Ahead of this Saturday’s assault on Southsun Cove, Duke Witherheart meets with guildmates and Vigil commanders to plan the attack on the karka home island.

Deep in the heart of Lion’s Arch, Duke confirms his strategy and explains the purpose behind the event.

“I deeply, deeply believe that someone needs to show those four-legged bastards who really rules Southsun Cove! That’s us - the good people in the free nations of Tyria!”

He continued, “ArenaNet have recently said that PvE culling has been turned off. Oh yeah!? Well let’s see for real!”

“It’s about time that the EU side of the game had an event. Can you believe that the US Tumblr folks held a party on Southsun just last week without even taking protection!? It’s a miracle they didn’t suffer heavy casualties!”

Touching on the future, our brave leader stated, “if this goes well I’ll look to possibly hold a community event every month!”

When questioned about the last expedition to Orr and condemning 60 of his guildies to death against a risen giant, Duke declined to comment.

Economists predict a huge uptake in beer purchases as we approach the weekend, so it’s highly recommended that you stock up now before all of the alcohol in Tyria sells out!

In an attempt to bolster morale, Duke has shared a preview of the kit he’s bringing to the event on Saturday.

Is that enough gear to survive? Time will tell!

In these troubled times, everyone needs to be vigilant.

That includes YOU!

Even the level 38 sylvari elementalist Lindenheart is taking steps to combat the crabby threat. In the shallow pools over in Caledon Forest, our enemies are attempting to seize a foothold by sending out their spies.

A quick AoE sends them running!

Tell that to your queen, shell-cretins!

If you’re doing your part this Saturday and attending the Strike on Southsun, make sure you post in the official forum thread! We look forward to seeing you all in Lion’s Arch then!

REMEMBER: The only good crab is a dead crab!
