Zangarmarsh, Coilfang... and Beyond!

[Vaelitha Skysong]

Well... there is no beyond. This is just about Zangarmarsh. As I have been hard-pressed to get online and when I do, find time to sit at any length and go over ideas (something I rectified this evening with Aldrannath as we went over the next big wedge of plot gumph), I thought it would be a good idea to put some ideas for things you guys can do inbetween the big event nights.

So... here goes -

Most of you that will be on, I am thinking, will be Sentinels, Huntresses, Scouts. So... would point to scouting as being the done thing. Ald said something about you having already done some scouting... but maybe more can be done. There are plenty of Naga hotspots and any intel is useful. I should think that it would be even required to check these places out before moving, so as to avoid them and make sure we won't be alerting any as we travel and then go into Coilfang.

I was also thinking that perhaps a trip into the Steamvaults could be done. Non-HC so no real muscle needed. It also means I can bring Karael (I think) and add a little something-something. I'll not say what and spoil the surprise, but there is that. If a few people can be on, Monday would be a good day for it.

Maybe something can be done about the special 'Controls' on the lake, maybe? It could be a way of making our trip into the Cavern easier. Maybe a crack team of Followers can go to the Controls and sabotage them, drawing attention from the reservoir itself and also inhibiting the flow, meaning we can travel through the pipes better. Just a thought, not one that is absolutely needed, but can make for some fun RP if you are at a loose end. And would only need a few, if only a couple of people. A quick 'in/out' job, as they say.


Anyway, a few ideas there. Hope they are useful.
Sorry to have not provided more over the last week. Being as it was unusually busy and stressful for me, it was awkward. Tiredness of mind and spirit do not make for healthy idea growing soil.
Besides... you don't need to be spoon-fed! Take these little ideas and run with them. Or change them to suit.
See you on soon and feel free to post more, or point out something I have missed or not taken into account. :3

Here's the beyond: how do people feel about a return to Naxxramas? ICly we'll be discussing this on Sunday, but OOCly I wanted to put this question out there beforehand.

The idea at the moment is that we go back to Naxxramas for one more evening. I'm confident that with eight people using Ventrilo we can get through all the bosses on my to-do list, but I'll make alternative plans to move the plot forward however it turns out. If you sincerely DON'T want to go back to Naxx at all, here and now is your chance to shout. If you ARE up for one last Naxx run, post here with your availabilities.

Not long after that (probably in a few weeks after my current RL upheavals are over) it will be time to start our IC Ulduar campaign. The idea is to spread this over several IC visits, with breaks in between, one single extended raid lock (so we kill each boss only once, with the option of OOC kills in between if there's a boss we want to skip IC) and lots of relevant plotty alternatives when we don't have the numbers to go into Ulduar. Now, my perception is that enthusiasm for an IC Ulduar is pretty strong, so that we have a good chance of getting a good turnout, but again, let's hear your thoughts. It's a bit early to be talking about dates for this; my thinking is that we'll have a weekly date for Ulduar-or-something (depending on turnout) for a month or two. Thoughts?
