🍸 [DISBANDED] The Family and Companies: Closed for Business! - Criminal Guild

I’d like to give a major thanks to Bicko of the Bilgewater Biweekly for writing about us in her newspaper! The latest issue features an interview with the illustrious owner of the Kindred Spirits bar. Read all about it here!

It seems that one or two grunts are permanently stationed outside of the Bar, for whatever reason, alternating where they are and how many at all times. Seems they’ll be here for the foreseeable future (or, at least, until recalled back to the Barracks…)

Not one, but five posters go up for these troublesome… well, five. Including one for a spider. They seem situated in only Orgrimmar, at the gates to Azshara, and on noticeboards around the Valley of Honor. Seems they’ll probably spread before long.

Want to chase them down? Usernames from top to bottom are Jackochoco, Ireshka (including her spider), Orileacz and Aseen. If trying to find out more about the events that went down, or for any other information, message an Officer (Ireshka, or ChĂ­el). Ireshka does not accept Conflict RP from the Sixty Thieves.

We’ll be opening up a new shop in Orgrimmar soon! I’ve already updated this thread with the partial details, but check back every now and again for updates with it, where we’ll be. It’s going to be a General Goods store, and of course, a similar theme to the Bar. We’re still finalising the details, but we’ll be opening it very soon!

We’re now officially affiliated with the Serpent Sisterhood! To commemorate the occasion, we’ve added a section on here for all future Guild affiliates. Take a look-see at it (especially if your Guild would be interested in an affiliation with us), and remember that the affiliation is not public knowledge in character. At least, not yet. :wink:

A sign has been spun on the door. It reads…

Temporarily closed due to staffing issues!

The sign seems to have already been removed. The ‘staffing issues’ must have been fixed very quickly…

The grunts stationed outside the bar also seem to have been sent back to the Orgrimmar barracks.

A bounty poster has come up for a familiar face, to some. It reads the following:

WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE! DEK HARDSPARK. UP TO A HUNDRED GOLD ON DELIVERY.
Goblin has been seen in Orgrimmar hiring citizens and civilians to commit a murder. His employees have been seen beating up the locals and committing kidnappings. Such a goblin is a danger and hindrance and should be stopped at all costs. APPROACH WITH CAUTION. Dek is likely insane and should be treated as such.

If claiming bounty, please take a poster to the Orgrimmar City Bank to be verified, and extend a letter across for a Kadthel Daenaria. Responses will be given in due course. Reward first come first serve only!

DESCRIPTION:
Small male goblin. Covered in jewellery from head to toe. Tattoo’d knuckles of the words ‘PAY DAY’. Seems anxious and on edge, perhaps for good reason. Embellishes his sentences. Has been seen with three orcs around him, one called ‘Rocnar’.

((OOC: You must be killable if you are wishing to kill Dek, as he is entirely killable! Please message Dek or one of our Officers for enquiries on this poster.))

It would appear that all of the posters have been removed for Dek Hardspark. Enquiries into it would detail briefly that the bounty was claimed and turned in, but not by who or what happened. Kadthel Daenaria herself appears to not even exist - was she ever a real person in the first place?

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that was involved in this weeks bout of Conflict RP! Last night saw an end to not one, but two characters, and I can only give my thanks to the following groups/people for their involvement…

Dek Hardspark, Rocnar, Jekle, Rhajani, and everyone else from The Hardspark Cartel for providing amazing antagonists and being a good sport throughout. Thank you all for taking blows and giving amazing RP and excellent characters/development!

Trautfizzle and the Bilgewater Batallion for taking time out of their schedule to drop down on a rather short notice period. I love how you all just winged this with no problems whatsoever; thank you all for being so patient throughout no matter what happened and for taking and conducting the RP well! I can only apologise for the lack of organisation (I didn’t expect such a quick response time)!

Rakihu, Mith’cha, Alryette, Vameia, Malyan and others in The Serpent Sisterhood for offering their assistance within the whole debacle. We’re only sorry you guys didn’t manage to get to him first. I’d like to say that hopefully we’ll be able to give much more opportunities on targets in the future, but if that’s the case - I hope they’re not our own!

Mardock and his mysterious benefactors for dropping by at, again, last minute notice. It was already getting really late at that point and I’m glad you at least managed to see the end and the aftermath from it all. A pleasure doing business with you, and may our future dealings be far more profitable in the future to come!

Of course, a thank you to The Family, especially Ireshka and Raeliyha. I don’t need to thank my own guild, but I will do anyway, as these two especially showed up 24/7 as much as they possibly could and were willing to dedicate so much of their time to both the IC and OOC. Ireshka has now been made an IC Ancestor as well - a promotion well deserved!

Lastly…

A massive thank you to Thorne and Caelrynn for acting as bystanders throughout it all and giving input where they possibly could. I sincerely hope you at least enjoyed what you saw of the debacle, at one point I do remember having Chiel and others hunting avidly to try to find the both of you but alas, IC did not work out to plan! Maybe future revenge is in store…? Not to give any ideas, of course…

My apologies if I missed anyone out. It’s been incredibly hectic and I can only thank everyone else within the community who may have caught wind of it or offered minor assistance for injuries/healing (thank you Chrigael Sufferthorn for assisting in that one especially!) I just hope that the next time this happens (please, oh please, let this be the last and final coup) we have just as much enthusiasm for it as before.

First time I’ve actually had to write a post as a bump.

I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas, and that 2020 to come is better than the last!

We’re still open to applications and have seen an absolute spike of activity down in Azshara. Come down to the bar and socialise with us!

You should’ve told me to bump the thread!

You are no thief. You aren’t allowed to know these things.

We are pleased to announce our shop, Shopping Pun, is now open for business!

Please check the details in our main thread of where to place an order with us or to buy something that’s already in stock.

The family have had a rough time of the past month, between Shattered Hand agents assaulting the bar, distractions with opening our new shop, and shady goings on in winterspring, we’re very glad to be back in Azshara to rest, recover, and recouperate- as well as to plan our next move.

There’s still a number of loose ends, though. Were the gang of Forsaken “children” telling the truth about working for the Hand? Or even that they were willing to leave us alone in exchange for the return of their companion? Is the corrupt guard Hahlnest really going to leave us alone? And are our traitorous “Allies” in winterspring really gone?

We’ll find out soon enough, i’m sure.

A massive thank you to Mardock for guest-hosting an event last week, as well as to all The Family members who have attended this month’s campaign. Looking forward to the next one!

Still thinking of you.
