(2024-03-31) The Ghost and the Heart (S13 E8 - Blue Squad Log) — Thassarian sends Blue Squad to assist a demolitions team in trying to tunnel into Icecrown Citadel. Blue Squad falls down a hole. Brannagen reacts like a normal person. Cressidha's panic is on the inside. Fial'el keeps everyone warm like a good baby phoenix. They meet a ghost boy. Everyone works together to reassemble a Horde demolisher and no one even crashes it. A containment box seems to be a great place to keep the frozen heart of (potentially) the Lich King. ~7k words.
(2024-03-31) Knockin' on Horror's Door (S13 E8 - White Squad Log) — White Squad finishes helping the Alliance secure Aldre'thar (the Desolation Gate), and begins the effort to sabotage defenses at Corp'rethar (the Horror Gate). Thassarian is exasperated. Rae continues not to get figures of speech.

Bran is excited to hit things with a BEG STECK!! Colson has not trained his jousting or throwing javelins since Classic, but he's still earning his solid B+ average. Nobody dares to try and convince Auralind to ride a quel'dorei steed. Cressidha has no idea what she's doing, but is not one to back away from a challenge, even if rotating the lance forty-five degrees does not help. Afterwards, Dane and Auralind have a discussion. ~10k words.
(2024-03-24) The Black Knight of... Westfall? (S13 E7 - White Squad Log) — White Squad arrives at the Argent Tournament and are immediately tasked with a massive FedEx quest. I mean, investigation. They have questions about Crusader Rhydalla's methods.

Mr. Bigglesworth has done nothing wrong and survives - for now. ~7500 words.
(2024-03-13) Naxxramas: The Construct Quarter — The second order of business for the combined forces assault against Naxxramas after addressing the pest control (read: spiders) issue, is to take on the abominations barring the 7th's way through the necropolis. Valuable lessons are learned about which giant constructed abominations have poor peripheral vision (Patchwerk), and which ones have all too good peripheral vision and a giant puncture weapon to back it up (Grobbulus). 4k~ words.
(2024-03-13) Naxxramas: The Arachnid Quarter — The 7th Legion sets out to take the dread citadel of Naxxramas, beginning with the Arachnid Quarter.

(2024-03-10) The Shadow Vault (S13 E5 - Blue Squad Log) — Blue Squad assists the Ebon Blade in whittling away at the Lich King's strengths, by taking out his Super Tower Eyeball (with a gun and some eagle birds, sorry that you didn't think of it first, Tolkien), and then depriving the Scourge of both their stronger undead (with a not-at-all-sketchy controlling rod and Cressidha's unfailing charm) and would-be-elite-champions (with the cunning use of flags). Auralind takes an early day, and Dane gets to issue a decree for a duel of a vrykul thane. 9k-ish words.
(2024-03-10) It's a Figure of Speech, Rae (S13 E5 - White Squad Log) — White Squad joins the Skybreaker's assault, and takes on the Cult of the Damned at the Desolation Gate. Who names these places? They struggle with some sketchy ethics, and Rae struggles with metaphors. There is a very slim chance Ben's spit might be harvested to raise some sort of spit-abomination. It seems pretty slim, though.
(2024-03-09) Mutual Friends — After his Dalaran conversations with various members of Cobalt, Siamus Fallon returns to the fleet, and checks in with Sil Silentstep about the upcoming action.
(2024-03-07) Shared History, Common Loyalties — Following his meeting with Niksi Knockfathom in Dalaran, Siamus Fallon encounters Dane Atley. They trade some reminiscences and some opinions over drinks. They may disagree about death knights, but nobody likes Jaina Proudmoore.

Dane and Colson collect spines. This episode is sponsored by GLACIAL BAGS. 22 slots, large enough to fit five giant spines in them, rescue one from your guild bank today. ~7700 words.
(2024-03-03) The Light Does Not Abandon Its Champions (S13 E4 - White Squad Log) — White Squad is tasked with a personal favor for Highlord Tirion Fordring: the salvation of a truly noble soul. There is a lot of discussion about the Highlord's priorities and who gets deemed a truly noble soul, and maybe some speculation about Awfully Good Friends.
(2024-02-27) Legion Lass — Sintha Fallon drops in on Cobalt Company's Dalaran HQ to say thanks for, you know, doing that horrific battlefield cleanup thing and all. Brannagen keeps asking questions he regrets the answers to. Nunuzac learns about multiple meanings of 'vice' and gets to keep a hat probably. Lucy has joined an underground fighting ring. Lena just dropped in for a drink and some conversation and may be regretting that.
