As we closed up the week we had fun with trash, learned that North is right, East is right, West is North, and that dogs see through stealth *cough* levee *cough* And every melee wants to get one of those bitchen lightsaber swords that was being hucked at our ranged.

I gotta say any boss where agro isn’t an issue at all ever, is like… wow heh.  Akama concludes the easy loot vendor bosses, but Teron will be down shortly as during our attempts last night for the first time, he was seen stealing Eld’s twinkies, and making comments about Griftar’s and Daeros’ sisters.

Ater a short weekend break from raiding spent mostly hoarding up enough honor for our Archi trinkets, Exile’s back at it again. This time around, it’s the demonic lard-ass Azgalor who succumbs to our combined might. From one fatty to another, bud, you just don’t got what it takes.

Taken right before Azgalor’s bloated corpse spewed black vomit over the raid. Or did I have another accident? The world may never know.

y halo thar, arhnicmon!!@1

After a quick Kael’thas one-shot and some fun in Mount Hyjal the night previous, Exile was finally able to obtain enough keys for Black Temple to say hello to the first few friends of Illidan. The result? Well, they died.

Najentus was first on the meet & greet list. I’ll say, he’s got a nasty way of telling you he likes you: throwing a piece of himself at you, so that you can kill him. Quite thoughtful, really. The poor guy must not have realized we’ve already killed his master, Lady Vashj, because he wouldn’t shut up about her. O welz!

Eldreth: “AHHH! AHHHH! I CAN’T MOVE! GET THIS THING OUT OF ME!”

After Najentus bit it, Exile explored the outer-most courtyard of Illidan’s home. Hosts of orcs, flying dragons and non-fearing fearful demons were quickly dispatched. It wasn’t long before we stumbled across the fluffy, hulking form of Supremus. I was quickly reminded of a quote from my childhood, thanks to one of the 80’s great cinematic masterpieces.

Dr. Peter Venkman: What did you DO, Ray?
Winston: Oh, shit!
[they all see a giant cubic white head topped with a sailor hat, Peter looks at Ray]
Dr. Ray Stantz: [somberly] It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Flaming marshmellow goodness bent on wreaking havoc, demonic volcano-tossing giant blue things- what’s the difference! They all die. Makes me wonder what Stay Puft marshmallow men drop for loot.

It’s a shame Supremus doesn’t leave a sticky, tasty aftermath coating the entire area upon death, like his counter-part.

Illidan, here we come?

Getting it after one-shotting him your first time facing him, with only 22 people in the raid.

After some sage advice from Farna, “Don’t die, just stay alive and do dps as you can in phase four!” Everyone let out a collective… Ohhhh yah and Kael died immediately afterwards.

So after a couple weeks of work we’ve finally past the last gate to Hyjal and Black Temple. On our fourth attempt of the night with about 4-5 people dead Kael’thas fell to Exile for the first time. I want to thank everyone for the hard work and focus they have put into the fight over the past few weeks. It’s finally paid off.

With Kael’thas now dead and 25 raiders with their shiny new Vials we quickly ran over to get our first taste of Hyjal. Around a hour after our Kael’thas kill we were now looking at this:

It should be noted that Ghouls look significantly different then the Abominations. Something our GM had issues with last night and repeatedly tried to attack poor little ghouls much to the mocking of the rest of the dps.

With Rage Winterchill down and several people now Black Temple attuned along with 30 minutes left in our raid night we decided to push on to Anetheron, couldn’t hurt to give him a quick try right? Our first attempt wasn’t all that hot, we wipe at about 50%. With the end of the night fast approaching we rush back in for a final shot at him:

I’d like to thank everyone in Exile for the extremely hard work you’ve all put in over the months getting us to the point where we are now. We’d also like to thank villain for giving us a nice bit of motivation to really push it that extra bit. Some friendly competition always helps. We’ll see you guys at Illidan!
