Dragonkiller killed

Just a small personal progression rambling. Skip it if you don’t want to get involved. ;-)

Still reading? Fine! :-)

<Ravenous> has recently grouped up with two other guilds to form a raiding alliance. Before this, we had some difficulties mustering enough people to raid Gruul’s Lair properly.

With the addition of new an nice people to kiss the floor together, we managed to get the raids rolling.

With much success, I have to add.

Last Thursday was our second raid-day with all three guilds together. We had already killed High King Maulgar the week before, but this time he went down like… well… Attumen. No one died, and everyone was highly motivated to meet (and put down) the cave’s main lodger. ;-)

We dealt with the trash and gathered beyond the gates, buffed up and pulled.

Sadly, on the first attempt, our maintank went down at about 25% of Gruul’s hit points. An unlucky silence paired with no trees alive and some slacking healers, I guess. Our raid leader called a wipe and we did follow. I have to admit that I was not sure if the wipe-call was justified. We had a lot of DPS and potential tanks still standing. Nevertheless we heeded the call and wiped it out.

The second attempt went a bit smoother. We lost the Hurtful Strike tank somewhere between 10 and 20 percent, but we were able to continue, and the big gronn met his fate soon afterwards.

I was even able to get something nice from the kill beyond the 3 Badges of Justice. A few minutes of filing on the dead gronn’s denture rewarded me with the Teeth of Gruul. Quite becoming to a dwarven priestess, if you ask me. ^^
