as he had left me a goodbye gift, namely a large pack of mobs who had suddenly just lost the focus of all their angst and didn't seem at all happy about it.
There are several ways that story can end, forunately for me I managed to stay up and avert Boofhead's latest assassination attempt against me. I suspect he may have learned from his mistake, and next time contrive to fall on the other side of the parapet and drag back an elite mob to do his dirty work for him.
TL;DR The Druid Satyr is on a secret mission to kill you and your friends
