…there lived a King and his son in a huge fortress. They ruled their kingdom with an iron hand and crushed any that would oppose them.

But there was a brave group of adventurers trying to bring their tyrannical rule to an end. Day after day of defeat did not diminish their resolve to bring peace to the kingdom once again. They fought off the King’s guard dog, Murdantix, at the entrance of the fortress rather quickly and went off to face the tyrants yet another time.

But this time Lady Luck favoured them. All the heroes fought hard, used their previously earned experience in battling these monstrous rulers. It was a bitter fight and looked hopeless for the heroes again but Prince Dollin gave in first. The King cried out in rage when he saw his son lying on the ground and tried a last desperate attempt but was finally defeated as well. The adventurers ended the tyranny at last with barely half the group still on their feet. Great was the joy of the brave adventurers and shiny was the loot they found on the corpses of the King and Prince of the fortress.

But the brave adventurers had yet another trial waiting ahead of them for the King and Prince had actually been possessed by an evil witch from a foreign land! So the heroes ventured into a secret cave behind the throne where the evil witch was awaiting them. After having a bit of trouble with her evil minions the brave heroes faced the evil witch in battle. Still tired from their previous fight and not quite prepared for a foe of that calibre the group was soon defeated. Having to retreat the heroes promised to deliver justice to the evil witch in the near future…

To be continued.

Great job last Monday everyone! Finally got Molinar and Dollin down! We had a lot of luck with the red areas not spawning in bad spots and barely made it with 5secs left till enrage and all our healers dead and our Rogue tank had used his cheat death ability already. We weren’t really prepared for it but since we still had some time left we went on to Estrode but it took a while to check up stuff and ask our awesome Warriors to respec. We will definitely be back though.

Hello all!

Just after ED’s 2 year anniversary the other day our raid team also achieved a few things worth celebrating.

For the third week in a row we have been back in Hammerknell! It was really great to see. We had a lot of new members over the last few weeks and a lot of them helped making HK a regular thing. Thank you all!

On our first week back in HK (you can imagine the HYPEEEEE) we managed to kill Murdantix again! We used up almost all of our raid time though, especially since we started late, so we didn’t bother going through those painful trash mobs before our next target King Molinar and Prince Dolin. We were super happy already with just being able to go back in there and kick Murdantix’s smelly behind! Some of us didn’t even want to leave the place, running around in circles being happy to be there again.

The second week we had enough people to go in there again! Oh the hype! Murdantix was not so hyped but thought of this as a good chance to kick our behinds this time round. We had quite a lot of random deaths. Sometimes it was like his green farts turned into a big explosion killing like 8 of our melees out of nowhere. Bad dog, bad! He even resisted our magical fail-safe “OK LAST PULL”-chant-for-definite-kill. And in a really evil way as well – our last pull got him to 1% hp…

… Yeah that was quite painful.

BUT!

Our third week! Ohhhhhh now that was awesome! KILL ON FIRST PULL! Yahoooooo. Yes, first pull.  Stop laughing, it’s true. No, it wasn’t the chronicle either.

We actually went for some really good tries on King Molinar after that!

We only had one night on King before and it’s been what feels like ages so everyone was anxious, raid leader included. “Okay guys, I think I’m supposed to explain tactics now but… I don’t really remember, it’s been a while…” We somehow put together what we remembered from the tactics – some mid-battle – and had a few very good tries! Lowest we got them to was 26 %. I blame the drunken Mage that usually boasts with his dps but happened to struggle with outdpsing the supports and healers tonight. He blamed it on the poor Pyromancer spec.

But you could definitely see improvement every pull. We still had to get used to the fight again so we had a lot of simple deaths, easily fixed by more practice, like missing an interrupt or reflect here and there, wrong positions etc. Very good tries though! I’m sure we can get this down in time if we continue the practice.

Yesterday then, was the day we scheduled for a few tries on Anrak on hard mode! We’ve never tried IGP on hard mode so it was a whole new challenge. We had a few tries with 9 people while waiting for our delayed 10th person. The first real try with 10 people got us to 10% on enrage and we weren’t sure if we could cover that but HELL YEAH! We did! I think we owe this success to our Archon that day that told the tanks and healers to just pull an additional 10 % more dps and we should be good! And lol they actually did improve their dps (among other people) and we got it down! Great job everyone! So proud <3 We had a few tries on Guurloth but nothing serious because we were at half raid time already so we decided to switch back to normal mode to make sure we clear it and get some other people that need more gear in as well.

Very successful few weeks! Great job everyone.
