Welcome To Our Web-Site!
Hi all,
Well, The Guardians of Valour completed our very first dungeon raid yesterday, on the Runnyeye Citadel. A good time was had by most, although there was a little too much dieing going on for most peoples' tastes. We had two full teams of 6 each, camping the Goblin Knight spawn on L2.
We got one Black Iron Bastard Sword off the knight, and Tumestone won the roll for it. Congrats Tumestone!
Some of the Highlight(in my mind) were:
1) Clearing the Knight for the first time. This was an epic battle where there were 8-12 goblins and a full complement of 12 GoVs locked in mortal combat. Spells were Flying, Tanks were hacking away at Gob Casters, and green corpses littered the floor of the dungeon after the dust had settled. WOOT! ( side note, a guy, Nexus, actually came into the dungeon to buy a stien of moggok off me)
2)Killing the Eye. After camping the knight room for a short time, Group 2 got cocky and decided to go after the Evil Eye on L2. The EE, backed up by a Gob. Shaman, Quickly killed or routed our whole group, then killed or routed all of Group 1, and then trained up to the 1st level and parked right by the Gorge Zone entrance. It took us a good hour to get organized enough to counterattack. Mat, Rin, Tura, Gil, Aleena and Ashden finally formed aup at the Gorge zone and all zoned in together to attack the eye. Mat died valiantly, but our other tanks were able to finish the job. WOOT!
3) Corpse Running. In betwenn episodes 1 and 2, there was much diein as we attempted to run past the Eye to get our corpses. Thanks to all who risked lives to pull corpses from L2 to zones. I think it was Rin who risked his life to train the Eye from the Gorge zone to the Misty zone for awhile, allowing many of us to get our corpses. Woot Rin!
I personally had a blast, despite dieing 3x that day. I say without exxaggeration that this was the single funnest day of my EQ life. Looking forward to more raids with the Guardians!
