Headline: Our beloved and most trusted wyrmtrainer Halfus the Wyrmbreaker has been brutally killed.

Shortly after discovering that he did not clock into work this morning of December 30th, 2010 his body was discovered in the pits of lava behind his dragon perch. Twilight CSI are hot on the case and have found amongst pieces of cindercloth, broken weapons and lots of blood, some tufts of strange hair, suspected to be worgen in nature. The only few leads the CSI team has to capturing the culprits have the team of investigator baffled.

Sinestra was quoted in an interview:

“This is a heinous crime, and could only have been commited by the strongest band of misfits of the alliance. We have our eyes on a particular bunch that call them selves Vanquish . We can’t jump to conclusions, but we are sure it was them, and if they dare to come back, be sure that we will put up a fight”

This comes as no surprise as this group is known to have been wreaking the forces Deathwing has elected to be his trusted protectors, if you ask me, Deathwing is pissed off and probably not just a little scared. Vanquish will very likely be coming for him soon enough

Despite overall holiday shortages and occasional lack of tanks, tonight a small group of Vanquish adventurers plunged into Blackrock Descent. After a few attempts on the Omnitron Defense System, a perfect kill came together. Everything thrown at us from fire to poison bombs was swatted away and the mechanical giants fell helplessly as their cores were torn from their golem bodies.

Next, we backtracked to the hot headed worm, Magmaw. The fiery S&M bitch of a wyrm wasn’t getting what she wanted from her draconic toys so we bitch slapped them and gave her a few shots. Sadly things got a little too wild and she succumbed in a way similar to David Carradine after her oxygen was cut off by a large spike to the throat and many beatings to the head. Word is we are currently under investigation by the WOW SVU.

Halion: Twilight Destroyer… embodiment of Deathwing’s will… murderer of his kin in the Ruby Sanctum… floor mat. After several months of the “Heroic” felon eluding the local authorities of Staghelm, Halion was finally struck down by a group of vigilantes, reputed for their ruthless culling of any who hinder their efforts, including the elite guard which safeguarded the dragon. Citizens are advised to avoid direct contact, as several cases have been reported involving random acts of violence directed at those who impede their progress; questionable treatment of their domesticated companions has also been alleged.

Although some herald Vanquish as heroes of our time, others insist that the group is a glorified community of thieves, seeking out the rich and stealing their possessions. Be advised that the group was spotted in southern Icecrown, and residents of the Citadel should hide their belongings to prevent seizure.

As fun as it may be for classes with stuns to be able to make use of them during the Lich King encounter, it is terribly inconvenient when those classes are lacking; at the very least though, it provoked results elsewhere.

After a long absence from 10 Man progression, Vanquish has once again lived up to its name in both Icecrown Citadel and Ruby Sanctum, with different groups each completing a zone. Congratulations and thanks to those who put in the time after hours to get these kills; scheduling a consistent group can be as difficult as the encounters themselves.

Detonating Vile Spirits flying chaotically around the room at full speed may be fun for some players, but remind us to bring a Shadow Priest for Phase 3 next time.

I may not have been there, but I have faith that my guildmates followed proper protocol and decapitated Halion after the screenshot. Otherwise, he could be brought back to life in less than a week’s time.

ICECROWN CITADEL (AP) — The guild Vanquish, accused of murdering a popular Icecrown Citadel Professor of Infectious Diseases, Alchemical Horror and Fun, has plead guilty on one count of first degree murder and four counts of armed robbery. Mr. Putricide, who had taught at Icecrown Citadel since December 2009 and whose research efforts had reportedly recently led to a new plague that would wipe out all life on Azeroth, was found dead in his laboratory on May 27th. Autopsy reports indicate that Mr. Putricide was slashed, stabbed, bludgeoned, clawed, diseased, frozen, burnt, poisoned, gnawed, and shot, amidst other, less identifiable injuries. Icecrown Citadel chancellor Arthas Menethil spoke briefly with reporters on Thursday. “He was always coming into my office with good news, and it baffles me to think that anyone could possibly want to harm such a cheerful, sadistic man in the prime of his undeath. We’ll sorely miss him, but I expect to have him raised from the dead again and back in the lab within the week.” The guild Vanquish is expected to be sentenced to fighting the Heroic version of the Lich King.
