[H-RP] Path of Glory - WAR!

Likewise! Good stuff all around!

Meanwhile… the Path - or rather, the ‘Spear’ - lost two people in the last two days. Mihro and Vol’dai. Hatred burns in our hearts and exciting times are ahead of us as we plot our revenge on Alliance and Loyalist alike!

Mihro was the best of us all.

Vol’dai opened his eyes, the swamp waters of Nazmir surrounded him in every direction. In front of him stood the necropolis. Even the air around him seemed to pull him towards the dark structure. He took a step, his foot didn’t move a single drop of water. He looked down and understood, this was the end of the story for him. He looked at his body, small holes burnt through his spirit, visible cracks that threatened his integrity. He saw Itzl on his shoulder, a bright green glow coming from the toad’s spirit. Vol’dai understood, wordless.

A second step. He looked back and remembered his last months, the enjoyment he had joking with Kolto and Thorn, his bickering with Lyaleth, the poisoning of the elves with Meng, Mawi’s stoicism, Itza’s attitude, Mihro’s optimism- Poor Mihro, now he understood his fear of visions, Jaime’s calm nature, the warlord’s praises, Sathien’s indecisiveness- And how he loved mocking her for it. He would miss them all.

Vol’dai faced the necropolis once more, and took a third step. More spirits appeared into his sight, all of them walking towards the necropolis. Did they feel the same pull he did? He remembered his mother, still in the Echo Isles. He never got to say goodbye to her, and the feeling that he would regret that sooner or later.

The troll stopped, and looked back once more. Itzl had hopped off of him, watching him at a distance.

“Let’s go, old friend. Pa awaits.”

He noticed his voice echoing, as if spoken by the wind and not himself. The toad hopped over next to the young troll’s spirit, a reassuring gesture.

Together, they walked the rest of the way. As he got closer, he saw his father’s spirit once more, waving at him. His features now were visible, down to the wound that had slain him all these years ago- a large hole in his chest. Vol’dai ran as fast as he could, Itzl leaping next to him, until he embraced his father at the steps of the necropolis.

“Was Vol’dai a good hunter?” he asked, his voice trembling.

“No, son. You were da best.” The reassuring voice of his father calmed down the troll, and the three spirits stepped into the Necropolis, with the deal done. The loa of death awaits them, and there was little else to be done.

Today, a great incident has befallen us people of Ironforge. The treacherous Horde have struck our beloved airfield, sowing destruction and chaos in our beloved mountainhome. According to witnesses, the assailants identified themselves as the “Spear of Vanity”, “Spare of Bandage” or “Spear of Vengeance”.

The total damages include three experimental models of airplanes for the expeditionaries league, six gyrocopters and the theft of one of our oldest flying machines, a relic of the second war valued in thousands of gold coins.

From the Ironforge Insider, we wish to send our condolences to the families of those brave mountaineers who gave their lives in service to Ironforge and the Alliance.

MIDSUMMER DISASTER!
The explorers led by Brunn Brazenbeard have been slain by unknown assailants alongside a patrol of mountaineers on the road between Kharanos and Gnomeregan!

The merry group of explorers were on their way to deliver recently-unearthed relics from Uldum for the Midsummer festival, as part of a stunt by the league of explorers to increase interest in the relics contained within the museum.

Captain Ironbrow of the 7th Mountaineers Division had this to say:
“This is only one in a recent chain of attacks. Trogg activity seems to have been increasing in the past few weeks, and everyone has suffered because of it. We are unaware of what has stirred them from their caverns, but one thing is for certain. We can no longer ignore this threat, for this I have petitioned Ironforge to send more mountaineers to patrol the lands of Dun Morogh.”

The local authorities in dun Morogh advise for merchants to ensure they are properly escorted, or wait in Loch Modan until the issue with the troggs is solved.

BETRAYAL!

The TREACHEROUS Horde have struck the lands of Dun Morogh! The mines of Gol’bolar have been saboutaged by a group of Horde militants that take the name of “Spear of Vengeance”.

Some dwarves claim they were led by a Zandalari in shining golden armor as they ventured deep into the mines, slaughtering defenseless miners as they went, and even captain Ironbrow himself. The Horde saboteurs have destroyed the seals on the walls keeping the troggs out, and Gol’bolar is currently overrun by beasts of the underground.

The fact that a Horde group managed to hide in Dun Morogh for a whole week ever since their attack on the airfields of Ironforge has put the current defenses of our mountainhome under heavy criticism. They have been identified by the lone survivor of the Midsummer massacre as the culprits, authorities in Ironforge claim.

The Spear’s current location is unknown, and Dun Morogh has been put under heavy watch by Ironforge’s forces, in order to root out those criminals. If you spot them, make sure to contact local authorities straight away.

The involvement of golden Zandalari warriors is purely hearsay and not based in truth in the slightest. The dwarves have merely seen things in their drunken stupor.

The Spear of Vengeance has rampaged it’s way through Dun Morogh to prove a point of the weakness of the Alliance. Now new lands await, with explosions and explosions and even more explosions. Have I said explosions?

If you wish to EXPLODE (the alliance) with us, contact any current online member as Thar’zog is enjoying a well-deserved vacation. Thõrn has taken OOC leadership of the guild until his return, but any member can be contacted via OOC if they are online. Otherwise, shoot our local swamp monster a message via mailbox.

We are also looking to arrange RP-PvP conflicts, in which case get in touch with me so we can coordinate a time and date that works for both of us!

Thank you! I try to keep them to the perspective of the Alliance rather than our own, to not fully show all we did in the event IC. There is a bit of cover-upping.

Power word: Shut.

There is no such thing as gold.
Gold is not real. It doesn’t exist, it can’t hurt you.

My rogue, Tyme Highchapel, had an encounter with some of these -vicious- warmongers yesterday. Our Watch fought them tooth and nail, and there were plenty cuts, scrapes and bite wounds to go around.

And I absolutely loved it. Props to you guys, and anyone who’s looking for some anti-Alliance bellicose roleplay should check these folks out!

You guys were great fun, and we had a great time. Thanks for being good sports.

We are always on the look out for Alliance guilds to scrap with, so hit us up if you are game. :slight_smile:

The Spear of Vengeance’s rampage through the Eastern Kingdoms is over, for now.

Now we head back home to lick our wounds and gather, before moving onwards!

For the last week, we’ve ran a few smaller storylines at once in preparation for future moves. Our professional 5D chess player Matches has been plotting and scheming with the folks at The Redrock Runners as part of future events and schemes.

Our rogues got themselves lost and captured alongside a couple of zandalari and met the mysterious Scowl in prison, staging a breakout after a week of imprisonment and most surprising, having Thorn be free of his parasites and filth. If you ask me, give it time and they’ll be back.

Last and most important, my magnificent self introduced Sathien and Ridho yesterday to the magnificent opulence of Suramar on a trip to purchase two flasks of arcwine as preparation for the greatest party ever thrown. We even picked up a new member after our return!

But after a month of silence, the Warlord calls once more. There is no time to dwell on past actions, as the Spear moves onwards to face our rival once more, brought together after weeks of acting separately.

WAR COMES TO KALIMDOR!

The “Spear of Vengeance” has abandoned their name, now referring to themselves as proud warriors of the Horde. No longer will they be an easy scapegoat as they prepare to plunge Kalimdor into yet another war against the night elves.

From Shadowprey Village the warband readies themselves for the upcoming Kalimdor in Flames campaign led by the Warlord Giantrender himself. They have acquired a stash of azerite in the past few weeks which they intend to use against the Alliance in ways that will make the Horde feared once more!

Now is the time to answer the call to arms and join the proud sons and daughters of the Horde. Together we will annihilate the Alliance and open the way for the Horde to thrive on Azeroth once and for all.

Lok’tar ogar!
