We add another Fist of Grim, along with Dragonhawk Brigadiers, in the continued beating of the traitor dragon, Alysrazor. Her job was simple – to keep the druid Staghelm in prison. As with most Night Elf plans, it failed… he was freed… and she joined the Firelord, Ragnaros. Weakness will never be tolerated with the Grim, and to those who show this weakness… they will be destroyed.
How suiting a new role this will be.
Aftah our last few outings wit’ da Praetorian Guard, we knew we gotta take dem real serious-like. Da Alliance ‘ad a discipline we lacked, an’ wit’ dat discipline came dedly organized effort. Der melee team would chase down our mendahs one ba one, an’ dey kept a solid fist o’ der own healahs, mobile an’ redy ta lead us on a merry chase. While our last patrol ‘ad seen us reactin’ ta dis, we at best drug dem down ta a stalemate.
Dis las’ Sunday, da Alliance engaged us firs. We wuz at da northwestern bridge when dey came chargin’ across inta our formation. While we fought back as best we could aginst der tactics, dey depleted our forces enuff dat ah called a quick withdrawal ta da southern bridgehead, ta regroup an’ reform.
Dam, joo know it be real tirin’ runnin’ all da time. Ah tink we all tought dat too, ‘cuz dis next time da Alliance came around, we took der wave like da anvil.
As dey came fo’ our healahs, we beat dem off, an’ chased down der slayahs until dey went cryin’ back ta der holy pallies. We stemmed der tide leastways, an’ started snipin’ down der own mendin’ team. As der losses started ta mount, da Alliance pulled back an’ retreated from western Tol Barad.
Our outridahs found dem agin at da base o’ da cliffs on da northern beach, a favorite o’ dem Guard. We’d crashed aginst dem der often enuff dat we wuz canny. Ain’t no sense takin’ da enemy where dey want ya too. So we circled around ta da south side ta set up our own lines. Den we engaged.
We wuzna gonna go headlong rushin’ like we used ta. We copied our earliah tactics, not rangin’ out too fah, an’ keepin’ close ta a gigantic boulder dat stood out like a sentinel from da sea. Da Alliance pushed us back aginst it, attackin’ wit’ all der strength. When der strength failed, we trew dem back.
Da Guard an’ der ilk wuzna gonna leave, tho. As we fell on der lines, dey drew up several mages an’ bombarded our position. Den der regrouped assault forces charged.
Da Horde bent but did not break. As we absorbed der counterassault wit heavy casualties, our soldjas returned ta da battle an’ fell on da Guard. Havin’ suffered attrition durin’ da course o’ da evenin’, da Alliance broke. Tol Barad, fo’ dat night, wuz ours. Wuz da Horde’s.
Peace troo Annihilation!

The Reapers have beaten the Firelord, Ragnaros – yet success in battle does not always mean defeat of the enemy. Despite the success, the Firelord escaped until he met true defeat, leaving questions and a large cache of treasure behind.
A Fist comprised of Grim and Dragonhawk Brigadiers continue to push through the Firelands and its defenders. While they may move in the shadows of other Fists, some creatures refuse to die.
The Undoing of Lord Rhyolith
The Fall of the Red Widow, Beth’tilac
Our routine encountah wit’ da Guard on Sunday began at da beach. Seems ta be da blue badges like da sand. Mo ratha dey like da cliffs; gives dem a solid place ta hide der mendahs, an’ a solid position ta buttress aginst. We wuz outnumbahed in da beginnin’ ba aboot one fist o’ troops, but reinforcements quickly trickled in.
We fought dem on da strand as forces were joined, but befo’ long our melee ‘ad formed ranks an’ charged.
As we ‘ave found, da Guard an’ its flunkies maintain gud discipline until joo push dem enuff. As our assault fist hit der lines, da blues backed up towahds da road.
Da momentum o’ da combined Frostwolf, Grim an’ Brigade forces kept dem pushed jus’ righ.
As der lines disintegrated, da Horde push turned da Alliance retreat inta a rout. We drove dem ta da spirit healahs across da rivah from Farson Hold, where dey eventually disentangled demselves from our forces an’ regrouped.
Eagah ta capitalize on our victory, we sent outridahs ta scout der position an’ pursue. As da cries went out dat dey’d reformed at da beach, we mounted up an’ fell upon dem.
Unfortunate-like, da Alliance too often prove ta be like an anvil. Even broken once, dey kin aftah a short retreat become a wall ta da next wave ta fall upon dem. As our soldjas fell an’ da tide turned, we resolved ta not surrendah furtha our victory an’ withdrew ta da Hellscream camp.
Among dose in taday’s patrol, be listed Ambrion, Guduk, Linkali, Arrothien, Julkah, an’ Devalin.

Despite Shannox falling numerous times, a final death continues to elude him. To help ensure he remembers his place in this world, a new fist of ten have arrived to crush him.
While it has been some time since this accomplishment has happened, Majordomo Staghelm was defeated by Reapers. Ragnaros has so far eluded his fate, but time is against him.
The Praetorian Guard’s efforts to delay the Grim’s intentions to shell Stormwind from Bilgewater Harbor brought an Alliance strike team to the goblin city on September 4. Grim forces gathered with Dragonhawk Brigade and the Frostwolf Brotherhood to drive off the raid.
Two skirmishes at the Bilgewater cannon ensued. The original arrival of the Alliance forces suffered communication problems from goblin jammers, which led to a disorganized retreat. The second assault on the cannon was in full force. However, the Horde’s brutality in a confined area led to the slaying of the Guard’s entire strike force.
The second assault’s failure lead to the Alliance withdrawing to Bilgewater’s eastern beach head, where they set up a defensive perimeter. The Grim and assorted Horde, flush with victory and engorged with bloodlust, fell upon them.
However, the Alliance’s discipline led to the breaking of the Horde wave. Having lured the Horde away from the cannon, after the Horde defence force was defeated a portion of the strike team, involving Urivial the paladin, bypassed the remaining Horde defenders to sabotage the cannon. Goblin engineers report it should be a month until the mangled wiring and gizmos are restored.
Throughout the last month, Slayers have been making progress against the minions and lieutenants of Ragnaros, the Fire Lord. Lord Rhyolith, Alysrazor, and Baleroc the Gatekeeper have fallen, as it the way of creatures of importance never truly seeming to die.
Lord Rhyolith
Alysrazor
Baleroc the Gatekeeper
The Gatekeeper of the Firelord has fallen. While other Lieutenants rely on other creatures to do their bidding and their fighting, Baleroc the Gatekeeper stood against us on his own. While some of us fell to his rage – he only delayed the inevitable. Soon, we shall reintroduce ourselves to the Druid, Staghelm. Be it a tree in Darnassus or in the heart of the Firelands itself – the elf is but an elf.
