Alliance Lordaeronian Roleplay Journal
So, back then we Alliance members in Lordaeron realm planned to meet up in the rp-ooc channel, but as I stay around in the channel, people comes and go from the channel and mostly, they were quiet, or busy levelling. I don't blame anyone though, WotLK levelling can be quite hardcore.
But with the coming of Brennen Moonback and his Templars(?) into Lordaeron realm, a roleplaying environment was finally set up in the Alliance side, a small step at first. While I can't join his guild due to having strong ties with my own, I can still interact with him. After all, who's to say that roleplaying is party/guild strict? I mean, yeah sure... some people could ruin the scene but....
Day 1 :
So, the first day I met Moonback is when he publicized his guild in the General channel. As soon as I heard 'Roleplay-friendly' I can't help but checking him out. Thankfully I always keep my roleplay gears for later use in a more peaceful place such as Stormwind and Ironforge. Besides, these shoulder pads look unrealistic for me to wear.

Bah
And the RP scene :
Estus just happens to be in the vicinity when Brennen started to get drunk and yells randomly in Dwarvish. The Paladin's behavior worried the hunter who just passed by the tavern so he told Estus (a bit OOC-ly) to keep an eye on him. After Moonback was a little bit more sober, the two established their identities, although Estus is less- enthusiastic... as per usual. She did make a warning about going the Scarlet Crusader's path to which Brennen reassured that it won't happen.

After parting ways (or rather, my internet got DC), Moonback sent Estus a letter, to which Estus (after few words consideration from me) replied with sending a few Darkmoon Reserve Ale she doesn't need, with a warning about how strong it is
(And she's not kidding, that thing can make you go beyond tipsy in one chug)
Conclusion :
Well, it's a start. I need to get those words coming out quicker. Luckily I chose her to be a Death Knight, so apathy is not something new for her
Day 2 :
Moonback decided to change the scene a bit so he went a bit south of the Eastern Kingdom, to the place where most people come and go : Goldshire

Ignore my size, I was just trying the enlarging recipe from my friend yesterday
RP Scene :
Brennen decide that Adventurers around Elwynn might need his help. For example, there was a human rogue passing by, telling the dwarf about someone called "The Collector" (You know who it was : Morgan the Collector of the Defias Brotherhood) and that while he appreciate Brennen's righteous ways, he admits that he's the type who will do anything to get the job done for the reward. With the rogue bidding farewell, Estus, who was hiding on the corridor came in to check the dwarf. She was taking a short break from Northrend's war effort. They were soon joined by a Night Elven hunter who was letting out his anger against the Kobolds around Elwynn, and mumbling something about befriending a boar. He had to leave shortly after to get the job done. The amount of Night Elves around Elwynn seem to amuse Moonback as he was joined by a night elven druid, Vena (Venazya) and a night elven priest, along with a human commoner (Tengelmann). Unfortunately he couldn't stay long and bid farewell,

So the remaining four people in the inn decided to talk about something else. The priest seems to be amused by Vena's dress, to which she told the priest that it was custom-made by her friend in Darnassus. The 4 decided to go upstairs. But something turned Vena and Estus away while the poor human commoner and the night elf priest were stuck there.
(At that point a few players decide to degenerate the scene. It is far too inappropriate to describe it, so let's skip that one)
While Estus doesn't really care about the commoner's fate despite Vena's worries, they both quickly came back to the inn when a scream was heard. Apparently things didn't go well in there.

Estus and Vena decided to accompany the human away to the forest as the problem becomes more complicated.
Conclusion :
I whispered both Tengelmann and Venazya to join up, both quickly improvised although Tengel was lost in his choice of words as soon as he realized what he had gotten himself into. But I reckon he enjoyed those moments. Besides, all the things he does is looking around the World of Warcraft in a fun way
It could've gone better, but at least while Moonback was there, it was quite fun. Of course not everyone is happy, one rogue even went as far as calling us ******s, while some others joined in for the purpose of ruining it (or not, but it's definitely ruined by porn scenes on the second story of Lion's Pride Inn, in which we decide to walk off. Tengelmann handled them better than we thought, however, as you can see. We'd probably hear from him in his blog a few weeks later). As some people say, show goes on, and we concluded it by going away.
We didn't continue after that, but probably because we set up a campfire just for the fun of it, some people think we did... and they decide to exploit it

The gold beggars can go a long way to achieve his wealth. Unfortunately this one got attacked by wolves as we dismissed him. He showed his true colors soon enough.
Regardless, it's quite fun for a stepping stone. I'm looking forward to meeting Moonback later on
Advice for Moonback : Get Total RP 2 1.008, it's quite fun. But when you log in, the addons might do some spam that will lock you off the chat for 1 minute. It's mostly a one time thing that doesn't happen every time though
Legacy of the Order - Razorfen Down run
To make this less overwhelming, imma put the image on spoiler section
I've made a conclusion that CeruleanSnow (Moonback) has moved on from this server, and so I moved Metsi to the Legacy of the Order, comprised of Roleplayers evacuating from the late Nostalrius server. It's not as hardcore as Snow's ideology, but the sense of connection between members and beyond is there.
At one occasion, one of us wanted to do dungeon run on Razorfen Down (again). It took us a long time due to server crash and long queue, but nevertheless, we proceeded. I asked the guild if we can do this ICly and was overjoyed when they agreed.
Now, do you remember Hatch from previous post? He's in the guild now as well
Now don't mind Vorakam's attire, he had a Deviate fish effect that I ignored, it wore off after a few minutes anyways.
Since I'm already a too high tank, the whole run would be easy peasy for me. It's only the matter of generating enough rage for damage mitigation, but the rest of that is....
We took the usual route as the others, especially since Vorakam wanted to learn how to make a Goldthorn tea. He's such a chef, see. So what awaits us next? Perhaps you still remember that other Razorfen Downs run with Snow and Bree.
Hatch has quite a common sense here, something Metsi is clearly lacking
Then again, Gnomeregan radiation has plagued his mind with stupidity, sorta
Well, moving on....
After this, you should probably have guessed what was coming up next, the freakshow of the century.
A few yelling from Hatch later, we come up swinging our daggers and hammers (and paws?) on Mordresh. Of course, the feeling of climbing up a pile of bones isn't exactly the most comfortable one....
The group seems to have lost their way towards the true terror of the Downs, Amnenar. So we ended up on the pens. As some people may have known, this is where the tea comes in as well as a quest giver who is unfortunately bugged.
Anyways, we finally made our way to the chilly spiral. This is where the true courage test comes in as we brave through spirits and corpses of the dead. Well, that's not to say that the quilboars we encountered weren't undead either.
In the spiral, you can guess what comes next, a few undead mobs, and... this big green guy here who seems to be so hungry
Let it be known that I'm not taking any gnome jokes about being eaten by big creatures kindly :D
Okay, after that failed feast from the abomination, we make our way up, slowly but surely. And then here it comes, our final prize.
Someone made him talk, but I aggro'ed him too early
Sadly I didn't get any shot of him punting me with his magic. We won quite easily, haha
And as a wrap up, here's the unfiltered screen of our little group, complete with the lord of the guild next to me, Tiade

I will be posting our last event in my PoV in its' proper thread
