Wildfire Riders

Ceil hopped a boat out of Northrend to head back to Stormwind for the trial of Fells Drachmas. She arrived late on the second day. She did not drop a plaguebomb.

Said trial is going...well, it's going. Bets on when Fells will be hanged are premature. We hope.

Ceil only did not drop plaguebombs because she did not have the time to properly prepare.

do you think she had forgotten?

Do you think she had forgiven?

This video from the Drachmas trial just appeared on SNN (Stormwind News Network). Boy, is Shael looking sharp or what?

Ranting interminably to anyone who will listen about "the source of magic," "Malygos was an inside job," and "the truth, man, I'm telling you," Tirith converts an unreasonable quantity of gold into thaumaturgic equipment and absconds to the Netherstorm. Every once in a while his voice crackles through the box: "Ah, are there any Riders, friends, or loved ones in or near the Netherstorm?" If the response is negative, he assures that he's "Just curious. You're completely certain, right?"

Varenna is stupid about her own self-preservation, and hasn't been giving herself enough time to heal the broken bones she got a couple weeks ago. As a result of this, when she used a bad mood to hit Mal'Ganis in the Caverns of Time really hard with her shield last night, the impact broke her hand and forearm all over again. Delion patched her up, then put her arm in a splint and gave her strict orders not to use it for ANYTHING for at least a week. So far she's been obeying these orders; for the subsequent instances, she left her shield on her back and fought one-handed.

Aely's last few weeks as ret brought out a particularly reckless (read: stupid) streak, and she'd been running off headlong into things that she really probably wasn't able to handle, and then crawling home at night looking like she'd been on the wrong end of a bar brawl.

Wrathgate notwithstanding, this was a particularly bad weekend in Storm Peaks. She lost her gloves but kept fighting anyway, broke her little finger, got frostbite on her hands (from the glove incident), and generally was pissed off/frustrated that everyone she tried to help was either lying, in the lich king's pockets, or died anyway. Add that to the incident with the Blight Worm, and she's not got much left in the way of confidence as a fighting type. So for the time being she's given up on being even remotely helpful by doing damage and gone back to helping her friends beat the bad guys by keeping them alive. So far, it's been remarkably good for her mental state. Can't tell if it's helped her sleeping, as she hit up the Dreamfoil last night.

She's also taken to making knotted prayer ropes again, of various sizes and complexities, from colored cord that she braids herself. It gives her hands something to do when she can't sleep, and the Argent Crusade healers have found them to be pretty well received among the wounded.
