Second Course Almost Ready
Reporter: Dralfir

Recently the Salad Senate successfully added a nice crispy amber topping to the second course in the mission to protect Pandaria with a successful defeat of Amber Shaper Un'Sok, after a couple weeks attempting to get past him the team braced themselves and in the first attempt taught him that they are not to be trifled with.

The battle started with Un'Sok focusing his skills altering the genetic make-up of them and turning them into Amber monstrosities, the monstrosities were weakened to the point where the tanks could break free of the casing. After taking some damage the Amber Shaper stopped focusing on the tanks and unleashed his greatest creation a giant monstrosity of Amber. After a long fight the creature was defeated driving Un'Sok into a rage at the destruction of the monstrosity. The battle turned into a race for time as the Amber Shaper's will was so strong that the people could no longer break free from the Amber shells while he was alive.

The Salad Senate eventually prevailed and moved on to make the Dread Wastes safe for the Klaxxi once again so they can go back into hibernation to prepare for their usual cycle.


Editor's Note

I would like to apologize for the delay in the release of this issue. Me and our reporters have had a hectic month. We are hoping to get issues out on a more regular basis but cannot guarantee anything.


Shifting Sands Solidify
Reporter: Ditarenzu

This month the Salad Senator organizers Suxian and Salmacis made the decision that to help assure a minimum of communication issues they needed to appoint a Raid leader to be in charge during the time they were inside the raids. After much deliberation they settled on appointing SaintJim as the raid leader, they also chose to appoint Ayr as DPS lead and Booning was appointed to Heal lead.

The Salad Senator would like to congratulate all the new raid leaders and wish them much success and ibuprofen.

Special Issue 2

Service Cancelled

Earlier today the Salad Senate was forced to disband under continuing pressure of being unable to resolve issues between mambers. Major complaints were of constant yelling at members from elemental Shaman Salmacis. Tank Dralfir was sited as being to much of a smartass for many members to deal with.

Priest Saintjim was cited as being power hungry and constantly trying to take over while the team was working through the heart of fear, while the other tank Stillup was questioned about why he could not live up to his name but failed to answer because he was on another corpse run. Booning spent most of the raid yelling at Suxian for having such poor heals yet the complaints coming in from some of the raid members claim that he was even below Hunteress in heals when she broke out a few linen bandages to help out.

The Hunter Salmek was trying to defend his outright thievery of Slamacis's name but was failing miserably. When asked for comment about the raid drama Slickrock failed to respond because he was to busy watching baseball for the fantasy league.

Since the Salad Senate is no more that also means this will be the last issue of the Salad Senator, it was nice knowing you. Have a good time in the World of Warcraft and Happy APRIL FOOLS DAY

Breakfast is Served

Reported by: Dralir

This past week the Salad Senate once again returned to the Mogu'shan Vaults in northern Kun-Lai summit. They arrived with the full intent of showing the Mogu of the vaults that Pandaria was not theirs to take. Having ensured all the previous bosses did not return again this week they stepped up to the machine that summoned many aspects of the will of the Mogu emperor, from the small but determined rages to the large strengths. They activated the machine at the insistence of Lorewalker Cho and the battle began, after a few of the weaker mogu attacked the Senate noticed two humongous Mogu forming in a couple of the alcoves, Stillup and myself were quick to grab the attention of these Behemoths to keep them from turning some of the lighter clothed members of the Senate into paste.

Despite the creatures constant attempts to devestate us me and Stillup were able to keep the creatures occupied and even get in a few opportunistic hits in on them and after a lengthy battle they and the rest of the summoned mogu lay on the floor dead making the vaults safe for Pandaria. The first course is done and the Salad Senate is ready to clear the bugs out of the kitchen for lunch.

Kitchen Cleaning
Reported by: Dralfir

The Salad Senate having cleared the Mogu'shan Vaults have headed out to the Dread Wastes to what was once the heart of the Mantid Empire. Upon arriving they found the place infested with bugs (not surprising since the Mantid themselves are giant bugs). The Klaxxi are determind to serve their people and make sure they survive, sadly for them it means the one they once called Empress must be removed so they can start fresh. The Salad Senate has one job out here to clean out the kitchen so the Mantid can hopefully cook things up the way they always have in the past.

The cleaning went well, a little elbow grease had the entrance room sparkling as the Imperial Vizier Zor'lock quickly proved no match for our practiced heroes. Continuing in the team found Blade Lord Ta'yak to be a tougher bug to squish yet with a bit of adjusting of the bug spray recipe he was put down.

Upon seeing the crew coming the remaining mantid in the palace got worried and summoned in Garalon. The traps the Senate laid for him proved to be ineffective yet tomorrow they are headed back in to clean up the kitchen some more.

Food for Thought
Cooking and Crafting in the World of Azeroth

A Nimble Snack
Guest Chef: Salmacis of Aerie Peak

When out fighting in the wilds of Azeroth a feast is a great thing to have with you if you are with a bunch of friends, however sometimes you are out on your own and setting up a feast is just time consuming and a waste of food, for times like those it is always best to make sure you have food with you that will get you the most bang for your buck. While most of the time I prefer to work with the elements to keep my enemies away from me, my training did teach me skills to fight toe to toe with them if I must.

One of the key parts of my training was the fact that since I do not wear the heavy plate that a warrior, paladin or death knight would it is best that I just avoid getting hit. For those situations I need a meal that will keep me light on my feet so that I can smack the beast I am fighting while he finds nothing but air. My preferred meal for those situations is Sea Mist Rice Noodles.

You start the dish with some raw turtle meat cooking in a Wok, sautee up some Tiger Gourami as well and a generous serving of Scallions. Once you have these started you want to take some rice flour shape it into noodles and cook them into the mix, it makes for a great meal that doesn't weigh you down as you dodge around the enemies so they never know which way your attacks are coming from.

A Shocking Find
Guest Reporter: Mykul of Azgalor

The continuing attack on the Isle of Thunder has recently yielded a shocking new discovery in the world of Blacksmithing. As a miner I have always done what I could to keep my blacksmith friends supplied with any spare Ghost Iron that I could when I wasn't using it to craft jewels for use in armor. Recently the demand for the bars has skyrocketed as the recent invasion of the lightning mines has lead to many Blacksmiths learning the secrets of Lightning Steel.

Lightning steel has proven to have many surprising uses over normal Ghost Iron and such so the need for plenty of Ghost Iron may last for a while since the crafting is so involved all blacksmiths can only seem to craft one bar a day.

BIRD DROPPINGS

reported by Dralfir

Since the resurrection of Lei Shen the thunder king and the assault on his throne in order to show him once and for all that Pandaria is not his the Gnomes have been very busy. They have successfully simulated 6 of the powerful creatures one can find in the Throne of Thunder in order to help guilds prepare themselves for what they will face when they attempt to take on Lei Shen.

For the past two weeks members of the Salad Senate have charged in hoping to find items they can use to assist in fixing the other issues around Pandaria. The first week was slow going but eventually they prevailed, however last night they encountered a problem unlike they had encountered before.

To start the night they gathered 24 members of the Convert to Raid community including such big names as Fangnail himself, who is still quite popular in the community despite his infamous dealings with members of the horde. Some outfits have linked him to dealing of the hunter Zhug over on Earthen ring.

The team successfully managed to once again prevail over the first 3 bosses and continued on to the second test chamber set up by the Gnomes. There was some trouble getting by Tortos, but eventually they prevailed, after that they made short work of Megara after clearing through tons of mobs on the way to her. Another slog through mobs they found themselves face to face with Ji-Kun

This bird sadly proved to be too much for the team to take down especially considering the time it took to reach it, the bird was dropping the raid left and right and eventually it was called a bust as many of the members had to get some of that mystical stuff called sleep. Will the Salad Senate return to the Gnomish device? Only time will tell
