Hero Squad

Assuming hell doesn’t freeze over or the nerf-bat stays away from the Lich King hardmode, this will probably be the last progression update you’ll hear from us in Wrath. Last Thursday Henq’s Heroes got together to dance around blocks of ice, and managed to kill the boss with the most annoying mouth in the history of voice acting. We dicked around for most of the night, then finally, Muertedolores called everyone in the guild fat, which was all everyone needed to hear. The Heroes held hands and pranced around blocks of ice, and eventually the dargon got all big and red, and Henq killed her with his bare hands.

So begins our first game of the 2010 Hero Squad Sealed Chest Extravaganza. This game will have our raiders traveling around Azeroth completing odd tasks, doing some sightseeing, and more than likely getting themselves into a bit of trouble. At stake is a chance to take home an item of their choosing from the Sealed Chest.

Rules and the full list of items raiders will be hunting for after the jump. (continue reading…)

In the next few weeks our resident DPS DK, and all around nice guy of the year, Sog the Destroyer will complete Hero Squad’s first Shadowmourne. As you probably have heard by now, when Shadowmourne is created Sog will be given a quest that awards 5 rare and unique vanity items:

• Reins of the Crimson Deathcharger – Pretty kick-ass mount. Red colored and looks like the Death Knight’s class mount.
• Tabard of the Lightbringer – A tabard with a bright glowing on-use effect
• Muradin’s Favor – Transforms you into a Frost Dwarf for 10 minutes.
• Jaina’s Locket – Opens a “mage portal” to Dalaran
• Sylvanas’ Music Box – A music box that plays Lament of the Highborne and spawns two lady ghosties.

As a sort of “Thank You” to our raiding core, many who have been slogging it out with us in Icecrown Citadel since December, we’ve decided to make these items available to our our raiders.

Rather than just choosing from our favorite people in the guild, or using some boring random /roll method, we’ve decided it would be fun play some games, with the winner and runners-up of these games being awarded this loot.

The games will have our members roaming all over the World of Warcraft. Possibly humiliating themselves. Perhaps begging for help from anyone who will listen. Probably getting themselves killed in ways that will have the passer-by scratching their heads.
