Fordragon's Reprise has continued their streak this reset of punching very large giants in the goolies.

 The Council of Iron was our first stop and after figuring out the whole "this circle is good, this circle is bad" thing and eventually getting my butt off the floor from being dead, we downed the bug dwarven trio! Proper respect goes to Adrine for having a dual-spec that includes 4 interrupts.

 

We found a really awesome backroom that will unveil more secrets of Ulduar as we progress further into the dungeon. Notice our stellar campfire positioning. We were really psyched to start Hodir, obviously.

After that, we did our second bout with Kologarn. This was not noteworthy with the exception of our very first [Fragment of Val'anyr]! The decision to give the shards and eventual mace was a raid-wide decision but ultimately rested on our healers. Thusly, with much gnashing and flailing and self-flagellation, Gradar dutifully accepted the first of many shards that will ultimately give him a bigger ego mace.

A good portion of our time on Sunday was spent just figuring out the pull to the next boss, Auriaya. I suspect someone in the dungeon design department of Blizzard has a fetish or perhaps loathing of team-building exercises ('99) and therefore wanted us to down the boss only using immolation trap, our wits and some pipe cleaners. Thankfully, we all managed to learn to trust eachother, get line of sight and downed Auriaya. She doesn't shave, by the way, as Nellenya found out.

 

Last but not least, this Monday, we knocked out Hodir, much to our surprise, since we still have trouble even getting to the boss in question. This boss is a stone cold bitch. Man. Stone cold man. 
Thing. Titan.

Yet another screenshot where the boss isn't even in the picture. No one's going to believe us now, guys.

Grats to Adrine and Fellina for our first raid tier 8 chestpieces!
