Harvest Festival

Unread post by Syreenna »

Last night, The Grim participated in Harvest Festival, a holiday to celebrate the orcish hero, Grom Hellscream of the Warsong Clan.

After feasting outside the gates of Orgrimmar, the gathered Grim flew to Ashenvale, to the site where Grom had slain Mannoroth the Destructor. When Mannoroth died, he exploded, causing Grom's death as well. But Grom's brave act freed the orcs from a blood curse.

Khorvis and Ghaash spoke about Grom. Khorvis suggested the Grom was actually the first Grim, because he annihilated his enemy. Peace through annihilation! Ghaash also added to the tale, though many present could not understand his dialect.

Finally, the Greyseer Triplets arrived to tell the story as they'd heard it from their Gramps.

Before leaving the goblin recording device in the guild hall where other Grims could view it, Syreena angrily cursed at it and shook it.

"Work! What is the matter with this thing? Where's the rest of the story?"

With an exasperated sigh, she left the device for other Grims to view the part that was saved in the recording.

Tronto-TwistingNether quietly excuses himself.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: So Grom sailed there! Not really sure how, but he prolly didn't swim.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Yeah it makes sense if he had a boat of some kind.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: Uh huh.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: So once he landed, he found pinkers to kill! And he killed them up!
You cheer!
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: Thrall got all weird.
Tehau cheers!
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: He made Grom chop down wood and clear land! Busy work!
You frown.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: So Grom did his best, and went crazy chopping all over in this frikka forest that's all around us now pretty much.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: That ticked off the moonies. That's night elves.
You quietly snicker to yourself.
Ulrezaj-TwistingNether grumbles as the daggers fly around him.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: So they all battled! And the wars were hard, but the orcs were winning. Until....
Tehau-TwistingNether makes an angry face.
Lilliana-TwistingNether stares at Tehau.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: They told on him to a Demi-God.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: Tattlers! Bweh bweh!
You frown.
Feorn-TwistingNether chuckles, 'Hm, some demi-god.'
[Khorvis-TwistingNether]: Bah!
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: There was no way they could beat him just orc to Demi-God.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Then this witch doctor mercenary they were working with was all like something weird is in the woods...
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: The witch doctor was a Troll by the way.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Yeah!
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: That's prolly obvious.
Nehau shrugs. Who knows?
You are listening!
Lilliana-TwistingNether makes a face.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: So he was like, the weird thing is a well of blood!
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Grom was like NOM NOM NOM!
You giggle.
A sly smirk spreads across Kiaransalius's face.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: So they all drank it again! And they felt so powerful. They sliced up that little half god!
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: His name was Cenarius or something.
You cheer!
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: So they won that war, and they were gonna celebrate!
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: They were like go Grom Hellscream! Go Warsong Clan!
Brisong-TwistingNether cheers half heartedly "Wooo Warsong!"
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: But dun dun dun... Mannoroth the partay Destructor appeared.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: He was like you're my slave Grom! We're one in the same now!
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: It's like your worst black out drunk. Grom fell under his spell.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: He started wars with Thralls weird alliances, and Thrall was like Oh no you don't!
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: So he went to find Grom. He found Tauren buddos along the way.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: He was like I can't leave you like this Grom! I love you! And they put their necklaces together.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: Prolly.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Prolly.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: Yeah yeah.
You grin wickedly.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: And then Thrall and his new buddos subdued his old buddo Grom and they dragged him all the way to... this part is embarassing.
Khorvis-TwistingNether nods, completely entranced.
Brisong-TwistingNether laughs into a snort
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: .. To Jaina Proudmoore and a lot of pinker mages.
You frown.
Khorvis-TwistingNether grumbles under his breath.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: You gotta understand though! They didn't know how to make people forsaken yet, so they had to accept pinkers how they were instead of how they could be!
Atticus-TwistingNether shakes his head.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Everyone makes mistakes I guess.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: I guess.
You let out a long, drawn-out sigh.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: All those magickers worked together to free him from the Demon Blood Curse!
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: And then he was like, buddo! They prolly hugged. Maybe cried? No. They didn't cry!
Nehau cackles maniacally at the situation.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: They grouped up to go take out Mannoroth once and for all!
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: They found him here, pretty much excactly where we're standing!
Nehau-TwistingNether stomps her foot on the ground.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: Doing whatever demons do when they're alone.
Atticus-TwistingNether pokes the dirt.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: Thrall charged and got busted up!
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Grom was like... whaaaa?
Khorvis-TwistingNether pours half of his [Sulfuron Slammer] out on the broken ground.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: Then Mannoroth was all like, I'm your bestie now Grom!
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: Grom was like hex no! I hate you!
Lilliana looks at Khorvis.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Then Grom charged Mannoroth with all the demon blood power and all his hate and rage and righteous feelings!
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: Whoa nice Teh.
Tehau-TwistingNether nods proudly.
Nehau-TwistingNether nods along.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: And he cleaved him with an axe! Right in the center of his chest! Broke him in half. Mannoroth exploded!
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: POW!
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: That's totes gotta be why the ground is all scorched here.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: The problem was, Grom got doomed too.
You cheer!
You frown.
Lilliana-TwistingNether looks back at Ulrezaj.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: It was like what happens in the Brawler's arena like when the fire comes down, except even though they both died, Grom's kill counted.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: Thrall was heartbroken.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: He rushed to Grom's side and held him and Grom was like I finally don't have the curse... as he's dying, obvi.
Lilliana-TwistingNether tilts her head, and looks back to listen.
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: And Thrall said...
[Tehau-TwistingNether]: Hang in there buddo!
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: It was too late.
[Dehau-TwistingNether]: Grom was like at least I'm finally free of this demon blood curse.
[Nehau-TwistingNether]: He's still dying. Final breaths and stuff.
Lilliana nods at Nehau.
