Victim Log

[Vrakrosh]

Victim number one: Demitassie.

Race? Kaldorei (Night Elf).
Specialization? Druid.
Character? Extremely outgoing, social, affectionate, but also impulsive, naive, and above all else, annoying me. Her character can be likened to a young human girl, as it is hard to judge the age of a Kaldorei upon first glance.

Reason for Crafting? She was irritating me, and I was rather bored this evening. She seemed like the type to easily fall prey to my suggestions.

Log of Crafting:

Pig n' Whistle. She was there speaking to several other tavern-goers. I stayed at a nearby table to observe. She was having trouble pronouncing a Gilnean slang word. I believe it was "Gabbing". As the crowd dispersed a bit from her, I made my move. I offered to teach her languages so then she would not embarrass herself in front of many others again.

As I expected, she quickly trusted my word and was enthusiastic for the idea, especially the idea of "PictureSpeak". I have no idea what PictureSpeak is, but I wasn't about to say that to her! The number one thing, is to appear trustworthy to my dim-witted Alliance hosts.

I asked her to follow me to my classroom that did not exist, and she did so. We flew to the outskirts of Stormwind, where an abandoned Twilight altar was located. In the foggy area, I placed a fake tome of languages on the altar, which the foolish Druid quickly took notice of. As she looked through the tome, I applied blunt trauma to the back of her head. Enough force to knock her out: Killing my victims would defeat the purpose! I am no weak necromancer. Manipulating the living is far more delicate and rewarding.

I applied the rune I now call, "Cat hat deine Zunge". By manipulating the way the Druid's power flows through her body, I can force her to take shapes that she would prefer not to be in. Knowing that she couldn't talk, let alone be nearly as affectionate, as a feral cat, that is what I forced her to be.

Oh, how glorious it was to watch her hiss and growl at tavern-goers, hiding under the stairs of the Pig!! Unable to speak of her plight, or how it even happened! It was my first Runecrafting dabbling with druids, and it was a success!

Granted, it's not a very secretive rune. One will eventually find the marks on the back of her neck and remove the magic from them. If so, may it be a lesson well learned for her. I will not be so kind the next time around.

Victim number two: Iron-Claw

Race? Worgen.
Specialization? Unknown. He seemed feral, so he may of been a Druid.
Character? Extremely aggressive and quick to anger, but also had a calmer, very curious side. An interesting one, but also a very unstable one. Also impulsive, as I will record here.

Reason for Crafting? I wanted to see if it could be done. The runes made sense, the magic made sense...I just needed something to test it on. What better than a wild Worgen with such a vain wish?

Log of Crafting:

This will be a log of a two night event.

Night one: Blue Recluse. I overheard a discussion between Iron-Claw and a "lich", so called. I say so called because I felt no power from him, nor do I think I should take serious a lich who PUBLICLY states he's a lich. Seems somewhat counterproductive.

Back on topic, Iron-Claw was asking plenty of questions about the "lich", seemingly wanting to become one. Which is of course silly, as only the strongest of spellcasters, and the most devoted to the Scourge cause were promoted through death to become a lich. Kel Thuzad started as a mere mage of Dalaran, and ended up controlling the once-formidable Naxxramus. I doubt a Worgen with any magical prowess would be able to do the same thing.

The "lich" seemed reluctant to answer his questions, particularly on how to become a lich. Again, seems relatively weak. So, I spoke in, offering the worgen my services. He spoke of wanting immortality, or rather, wanting to reverse time. He wanted to have a younger, more fit body. He didn't state his reasons, but I didn't need them.

All I knew was that this was a fantastic opportunity to have a willing victim! Those don't come around very often. Of course, I had to make preparations. I told him to meet me in a secluded area tomorrow.

Night two: Blue Recluse. I silently beckoned him from the tavern-going crowd and brought him to an isolated garden. The garden of his soon to be new youth! I explained to him the procedure, and gave him one of my very own "Muddlemind" elixirs. These potions cause the imbiber to instantly fall into a deep sleep, along with suffering short-term memory loss. I have to keep my trade hidden for the moment, after all.

I do not support the vain attempt of seeking immortality. While I have eventually embraced the opportunities it has granted me, my ill-gained immortality was not wanted. Seeing how he never gave me a reason for it, I figured I will grant him his desire...with a twist.

The magics I placed upon him will effectively reverse the flow of time for his body. Indefinitely. He will begin to grow younger and younger, until he begins to realize that he is starting to become too young. Haha, the glory! He will soon become an infant, or worse, fade out of existence entirely, never being born!

As with my last test, it's unlikely it will go unnoticed. Iron-Claw has friends, and they will likely notice the drastic changes. As I said, mere experimentation was my motive for this! If I wished to make it impossible to remove, I would of been much more discreet! As it is, it'll give me a good bit of enjoyment to watch his shock over time.

Be careful what you wish for! It may come true...in spades.

Victim number three: Ranavos

Race? Human/Undead.
Specialization? Lich, but for simplicity's sake I will just say Mage.
Character? Reluctant to take part in combat, seems beaten down and depressed. As a Lich, has a glaring weakness to the Light and healing magics.

Reason for Crafting? In all honesty, I felt pity for the bastard. He calls himself a lich, yet always gets pushed down by mere mortals of all races.

Log of Crafting:

Spans multiple times of day.

Afternoon: Outside the Valley of Kings. Ranavos was forced into a duel with a Paladin. Ranavos seemed very unwilling, and it quickly showed why: He stood absolutely no chance against the Paladin. He may as well been wielding a lollipop. This went on for some time, and it seems that he grew deeper into depression every time.

I took the time to whisper him of my services. He seemed interested once I put them in a context that he could understand: The ability to fight those who bully and push him, and be able to make a name for himself! Ah, I can only imagine the surprise on his oppressor's faces once this subdued lich decides to bite back...

Evening: Blue Recluse. Ranavos was there, and he wanted to hear more, as I thought he would. Taking him to my secret garden, I explained to him the usual, but I came across a few difficulties that required different procedures. Some of them risky.

As a lich, he could not drink my Muddlemind Elixir, meaning my usual methods would be ineffective. Magic does the same thing, however. I'll just have to engrave an extra rune. More importantly, I was forced to reveal my face, which would make clear just who was responsible for the rune on the wild cat running around wildly.

Ah, risks, how I hate taking them. I had him in suspended animation for a very limited time. I had no other choice but to use the runes I had on me. I can't draw too much magic from them, or else I may find myself in a lot of pain...ugh.

However, it's all worth the risk when you can cause chaos like this! I engraved Ranavos's skull with an interesting rune. As he suffers from the Light and from healing spells, his own spells will increase in power. To compliment this, unbeknown to him, he will also grow in aggression, and will be more likely to commit random acts of violence, as well as lash out at innocent bystanders.

Other than the initial risk of application, this crafting is very low risk. As a lich, he is under an illusion most of the time, and that will hide the rune entirely. Unless someone confronted him in his true form, there is no way the rune will show! How glorious.

I wonder how long it'll be before the "reserved" lich finally starts showing the people of Stormwind what a lich is known for...

This entry is a bit of a tangent from the usual. I myself did not craft any victims, but instead one who I have hired to do the task did so.


Subject: Miss Estella

I met Miss Estella a week ago. I was looking for a helping hand in my desire to perfect my art, and she seemed quite enthusiastic in the idea. I gave her three tomes, each containing a rune, for her to carve into victims, and a enchanted knife to help guide her potentially unskilled hand. I offered her a payment and said if she charges for her "tattoo service", she can keep any money she makes. She seemed more interested in cutting into people, however.

Last night, I was happy to see that she was still going about. She confronted two Kaldorei chatting in the corner of the Blue Recluse, a male and a female. The male refused the service, but the female accepted. They made plans to meet somewhere in the Mage District as soon as they were done with their conversation.

Stupid girl. The first thing you do when you are trying to isolate a victim is ISOLATE THE VICTIM. Not let their friend follow them and take witness on what you are about to do!

She used one of my Muddlemind Elixirs on the girl, leaving the male to question Miss Estella before pushing his head into a wall. Fortunately for her, I was there with another Muddlemind Elixir to erase the memories of the male Kaldorei, and gave a very firm, but friendly reminder to Miss Estella that this operation is very, very sensitive, and that it would be a horrible shame if she were to mess up like this again.

By "horrible shame", I mean I will use her as a runecrafting victim and be very pleased with the results.

In her credit, she applied the runes perfectly. The female was slowly losing her memories over time while the male was under the illusion of having his body torn asunder, and the pain to match. They were quickly found by a Dwarf and a Human and escorted to the Cathedral. I do not know if they were able to remove the runes or not-it'd be a better idea to find a warlock or a mage-but I digress. In this aspect, she did well.

She has potential. This is why I gave her another chance. And only once will I do this.

Not that it would of mattered anyway. She doesn't know my name, my facial appearance, and those tomes cannot be traced to me. If anything, she will be the one to cover my fall of grace, merely for me to rise again.

I suppose I'll keep her around, if only for that purpose.

Victim number four: Sadiabla

Race? Worgen.
Specialization? Druid.
Character? Young and the personality to match. Very friendly, very social, very easily manipulated with the right words. She is also a powerful leader, with many, many, many allies and friends to either help her, or obey her every word.

Reason for Crafting? It is the perfect chance for chaos! She is a very capable leader, and her calls to aggression will be answered by some of her comrades.

Log of Crafting:

Pig n' Whistle. the small Worgen was running playfully around the tavern. It was a bit annoying, but then she said something that interested me: "Sadiabla: Little Demon!"

So I started talking to her, and managed to pique her interest in my personal garden, which does exist. I continued filling her head with silly ideas and faked enthuasim until I managed to convince her to follow me to said garden. This was much easier than I thought it'd be...

Once there, she planted a few mushrooms, and then I bought up the idea of her having a drink. I've seen that her favorite drink was Orange Juice, so I brought some and mixed them with my Muddlemind Elixir. The effect was just the same, and she fell asleep soon after.

I crafted her with a rune that will keep her same happy personality intact, but she would be infinitely more hostile and aggressive, seeking to kill and destroy! Now she is the living embodiment of a "little demon"! Gyahahahaha! I can't wait to see the chaos she causes!

The downside to this, as easy as it was, is that I have brought some unwanted attention to myself. Some of her allies are accusing me, although they lack any kind of actual proof as of yet, which is how I intend to keep it for the longest time possible. I know some of these Worgen will -try- to kill me for the mere thought of doing anything to that poor Worgen. Hahahaha...they can try.

That one rogue who stole my gold, Northaz, and his whore of a wife/girlfriend/harlot clearly care for the girl. That's good. They can care for her as she attempts to rip their throats out. I told you I'd get my gold's worth back, Northaz. And I got it back manifold.

Suffer well.

PS: I have directed the unwanted attention to my dear assistant, Miss Estilla. Surely she will know how to deal with them, and therefore hide both of our parts in this. If worse comes to worse, though, she will be the one dying instead of me.

I suppose I'll send her a message letting her know of the impeding danger.

Victim number Five: Fennore

Race? Kaldorei (Night Elf)
Specialization? Rogue/Assassin.
Character? Aggressive, but shows signs of increased intelligence, using his wit to try to stir chaos and confusion.

Reason for Crafting? Requirement. He was quickly proving to become a danger to the operation.

Log of Crafting: Blue Recluse. There was an old man who passed out. Me and lady Estella offered to "heal" the man. It took some convincing, but we managed to take the body away from the overprotective bodyguard.

Sadly, he didn't listen. Him and a Night Elf ambushed me in my garden. Of course, I escaped unharmed, using the old man as a body shield, which they decided to tear apart. Estella was sapped but snapped out of it in time for us to escape. Quite unfortunate, this. They discovered my hiding place. Oh well, there's plenty to go around...

The Worgen bodyguard didn't know me or Estella, but the assassin was a different matter...who followed us to Stormwind's graveyard. I told him to come out and we can talk about what happened. Sure enough, that's just what he did...the fool. What kind of assassin comes out of hiding when asked to? A poorly trained one, or one that wishes to suffer.

Regardless, I filled his mind with a bunch of nonsense, and he did something that interested me: He tried to turn Estella against me by saying that I hired him to spy on Estella. Instead of contesting the lie, which would mean validating it's existence, I went with it. This confused and possibly terrified Estella, which is always fun, but more importantly, it confused the assassin.

I told him to finish the job, which was to kill Estella, and threw a large bag of coins before him. Naturally, I took the time to hit him with the hilt of my blade in the back of his skull, and give him a good kick to boot. Swiftly, I gave him a Muddlemind Elixir, and comforted (slightly) the terrified Estella.

Assassins essentially live in the shadows...as well this one, although by force. I have runed him in a way that makes him very, very sensitive to light sources of all kinds. This will drive him to hide in only the darkest places, and avoid normal interactions. Ah, I am merely trying to help him get better at his job...Gyahahahaha!

Ah, the glory. The Worgen has no case. Him and the assassin are responsible for his injuries, and we merely tried to help him. That's the story that we'll tell, and we will win as a result. The fools think they can outsmart ME?! VRAKROSH?! I will be happy to convince everyone otherwise...

The runing has just begun, and it will merely become more severe from here on out.

Victim number Six: Frath

Race? Worgen.
Specialization? Druid.
Character? Seems to be an enthusiastic child, enjoys reading and birds. Enjoys talking to others but otherwise keeps to himself, it seems.

Reason for Crafting? Aside from perfecting my art, none. Given the choice, I would of left him alone...

Log of Crafting: Blue Recluse. I have spoken to the boy, Frath, on multiple occasions. He was often hidden in a corner, reading a book. He told me of these books, and wished to trade books with me someday.

I told him that I had books with me, and lead him to an isolated tower. I gave him a drink mixed with a Muddlemind Elixir, and went to work. I made it so that he will act like he is a bird, since he said he wanted to become one some day.

I...hm. It's hard for me to explain. I feel as if I should of left the boy alone. All he wanted to do was to learn. He's not like the rest of the scum that infests this horrible place. However, I must continue practicing the limits of my art.

When the end comes, I will make sure he will find a place with the birds he so adores. He won't be suffering along with the rest of the idiots here.

Not like me to feel some sort of sadness. I suppose I'll kill a puppy later. That always cheers me up.
