Yes. Hello! That would be me. GL, HF.

Try not to die.

Also, due to the lengthy RealID conversations required to gather all the information I needed, on horde side, the dragon struck after most of the forces had already returned from the barricade, and where snugly tucked into Honeydew. A minor detail. Smile

The best way to kill a frost wyrm is to jump on it and stab it with the rib of another frost wyrm.

Awesome stuff, and may i compliment the organisation skarain. the battle reports, progress and map are adding a wonderful flavour to it all.

First of all, thanks for the awesome RP PvP, and second of all, thanks for not killing me when I went airborne and low for some shots Smile

And without further adeu, albeit it is laggy at the beginning slightly, here is the video I made of the battle.

Tonight was another epic night of battles!

The horde forces awaited the frost wyrms arrival at Honeydew village, but they where prepared for it! Using tethered balista-bolts they shot it out of the sky, dragged it to the ground and eventually crushed it!

For a more detailed description of events, I provide to you the update I wrote on our private Marauder forums:

Meanwhile, the Alliance spent their time blasting innocent pandaren with mortars. Twisted Evil

by **Dolerien** Sun Dec 16, 2012 12:05 am

I do like the way the Horde side have kinda followed the new Pandaria lore. The main forces are comprised of Orcs, with token support from Silvermoon. The Trolls and Tauren have a tiny input, and the Forsaken are nowhere to be seen.

Marauders, I've not counted you here since you're operating kind of at the fringes of Horde law.

HAIL (HEIL?) HELLSCREAM

P.S. Alliance? We pwned your pathetic frost wyrm.

Balloon-ships are goblin engineering. That means blowing up is a feature, not a failure.

"The zeppelin is an example of one of the most stable technological devices to be found on Azeroth (a trait uncommon of goblin inventions), and malfunctions tend to be non-threatening. Naturally, it is possible for the zeppelin to drift off course or develop a leak, but only rarely will the phlogiston boiler have difficulty, and even rarer still will it explode."

Hahahah, I love you Drustai.

One does not argue against Drustai. She sold her soul in exchange for mastery of the Lore. True story!

by **Skarain** Sun Dec 16, 2012 4:00 pm

Progression updated. Preparing for the final day.

Aishling touched her ankle, and sighed for a moment. She has felt better, but she could walk again. She had been real busy with correcting the mistake made by the Alliance, which she felt was bound to happen anyways. Mails had been written to the mainland, as the Horde alligned Pandaren would learn this sooner than later. Lots of meetings were had and decisions were made for "the public", whatever that word meant.

Her ears dropped a little. Tonight another fight, and the amount of felmagic in her body suggested she really was up for the task. She also concluded she would be an enormous timebomb there.
She looked at her pocketwatch and said: "Maybe if I meditate now, I can be part of the fight!"

Due to maintanance on the tracks I can't promise I will be there in time, but I will try to be!

The darkened cave was illuminated by the steady and unnatural light of arcane crystals. Six of them, floating to create a circle, tethers of arcane energy binding them together. In the middle of it lay a large, spherical metal object. Grooves and runes ran over it's surface, all around, and the hollow core was accessible by an opening in the top. Delidah stood at the edge of the circle, quivering with excitement, her floating crystalline arcane helper "Geode" by her side.

"Geode, activate gravitational null-field." The goblin spoke, her voice trembling. The hovering cluster of arcane crystals known as Geode immediately responded, crackles of energy running over it's buzzing surface. "AFFIRMATIVE", A robotic voice announced. A wave went through the six crystals in the circle, activating them in turn. The metal sphere in the middle lifted from the ground. Delidah stepped into the circle, and immediately felt the grasp of gravity lose hold over her, her wide robes fluttering. She moved with caution; every sudden movement could alter the field, alter her trajectory, alter the outcome of this experiment... She would have to be careful. Steadily she floated towards the sphere, a small box in hand. Once she hovered over the sphere, she opened the box to reveal a stone inside, glowing fiercely with a sickening cold hue; The heart of the Forst Wyrm. Small beads of sweat rolled down from under her hat, over her cheeks. One false motion now could have disastrous consequences. The Goblin grinned.

Slowly but surely she maneuvered the heart over the chamber in the sphere, carefully guided it to it's rightful place. She held her breath as it got closer and closer... Then released it in relief as a subtle "click" resonated through the cave. The heart was in place, the cap automatically slid into the opening. Delidah hovered back a little to watch the mechanism at work, so perfect, so graceful... All the tiny cogs and pieces whirred in unison, locking the heart in. The grooves and runes on the device came to life, one by one, with the same unholy glow that had emitted from the Wyrm heart. Delidah floated out of the circle she had created, softly landing on her feet...

"Yeeeeesss!!" She shouted, elated with herself. "Success! It works!! IT WOO-HOO-HOOOORKS!!"

The goblins manic cackles echoed across the chamber, where the device hovered, silent and ominous, bathed in an unholy blue glow.

The bomb had been armed, ready to be deployed...

Geode crackled: "TASK COMPLETE."

by **Allandra** Sun Dec 16, 2012 7:18 pm

[23:12:41] To [Bismack Bronze]: I have an X-mas present for you Very Happy

[23:12:45] [Bismack Bronze] whispers: :O
[23:12:48] [Bismack Bronze] whispers: IS IT A BARRICADE?!

I had to post this.

by **erwtenpeller** Sun Dec 16, 2012 8:59 pm

All had been ready, the translocation coordinates where in place. Delidah had her finger over the big red button, when suddenly a voice crackled through Geode's communication protocols.

"Abort the mission. Your services are no longer required. Return to home base, bring the device."

Next time, Alliance. Next time...

The Horde laid siege on Paw'don village shortly before nightfall, clearing their way through the Pandaren defenders who were forced to make a hasty retreat in risk of being killed. The Horde were chased after by the Alliance forces whose were already diminished from the battle over the Alliance barricade. Entering Garrosh'ar, Alliance main supply route into Jade Forest since the fall of the bridge, the Horde ravaged a number of ships and crates stationed there. Mimiron's Fury made its way to the sea following the first sounds of battle, and luckily avoided harm. As a final act, the Alliance detonated what remained of the port. The Horde made their retreat when an Alliance flagship sent from Lion's Landing arrived in sigh, unwilling to take a broadside of bombardment. The port now lie in ruins, and Alliance took a heavy hit. The Alliance High Command however had few words left to say.

Gilran: "They may have won the battle, but certainly not the War."

------------------------------------------

As all things must end so have the Campaign has now officially come to its end. While the end to a week of great roleplay is sad it also means a new beginning. My primary goal of the campaign was to create a stage which anyone can continue forward. Those involved in the actual organizing of the Campaign now knows eachother and are able to weave new plots, new Campaigns with the communication network forged for this. As goes the saying, the battle may be over, but the War has just begun.

Special thanks to:
Amaryl and co. for their Hillsbrad Campaign a year ago which was the main inspiration of Jade Fist.
Gilran for his support in creation of this.
Paozi and Blooming Lotus for coordinating the Native interference.
Kozgugore for organizing the Horde side.
Moglim for creation of the Map.
Drustai for providing the Sha roleplaying guide.

My deepest thanks to the entirety of Defias Brotherhood Roleplaying Community, everyone who attended the Campaign and brought their creativity on the table to enrich the experience of others. The Campaign would not have been the same without you or your efforts.
