“Wake up, idiot.”
The voice in her head stirred, cutting Zvezra’s sleep short. A colourful haze twisted and merged into shapes whilst a blaring cacophony of screeches and creaks assaulted her ears. There was no sense to it. She woke up like this each time and yet, it frustrated her all the same.
“Wake up! They’re close.”
Her gaze adjusted. Ears twitched, excluding all unnecessary sounds. She sat up, groggy, and the vivid shapes disappeared, replaced by massive trees and a sea of green as they fell into place. Not all predators could allow themselves the luxury of nesting among the highest of Feralas’ crowns. But she was no common predator, and neither had she sought common prey.
An invisible force flipped Zvezra upside down all of a sudden, her body to clinging to the branch on all-fours— it wasn’t her doing. The demon laughed, “Look, look below now and I might not push you off.” Frowning, she complied. The sound of footsteps reached her first as something clumsily stepped on the twigs, the pace indicated hurried stride. A heavy creature, accompanied by another. A rustle of feathers. A distinct creak of old, unimpregnated leather reins; a hawkstrider.
Zvezra smiled. Spectral sight revealed a bright, magical aura— no doubt a sorcerer. Magisters were powerful, she had learned that much during her stay at the Black Temple. Or so did the Sin’dorei proclaim. A shiver of anticipation ran down her spine, tattoos shimmered with a sickly glow as she prepared for a leap. No rumour would save this one.
The hawkstrider stopped when the rustle of leaves above caught its attention, but it was too late. The demon hunter crashed against the animal like a boulder, instantly breaking its abdomen and sending the rider flying backwards from the sheer impact.
“Hahaha! Look, look! We made him soar higher than this bird ever would!”
She turned her head, the hawkstrider’s blood filling the cracks in her skin as it trickled down her face. The blood elf fell a few good yards away and only now started to comprehend what had just happened. Shaky, he pushed himself up enough to sit. A shadow of the approaching hunter caught up to him, and a foot pressed against his chest thwarted an attempt to cast a spell. An awful grin twisted her expression, there was something satisfying in the sight of the mage squirming and helplessly flailing his arms; something she and Wergat enjoyed separately, each in their own way.
“Good, good! And now ki-- oooh!”
Zvezra perked up, it wasn’t normal for the imp interrupted himself. “What?” she said out loud, confusing the wide-eyed mage. His stubbly chin quivered but no sound came to form an answer. “His mouth! Inside! Inside, there’s shiny.” the imp rambled, cackling with glee.
A disgusting hand kept the Magister in place when the other forced his jaw open, and the sun revealed their prize - a set of golden teeth. The horrified look on the blood elf’s face intensified just as much as Zvezra’s smile grew, reigniting his struggle. She could barely feel his kicking and fists hitting her body, and it grew only weaker as she pressed harder to keep the mage in place.
“Get the shiny, fool!”
An unholy scream drove the birds into a scattered craze as the blood elf tore his throat, blood gurgling in his mouth. Zvezra pulled at the base of his lower jaw, forcing it apart— quite successfully so. Gore bursted and poured down the mage’s neck, staining them both. A violent spasm overtook the elf body and once again, it was quiet in the forest.
The hunter rose with her reward. She spun the jaw in her hands with child-like curiosity, mesmerized with the glistening gold lining the teeth. Today, the demon wouldn’t speak again.
A little story revealing what Zvezra was up to in Feralas a while ago, prompted by a unexpected idea. The imp’s secret stash grows ever larger.

By aiding an Earthen Ring shaman in the Trial of the Earth, the Adherents were able to prevent the Horde from garnering the support of a mighty elemental.
Clever spellcasting and diplomacy forced the competing Warsong shaman to take his “victory” at face value and accept his decision to send the spirit back to Deepholm instead of aiding the war effort against the kaldorei.
For now the Adherents will camp in the remnants of Tiragarde Keep.

Today marked the last day of our Durotar adventures, on time for the patch tomorrow. The hunters will no doubt be baffled by what absurdity they are witnessing. Should you be interested in joining, now would be a good time to get in touch.
Either way, they finished the job in a mysterious cave on the Echo Isles. Another elemental summoning went wrong for the Horde when a naga siren and her lackeys attacked them and bound the elemental to her will via the void. After a series of trials, twisted and turned up-side down by the siren’s magic, the Adherents managed to foil the siren’s plan and set the elemental free. Confronted with their various failings and personal demons during the trials, many of them are left in a rather unstable state of mind. Luckily Priestess Ylvessine is ready to meet them in Ashenvale coming Thursday.
While I didn’t create an imgur album for the DM events, I did make three for the spontaneous DM / social events we held inbetween:
Zvezra’s & Aeneon’s Swine Farm Raid

Poetry Night
For the purpose of connecting more with their elven side, Aeneon suggests a night of self-written poetry. It didn’t go so well in some cases.https://imgur.com/a/1wMuZIo

He awoke soaked in his own sweat, eyes open wide to a starless sky. Blind again. An impulse, a thought.
Breathe.
But the sweet air never relieved his panicked lungs.
Breathe.
Muscles remained relaxed but his mind coiled and writhed. He was a statue, frozen and unmoving in thick darkness.
Shh, shh, soon it will be over. Let me help you.
Another wince, another struggle in vain. A familiar cold veiled his mind, paralysing and numbing. So painful. So sweet.
Shh, shh, don’t fight. You know she’ll follow. Let me help you both .
The truth struck him. A whack of despair and misery snuffed out any will and opposition. A tear fell, but he grew colder.
Do you see my mercy? I will help you.
Brief story related to the events that transpired during our campaign finale in Durotar.
The coming week we’ll have a slower line of events more akin to casual RP than DMs which will involve training, ceremonies and scavenging in Felwood. Afterwards, around the 6th, we’ll be off to Nazjatar with the [A/N-RP] Hand of Cenarius, albeit involuntarily from an IC perspective.
Until then we’ll be camped on the outskirts of Astranaar or by the secret shrine within the hills near the Moonwell of Purity. In the unlikely scenario your character likes demon hunters, feel free to pass by when you see us about 
Friendliness not garantueed.

These sound like good friends for Diarmuid to meet. I joined the Moonlight Embrace, but the description of the guild and the way you all RP Demon Hunters is exactly the same kind of way I’ve been RPing Diarmuid

Thanks for the kind words, Diarmuid!
On another note, we’ll begin our Nazjatar campaign with the Hand of Cenarius on the 26th. That means recruitment will be closed from then until about the 4th. If you are interested in joining, it’s best you poke us beforehand or afterwards.

I quite like where I am, but thank you! I was more so commenting because it’s nice to see I’m not the only DH RPer who’s trying to rejoin Kaldorei society and that it will be nice to RP with you guys if I see you around 
Ah! We were not trying to recruit you — we would never press joining on anyone, interested or not. The note about Nazjatar and recruitment really was separate, as it says! It was just nice to hear you appreciated there were other DHs aiming towards better things.

A little update on our first campaign with the Hand of Cenarius! We were a bit lazy with the amount of screenshots, so borrowed some from our druid friends…

An excellent way to start of the ‘mutually’ beneficial relationship. 
But then again I suppose not everyone can operate a S.E.L.F.I.E. camera mid-combat and look ruggedly handsome while doing so.

My DH was a staunch Altruis supporter, but the character has been quite abandoned since Legion. Might have to return to him!

Very interesting RP-ing with this lot, they’re really showing my so-far prejudiced and bigoted druid that things are not what they always seem, and that even fel-corrupted demon hunters can still be true to their kaldorei values.

We’re now officially back in Ashenvale for two week or three weeks of lessons, promotions, training, recruitment and well-earned rest. Thanks a lot to the Hand of Cenarius for two awesome weeks in Nazjatar!
We’ve all been very lazy with screenshots, but here are some imgur albums to roughly sum up our time there:

After two weeks of recovery, the Adherents are once again on the move. The group set out to the outskirts of Auberdine after the conclusion of Ashteroth’s promotion ceremony. With the young druid Faeolas in tow, they were quick to catch the attention of a force of sentinels. Despite the uncomfortable encounter, they were ultimately able to proceed onwards. Off to Dalaran via mage portal, the Adherents are now out to retreive proper weaponry for some of their disciples.
With our new event chain kicking off in a few days, chances are high they’ll need them badly…
