Hero Squad

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.

Read on for more details on the games…

Overview of the games
(more details and indepth rules as we get closer to the date):

Game #1: Screenshot Scavenger Hunt
On Friday, August 6th at 6:00pm EST we will post a list of 100 things for participants to see, or do all around Azeroth. The Scavenger Hunt will end on Sunday, August 15th at 11:59PM. The first, second and third place winners will be eligible for loot from the Sealed Chest.

Game #2: Officer Hide and Seek
On Tuesday, August 17th all eligible raiders will meet on the Dalaran North Banks steps. At 8:00pm (normal raid start time) Henq, Shavyah and Skrob will all hearth away and head to hiding spots somewhere in Azeroth. Participants will then race to try and hunt down the officers before their fellow raiders. First and Second place winners will be eligible to win a piece of loot from the Sealed Chest.

Awarding the Items
On Tuesday, August 17th, after the game of Officer Hide and Seek is over, everyone will meet back up on the steps of the Dalaran North Bank. The 5 winners will then face off head to head in a game of chance to determine the order in which the items are chosen.

To our raiders, good luck and have fun. To our fellow members of the Bleeding Hollow community, if you see a Hero Squad member doing something awkward or stupid, it’s all in the name of rare loot. Help them out if you’re feeling charitable, and if not, go on and grief the living hell out of them.

Check Herosquad.us often. More information and updates will be posted in the coming weeks.
