Happy 2019 Wyrmrest Accord!
Itâs a new year, full of brand new possibilities. Everyoneâs thinking about whatâs in store for the rest of the year- especially here at Firebrand Enterprises: where your future is our business!
Some time last year around this time, a certain goblin met a certain elf. Together, they started something thatâd soon grow to be greater than both of themâŠ
So wonât you join us all on the 17th of Janurary at 6pm (server time) outside the Black Market of Zandalar for a grand celebration. Weâll be not just the first year anniversary of Firebrand Enterprises, but also the enduring love between Boss Lady V and Ashagar that made it all possible! Speeches, old stories, a catered meal and plenty of toasting! Hereâs to us making it a full year!
As far whatâs on the docket for THIS weekend and the following week, weâre about to all get together for a Guild Achievement run. Something involving the mass murder of spiders and cockroaches while several of us hang out in voice chat. By our calculations, it should take about fifteen hours of work. The person who kills the last bug that gets us the achievement gets a big fat bonus in the form of 25k gold!
We recently picked up a couple of new employees whose players are new to roleplaying. Everyone give a warm Firebrand welcome to our newest employees; Noel and Thistletea! In their honor (and because many of us like getting drunk) weâll spend Firday afternoon crashing the Nameless Pub event in Ratchet for drinks and good times! After that, they and any of our other curious members are going to be receiving another in several courses regarding the basics of roleplaying in WoW. The nightâs topic will be how to run events as a GM/Narrator.
Saturday, we slow things down for some more domestic scenes. (Re)construction of the Firebrand Enterprises campus continues, with Gromdek getting their own little house. Thatâs right, we do player housing! Shortly thereafter, Irridonia will be joining whoeverâs interested for some tea time!
Sunday, at 3pm, the security wing of the company gets together for their staff meeting. The Security Branch is where our mercenaries, bodyguards, field medics, and anyone else who earns a living risking their life in a fight tends to go. Theyâll be getting caught up on old business while hashing out their branch storyline, discussing how to integrate one anotherâs personal storylines. The Commerce (merchants, salesmen, marketing, etc) and Research (alchemists, engineers, magicians, healers and the like) also have their own respective storyline events and meetings every month.
Also, I heard some obsessive folks in the guild have figured out how to get the super secret Hivemind mount. Theyâre going to be running the rest of us through the process, which is apparently really elaborate and requires stuff like collecting certain junk items and killing random creatures in a super specific order. Iâm skipping out on that⊠You have to be a total nerd to spend your time figuring this stuff out when you could be sitting around in the Valley of Hono, getting pretend drunk, and exploring the ennui that comes with being Garroshâs secret half-Mechagoblin love child like one of us cool kids.
Later on that Sunday, Twinfang is hosting her now famous late night party games! The game of the night will be Mad Libs! Itâs wholesome fun for the whole family, especially if the younger members of the family are already asleep!
On the following Monday, at 4pm, thereâs going to be a business meeting. Details have yet to be determined, but if the invite list is any indication, it should be a pretty interesting event! Itâs sure to provide plenty of fodder for discussion when we all head down to the Drunken Drummer in Zandalar later that day. Enjoy some totally smooth Zandalari rythyms. Jamâon!
Iâd mention more of what we have planned throughout the week, but this post is getting long enough as is. Just know that we have some more business meetings, a mog run, and the finale of a long running event held in conjunction with Gilded Ivory Cartel. Weâre finally going to be taking down Goldlace- one of the companyâs most bitter nemesis. In between, weâll be carrying out various smaller storylines. There was a night of gambling weeks ago and some of the participants are STILL paying off their debts in the form of various favors. Tam actually managed to get her boss drunk- learning way more than she ever wanted to, and Grim finally got to satisfy her insatiable bloodlust in the form of some bare knuckle brawling.
Tl;Dr: Come on and join us here at Firebrand Enterprises! Weâre always up to something and weâd like you to be a part of it!
