[PCU] Ronin - Pandaren Volunteer Force [H] šŸ¼

The best pandaren fighting force known to Azeroth.

You best hope they donā€™t take on their final formā€¦

(:blue_heart: you folks!)

The Ronin have touched down in Gromā€™gol alongside their comrades in the Saurfang Legion - and otherwise. It should be a fun week of RP with the campaign going on in STV.
Itā€™s not too late to hop along and get involved with some sick pandaren and Horde RP!

Best pandaren guild out there. I canā€™t wait to see more of this guilds roleplay.

What if I told you Iā€™m actually totally not a vulpera but a red panda Ź• ā€¢Ģ€ Ļ‰ ā€¢Ģ Ź”

I believe they would look at you and tell you to gain a few dozen pounds.

Tomorrow, those willing amongst the black silks are going to the Jade Forest, to try and bring a burglar causing some trouble around the area to justice! Hopefully force wonā€™t be necessary, but a lot of brilliant minds to catch a crafty crook will surely be valuable.

Should they succeed, they also intend to stay in the region for a couple of days longer, to take a break from dustier climates and see if they canā€™t borrow a dojo for some much needed sparring practice.

There are always more Ronin needed, every Pandaren has a skill they can bring to the table, war or dinner alike. If youā€™re interested in joining, donā€™t hesitate to contact one of the officers (Chyouka, Neerdowell, Softsong) when available!

The Ronin had a real out of body experience in the tunnels beneath the Temple of the Jade Serpent.

Now, with some artifacts subtly stowed away (and the thief locked where they belong), a bit of study and practice lies ahead for the unwavering Huojin as they stick around the Jade Forest. Hopefully weā€™ll get the chance to meet up with more of our kin while weā€™re here!

The Ronin have officially begun their hunt for the mythical ā€˜Jin Xiangjiaoā€™ - The Golden Bananas of Emperor Rikktik, said to possess miraculous and devastating power equally. The first night on the path already saw the gaggle of pandaren volunteers and their new friend from Honeydew subjected to hazardous banana peels and hungry crocolisks looking for a meal, including the infamous terror of the rivers, ā€˜Baron B. Hemothā€™.

Unfortunately, the story-teller they sought met an untimely end at the jaws of the ravenous reptiles. Now their path turns south towards Krasarang and Unga Ingoo in order to find the knowledge they seek.

One thing is for sure. Some jungle hijinx are bound to go down.
Adventurous Pandaren should seek the Black Silks and join in on their efforts of derring-do!

What a couple of days weā€™ve had! The Ronin have finished up their first adventures in the quest to find the Golden Bananas.

On day two they had to fight off the deplorable Saurok pirate, Admiral Gangrene, and his lizard crew to get to Unga Ingoo, where the Story-Teller they sought resided. Thanks to the newest Ronin, Suyin, they handled the bumbling reptiles with relative ease.

Once they landed in Marista and returned the raiderā€™s booty to the rightful owners, they made plans to head over to the hozen-infested island and bring an end to this journey.

Day three saw them come face-to-face with native hozen. Why donā€™t you have a look for yourself and see what happened? Hereā€™s a gallery of over forty screenshots from our three days of RP, from beginning to end. Thanks to Luo-Ze and Jue-Xi for taking these!

These really let you get a good look at all the wonderful characters that you can meet around the Ronin.

Suffice it to say, the quest for the Bananas will keep us occupied for a long while yet. If youā€™ve ever been interested in Pandaren RP, or had a fascination with Pandaria but never had a chance or crowd to immerse yourself in it, please, reach out to one of the Ronin!
Itā€™s so much fun to make use of the gameā€™s best continent and race! Thereā€™s always room for new or returning RPers among the Black Silks.

In recent days, courageous Pandaren amongst the Ronin ventured into the perilous swamps of Nazmir to complete an important task as a show of good faith to their Zandalari neighbours, in an effort to build relations now the days of slaughter and conquest were behind the ancient Empire.
The doorstep of Bwonsamdiā€™s home, the Necropolis, had been left vandalised, tombs defiled and wards which captured and denied troll spirits the embrace of their Loa constructed. Through wits, skill and communing with Zandalari spirits who had evaded capture in this act of sabotage, the black silks were able to restore order to the holy site and left it how any would wish it to be found. Though, with the culprits nowhere to be seen, concerns that this may happen again elsewhere couldnā€™t be ruled outā€¦

Ronin is always looking for new Pandaren who want to explore and act on what they think is right! Although the silks wrangle some funding from the Horde for their efforts, neutral Pandaren who want to choose their path are ever welcome!

Some Ronin are back in Northrend for the Cold Front campaign. Itā€™s currently what the goblins would call a ā€˜target rich environmentā€™; Regular undead, rebellious undead, Scarlets, Black Moon warmongers, or knuckle-dragging humans. Youā€™re spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a fight! And whatā€™s better is that theyā€™re all asking for it.

In times of strife thereā€™s plenty of opportunities to learn from enemies and friends alike. If youā€™re a Pandaren or from Pandaria, seek out the Ronin, and test both your strength and resolve alongside us!

Had the honour to be swatted like a bug by these shady and lovely Pandaren, honestly have genuinely adored each and every single interaction weā€™ve had with them. From table-tosses, to flamethrowers and weapon-tricksā€¦ The Ronin ALWAYS manage to create super fun RP, and has got me to laugh out loud several times.

But yea as I was saying got swatted like an insect by them

Tonight in Townlong Steppes, the Ronin found themselves travelling to the ruins South of the Niuzao Temple on the coast, to face a Cultist of the damned who sought to turn the spirits of the ancient dead into a powerful weapon. Empowered enough to take on the entire group with ease, Pandaren ingenuity prevailed in the form of a fireworks launcher, separating the Cultist from his deathly weapon and ensuring his end!

The black silks now take the time to relax in One Keg after their battle, though one wonders if their enemy was acting alone on the continentā€¦

If you want to get in on Hordeside Pandaren shenanigans, weā€™re always looking for more members to join in on our adventures, whether they be saving the world or fighting atop slippy rocks!

Itā€™s rare to find a pandaren only guild.
Even rare to find a Horde one.
Even rarer still to find a good one.
Join this powerful crew. Become strong. Find honour in battle!

Thank you for having us for training tonight. We tried to behave, I swear!!

Red Venturers did some training with Ronin in the always beautiful Jade Forest tonight. And then we ate and drank and ate and ate. These are the best Pandaren!

The Quest for the Jin Xiangjiao resumes!

Chapter Two will soon be upon the brave pandaren who call themselves Ronin. The trail of Emperor Rikktikā€™s mythical Golden Bananas leads them into the mountains of Pandaria, through ancient passes and misted valleys in pursuit of this most elusive of tales.

Dare you miss out on a chance to find one of the most precious treasures known to pandaren?

In their downtime, the black silks of the initiative were given the opportunity by Sergeant Gruggosh of the Thirteenth to train his loyal and ferocious grunts!

No stranger to Chyou-kaā€™s engaging but physically demanding training sessions, the ronin enjoyed being the tutors for once as they educated the Orgrimmar infantry on hand-to-hand techniques before challenging their wits and aggression in a gauntlet of ambushes and fast paced patrols!

It was an enjoyable evening all around, and good participation from everyone involved! Big thanks to the Hand of Conquest for letting us wrangle their guildies for the day.

Itā€™s a bit late, but, I cobbled together what screenshots weā€™d managed to snag this time and tried to summarise our escapade the other week.

In their previous adventure, the Ronin learned the origins of the Golden Bananas; crafted using ancient timelost methods from the period of the Pandaren Empireā€™s height, the relics were meant to be a gift for the inauguration of Emperor Rikktik.

However, a deadly Flu outbreak in the Valley of the Four Winds delayed their delivery, and they were eventually stolen by a legendary pandaren thief, Kai Yi Foo, and taken into the mountains.

Thus the Ronin tracked down the story of the Jin Xiangjiao into the north. Cao Hao established contact with a wizened old man who claimed to know how the story of Kai went. The rest of the Black Silks navigated their way to the elderā€™s mountain retreat in secret. While climbing the Hundred Steps they found it within themselves to forgive a hungry hozen highwayman for trying to crush them, and earned a steadfast friend in the process.

They also had another encounter with the infamous leader of the Saltscale Raiders, Admiral Gangrene, who survived their previous assault and learned of the Roninā€™s plans to find the Golden Bananas. He tried to catch them in an ambush, but his Jumping Jackdaw goons were vanquished and he was forced over the edge of a waterfall, never to trouble Pandaria again. Hopefully. . .

The second tale revealed that Kai Yi Foo had succumbed to his greed, stolen the bananas from his own thief-brothers, and been slain by the hand of a foreigner. The bananas were recovered and sold on to the highest bidder. After investigating the depths of Inkgill Mere alongside one of the Jinyu Waterspeakers, they found their way to the lair of the Kea Kunna Clam, an unpredictable and powerful being who supplied them with a crucial lead:

A stone record of the transaction between the Brotherhood of thieves and their noble customer, containing the name of a once glorious mining family and a list worth an Emperorā€™s ransom.

So, they once more set unto lore and scrolls, vying to uncover the descendants of the one who once had the wealth to buy such heavenly power.

Weā€™ve welcomed quite a few brave pandaren as Ronin in the last couple of weeks. Last night also saw one of those new comrades, Zhanng Serpentblossom, treat the Ronin, their friends, and the good people of Orgrimmar to traditional pandaren tea.

Things are building up for Shadowlands, and if you like pandaren, itā€™s a great time to try out the guild and check out some events and RP. Especially with an undead invasion kicking off, itā€™s more important than ever to defend Pandaria from outside malevolence and to uphold Pandaren ideals.
