Well my first trip into the raid was amazing to say the least. My photos all turned out to be me giving the various bosses a Beleriand Suppostry so nothiong worth posting
First Few Bosses:
Barz:
BFT (big Fucking Troll) number one, tank and spank with lots of legging it away when he decided he was "gonna gnaw on your bones" as his clubs descended in a "lets make jelly" fashion, his pesky adds were 3 iterations of the trash mobs leading up to this point, once his 135k morale was gone a new pair of boots were mine (yipee first raid and i got me first raid set piece)
Zurm:
BFT two He is the easier of the two but we did wipe once due to some add shenanigans and lots of "mez the slave" "oh shit" , "no aoe" goings on, second time was smooth as. again once his 135k morale gone another lucky person got his boots as a just reward.
Then a little run back to the central area to find a door has opened behind where a giant once stood, rushing headlong into the unknown i stumbled across said giant and 3 of his friends they introduce themselves as the Eldgang and have been under assault by fire orcs, who trying to breach the Thaurlachs prison. It was then that a group of said orcs rushed in, the giants looked capable of dealing with these EM orcsies so we left them to it and ran along the cavern until a room opened before us. Jumping up some rubble we saw a few Summoners, these orcs have a thing about summoning fire worms to help them then were stunned and their worms squished, lots of Champion clobbering ensued to stop the buggers summoning more friends.
Then came
Furz:
BFT three
A good ol tank and spank, only thing me and my champ buddy had to do was wait for the spawns of 4 orcs who rush in, when they hit the floor from the broken staircase , the horns were sounded stunning the buggers until we could dice them up quick as they would heal Furz if not killed quickly. A kinny got a new set of gloves as a just reward.
Through another door into the unknown.
A cavern leading to a large open space with summoners and fire drakes, a quick clear revealed
Zogtark:
This orc stood above us laughing as his two Elder Drakes tried their best to set us on fire, we laid down the smack until they took flight, it was then zogtark decide to join in, upon seeing their boss take a pounding the drakes again descended only to be met with a swift end. A kinny recieved a new set of legs (oo er) as a reward
A door opened to reveal a lava filled room with metal (stupid orcs) bridges leading between the small rock formations. Running across these was burny. On setting foot on the first "island" a mini volcano, Fumaro;e appeared lots of clobbering to stop them summoning their glowy friends and stunning/ mezzing the 3 orcs who tried to blind side us was repeated on the next island too.
It was then we spotted
ZOgtark: having a conversation with a rather shady looking character
This sob comes prepared with 4 healers who peel off to keep him alive during the fight, these were dealt with 1 by 1 as the hunters kept an eye on the darklings that were spawning of to the side, as they were trying to get to the swirly void that had opened up in the centre of the dias.
The healers dead zogtark was brought back up to us for a spanking, the hunter kept control of the darklings and all was good. Someone recieved a new set of chest armour as a reward.
By this time we was knackered and everyone headed to bed, 5 down 3 to go.
