The Raven Council

On the evening of May 2nd the guild gathered in Ironforge for the long awaited social event Quiz Race 2020, in a game where the guild members were sent between different locations of the world to show off their best Lore-knowledge.



Each of the locations had different restrictions on what was allowed when moving there, but since not everyone know where Fenris Isle or Clan Watch is located, or where the Game Master would be hiding, it ended up being a great competition.



In each location the participants were given a lore question which they did their best to answer, though some of the guild members have a quite wider imagination than the story writers themselves. After the race concluded on the Isle of Giants, awards were given to the top 3:





Winner: Rhaella

Second: Dohgar

Third: Krekandus





Bonus transmog competition split decision winners: Lamorak, Carbulo, Sherelia



Thanks everyone for an awesome evening and here comes a few screenshots Ildramir took of the participants during the race while keeping sure they weren't cheating









The Race is off! From Ironforge to Thelsamar!





Manatea in the lead.





"You can follow the road, or take shortcuts if you dare to".





After Thelsamar the players had to find an old Death Knight walking around Fenris Isle in Silverpine Forest.





Very even between Carbulo and Lamorak on the way to Temple of Karabor.





Lamorak snatched a second place on this route as Carbulo went searching for the game master in the gardens.





Next they were sent to find an elf over at Grizzlemaw. Quite a huge place and it started getting stressful down the hole.





Rhaella came out on top, by finding the elf on top of the broken tree in Grizzlemaw.





Next was the Westfall Lighthouse. Manatea and Rhaella still getting good scores between each location.





The Game master sure had a hard time explaining the eagerly waiting racers to stay on land before getting instructions on where to go next.





Carbulo sending out a wave to all the fans cheering for him around the world.





Trok finally had a route where he could make good use of his Demon Hunter wings and managed to come in 2nd on the way to Nesingwary Expedition in Stranglethorn Vale.





The second to last location was over in old Nagrand, but things were getting tricky at the end as not a whole lot of people remembered where Clan Watch was located. But pretty much everyone knew the answer to the lore question "Which Orc Clans is Nagrand home to?".





After reaching the goal destination on Isle of Giants, the participants lined up for the transmog competition. The evenings theme were "Adventurer" Ildramir, Jimmble and Jingles are inspecting the participants.





Top three are showing off their new mount rewards in this group shot.



Thanks for an awesome evening everyone. Post more of your own screenshots in the comments below

Football boss down!







To show how great we are, the raid team (filled with skilfull and good-looking players (and Carbulo)) decided to move from Skitra to the Football boss (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Dark Inquisitor Xanesh). And it was tough going, there's no denying that. But we eventually prevailed and... apparently set Azshara free again... Huh. Well, I'm sure that won't come back to haunt us later. All good!

After "Wrathion" we turned our attention on Prophet Skitra.



And one-shot him.





Moving swiftly on to Maud Ma'ut we did need a few tries to figure out the way to do it... but eventually got him down on the second day.







Two bosses in one lockout! Not too shabby! Now it's time for the team to learn to play football!

The Raven Council has returned to mythics!







But sadly "Wrathion" reverted to a much smaller form very fast so it's kind of hidden behind our beautiful team!



Next up: Skitra!

The raid team scaled things down in Eternal Palace. The state of the game itself didn't help recruitment and a slight shortage of personel meant that the main objective in this tier was to get Ahead of the Curve and have fun together (before and after that).

Without a doubt we succeeded at these goals with ease.



Now a new tier is fast approaching and we're starting preparations for a new raid.

The goals will be similiar this turn around: to get Curve and fill out the roster so that we can see how far in Mythic we can get. And to have fun while doing it.
