Two BT Bosses Down, Seven to Go!

Last night, Ascent stepped through a tiny crack in the side of the Black Temple, and into a world filled with... more naga. /boggle Luckily, weeks of survival training in SSC had almost prepared us for the onslaught. First order of business was to ensure we knew the path back from the graveyard.

Unfortunately, one member failed this test and had to be replaced. From there we plugged our noses with netherweave wads and continued up through the sewer system. Monsters of various sizes fell before our elite damage dealers until we reached... High Warlord Naj’entus!

After a few tries and the addition of MOAR HEALERS!!! we defeated the giant sewage crustacean! Where's the melted butter??

A room full of height-challenged green things and 6 bugged out dragons later, we made our way to Supremus' front lawn. I have to say it was impressive, but he may want to schedule some regular waterings.

After a few tries, Supremus, the giant Kool Aid man, was defeated. (Compliments to Evidicus for the analogy, since fighting the Kool Aid guy is much less scary than facing a huge elemental that loves nothing more than pounding in your face.)

Last night was tons of fun and thanks to everyone that stuck with learning two new bosses. /cheer

One-Shotting a New Boss FTW

Last night, in a surprise turn of events, Ascent killed Kaz'rogal on their very first attempt. Witnesses at the scene seemed both excited and relieved. When asked about the fight, a young rogue farted loudly then ran off in search of a new boss, a shaman yelled "HAH" then pointed wildly to the right, and a tauren warrior repeatedly roared with beastial vigor. So there you have it, folks - straight from the raiders' mouths.

Two Bosses Down in One Night

Last night was one of those really great raiding nights you rarely come across: One-shotting a recently downed boss (Kael'thas), then defeating 2 brand new bosses in a new instance! Ascent downed Rage Winterchill on the second attempt and Anetheron on the third.

Excellent job and congrats to everyone that got loot! Tonight we'll be heading back to Mount Hyjal for another night of win!

Kael Defeated! Onto Hyjal!!

Tonight Ascent downed Kael'thas Sunstrider, Lord of the Blood Elves. This was the culmination of many weeks work, and just in time to convert our Kael Blitz Week into Hyjal Blitz Week!

Thanks to everyone that stuck out the full consumables wipe nights. The attitude was always upbeat and everyone worked together to figure out exactly what it would take for us to win. Excellent job and congrats!

Here's some picts of the action plus a wide screenie (right click and select Open in New Window).
