Extra commendations upon the death of a large scaly best that we though we had defeated previously, yes, but tonight was defeated with an extra dash of heroic fervor, indeed!

We began the trial last evening at nine bells, and immediately Lady Triniel Colliere plead guilty without first hearing the charges or the punishment, indeed.

Therefore, we are to presume from this point forward that any ill deed is to be attributed to Lady Colliere, and should any of us require any punishments to be meted out, we should first visit them upon said Lady. Indeed.

However, to her credit, she has agreed to be a willing co-experimenter with me, and one could always use dedicated and talented lab assistants, indeed. So consider her sentence (whatever it should be) temporarily suspended, yes.

Regardless, we welcome her to the Inner Circle. Well done, well done, hooray indeed! Yes.

Last Friday, at nine bells in the Undercity, a strange ritual, long unseen in that quarter, was undertaken. At least one member of the Black Hand was a witness. But there were not witnesses to that witness.

And what was there to witness?

Whò, that's who. After a year as a Cherry Pie Peon, we welcome him to the ranks of the super-secret none-may-tell elite of the Inner Circle, indeed.

Well done, Whò, yes!

And after his initiation, we took on an Elder God, by C'thun, indeed. Poor Magrik. But Whò struck a telling blow to the greater eyestalk of the Azerothian instantiation of this overgrown tentacle beast, yes.

Commendations upon the death of a large scaly beast somehow intent on trying to create some kind of Cataclysm, indeed!

May I offer congratulations to all and sundry for their part in the removal of that double-headed pest, Cho'Gall? Well done, my friends, well done! A grave threat to our safety is now in its grave, yes. Where it belongs, indeed! Next up: Al'Akir, yes.
