BAD BUSINESS
![[Image: 35iay4w.jpg]](http://i53.tinypic.com/35iay4w.jpg)
It was a bad city. It was a dirty and dark city. It was a city with bad people who had bad hearts. It was a city where people did bad things using bad means.
It was rotten to the core.
And it was your city. It was my city. It was the city of every villain, murderer and cut-throat who ever crawled out of the fettid marshes or picked their way out of a shallow grave.
And now it has come to an end.
The Catacombs shall die. But it shall not die quietly. No. It shall end in fire and death. And in its death a new threat, a greater threat, shall rise.
Good or bad, you have an obligation now. A bad city is going under. But from its corpse new evil shall rise. Will you fight? Or will you flee?
It's time for some bad business.
The storyline is centered around the destruction of the Catacombs and the eventual establishment of a new, neutral city. Players who participate in it will have a chance in helping establish new lore for the server as well as placing their mark for future players to witness.
Events will have 6 to 8 people. Players who have not participated in a previous event from the storyline will be given preferential treatment when time comes for signing up for events. Each event will revolve around the roll system and revolve heavily around combat.
By participating in an event you agree to a character warning upon your participating character. These warnings involve maiming, disfigurement and death. If you do not wish for these to happen to your character then please do not participate.
The thread will be updated as more information is released.

Info
A new denizen makes their way into the Catacombs. Through their hubris, the end of the necropolis is set in motion.
Overview
The evening began when the mysterious Count Yolrik Rutherford accosted the current Caretaker, Kimee Frothshackle. Demanding a duel for the keys to the Catacombs, the count was surprised when Miss Frostshackle willingly relinquished her position to him. Yet his victory was shortlived when one of the Catacomb Necromancers, Odellis, challenged his position.
The battle went poorly. The Count’s many artifacts and relics failed him and, ultimately, he was begging for mercy from Odellis, shielding himself behind a small diary. The shield proved more then adequate, however, when it absorbed the spell and released a mysterious volley of purple necromantic energy. The energy destroyed the Count before wrecking all the wards and shields that protected the Catacombs.
With the roof caving in and zombies pouring out of mysterious portals ripped open by the discharged, the adventurers fled through the Catacombs before fleeing up the chute. Frost Wyrms, hords of zombies and siege weapons all daunted them.
Before they escaped, however, they were accosted by a mysterious female Lich. Declaring herself the ruler of the Catacombs, she vowed to turn her new army upon Stormwind and finish what the Lich King attempted.

With reports of the new Lich and her army, a coalition of Duskwood Night Watchmen and Stonard Grunts have combined resources and powers to destroy this enemy and protect their holdings.
Having wrestled control of the entrance chamber, they have set up camp and begun preparations.
A large piece of siege equipment has been seen being wheeled into the Catacombs. Already the coalition has sent word across Azeroth, begging for heroes and adventurers to come and aid their fight.
Overview
Our intrepid adventurers gather at the newly erected camp. After meeting with the non-plused commander they are given a single task: Take an Ironforge Tank deep into the Catacombs and destroy the Corpse Runner, a necromantic-fueled tank that has been mulching survivors and turning them into undead fodder for the new army.
Taking the new tank the heroes ventured into the depths of the Catacombs. In a vaulted hallway they are attacked by the Corpse Runner. Side by side they race through a sea of undead, the adventurers battling the Skeletal Crew: Commander Hulrok, the skeletal Argent Crusader; Siege Engineer Vilenut, the madman with a rivet gun and The Gunner, a poor soul driven to madness and welded to the back of the destructive cannon.
After battling the tide the adventurers managed to destroy the tank. Yet, with their own tank crippled, they are left stranded deep in the Catacombs and surrounded by a sea of undead.
Through a team effort they manage to dispatch the horde long enough to make their escape. T
They were heralded as 'just doing their job' and given a pittance by the commander, who promptly went back to smoking a dubious cigar.
As the event ended a group of robed men were seen carting off a body from the Catacombs.

After the disaster at the Catacombs a new coalition of Darkshire watchmen and Stonard orcs have banded their resources together. Under the leadership of a powerful Argent crusader, they have headed to Northrend to put a stop to the Lich and her plans before they reach fruition.
The first step? Strike down the enemy's power source: A well of souls.
Overview
After slaughtering their way through the harbor village the adventurers came upon the inn. Within they found the well of souls, a brazier containing the trapped memories of the town's dead inhabitants. Before they could break it, however, the adventurers tripped a safety mechanism, trapping their own minds within the brazier. Within they had to relive the last day before the island fell.
Together the adventurers defeated a Soul Demon and escaped, returning back to their own reality. After destroying the brazier, the Lich's control over the town was lifted and supplies and soldiers began to move inland.
