For several weeks Xegony has been the obvious progression target on our agenda, though for various reasons, attempting this event had until this weekend been postponed.

Though this weekend it was decided that the time had come, and Eryslai's royalty was both measured and conquered within 30 hours. Through the learning process this encounter proved itself to be, the guild displayed both stamina and persistance at a level which has rarely been seen prior to the battles within the kingdom of wind.

Klavs stood his ground for 55 minutes whilst the various waves were defeated through a tactic which was thoroughly modified from the first nights attempts. Congratulations to Thaolin on her Vest of Phoenix Feathers and to Karthu his Simple ring of Purity Focus has now been shifted towards a different element, namely water, and having witnessed the ability of our guild today, the Coirnav encounter is most definately doable.

The magicians of Raging Fury have a tendency to work somewhat different when it comes to organizing their summoned arrows, as displayed below, the comparison of Celsius versus Thaolin. Following in the quote section the monk squad normally appears quite able when it comes to deciding upon which way to move the raidforce, though at times..

Though we have yet to progress any further in the highly elaborate storyline within the Planes of Power, we have been far from inactive. In lieu of the recent allowance of gating spells in Veeshans Peak it was decided to pay the once considered tier4 zone a visit, about three years post of its prime.

The eerie feel of exploration and challenge was all but gone, as was only to be expected, though it was still quite the apprechiated reciprocal of countless cr's resulting from Hoshkar Gating, hours of clearing see invis guardian wurms, to mention some of the dreaded quaLities that Veeshans Peak once had. I have taken the liberty of adding a link to the first encounter I personally ever experienced in VP, as returning brought a certain nostalgic stirr, Silverwing Nov 2000

We have not given the Coirnav encounter a new attempt as of yet, though our tactic stands readier than ever before, and while awaiting the availability of the avatar of water, Xegony was bested once again, along with the tyrant of fire.

In addition to some new members, we also welcome the return of Shah from his dormant existence as a student, comments to the quote section, I will get you next time Yrgass!

We are currently looking for 1-2 dedicated shamen to fill our ranks. Our current requirements in addition to level 65 is mass group buff and cannibalize. If interested, either post on the application forum, or for a more discreet approach, send an ingame tell to Haillon or Karde.

Many a night has of late been spent within the onerous walls of the ocean chantry, attempting to breach the harmony of respectively the Temples of Rage and Fury. Despite the similarity to our guildname, Barxt proved to be no ally, though on our fourth night amid the spirits of Uqua, the guardian of Qvic fell to a vast force of 54 adventurers.

On behalf of the guild and myself, I would like to extend an extensive gratitude to Timmok. Without his efforts, this victory would be weeks away. For many of us, it has been quite some time since the last adrenaline rush occurred during an EQ raid, though I remain fairly certain I was not the only one enraptured by this encounter tonight. Hopefully all of those who endured the tedious hours of mastering this encounter, will find further motivation as the intricate storyline of Taelosia unwreaths itself. Prior to engaging Qvic in full force, obvious reflagging events will take precedence, in other words an additional Uqua / Altar clearing

Our second night in the unmasked chapel once again brought us up against Kelekdrix, Herald of Trushnar. With refined tactics and nearly a full expedition, the first trial of Inktu'ta was completed.

The remaining part of the evening was spent exploring the second trial, and I am pleased to announce some progress was actually made. Loot of the night consisted of a loop of endless insanity in addition to a mana augment. Kelekdrix was apparently concerned in regards to his personal belongings, leaving all loot within a pile of bones near his altar, thus pictorial material is somewhat limited.

On an auxiliary note, we are currently looking for two active Bards. Obviously being flagged for Kod'Taz will be a definite plus, though not necessarily a dealbreaker if lacking. Our primary concern is activity and ability. View the application forum on our boards for further details, or send Nineveh a tell in game.

Cynosure Kvanjji fell within Qvic today after having bested our guild twice with the aid of his persistant arbitors. Personally I found this encounter rather enjoyable as it differs somewhat from the traditional fighting pattern. Far from certain we applied the correct approach for this particular fight, we still ended up victorious.

Our visists to Inktu'ta has yet to yield any progression unfortunately, as our latest expedition crashed moments post slaying Kelekdrix. Believe it or not, Gyldendahl actually managed to die on top of the corpse, removing any pictorial value, thus address potential complaints his way should the need arise.

Bards are still encouraged to apply, both cross server and local applications. Check our forum for further details, or contact Nineveh in game.

Two words more than adequately sum up the new Vishimtar event, chain reaction, and despite the fact that I feel those words alone would suffice for an update, one has to give the developers credit for the way they have ameliorated this event. Every individual, regardless of class, play a vital role during the encounter, and should one of them falter slightly, the path downhill is relentless. We can only hope that the upcoming expansion will offer events similar to this one, it was highly enjoyable.

Recruitment wise we are currently looking for a shaman or two, apart from meeting our basic aa requirements all we deem a necessity is that you actually show up for raids. Our narrowing wizard branch would also benefit from an addition or two, please inquire from either Rahvin or Lilchantress ingame if Raging Fury seems an interesting choice. All we demand from potential future wizard members is that their back item surpasses Skyllah's cloak of combustion. Opening the quote session is Faernx suggesting a new logo for the guild.

Here it is as promised: Sullon Zek finally bites the dust after 3 weeks, 16 attempts, and 4 zone crashes, which made us drop Razorthorn for a week. But the encounter got fixed and we reentered Razorthorn determined to test out our new plan which we were confident would work, based on the progress we made before the fight decided to break.

Sunday night it became evident that we had a working strategy and we only needed some minor tuning in terms of execution. So this Monday night, we returned with an even better composed and better prepared raid force than the night before, and it paid off tremendously.

Engaging just after 8:00 pm, we performed a near flawless execution with only 5 or 6 deaths during the following 20-minute brawl. I must say it was a pretty intense, yet a very smooth fight, even though our main tank utilized his Divine Intervention 8 times during the fight, which made me kind of jumpy. (Can't be helped, he is a lizard.) In the end we came out on top and then went into Austin Powers' secret disco room to celebrate, as you can see below.

So now with Sullon Zek down, the real challenge is ahead of us. Trying to figure out how to actually get into Ayonae Ro's domain; Deathknell, Tower of Dissonance. Of course everyone is eager to see more of what we can expect in the next weeks to come, so we decided to trigger this little expedition to take a look.

And there she was, Ayonae Ro in all her glory. It kind of seems she isn't doing too well, so we will have to sort things out for her, as we always do.

I can't say that we learned a lot on this first trip into Deathknell, but stay tuned for some new, updated progress hopefully.
