Naxxaramas and some souls, -Mula

Monday, I was hanging around in Dalaran to see if anyone needed some help with Icecrown Citadel, and I heard that someone was looking for some help in Naxxaramas. So, being that I'd never been there before (apart from a couple weekly assignments), I signed up, and talked Aracna into coming, as well. She said she was dress shopping, but could go hat shopping in Naxxaramas. We made quick work of the critters running around and ran into Anub'Rekhan. He's very buggy and he summons bugs and spits out bugs. We stomped him good. We went along and ran into Grand Widow Faerlina and her cronies. She went down quickly. Finally we came to Maexxna, a big...no huge...ginormous red, yellow and black spider. (Lladywolf, you would have been terrified!) We, splattered it's guts all over the place.

We moved on to the construct quarter. We made quick work of Patchwork. Moved on to Grobbulus (a very strange individual) and took him out. We went on to Gluth. I was concerned that we'd have some trouble with the big pooch, because by this time, Aracna had left and if someone didn't slow the zombiechow from getting to Gluth, we'd have some trouble killing him since the zombiechow healed him up. I helped keep the zombies away from him, and we succeeded in killing him. We came up to Thaddius. He's got two guys on these platforms that we had to kill at the same time. The we had to jump over to the platform that Thaddius was on. I've heard it could be a difficult jump. I got a running start and leapt...and didn't quite make it. Several other people didn't make it, as well. We had to give it another go, since Thaddius used this to his advantage. We took out his buddies, again. This time, the priest made it easier for me and the others in our group and we landed on the platform. At this point, things get electrifying. I swear my hair was standing on end. I got struck hard and had to be revived. We ended up draining his battery dry...or smashing it to pieces.

We, came upon the Plague quarter. At this point we lost one of our dps, so I asked the guild if anyone wanted to come and Anca said she would. She came on to help take out Noth the plaguebringer and his skeleton friends. We came upon Heigan the unclean and after bathing in his acid baths the first time, danced him to his grave. After, Heigan, Loatheb was a breeze.

We had a little trouble the first time with Instructor Razuvious in the Military quarter, but caught on quick and ended up teaching HIM the lesson. Gothik the Harvester was next. We harvested him with ease. The Four horsemen, Sir Zeliek, Thane Korth'azz, Lady Blaumeux, and Baren Rivendare, I thought would give us a challenge, but we coordinated our efforts to beat them by splitting them up and taking 'em out one by one.

I was feeling very giddy by this time. And even though we were all very tired by this point, we decided to give the rest of the dungeon a go. We entered Sapphiron's chilly lair and were greated by the boney dragon. Well, we were greeted by it's frosty breath and sharp teeth and claws. We hid behind ice blocks and chipped away at the dragon until we could chip away no more.

We moved into the throne room where, Kel'Thuzad was waiting for us. He was finishing a conversation with the Lich King when we entered. At this point, he started sending his minions after us. We cut through the ranks and finally the lich decided to fight us with his own two hands. We were cutting him down and noticed that he was starting to sweat. He makes a quick call to the Lich King asking for help. The Lich King pretty much told him he was too busy, and sent a couple of Crypt Lords to join the fight. Seeing the panic on his face we doubled our efforts and started pushing him back. Next thing we knew, he on the ground and his "puppies" retreated to safer ground. And there was much rejoicing!

On a side note: I was back in Icecrown Citadel with my bidding buddies last night. This time I actually had 1700 gold to potentially spend. There was a ring that dropped, but the bidding went up to 3k, but no matter. Most importantly, I collected the 1000 souls needed for Shadow's edge. And I have to say, it was due to the fact that we wiped while trying to heal Valithria Dreamwalker. If we'd been successful, I would never have gotten the needed souls last night. Now comes the hard part. But, I'll tell you about that on a later date.
