Vol’Jin’s and Nalthar wind up staying at Katabasis Garrison for several days.
During the down time:
- Seek gathers herbs
- Lukas works on his Void Storage Device, that is expected to be completed and ready for Steamwheel negotiations at the end of the rest period.
- Stakk works on poison crafting and converting the skull of Gul’dan to Murkel (channel Bob from the Dresden files as a secondary source of arcane information and chaos)
- Ray spends a bit of time intoxicated with Vol’Jin’s and acting as a donor for Essence of Undeath
- Kris crafts potions, flouting the need for sleep with coffee and chemical spite.
Midday on 19th (4 days into rest period, earliest ability to leave ~22nd of Shadowmoon)
Vol’Jin’s and Ak’jash are contacted with an urgent summons back to Orgrimmar. Kris intercepts the evacuating horde members long enough to get an update on what the summons involved. Luckily we didn’t need to read the note tucked like a single into Ray’s loincloth.
Thrall received a distress call from Lord Maxwell Tyrosis(LMT) at midnight of the 18->19th from the eastern Plaguelands. The necropolis in the eastern Plaguelands ruptured releasing a puissant invasion of the undead. There has been no contact with Light’s Hope including the commanding forces, and teleportation to the area has failed. As the Argent Dawn is is the epitome of neutral, this alert was also sent out to the Alliance as well as other factions of the Horde.
LMT – paladin at light hope chapel, overall leader of the Argent Dawn well respected neutral faction.
The closest teleportation circles to the afflicted areas are Chillwind Camp or Bulwark.
With great acclaim, Ray discovers his flask can dispense cocaine. He can roll to learn other drugs. Kris destroys a coffee cup against the wall of the base in rage at serendipity’s fuck up. She borrows some cocaine for her next pot of coffee and summons the rest of the group to update them on the situation.
Lucas completes his Void Storage Device!! On the 21st of Shadowmoon.
The group take most of the rest of the day to get the item to Ratchet via kodo cart and arrive at 7pm.
Lukas is able to walk into an appointment with Jios, the Logistics Master for the Steamwheel Cartel. He appears to charitably take the admonitions of the sleep deprived Kris in these mediations, although she seems rather unduly concerned with lethal pretense.
Terms Negotiated for Void Storage Devices with the Steamwheel Cartel:
All terms in perpetuity for Lukas, his estate and his representatives.
- 10% of all Void Storage Device transaction costs
- The Steamwheel Cartel rebuilds the crossroads
- (cost of 67k gold)
- construction starting on the 1st of Firebloom (in 9 days) with completion expected after one month.
- Free use for all Void Storage Devices and free use of the Dimensional Portals.
- 20,000 gold, up front, for Steamwheel cartel exclusivity for Void Storage Devices.
- Renegotiation of exclusion criteria in one year.
- Void storage devices sold to us at the discounted rate of 10,000 gold, including installation.
- Renegotiation of purchase rate in one year.
Secondary Contract:
- In exchange for installing teleportation circles at our 2 bases and the crossroads we will relinquish the 10% transaction cost profit for those locations.
Group Housekeeping While in Ratchet:
Group deposits all but 10,000 gold into the bank.
Group deposits all additional gear into a Void Storage Dimension.
Katabasis Garrison has a Void Storage Device with an established pocket dimension equipped with shelves/mannequins for armor and equipment storage, rations and an automatic water system.
Note: “the only thing you can’t do in a pocket dimension is grow things”…this means produce etc will stay fresh)
Ak’jash contacts Kris, with a request for the group to appear in Orgrimmar the following morning. Some of the Argent Dawn high command have reappeared and are fortifying Bulwark.
-80 gold for transport
The group arrives in Orgrimmar via portal. Bulak, plump and glowing, greets Ray. The baby is due in 4 months(19th of Sunwa). The Horde has been coordinating the counter invasion of the undead army with the Alliance and the Argent Dawn.
Highlights of the campaign map: -DM to generate a battle map of the region.(see end for update)
The Necropolis is floating to the East of Strathload and just South of ZulaMashal (troll ruins in eastern Plaguelands).
Marked as strongholds: Hearthglen(the scarlet crusade camp) and the ruins of Anderhall, interestingly Scholomance is crossed off.
Per discussions with Thrall (the leader of the Horde) in Orgrimmar:
Tensions and enmity in Ashenvale have been set aside between the Horde and Alliance, in light of the current invasion. The Argent Dawn claimed espouse of both sides, hell has officially frozen over.
Due to the expansive occupation of the undead, the Western Plaguelands will need to be liberated before forces can even enter the Eastern Plaguelands.
With Tyrande’s remarks of acclaim, the Horde/Alliance/Argent Dawn would like to contract the party for strategic dismantling of the undead command structure with moral impunity, and licentious actions. They would like to take responsibility for the party’s maverick behavior with payment and supplies. We now have a sponsor, for this assignment. Should we choose to accept it.
Brigadier General Delnora and Captain Emkath have volunteered to meet us with their zeppelin at the Bulwark.
Contract for Coordinated Assault on Necropolis Army to destroy the undead command structure:
- 75,000 per zone (2 zones)
- The Horde will process potions overnight for us if we just give them the reagents
- +1 plate armor (very ornate and embellished!), see image at end of notes
- 10 common healing potions and 6 uncommon healing potions – in advanced
- they will make several potions overnight if we give them the resources (they will spot us 27 Chamomile)
The group was given the teleportation codes for the Bulwark, the party is expected to contact Lord Maxwell on arrival for further information.
Before leaving Orgrimmar, the group will requisition from our magnanimous benefactors portal codes for Horde controlled areas as well as the allotment of 27 chamomile herbs…on pain of maleficent chaos caused on the behalf of the Skull of Gul’dan and myrkul’s chaos bunnies.

Blue Line - Alliance Warpath
Blue Circle - Alliance will work to establish an encampment there as a resupply point
Black X’s - places that have been destroyed/appear to be destroyed
Western Plaguelands overall war objective has neutralize the 3 strongholds, the last one being at the only entrance into Eastern Plaguelands
Highlights of the campaign map:
The Necropolis is floating to the East of Strathload and just South of ZulaMashal (troll ruins in eastern Plaguelands).
Marked as strongholds: Hearthglen(the scarlet crusade camp) and the ruins of Anderhall, interestingly Scholomance is crossed off.
One thing that you will find out is that you cannot assault the bridge in the back until both of the other forts are taken down.
For all intents and purposes, there are two exits in the Western Plaguelands, The Bulwark and Chillwind Camp Additionally, there is a single, now heavily fortified, entrance into the Eastern Plaguelands. While some things we know of from the base game are definitely still there, there are new additions.
