Glory of the Icecrown Raiiiiiiiiiiiii-duuuuuuuuurrrrrrr 25

After all the hardmodes (11 out of 12, baby!) and achievements, the one we really struggled with was Neck Deep in Vile. Who knew that "pushing the buttons" harder would have worked?
Congrats to everyone in Fordragon's Reprise for their hard work on this achievement, we can now ride bone dragons. (Hahaha, I said "bone.")

Blessing of the Ancient Kings

Powerful acidic content theoretically found inside the being Yogg-Saron would count for the liquefaction of Saronite. Submersion in this substance might be sufficient to rebind an alloy of titan origin.

And so we travelled deep into Yogg-Saron's lair, the shattered fragments of Val'anyr in hand, with only 3 Wardens to guide us. And Yogg'Saron let out a deafening roar, and Gradar hurled the fragments into the beast's fluttering maws. There was a wailing and a gnashing of teeth, and we only had three lights to guide us from insanity.

Three Lights in the Darkness

In the end, it was over. And it was silent. And in the miasma of the fallen god, there lay the shards, glowing with their own power. Calming. Serene. Gradar knelt and picked them up in his gauntleted hands, the light reflecting cooly against the metal of his armor. We knew what we had to do - bring the reforged shards to the dwarves in the Archivum.

Running to the archivum.
And in the end, Gradar received the highest trophy of the Titans: Val'anyr, Hammer of the Ancient Kings. He had the power to restore his peers with health and vitality, and restore those who had once felt the touch of death. (AND IT BUBBLES!)
Gradar, with his hammer

Congrats to Gradar on his legendary mace, and congratulations to Fordragon's Reprise on their Three Lights kill! In true GoG tradition, we will be kicking Gradar out and having the mace take his raid slot now that we have a decent healer in his place.

Nuke It From Orbit...! (Part 1 of 4)

It's the only way to be sure!

Tonight we accomplished something great. You might call them "hard modes" but we here at Fordragon's Reprise like to call them, "slightly difficult modes". Ulduar has many of these "ascending implausibility" modes and we shall conquer them one by one.

Flame Leviathan in particular has four - each corresponding to how many towers are left standing before engaging the boss. Ultimately we had to dissuade Weazey from his obsession with leaving the four tall, Titan-sized, rock hard...structures all upright and in the end, three were left flaccid. Interrupting flame jets was perilious but we succeded!

 And so we have an excuse for another screenshot. EXPECT MORE!

 

 

Also, XT-002 trash can suck a fat one!
