Audience with the Guardian

It's been a while since I had a chance to play. The scheduled run to BoneSnapper got re-targeted because of the good turn-out. Maybe we should have stuck with the seafood plans...
Check the raid window for the names of the folk who kept us in the zone so we could try this a couple times!!! It was an amazing bit of group effort.

I got a chance to get this panoramic view of the inside of the instance while I was knee deep in dragon snot and dead guildies. .Sorry I died in a bad spot to catch a good screenshot of the dragon. I guess we have to go back for another

deltazed does dragon duel

MoA is done!

Here is a screenshot from right before the final duel. It was hard to find a place big enough to get positioned for a picture. I had problems getting through the doorways and up the ramp because I was HUGE. I left the ScreenSpam on so you could see my new "Distinguished" title. I got screenshots from the duel as well, but they are full of screen-spam from the long and too-close final battle.



I think MoA was one of the first KoTS era guild-level efforts I really enjoyed. I was close enough to 70 to play most of it together with the guild mains on the first or second walk through. When RL interrupted my schedule for a while, I cam back to the 5th or 6th run-through and the job was done. There are obviously advantages to being in a large active guild when you want to get through some of the harder quests.

I'll admit I tend to avoid the longer quests, but if more of them resulted in necklaces like this I'd reconsider.

Who let the dragon out...

Now that's a target!



Here we are, taking a moment to soak it all in as we come face to face with a "capital D" dragon. It's one heck of a view. This was the first time in for most of us.

I took a break before we started fighting to pose. This is a BIG place.

It took 3 or 4 attempts to get the dragon positioned over the moat where we were hiding, then it went down fairly fast. 3 big dragons in 3 days was quite the task..





This was quite a crew. Kudos to all.



A Special Thanks to the KoTS folks who allowed us to join in this raid. Taking Tarinax down was a major effort and we really worked well together. In fact, we were done so fast we had time for another run in our Saturday afternoon.

3 trips to the mender later...

Yes, that's a dead dragon.

This one was very stubborn and took me three trips to complete. All of a sudden everything clicked and we were left standing around wondering how it could have been so hard. I had some time to take a couple pix of this trophy. I can't confim the date against the guild forum posts yet, but it is definately a SoD/KoTS group.
