Considering that the guild is growing quickly suddenly, it occurs to me that this piece of crap website will simply never do.  It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's...well, terrible.  The options are limited, and most of the cool features of having a real "guild site" are barely-to-not working.

So, I'm gonna do my best to figure out a real website situation.  After all...you're The Cunning Linguists damnit!  You deserve better!

Impressive, eh?

I forgot to get the standard screenshot, though.  This probably had a little something to do with Mother Smolderweb's mother fucking constant Web Explosion debuffs.  Speaking of which...I found this on WoWWiki today:

"It is not feasible to complete this quest on a full clear of the instance.  The debuff is too cumbersome to leave uncured. Players who wish to complete the quest should form a group that agrees in advance to leave the instance immediately after encountering Mother Smolderweb."

Well, that's just not how the Linguists do things, WoWWiki.  We're hardcore!  Or stupid.  One or the other.

Anyway...next up will be a Dire Maul tribute run or Upper Blackrock Spire, depending on how many guildies we can wrangle together.

I had completely forgotten where the World of Warcraft screenshot folder was, but finally found it again!  So, now I can finally start uploading all those important screenshots we've been taking.

First off, comes the victory photo from our very first guild only dungeon run, Sunken Temple.  Now...I know it doesn't look like it, but we're standing next to the Shade of Eranikus in this picture.  It just turns out that when you skin him...he becomes invisible.  But trust me...he's there, damnit!



And next, comes our less than meticulous attempt at gathering on Emperor Thaurissan's throne for a group photo.



Overlord Wyrmthalak...The Cunning Linguists have you on notice, bitch!

In addition to the last post, I discovered one last unsharable, but easy quest that you guys can pick up.  It's technically in the middle of a very long quest chain, but it will apparently let you jump in even if you haven't done the previous quests:

Speak with Cyrus Therepentous in the Burning Steppes (he's in the cave on the eastern wall).  Normally you would need an item to give to him, but just speak to him instead and he will make fun of you for being so worthless.  At this point, he'll go ahead and spawn a dragon for you to kill, which will give you the item you need.

Here's where it gets slightly tricky for a moment.  You have to choose the text option to "present" the item to him, which will then allow you to complete the quest.  You now have a quest for Blackrock Depths.  All the rest will be shared when we meet up.

Again...you're welcome.  :)

Guild event number two is a go!  It should even be on your in-game calendar, which I think is all too snazzy.  A few preparations may help everyone get the most out of the run:

There are two quest chains that it may behoove the lowbies to finish before the run.
 
1) This starts at Yorba Screwspigot at Steemwheedle Port in Tanaris.  This is an easy chain.  She will simply send you to talk to Yuka Screwspigot in the Burning Steppes.  Then accept Yuka's quest (Ribbly Screwspigot) and you're ready for the dungeon part of the chain.
2) This next one begins at the historian in the Explorer's part of Ironforge.  Accept The Smoldering Ruins of Thaurissan.  Now, talk to him again and listen to him blabber on about history.  Once you've heard his story, he'll give you the second part of the chain, also called The Smoldering Ruins of Thaurissan.  This requires you to go pick some articacts of the ground in the Burning Steppes, where else?  At the Ruins of Thaurissan.  Once you have enough, go back to the Historian and he will offer the dungeon quest, Kharan Mighthammer.

FYI:  One thing to know about this dungeon is that because of the quest structure, we will need to essentially enter the dungeon three times in a row.  Once to kill a boss before the portal entrance, followed by a quest turn in.  Next, into the instance to kill a boss who will give us what we need to get the key to the rest of the dungeon.  This means heading out to actually get that key, though, and talking to the King of Ironforge.  Then, the final entering to get our dungeon clear achievement.

It sounds complicated, but as long as we don't ever leave the instance long enough for it to reset, it will really just mean a few more trash fights.

Finally, good things to have:  A hearth set to Ironforge (or Shatt/Dalaran), and the flight path to Burning Steppes.

Otherwise, if you just wanna show up and kill some crap, that's no problem either.  I just want to do what I can to help everyone get the most out of the run.  :)

See you all there.
