In the last two weeks we have defeated the Stygian Dragon, Medusa, the Slasher of Veils, and nearly everything else SA has to offer. We've even managed to get a 120 mysticism scroll and several other power scrolls for the new skills.

Tonight at 7 p.m. ET there will be a HoC chat via Stratics, and there is also an in-game event on Chesapeake tonight at 8 p.m. ET, at the West Britain Counselor's Hall. This event will extend into tomorrow, the "Missing Mage Quest," also at 8, then on Friday, October 2nd, there will be a Treasure Hunt Competition.

Also, for members and alliance, be sure to check out the Events page for this Friday's new event!

Hope you are all enjoying SA!

Last Thursday the guild battled Ilhenir the Stained in Bedlam

       The Joining page has been updated with a brief history of the guild, how [SHE] came about and how [SHOT] came about. The Council page has also been updated to reflect the current administration.

Also, be sure to check out the Auction's upcoming 5th birthday!

       GM Vic has appointed two SHE members to Council positions to fill vacancies left by prior Council members. Elected are Shelra and Makodopest, both of whom have contributed to the guild over the years. You know Shelra from her auction duties and IDOCing ;), and Mak from his PvP, and Oceania lingo ;P. Congrats to both!

       Moonglow has been sent back in time, or back to the future, or something. The result is a bunch of nasties on the other side of a portal near Moonglow Inn and Stable. They say demons will come next. Who knows though. This new spawn has a few interesting things to note. The winged warriors give "plane shields" and "plane swords," blue hued items that are always spellchanneling -0, and sometimes have other mods. The dark wisps give threads of fate and life, in three different angles (long white things). The Shadowlords give Cloaks of Corruption, which, from what I can tell, reduce HP/Stam/Mana, with not lasting benefits. Could this be a factions tie in? Hmm.

The most anticipated content of the new year: BOD changes, "super" dragons, "stuffy" statuettes, and ingredients for chocolatering. And as if that wasn't enough, an impromptu Ilsh Vermin! A Valentine's Day long to be remembered. How long before Yew Gate reeks of ninjitsu tamers? How soon before everyone has an extra dexxer or two? Whatever flaws these recent changes might bring, the interest of new toys will overcome. Likewise, please mark your calendars for February 22nd, 2008. Have you ever heard the expression, fighting fire with fire? Get your dragon breath ready.

       Through January, we saw a fair share of PvP and PvM, artifacts, powerscrolls, and super-tight crossbows. Three 120 mage scrolls later, we're in February, but I wanted to share a moment as we look back through some of our January hunts.

We raided, and got raided, over January. Here's one from when CKS raided us at a Barracoon. They raided just after the 'Coon dropped, and we defeated their raid until we could no longer find them in the area.


Then we split the loot up at Del.


In Trammel, we did a ton of peerless. Lady M, a favorite of Zar, earned us crimmies, hair dyes, and the all-popular taint.


Then we stepped it up a notch, with a week featuring Merkatus and the Shimmering Effusion as headliners. Merkatus was rough as always, but due to the teamwork of Zabrina, Dak, and Mak, we were up again in no time to defeat the spawn.


We killed Mr. Shimmer three times a few days later in the week, with few troubles outside of a nasty blob or two. The more we go through Prism, the easier it seems.


And at the Dread Horn last Tuesday, member Church received the Dread Horn's Revenge, a special kryss item only found on the Dread Horn. Here is a picture of Demon luring to us as we work from the drop zone.



As we enter February, may you all be witness to the funny remarks Fierro makes about the noobs at Yew Gate =P. Long live the Zerge.

       The alliance between SHOT and SW@T is now extended between all of our guilds, allowing for unrivaled communication between our alliance members. As a result, we are fighting more and bringing back more to SHE. Make sure to sign on Monday, we have a long roll ahead ;).
