    The ghostly creature hovered in the air, quietly chewing on a chocolate chip cookie. Her iridescent wings flapped in slow, lazy arcs. "And you don't know where you got her?" Lolegolas asked. "No clue at all?" "None," Throgg confirmed. "I just opened up my pet bag and poof. There she was. She's pretty cute, though. In an adorable way, I mean." Lolegolas nodded. "So, she's a mystery. Why is she unborn?" "It turns out her people don't consider you really born until you kill a worthy target," Throgg said. "That's kind of harsh," Lolegolas said. "Does she fight well?" "Incredibly well," Throgg said. "That's why I gave her a cookie. She totally decimated my opponent a few moments ago. She likes cookies." Item Note: The Unborn Val'kyr is shrouded in mystery; we're not quite sure where you can get it yet. While Northrend is an obvious component, the details are still vague. Stay tuned for more details!

    "Throgg, we're supposed to be finding your dog." "Our dog." "Your dog," Lolegolas countered. "What are you doing in there? We're in a hurry." "It's an outhouse," Throgg replied from behind the wooden door. "It's the Throne of Thunder. What do you think I'm doing?" "Forging Deep Thunder," Lolegolas said. "Reborn." "Really, little elf?" Throgg sighed. "I've dealt with your puns for years. At this point, I'm allowed more than a few in vengeance." "Doesn't matter. Can't make that until we get to the Lightning Forge." "Thunder & Lightning," the blood elf commented idly. "I get it. It's like a theme. Maybe we can get a flame decal up the side of something to help illustrate the awesomeness." "Why not?" Throgg asked. The outhouse shook a little. "You'd look good with mullet." "I'd rather re-elect Garrosh." The outhouse only thundered in response. Item Note: Finally, it's the return of that old standby of overpowered Arenas... Deep Thunder. I kept wondering when it would make its comeback.

    Wandering through the isles of Pandaria, Throgg and Lolegolas are making a slow but inevitable trip toward Miranda. But for now, we'll enjoy some shock, awww, and general fun with their journey. The druid jogged down the hill to catch up with the dyanamic duo. He stopped short when he saw the diminutive creature walking beside them. It looked like a pug or maybe a chihuahua, except for the rich mane around its head. "Wait. What is that ... thing?" the worgen asked. "Collector's Edition pet," Lolegolas said nonchalantly. "Isn't it fabulous? I love it." "Since you disappeared, Spot, we needed a new puppy," Throgg answered. "This guy seemed apt. It's a quilen pup." "It needs a shave," the druid said. "It's got a fierce neckbeard going on. A few more days of growth, and it'll be ready for Reddit." "What's Reddit?" Throgg asked. "It's a place that really loves beards," the druid answered. "I think the dwarves invented it." Somewhere in the distance, trapped within her cage, Miranda shrieked something about a fourth wall. That was just fine, since the boy would have ignored her anyway.

    When last we left our heroes, they were derailed by Diablo III. Because that certainly hasn't happened to anyone else. Unfortunately, their erstwhile trip to Sanctuary means Miranda remains in captivity. "Your friends are taking a long time to mount a rescue," the shadowy man said. "I expected them by now." "This is going to start feeling like filler," Miranda muttered to her raven. "I'm hungry. What've you got to eat?" The man returned to Miranda's cage, sliding a bowl under the door. "I've made something very good for you. Black Pepper Steak and Shrimp." "Black Pepper Steak? Really? We're going there? That's how this is going to be?" "Black Pepper Steak is awfully good, young lady," the man said. "The amount of health and mana you gain from it is mindblowing compared to your feeble, contemporary food." Miranda chewed slowly. "Wow, yeah, it really is, isn't it? So, why aren't you Pandaren? That seems like the most likely villain to advance the st... range events we've been suffering." "I'm an old friend," the man answered. He pursed his lips for a moment. "I'm surprised you haven't escaped." "How do you know I haven't? You could be looking at an illusion right now or a doppleganger. You have no way of knowing." "Hm. That would explain why no rescue has appeared. If you'll pardon me, I need to check on things." When the man had left, Miranda used to the chopsticks to continue picking the lock. Item Notes: Pepper steak, y'all. So good. I've been craving it all week, now.

  • Phat Loot Phriday: Mechano-Hog

    As we now transition to a new chapter of the story, the narrator will take a moment and indulge in literary thievery -- I mean, literary homage. Well, not really literary, since I'm stealing from a different medium, but I've always liked the idea -- and shut up and read it already, OK? In patch 3.0.1, Blizzard added a new vehicle to Azeroth. While millions of mounts already existed in the game, this new mount was something special. It was a hog. A motorcycle. No sooner had the Mechano-Hog become a reality in the game than thousands of engineers started building them. No individual Mechano-Hog was that big a deal, really. Except for one. This Mechano-Hog was built by a warlock engineer named Demonalisa. Struggling to make money on a roleplay server, Demonalisa spent most of his time farming materials. That plan worked fairly well for him until he ran afoul of the gem market. The Great Gem Crash of 2010 cost Demonalisa his savings, and he was forced to sell off the Mechano-Hog. In late 2010, the Mechano-Hog was purchased for Lolegolas by a stalwart orc named Throgg. Throgg felt the two-seater Mechano-Hog would be a great benefit to them in the Battlegrounds. After all, two coordinated fighters doing battle together can very easily turn the tide of victory. It turned out Lolegolas just liked making "vroom" sounds while doing laps of Dalaran. This Mechano-Hog had the same basic abilities of all the others, but none of that is what's important. What's important are the details like the chewing gum Throgg used to glue the license plate down. Or the "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" bumper sticker Lolegolas ironically slapped across a fender. Or the extra growler racks Throgg installed to prepare for their trip to Pandaria. As Lolegolas started the engine and Throgg plopped into the passenger car, neither of them could know how important that Mechano-Hog would be. Item notes The Mechano-Hog and Mekgineer's Chopper are both still in the game and clearly the most popular ground mounts available by 56%. Source: I made that number up.

    When we last left our heroes, Throgg was complaining about Garrosh, essentially proving his membership in the Horde ... or, alternatively, proving his membership in the Alliance. Hatred of Garrosh is a unifying force in Azeroth, similar to love of Legos in the real world. The four rode into Tirisfal without much fanfare. Lolegolas was careful to guide the party away from the dirt road, staying out of sight from the undead guards who stalked the kingdom's highway. Throgg grew increasingly quiet. "I've not smelled Abercrombie," the Gilnean said quietly. "Not a whiff of a food court, Hot Topic, or Cinnabon within miles." Miranda stared at the druid hard for a moment. "You stealing my gig, Spot?" "My name is not Spot," the Gilnean replied absently. "We'll have to go into Undercity beneath Lordaeron." He frowned, and his jaw clenched. "Hate that place." Lolegolas clapped the Gilnean on the shoulder, speaking quietly. "If it helps at all, we do, too. No one likes reminders of bad days." "This is very touching, but let's keep to business. We'll need to take the sewer exit in," Miranda said. "We could maybe hitch a ride with one of the inevitable Alliance raids, but I think we're better off sneaking in. Ride flying mounts to stick near to the ceiling, maybe, until we get close to Sylvanas." "And then we all die horribly?" Lolegolas said. "We can accomplish that plan anywhere, we don't have to go into Undercity to do it."

    When last we left our valiant heroes, Throgg was making bad jokes. As a result, we'll be taking a slightly more serious approach this week and give those puns a chance to come off cooldown. Also, SOPA bad. The Gilnean and Miranda both slept in their respective tents. Lolegolas chalked it up to their having been so busy getting the party safely through the dwarf lands. He tossed another chunk of wood into the campfire. "I have something for you," Throgg said. "Got it a while back." Lolegolas looked across the campfire at his orc friend. The two had enjoyed dozens of adventures in the last year. He couldn't escape the pressing feeling that it had to end. The doubt plagued him throughout Arathi. Throgg pulled a long, scaled belt from his sack. The orc stared at it for a moment and tossed it across the distance between them. "Belt of the Beloved Companion. I can't use it, thought you could." Lolegolas ran his hands along the belt. "This is a magnificent item. Room for red gems, lots of enchantments that benefit hunters." Lolegolas opened his mouth to continue but stopped. "Might need it," Throgg said quietly. "If Abercrombie is with Sylvanas, Undercity will be hard to escape alive."

    Ashenvale creaked as impossibly large trees swayed in the afternoon breeze. The Worgen druid glanced appreciatively at the forest as he rejoined Throgg and Lolegolas. "The innkeep was surprisingly pudgy for a Night Elf," the druid said. "But he did say a pair of Tauren passed through here recently. He didn't talk to them much, but he did have something interesting to say." Throgg had started packing his kodo as soon as the druid had started talking. "Useful? Someplace to go?" "Not exactly," the druid said. He held out a small piece of paper to Lolegolas. The Blood Elf took the paper and grunted. "I see," the Elf said. "A Brewfest voucher. They were turned away from the Orc's party and are on their way to Ironforge to participate." "The Tauren claimed they wanted to join the Beer of the Month Club," the druid explained. "Thing is, the Dwarves won't be any more interested in the Grimtotem than the Orcs. No Dwarf is going to mail a Grimtotem an interesting beer each month. It'd be sacrilege, worse than worshipping the Old Gods." Throgg leaped into his saddle. "Lying. The Grimtotem were using it as a cover story for why they're chasing the girl through Elf lands. We have a trail we can follow. It's time to ride like the win, fellows." %Gallery-96786%

    Throgg turned over the Necklace of Fetishes in his hand. When he'd explained more about the object, the Gilnean quickly waved his hands in the air frantically. "I don't need to know," the druid claimed. Now, though, Lolegolas stood in the middle of the room, carefully examining his bullets. "These are all fine," the Blood Elf said. "I'm a little surprised, actually, considering how long I was out of action. I should be ready to go with you to the Firelands." Throgg set the amulet down on a table. "Not going to fire land. Something we need to do first." Lolegolas cocked his head to the side and waited expectantly. The Gilnean simply drank his tea. "At the Grimtotems," Throgg said. "There was a little girl. Human. I need to know what happened to her. Did you see her?" The druid nodded slowly. "I remember her. I was ... distracted, and lost track of her. I tried looking about the camp, but had no luck." "We find her," Throgg said. "Get vengeance if we must. Then Firelands. Deal?" Lolegolas dropped the bullets into his ammo pouch. "Deal. We find the girl." %Gallery-96786%

    Throgg slid the plate boots onto his feet with a triumphant jerk. "They fit well." Lolegolas nodded in agreement before taking another sip of tea. His hands were shaking visibly, and the tea threatened to slosh over the side. "We can ignore the reflective top and assume you won't be tucking your shoes under anyone's skirts." "Mirrored Boots good for tanks," Throgg said, ignoring the jibe. "Very masterful. I didn't even need to loot them from a dead monster. Locally made by craftsmen." Lolegolas started to agree but was interrupted by wracking coughs. He covered his mouth with a fist and spat flecks of blood. He waved away the orc. "It's nothing." "Withdrawal," Throgg stated simply. "You shouldn't have done it." The orc crossed the room and laid a hand on the blood elf's shoulder. "Going to find ale house, bring back beer. We'll spend a few nights here, let you rest." "I'll be fine," Lolegolas claimed, making motions to stand up. "Rest quietly," Throgg said, "or I'll knock you to sleep. Lay down. I'll be right back." %Gallery-96786%

    Throgg and the druid sat around a campfire. Turkey roasted on a spit, and the worgen sipped quietly from his tea cup. "I will give this much to your Warchief," the druid said, flipping a piece of cloth in his hands. "The Hood of Disgrace will be an elegant message." "It's not going to go well," Throgg said. He stabbed the ground aimlessly with his knife. "The Grimtotem will see this message and make a new message out of me. Magatha will not let this stand. They will wish to punish me." "Us," the druid said. "Me," Throgg said with an unmistakable tone of finality. "And Garrosh gave you no indication about why? What could have happened to bring orc and tauren relationships this far?" "I can't be sure," Throgg responded. "But I do not think that this is all tauren. I think this is just Grimtotem. Well. If this is how it is it to be, I will kill many Grimtotem before I die." Hood of Disgrace Type: Cloth Head Armor: 90 Stamina: 14 Intellect: 9 How to get it: Complete the Grimtotem chiefs quest line in Thousand Needles. How to get rid of it: It sells for some silver. Or, alternatively, you hand it to a Grimtotem, who is highly likely to be unhappy with you.

    Throgg sat waiting in Orgrimmar. It had been a long time since the big orc had visited the capital city of his people, so he was understandably nervous. The druid reclined on the floor. A few orcs had commented on Throgg's "kitty," but they all seemed to take the feline at face value. "Pardon, friend," Throgg said to a nearby officer. "Any idea how long it will be? I don't mean to rush, but I have this friend I left behind ... " "LOK'TAR!" the orc roared in response. "AKA MA'BLOOD AND GLORY!" Throgg blinked in response and looked back down at his companion. "I think I know why Garrosh want to see me. Did you know I wield Gorehowl?" For his part, the druid looked at Throgg with an expression that could be interpreted as something between I don't care, I will destroy all your furnishings and Do continue, I would love to hear about your loot. Throgg chose the latter interpretation. "I got it from this demon in Kirzhan ... Karastan ... a wizard's tower," Throgg said. "Replaced it in Northrend, but still. I use it for cucumbers and sausage, now. Methinks Garrosh is upset about that." The door to the waiting room blew open, and Garrosh's secretary appeared. "LOK'TAR LOK OGAR LOK'TAR," the orc explained. "BLOOD AND ASHES AND GLORY. FOR THE HORDE!" "That means Garrosh is ready to see me now," Throgg translated for the worgen-kitty. "Also, they'd like to know if you want some milk. I'll tell them no."

    The worgen was clearly drunk, but at least it seemed to be sleeping soundly. "And you say, this was the puppy you had in mind?" Lolegolas asked. The blood elf had the urge to poke the sleeping werewolf with a stick, but he fought it down without much trouble. "Let me be clear here, though. Did you strap the tusks on him, or did he come that way?" "He was walking out of that practically new troll area," Throgg said. "There is no Zul, only Aman. Or something like that." Lolegolas pushed a slender hand through his hair. "While I salute your mastery of pop culture references, don't you think raising a worgen would be a lot of work? From the look of that headpiece, this druid's clearly feral. We don't have much room in our flat." "He did seem pretty agile," Throgg answered. "I just figured since he was wearing a troll-themed Savager's Mask, he might be a little more orc-friendly. And it's so macho-sounding!" "What? I don't even ... " Lolegolas started, but he was quickly interrupted. "Rawr!" Throgg growled, pantomiming claws in the air. "I'm so savage. Rawr!" "You do understand you're throwing our whole role assignments into confusion," Lolegolas said. "Who's the tank? Maybe if we tame him, he'll heal. Then we can have a proper instance group."

    "Oh my god, Throgg," Lolegolas gasped. "What have you done to yourself?" "It's me hat! It is, specifically, Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat!" the ex-orc exclaimed. The orc had changed. Where once stood a powerful, green example of the Horde now swaggered a chest-high pirate gnome. "I'm a sword-swinging gnave! A scoundrel of epic proportions! Ready to raid the gnomeland and leave gno man standing!" Lolegolas sighed, and sat down in the middle of the street. "I'm going gnowhere until you go back to normal." Burgy Blackheart's Handsome Hat Type: Head Equip: Succumb to the curse of Burgy Blackheart. How to get it: It drops from Burgy Blackheart himself, Captain of Diane's Fancy, in Shimmering Expanse. Burgy's a rare spawn, though, so it'll take some careful camping to get it. How to get rid of it: We're not quite sure what it disenchants into or even if it sells. No one's done so yet that we know of. Who'd want to give up such an awesome item?

You're very impressive, and this is a very impressive cloak." "Throgg, look at it," Lolegolas said, waving a dismissive hand at the cape in question. "There's a reason it's called the Haunt of Flies. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it. I must have been drawn in by its critical strike rating and impressive haste." "Not to mention," Throgg said, "the impressive intelligence and stamina boost it gives you." Lolegolas cocked an eye at his friends. "How very exposition-like of you. Thank you." "I've got to haunt it to you," Throgg joked. "Time flies when you're having fun!"

    "Elune," Throgg muttered. "I've never prayed you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died." "Throgg," Lolegolas interrupted. "Seriously, it's just cookies. They're not going to kill you." "All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Elune ... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!" Throgg roared and slammed Cookie's Tenderizer down among the gingerbread men. His massive biceps flexed as he moved the rolling pin back and forth, flattening the poorly shaped treats back into their composite dough. "I suppose we can redo them," Lolegolas sighed. Cookie's Tenderizer (heroic) Type: One-Handed Mace Damage: 802-1,491 (409.6 damage per second) Speed: 2.80 Strength: 129 Stamina: 194 Equip: Increases your hit rating by 86 (0.72% @ L85) Equip: Increases your mastery rating by 86 (0.48 @ L85) How to get it: The Tenderizer drops from Captain Cookie, the penultimate boss in heroic Deadmines.

    "I never figured you for the type to pay Alimony," Lolegolas sighed. He propped his jaw up on his fist as he wistfully watched his orc friend. "I'm kind of hurt you never told me." "Not like that," Throgg countered. The orc waved a meaty hand in denial. "It's from pirate named Tony Two-Tusk. He's a troll." "I was going to go out on a limb and guess that," the fair-haired blood elf replied. "So you're paying alimony to a troll?" "No!" Throgg exclaimed. He lifted the sword proudly. Lolegolas had to admit it looked like a painful weapon. "Alimony for Tony's wife. Very complicated, involves ghosts and such. Make Throgg glad he's a bachelor for life." "That explains the pizza boxes and Twilight obsession, I suppose," Lolegolas grinned. "And you've enjoyed the weapon so far?" "It pretty good for keeping aggro," Throgg admitted. Alimony One-Handed Sword Damage: 43 - 82 Speed: 2.60 DPS: 24.1 damage per second 4 Strength 5 Stamina Flavor text: "Ouch. Good for generating aggro."

    "Throgg, you better sit down," Lolegolas said quietly. The blood elf was draped in voluminous velour robes tied with a thick silk belt. "I have something for you." The orc looked up at his well-coiffed friend and took a seat on a bench. "What is that?" "Your father's sabre," the blood elf solemnly. "Your father wanted you to have it, but your mother wouldn't allow it. Something about poking your eye out and following old Lolegolas off to The Burning Crusade." The orc took the sword in his hand. It was light. It was very light. It was definitely a Very Light Sabre. "It's a very light sabre," Lolegolas confirmed. "It is much like the weapon of an argent knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a fireball; an elegant weapon for a more civilized expansion. For over a thousand runs, the argent knights have been seeking the baron's mount." "I'm still killing the murloc," Throgg said. Name Very Light Sabre Attributes 7 - 11 Damage, Speed: 3.30 2.7 damage per second 1 Strength How to get it It's a quest item in Cataclysm.

    "Wow," Lolegolas said. "Another sword, huh?" Throgg looked up from where he'd been busily grooming his monobrow with his tongue. "What you mean, little belfling?" "You have a different sword again," Lolegolas said. He tossed his flowing locks over his shoulder, revealing the glittering perfection of his chest. "You just had Kliklak's and now ... this." "Ah, yes," Throgg grunted. "It is sword with Mastery on it, as stat. Since it no longer part of talents, I thought it must be very important to have on sword. The Poisonfire Greatsword has much Mastery! Make Throgg strong!" "Hm, of course," Lolegolas said. "I will say that this sword seems rather magnificent. It appeals to my more savage aesthetic. It's all rough and course and manly." "Right," Throgg said. "I got it for infiltrating a camp in the beta. Throgg is very clever, and was given the Poisonfire Greatsword as a reward." "Do you remember anything about the lore of the quest?" Lolegolas asked. The roleplayer in him was coming out, and the blood elf was getting very excited. Throgg's unibrow furrowed in confusion. "Lore? What? " "You know," the blonde replied. "The lore. The story." "Story is," Throgg answered with finality, "I got this awesome sword."
