The Chamber of Righteousness yesterday became the first raid encounter Raging Fury
completed within the Gates of Discord expansion. Having successfully led a group
to victory through the initial three trials within the broken trialgrounds, Klavs
was able to trigger a more onerous path to the Altar of Destruction, and more
importantly, one with the ability to host more than merely six adventurers.
Dismissing the haughty tales of overwhelming difficulty in regards to every GoD
encounter, six artifacts of righteousness were recovered sans the rumoured audacity
of the events deemed a necessity for reaching the chamber in question.
The storyline of the taelosian continent is beginning to unwreath itself, though
prior to actually participating in intricate lore, two further trials await.
During the clearing we were also lucky enough to pick up our first pieces with a 40%
damage increase focus, one ended in the hands of Frezzer, who somewhere in between
his sporadic linkdeaths actually managed to state an interest, and the second to Hoyas.
Also of interest, Haillon, the undisputed halfing king of aggro, had an epiphany
and miraculously enough bought spell casting subtlety 1 as of last night.
A gathering was held anew in Copenhagen two weekends ago, with high attendance
from both active and retired members, in what has been a trademark of our
guild, namely the social real life gatherings.
Through Taxa, our event coordinator, Jubii was willing to sponsor not only the
location, but also the beverages, yes you read that correctly, free beer, a
fact which even lured Yrgass out of his dormant existence in Sweden. Without
disclosing too many details, Yrgass most definitely left his mark with those
reponsible for cleaning post of the jovial occurrences Saturday evening.
On a sad note however, Taxa's reign of social events will be receding as real
life priorities have taken precedence. Faiar will be attempting to fill the
void, and I am certain many look forward with interest to what oddities might
occur in the near future.
Having merely attended one of Taxa's infamous events personally, it is still
my privilege to thank him on behalf of the guild for all the effort he has put
into planning and executing these gatherings.
As far as GoD is concerned, we have little of interest to report as of yet.
Apart from flagging most of our guild for Kod'Taz, the rest of the Taelosian
hemisphere is still under thorough investigation

For aproximately five months now, this page has been completely static,
primarily due to the fact that the recent expansion was possibly
one of the worst if not the worst to this date, though that is my
personal opinion, merely to underline.
Raiding activity has been somewhat feeble as of late, the once challenging
plane of time clearing has become all but routine, and currently occupies
from four to five hours once a week.
In lieu of the upcoming Gates of Discord expansion however, promising
new content in addition to way overdue alternate advancement abiLities
seem to have awakened the interest for many once again, thus attendance
is on the rise, and hopefully there will be new victories to report here
in the coming weeks, as I personally see little if no point to posting
a weekly Quarm story here.
Last but not least, what update would be complete sans some images and
a few random quotes. The first picture displays our strategy should Klavs
occasionally die during a plane of time clearing, and the second shows
the everlasting interest in the trailblazing lore.
What can only be described as the most variable time clearing as of yet, ended with
the slaying of Quarm tonight, concluding the planar progression for Raging Fury.
The first day commenced with barely stumbling through the initial trials. succeeding
with what could only have been 30 seconds worth of margin. The first challenge that
awaited within phase 4 was Tallon Zek, and despite several premature deaths, we
ended up victorious. Vallon Zek proved himself to be the challenge of phase 4 once again and promtply bested the guild three times in a row prior to us calling it a night.
On the second day however, the guild was all but revitalized as Vallon Zek died easily on the first attempt of the day, followed by a swift clearing of what remained in the fourth phase,in other words Terris Thule and Saryrn respectively.
The fifth wave was cleared in record time, Innoruuk fell sans troubles followed by a
flawless vanquish of Cazic Thule. The fight against Rallos Zek was reminiscent of our
first encounter with the god of war, and the night ended with Bertoxxulous being slain.
Quarm was in other words the sole challenge remaining within the plane of time for our third day, and having merely attempted the beast twice prior to today, expectations were high, tactics new and untested. As the fight endured and the first two heads dissipated, it seemed our tactic was working as intended, and belief that we would actually end up victorious spread throughout the raid force. Though close to 30% our maintank was slain, followed by a brutal genocide from Quarm's remaining duett.
A battle without comparison transpired the last two minutes, and nothing short of pure will and devotion secured the victory as Quarm was slain on the nights first attempt.
The following lore was obviously the highlight of the evening, though Citrua, Tingle and Yrgass walked away with a new shoulder, bracer and earring.
The last challenge within the planes of power has been completed prior to the release of the Lost Dungeons of Norrath, and hopefully there will be new challenges residing within the new expansion.
Innoruuk was the first deity to fall this evening, and thus all of the gods in phase five had been bested, though not during the same clearing. Eager to see the much anticipated lore... Cazic Thule fell next in a sub par performance.
In our prior update, Rallos Zek was somewhat humiliated and stamped as being the weakest opponent we had to far encountered in The plane of Time. The God of war was most definately out to prove otherwise tonight as he slaughtered us easily twice in a row, leaving the guild rather baffled considering how the previous meeting with this particular mob had ended.Third time is the charm though, and with Rallos Zek defeated, this time with his dignity intact, the following decay of Bertoxxulous opened up the gateway to the coalesced monstrosity of the planar deities, namely Quarm. Cudos to the god of war for his efforts!
Having reached the final encounter Everquest at its current stage has to offer, Quarm
was obviously given a test run, though surprisingly enough, no corpse shot as of yet.
Our attempt ended at 79%, in other words a work in progress.
Innoruuk was to find himelf the sole habitant of the fifth tier of time as Raging Fury
swept through three quarters of the deities on the same day.
Cazic Thule, second god to grace the face of Norrath was the first to fall, and minor
adjustments to our tactics from last nights attempts were more than sufficient to
secure a comfortable victory against the god of fear amid his auras and facless shrieks.
Ralloz Zek, sans his warlord title, was the next expected challenge, and to our surprise,
this encounter was, bar none, the easiest we have so far stumbled upon within the Plane
of Time. Planar transgression has obviously weakened the god of war, when compared to his
original state within the Plane of Tactics.
Last but not least, Bertoxxulous the god of disease had been given some interesting attributes
which made this fight one of the more enjoyable so far. Post an attempt experiencing area of
effects, Bertoxxolous fell on the second charge. Personally I was not present for the second
attempt, thus pictures are not available.
