Tougher than we thought, -by Mula

So, we were back. This time the group was very well geared...as was the last time we went in. We faced the Lich King, and I must admit, it was a tough fight. We made several attempts, but were unable to succeed. I can only proclaim my gratitude to my fellow raiders and guild members; they have been patient and are dedicated to helping me and Melikar obtain our title for killing the Lich King. I am much more comfortable with what I need to do and am much appreciative of the guidance that is given throughout the fight. I am certain that we will succeed. We got so close to beating him. But then he started summoning angry spirits, and he sent me into a different realm where I had to defeat some being or spirit of some sort, I beat it, but when I came around I found that I had died. We also had a couple of attempts that just ended up to bad luck. There was one time I got snatched up by a valkyre and dropped over the edge. Most of the other times I died by taking too much damage. And one time, after the leader said to wipe it, I just jumped off the side of the platform. :)

Flinttooth is doing well. He's got himself a pet to help him out on his hunt! He's growing stronger every day! I'm so proud of him. :)

50th post, and Mula's got a boyfriend! -Mula

Yes, you heard correctly. I've got a beau and his name is Flinttooth! He's a hunter, and while, at first, he thought I was taller than him, it turns out that it was only my armor that made me look larger than him. He is from one of the neighboring clans and was very helpful when the attacks happened. I only just found out recently that he survived and I rushed out to Mulgore the moment I heard. He's decided to venture out into the world and I couldn't be more proud of him!

Hello, Mr. Lich King, -Mula

Yes, indeed. Thanks to the guidance of Donazon (I hope I spelled his name right!), we were able to beat Sindragosa and meet the Lich King. We fought him a couple of times, but he kept beating us down. We actually did pretty well the second time, but then he brought out his valkyries and causing the defile to get really big. I had trouble with getting away from the group when he put defile on me. I personally have no way of sprinting out of the way, and I tend to move slower than the other races. I have decided to start moving out sooner, when I see that he's about to cast it, just to make sure that I don't mess things up for the rest of the group.

Honestly, I'm just glad we were able to kill Sindragosa. And I will review the documented fights again, just to make sure that there is nothing I'm missing. Actually, I was trying to see if Totalbiscuit had put anything up about experience with the Lich King, but it seems that he has been posting things of future events. I find these posts intriguing, but as far as when they will occur is another story indeed.

A little less aggrivation a little more action please, -Mula

And by that I mean, I gotta stop pulling mooks off the tank. Just got through a round at Icecrown citadel, and I found that I was behaving more like a noob then a professional. But what can you do? It's been eons since I've fought Sindragosa. And the last time I did fight her, it was with 24 other people. I was catching on after a while, though. I just hope they don't hate me forever for being such a 'tard.

Unfortunately, we didn't get past her this time around. I guess they usually try to finish things up on Mondays, so we'll see. I fear that we don't have enough damage goin' against her, and I've only just figured out the debuffs in the last phase. Learnin' from mistakes is the key. And patience. Let's hope.

Arrrrrrrr Righty then! - Squigvicious

Yarr! Nothin' like becoming a pirate. So, now I'm a goblin who's transformed into a gnome who's been transformed into a pirate. Sheesh.

Been helpin' them elves up on that Quel'danas island. Went with a group of folks and took out this big ugly lookin' guy. Came right up and out of the Sunwell. I got some sweet gear and now the baddies are just dropping like flies.

I think my true feelings are starting to come out. Or should I say, I'm starting to lose my patience being stuck in a gnome's body. With the knowledge that I've gained about the pending attacks against the Horde, my tolerance for the Alliance is going down greatly. I was with a group in Utgarde Keep, and the the tank died on the second pull. And then these big guys start coming after me. So, what do I do? I vanish. Then the group wipes. And they have the gall to get mad at me when I start complaining. I left after that. The tank couldn't even hold aggro on the guy he was attacking primarily. So, I got mad and started complaining. I know, I know, wasn't very mature of me, but Boy OH Boy did it feel GOOD!

Cataclysm Poetry

Cataclysm is coming
(to the tune of "Christmas is coming")

Cataclysm is coming,
The gnome is getting fat.
Please put a silver
In my engineer's sack.
If you haven't got a silver
then a copper will have to do;
If you haven't got a copper
then I'm comin' after you.

Woe to the world
(to the tune of "Joy to the World")

Woe to the world
for deathwing's come
the earth be ripped to shreads
Let every heart
cower in fear
and gnomes and night elves scream
and gnomes and night elves scream
and gnomes and gnomes and night elves scream.

The gnome just got run over by a wargen
(To the tune "Grandma just got run over by a reindeer")

The gnome just got run over by a wargen
Walking home from Stormwind, Cataclysm eve
You can say there's no such thing as Wargen,
But us orcs and tauren, we do believe.
He was drinkin' too much Kungaloosh,
And we swear, we told him not to go,
But he forgot his medication, and he
staggered out the door.
When we found him Cataclysm morning,
at the scene of the attack
He had paw prints on his forehead
and incriminating claw marks on his back

Now we're all so pround of Gorgatsuya
He's been handling this just fine
He's not laughing at the scene, only
drinking lager with Mula
and gettin' ready to dine.
It's not Cataclysm without the gnome,
The Alliance is dressed in black
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we have a cry also, or just
pat each other on the back?
Pat on the back!!

Now the hog is on the table
and the stuffing made last night
And the green pines in the center
that would have matched
the hair on the gnome just right.
I've warned all my
friends and guildies
Better watch out for hairy beasts.
Lets go enlist the goblins
and for now we'll enjoy our feast!

Northrend here I come, - Squigvicious

That's right baybee! I'm a 3 foot pack of hot nails comin' atcha! I may be broke. I may be stuck in a gnome body. I may be a little bit on the crayzie side. But I got my goggles and my knives and I got a whole lot o' mischieviousness comin' atcha! Oh. And once I get my flamethrower made, maybe - maybe not, I'll be thawin' out the locals...unless I can get some cobalt bombs goin'.

Aaand on another note. I should have known better. I mean. Got into a group in a random dungeon with someone from Blackrock. And, I should have known that the group was going to fail. Especially when this person was complaining 2 minutes into the dungeon. To his credit, we almost made it to the first boss. But...eventually he left. Which was great...but then the tank left after a few minutes of waiting and then the rest of us left. Honestly, the guy sucked at healing. So, it was no big loss. :D
