The following event is POSTPONED until further notice
Plastered across the walls of every goblin city and the city of Ogrimmar are several posters depicting an airship, with text describing an adventure of bravery and gold.
"Do you lust for adventure? Learn to fly through the wild blue skies, but never could? This is your chance!
An elusive and infamous pirate by the name of Blackstroke has commandeered a prized zeppelin several days ago. The vessel has been spotted several times over the city of Gadgetzan, indicating that the motley responsible may have a hide away nearby!
Those who are willing to take to the skies and participate in what is sure to be an exhilarating man hunt should make with haste to Gadgetzan bearing their weapons and their wits! Cannoneers, a secondary pilot and an engineer or two are all on the recruitment list! The goblin Britz Muzzlethrust will be your host as you pilot his own zeppelin and our pursuit begins!" A date and time is printed on the bottom of the poster and a reward of a minimum four gold coins.
While the Horde was pre-occupied with its assault on Ashenvale, the self-proclaimed pirate and Death Knight Grell Blackstroke and his equally as mad followers performed a heist and took off with one of the Horde's prized Zeppelins, forcing the goblin pilot to work for him. Without the resources to divert from Ashenvale for a full-scale manhunt, the Horde turns to a far more cost effective method; mercenaries. They hire a goblin by the name of Britz Muzzlethrust and charge him with retrieving the zeppelin 'With all due haste, or else'.
The goblin, in turn, puts up posters pleading for the assistance of competant adventurers who may fill the roles of the airship and fill in for his own goblin mercenaries. The goblin has no preference over Alliance or Horde, however he doesn't intend to tell the Horde of their involvement.
Event Details:
First off, even though the event is a neutral one, it would be a sore disappointment if more Alliance showed up than Horde.
Warlocks, necromancers and such evil beings would not willingly be permitted onto the ship and if discovered on the ship would promptly be thrown off. This is in part of Britz's personal distaste of them, and in part of the comfort of the other members.
The event would be best suited to a dozen or so people. The zeppelin will come with four guns, however only two would be aimed at the enemy at any time. The two gun slots, the pilot and the engine master would make up the base crew, although two engine masters are acceptable, while the rest of the players would make up the boarding party. For the sake of immersion, spells that 'totally blow up the airship' are not allowed. Depending on the amount of mages and archers present I may allow a 'volley round' at the enemy ship to pre-emptively thin the numbers.
Healing magic will be restricted to twice per 'phase' from healing players, with a 1-3 roll to determine strength. Resurrections on-ship are not permitted, however if your character is 'killed' you can roleplay being knocked out or fleeing into the zeppelin and hiding (kiss your reward goodbye though!).
The event will be run on POSTPONED. It is primarily a combat event but of course you can use your time on the airship to meet people, and there will be small pauses between phases to socialize. That's assuming I gather enough public interest through this post...
There'll hopefully be an announcement an hour or two before the event starts.
If you have any comments complains or suggestions PLEASE feel free to post them (nicely!).
