Part Three: The Lord of Storms

~~~~~~~

*As the orcs wearily leave Razor Hill for Bilgewater Harbour, shuffling out onto the road in single file, the narrator's voice kicks in*

  "Vizumar, Lord of Storms, will blow away your filth-ridden cities!"

  Thus had echoed the curse of the greater Scythewind elemental during the confrontation on Scuttle Coast. The orcs had ridden hard north from Ratchet, hoping to find a crossing point over the Southfury river before the main bridge. In answer, fate had placed a shifty-looking goblin ferryman in their path, and they decided to risk it, wolves and all (even massive Drakada and his large battleboar!). The crossing was white-knuckled, and they barely made it, leaving a dismayed goblin to repair his half-sunk barge.

  The orcs arrived in Sen'jin village to scenes of recent devastation: the storm had come and gone, and after questioning some shellshocked townspeople, they learned that their contact was further north, where several ships had been literally wrecked ashore by the winds, investigating. Hot on her tail, our brave clan arrived at the Scuttle Coast, witnessing desolation: flattened palm trees, drowned and washed-up sailors of all races, and all manner of rotting wood splinters.

  At that point, they made what was arguably their first mistake: to look for clues, they spread out too thin. A first group ventured into a half-buried ship carcass. Another sniffed around a mostly-intact shipwreck, while the third stayed near the shoreline to look for the troll. All at once, three things happened: as the third group finally found the troll watcher Kin'weelay, a monster behemoth crab surprised Rava and her goblin friend, who led it to the others in their panicked flight! While those orcs dealt with the deadly enraged crustacean, something else was afoot...

  The group led by Vraxxar, which included two shamans, had stumbled upon a slowly-coalescing  wind elemental, and the disturbance caused by the orcs' arrival seemed to prematurely rouse it. Grek'thar attempted to commune with the elemental, trying to soothe it and gain answers, but the spirit only got gradually angrier, telling the orcs that they had interrupted the preparations, and threatening them with doom and windborne destruction from its master, Vizumar the Lord of Storms. Razor winds started to blow around it in wicked gusts, clearly signalling nefarious intent.

  Luckily, the giant crab being defeated, the rest of the group arrived just in time to aid Vraxxar and his companions (despite Chieftain Feraleye having immense trouble climbing up a slippery wooden plank). The fight was intense, and the foe extremely dangerous - a young Newblood was badly injured in the stomach when scythewinds of brutal intensity tore up the rotting wooden deck of the ship and hurled large splinters everywhere. Fierce gusts of wind deflected weapons, arrows and even spells, and the air itself cut at exposed skin.

Eventually, Grerk'thar's and Rhonya's shamanic prowess, aided by the others, managed to smash the bindings. The elemental howled in agony, but also with gratitude, and in its final echoes, it revealed where the agent of Vizumar, a mysterious Tauren, was planning to strike next: Bilgewater Harbour was to be annihilated by a tempest from the Bay of Storms itself!

Back in Razor Hill to lick their wounds,  the orcs deduced from the events and the information of the Waterseer sisters that this Vizumar was behind the ongoing chaos, both in Skywall and along Kalimdor's eastern coast. This time, they would beat the storm, find this rogue Tauren and put an end to the Lord of Storms and his rampage.

And so, onwards to Azshara, Orcs of the Red Blade!

Poison truly is a woman's weapon, ghrmm.

(( Updated time of third event to Friday 26th! Better flow ))

It is written 'gif', why would you replace the g with a j?

It's a french thing.

 Lovely read, but I'm missing key information to understand the whole story.

Can anyone quickly fill me in on what happened with Kogra, Rhonya and Gashuk, that made them be punished?
And is Gashuk resurrected from a soulstone?

 Very interesting - so, a lot more to Big Guy Drakada than meets the eye...

Thanks for sharing!

(( Huh,  so this is Srelok's IC death ?  ._.  ))

Part Two: On the Tempest's Trail

~~~~~~~

*As the orcs gather round the bonfire at the foot of the Tidus Stair, the narrator's voice kicks in*

  The Orcs had had a long, wet, tiring evening. They had agreed to follow Dekuul to a former cutthroat lair called Fray Island, south of Ratchet, to investigate a damaged, forlorn ship that had sailed out of the menacing storms further away at sea. After almost drowning when a "freak" wave washed over them as they crossed some narrow shallows, they reached the ship.

  A skeleton crew barely guarded the vessel, and warned the orcs that they had shut some cursed spirits down in the deep hold. And that the captain had been going quite barmy since arriving ashore. The orcs bravely pressed on, clearing the debris barricade, and came face to face with the captain and his first mate - who were rotting alive and had lost most of their minds somehow. The goblin captain blew a hole in the hull, forcing our adventurers to escape the sinking ship swiftly before they drowned with it.

  After defeating the troll first mate, a strange thing occurred: a small seaspray elemental erupted out of the decaying troll's head, and pleaded with the orcs to spare it, claiming that it had been bound to the corpse against its will by nefarious wind devils. Initially very suspicious,  the orcs finally agreed to follow the elemental back to shore and up the coast slightly, to the Tidus Stair, where three Tauren women awaited them.

  Mahren Skyseer, Islen Waterseer and the one that the elemental called its mistress, Neqwah Waterseer; they thanked the orcs for freeing the waveling, and provided more information on the mysterious happenings. The recent catastrophic events further south had shaken the entire planet - and the elemental plane closest to the chaos, Air, was in compete disarray. The wind elementals, already agitated by nature, were now in a full-blown "civil war" of sorts, as far as the Skyseer sister could tell with her shamanistic vision. A challenger was attempting to dethrone the current Wind Lord, causing the current storms and extremely bad weather up and down the coast.

  Now the tempest is moving north, getting closer to the densely populated areas of the Horde. Whoever is channelling the rebellious greater wind elemental that is behind all this, and allowing it to manifest in the physical world, must be tracked down.  According to Waterseer's contact, the storm is almost upon Sen'jin village in southern Durotar. Seek out Watcher Kin'weelay and get to the bottom of this. But be careful, orcs!
