The Orb Wills It

Deep within the musky confines of ominous Shadowhall of the Ancient Shadows, the Orb was not pleased. An eerie red glow was bathing each corner of the hall, while the atmosphere weighted heavily with menace. From a safe distance, Roo, the proud servant of the Shadows, stood perplexed at this new development. "What has that pesky janitor done again?", he mused. Regardless of the causes behind this predicament, the matter at hand was more important than delivering a sound thrashing to the culprits behind it. Judging from the texture of the Orb, it was evident that no small offering of Troll sweat or tales of tormented adventures counting the ghosts of Scholomance would be enough to appease it. Roo frowned in concentration, as his ages dead mind flared briefly back to life with thunderous inspiration.

Cackling to himself, he turned his back to the Orb and purposefully marched out of the Shadowhall. "Nicodemus!", he shouted, "stop eating the pigeons, there are missives to be sent. We have a bloodbath to orchestrate!"

I hate to burst your bubble...

Allright true believers, after a month of getting our collective asses handed to us, it seems like we're back on track. Mr. Tidewalker Bubblefarter has been on our kill goal list for a considerable amount of time now, but apparently we have been repeatedly failing in delivering the fatal blow.


Indeed it has been a long hard month, filled with more than average drama, unstable signups, confusion, people complaining, etc. But the past has taught us, perseverence pays off. Heck, we wiped so much on this boss trying to work out a tactic that suited our roster that some people's corpse changed shape from the beatings :P


But then again, as Pinky and the Brain says, "if you don't succeed at first, build a larger catapult or use mroe electricity. After repeated hammerings, we managed to scrounge enough mages and warlocks, pot through the nose and ultimately achieve this much desired result.


Truth be told, this would have been a flawless kill if we hadn't gone all rabid at the last 8% and decided to ingore the murlocs. Oh well, the end justifies the means :)


So yeah, thanks to some stray murlocs we managed once again to have one of our infamous AoD-style kill/wipes. Ah, the fond memories of the salty taste of those blackrock mountain stone floors...


So closing what I hope to be the first in rapid series of SSC boss keels, I'd like to thank all our raiding members (present in the kill or not), for keeping the faith and keeping together, despite the rocky roads and the choppy waters we have been crossing lately. Remember, anyone with half a brain and some spare time can achieve progress. It takes considerably more effort to get the job done and maintain our special guild character largely intact. Killshot 111oneone!!!
