Twice before in the history of Everquest has the guild stood against an encounter as disconsolate as Warden
Hanvar within the Citadel of Anguish, its predecessors being the Rathe Council amid the height of the Planes of Power,
followed by a more familiar Zun'Muram Tkarish Zyk. All of the endeavours mentioned above had the distinct ability to
totally halt progression for quite a significant amount of time, albeit one factor set Warden Hanvar apart, namely the recent
exodus from the game caused by the allure of newer "improved" games.
Like many a guild serverwide we lost a fair amount of our regular playing base, rendering the Warden encounter not
doable, considering a peak attendance of mid thirties. Recruiting was obviously intensified, primarily consisting of
players applying from outside the boarders of Antonius Bayle, and merely a few weeks after, our numbers stabilized
anew.
Having worked on this encounter for close to two months, most of us will likely suffer more than a fair share of grey
hairs now knowing that our initial tactics were actually Dead on, though limited numbers mixed with poor execution deemed
our attempts unworthy of success.
As the pictures will hopefully indicate ( sorry Finnemann! ) I was not present during the encounter, though Finnemann managed
to secure the following gem from Faiar:
Within The Fortress of Zek, Tallon was found up and available for a change,
and knowing the gate to Soluseks Tower would open through this deity's demise,
neither encouraging words or blessings of faith were deemed a necessity.
Vallon also decided to grace us with his presence, and thus carebears throughout
Norrath cheered vicariously
The warders of Raging-Fury are seldom apprechiated for their endeavors. Glistening
displays of weaponshields, fletching, and countless outbursts in regards to line
of sight, bow performance and tanking efforts. The following pictures were donated by
Grymin, and for the wood elves out there viewing with an open gasp, they are known to
answer every fanmail.
The foundations of Marr's divine temple shook as Mithaniel was found lacking in every way
against a vast force of adventurers seeking unfought battles. Losing merely an ogre the
paladin was thoroughly disposed of as the march continued towards the tower of Solusek Ro
In recent events we have learned that Mortalis will be leaving Antonius Bayle for Venril Saathir.
Truely a loss, and we wish them the best of luck. Fashion victim of the week is Ceryx, one of our main pullers, who despite his 2000 hp actually manages
to stay Alive from time to time.
Agnarr the Storm Lord, the abhorrence of Karana himself was confronted
and defeated within the Bastion of Thunder today, a battle in which I personally
did not participate, thus the pictorial material as well as quote of the week was
donated by our newly appointed guildleader, Klavs.
Faiar was the source of inspiration for the following picture, and unless you actually
play on Antonius Bayle, the oddity in the picture will most likely elude you.
The crypt of decay stood empty today as the plaguebringer himself was defeated in what can only be described
as a way overdue kill. Our previous attempt ended post the point of enrage, and thus todays victoious outcome
was especially liberating. Practically the entire guild participated, and with a higher turnout than we have seen
in weeks, new conquests were definately within reach
Still amply representated, we learned Saryrn was up within the plane of Torment, a deity
we had yet to attempt. Loaded with confidence from the previous slaying, Saryrn offered
no resistance, and the path to the tower of Solusek for some reasons seemed shorter.
Apparanetly fighting a female deity is more than some can handle. The following two quotes occured
during the fight, and are both necessities for the front page,
