*Returning from a campaigns in the Alterac Valley Morgh places his battle armor on their stands and sits at the fire burning inside the chiefs quarters of the Skullcrusher Crater hidden garrison.*

"Enough dancing with those devils this evening?"; asked a skeletal frame from the corner.

*in a deep breath and turn of his head Morgh grunts and nods an approval as he snacks on some old jerky*

"There have been several Elder declarations requiring your final stamp of approval my friend"; the skeletal frame remarks as he moves from the corner shadows.

Placing the pile of parchments upon a table...Galam, Warlock Undead guard, sifts thru the parchments and begins to read the letter from Elder Kalea.

"From the tent of the Elder of the PeeTub, I Kalea have found support for the following Peons to be promoted to the glorious status of Grunt in the Clan Skullcrusher Garrison."; Galam reads as he turns and gestures toward Morgh

"She does have a flare for protocol does she not"; Galam says with a grin.

As Morgh nods and enjoys the jerkey by the fire he stands and moves toward Galam still reading the parchment.

"Peon Ferjaman of Uglutz, Peon Lesedi of Kalea herself, Peon Perthes and Vierreenddaahlun....Vierr"; Galam gets frustrated and hands parchment to Morgh

"Here...not having some mandible makes this name for you to say..."; Galam buffs.

"Vierelden....heheh I don't even think his previous nickname would have done better for you my friend."; Morgh laughs at Galams difficulties in jest.

"Gud group...they wull du gud in da days tu come."; Morgh cuts his palm, presses his stamp into the blood on the parchment.

"Where be the Warmonger and Captains desingations Galam?; asks Morgh as he shuffles thru the papers.

"Silly bull...your making a mess"; Galam strikes down quickly a dagger that punctures one of the face down documents
"THAT one"; a chuckling Galam remarks as he moves toward the window overlook of the garrison grounds.

"GAH....mr mojo....majik man"; Morgh rebuffs as he tears away the parchment to see the correct document.

"Keep it up....insult me more and youll see what nightmares this Warlock can bring you"; coldly states Galam for the insult of being slurred a form of mage.

Morgh reads the short list....
"Elder of PEETUB...............Captain Nawtay
Elder of CAMPAIGNS.......Warmonger Ascoli

and your buddy here again Galam...
Elder of MERCHANTILE....Captain Vierelden"

"What is this one....Hmmm....Boss promotions....Its been many a moon since we have had this honor....lets see what statues have been formed from the Council Spirit fires"; Morgh comments as he unfurls the parchment and Galam begins to open the accompaning container.

*ashstone statues are placed upon the table by Galam*
"a hunter, a paladin, a mage...ooo your favorite Galam heheh, and...there ya go another warlock buddy"; Morgh ribbs Galam.

"Bring the parchment Galam...we must take these statues to the Alter of the Blood God quickly before the ash statues crumble in this moist Crater air."; Morgh orders as he gathers the 4 statues and he and Galam make thier way to the Garrisons Alter of the Blood God.

As the two make thier way through the halls of the Garrison they make note of the progress the Clan is making in preparations for the upcoming expeditions. Ancient Maube has returned and with her the knowlege of the frozen land of the Liche King. Clan Skullcrusher plans to make a strong statement in honor of the Horde in bringing this lands power into the rightful control of the Horde. Herds of Raptors are being harvested and outfitted in armors to prepare for the upcoming battles.....the thunder Skullcrusher Cavalry hooves with the ear peircing lightning of War Raptors yells is a terrifying combination that will shatter the Icy fortresses in the lands of the Lich King.

Reaching the Alter of the Blood God...Morgh and Galam kneel upon the steps of the platform as the ash statues stand below the giant hovering stone.

"By the order of the Council and Might of the Chief....I Morgh present these grunts to recieve the right of passage to Boss in the glorious garrison of Clan Skullcrusher....loyal protectors and defenders of the Horde!!"; yells Morgh as he stands and raises his fist to the hovering giant stone.

The alter begins to rumble and shake while the patterns within the platform begin to glow white hot....slowly across the giant stone small trickles of blood begin to form and combine down across its surface. Droplets of blood begin to rain down upon the ash statues and they begin to congeal and harden....the platform surface is now white hot and explodes upward in a fountain of energy and heat...bathing the whole alter area in light. As the light fades...Galam and Morgh put down thier arms that protected thier eyes from the searing light. Upon the table are 4 small vials of glowing blood.

"Galam encase those vials within soulstones...we must bring those to their new hosts."; Morgh orders Galam.

NOTE: Long ago the work of Uglutz and Vrugz brought the power of the Blood God to the Clan through this Alter...one of the portals to the GODS.

As the two depart the Alter..Galam looks back and comments.
"Getting blood from a stone....hope it has enough for the campain to come"

"There will be much blood spilled Galam....ours and our enemies....the more we take from them....the more the stone has to give us my friend."; Morgh says calmly as he pats Galam on the shoulder

"Much more to spill....but thats for tomorrow."; Morgh finishes with as they contiue back through the halls of the Garrison.

Welp, this boss doesn't have much bite to him.

On our first official foray into BT, we did pretty well. The Shade will fall next week!

Despite a rocky start to the evening, we prevailed and downed Azgalor!

Next week, we start solely on T6 content alone, and Archimonde is in our sights!

Congrats to our raiders on their first Tier 6 loot! Gloves going to:

Holyssa
Kadiana
Rahgesh



Archimonde! We're coming for you!

It is truly amazing what a little bit of SR will do for a group... This boss wasnt even a hiccup.

Now if only the silence/rain of fire on Azgalor didnt suck!
