It seems like just a few weeks ago that I posted some news warbling on about the Brothers Zek, how much of a pain they are and how, at some point, we'd pop back for a friendly chat, beer and some severe spanking.
It was howling night in December and so cold for some that they felt yet another attempt of the Zeks would be a pointless attempt and we should focus our efforts on Crushbone.
As tempting as those orcs are, we decided a wipe against the Zeks was what we needed to get into a cheery festive spirit, so off we went..
It's safe up here, I think I'll stay here, get me a coffee will you?
We wiped in about 5 minutes, personally, I blamed the Druids
Check your back for a Wizard's wand burn
Off we went again, with a revised strategy, well, technically it wasn't so much a revised strategy, but more of a "can you people please do what you're told" type of strategy..
It didn't seem to be working so well..
Are the HP going up or down? I can't quite tell!
We soldiered on, each one of us attempting to find a way to slip a dagger in the back of a druid should the chance present itself..
Are the HP going up or down? I still can't quite tell!
After another 5 or 10 minutes, we decided that we'd uncovered a bug in the script, 2 in fact: (1) The HP on the Zeks were still going down and (2) we were all still alive..
See, HP bugged, no question about it!
Time passes and then, shock of shocks...
That explained their Chesty cough!
We were victorious, but worse, it actually was reasonably straight forward, it was, as Dane had said, simply of question of doing as we're told (clearly not directed at the wizards of course)
Full of joy, energy and confidence, we figured we'd have a quick look at Eriak, to check out the event, the emotes and the like, as prep for an attempt later on..
He certainly looks tall!
There was a lot of ducking, moving, standing still, running around, dodging some relocated MPG mobs, who certainly didn't travel well!
Big and slow, a bit like Augok!
Fighting continued, nukes a flying, the usual helpful raid instructions:
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Burn it!!!'
Look, what else do we do? Give it an ice cream?
Saying that, Eriak clearly wasn't receiving any instructions either:
Mob without useful raid instructions!
Somebody ought to tell him to move it!
Well, Duh, Uh Oh!
SPLAT!!!!!!!!!!
Game Over, Insert Coin!
And Wow did we celebrate!! It was a major victory for us to get these 2 raids behind us, good riddance, that's for sure.
So, what else can we get up to?
Well, we've being scrying quite a bit, getting to understand the lay of the land with in the intention to teach Lord Brekt a few things, we've had a few strategies...
Erm, do you ALL have to ignore our DONT BREAK MEZ instructions?
Things like this can only lead to trouble..
Just wait until I go get a beer and let this lot loose!
That part of the run seemed to go just a little bit too quickly and then all of a sudden we're sacrificing anyone we can and created so much mess for the instance clean up crews to deal with..
Somebody is going to report us, we just know it
Fortunately we have awesome rogues and we nothing takes us unawares!!!!!!
Erm, Is this a trap?
Things didn't get much better, somebody was going to get their eye poked out!
Fiigmo, alive?
It all ended terribly and they sent Chief Dungeon Cleaner Volkana to talk to us.
You ARE going to use the recycling bins aren't you?
Clearmoon had a chat with him and he left (I suspect after trading hair style designs, but I can only speculate due to the 2 daggers in my back at this moment in time)
It was time for us to progress, it was late, we were tired and we needed some Brektfast, so we thought we'd pop in, without a flash in the camera.
Chief Hairdresser Brekt!
So, hey, let's give the guy a shot, I mean, those curling tongs don't look too bad, how much can they hurt?
Tanith also taking fashion advice!
We started to get a strange feeling, a Time Lordy type feeling, Tavid Dennant watch out!
Looking scary!
We maintained our focus, ignoring the time focus on a single goal - to get Brekt down fast. Get Brektfast!
And down he went!
Brekt DOWN!!
MANY Congratulations NC, we rock, we roll and we party like there's no tomorrow!
I'd like to close this news post with a sincere Thank You to Danelgar for his raid leadership, he is NC through and through, we all salute you.
Be well Danelgar, we'll see you when you come back :)
