On Tuesday 24th November we took a team to take down the Watcher. This was a boss that we felt we had to drop especially with the new expansion coming and the level increase. We wanted to do it before it became trivial to even try!

Congratulations to Haneth and Jumalanna on their new items

House Trophy

We continued from where we left off last time, Az. We began with Davespice addressing the team to explain where we were up to and what the mission was.

The Ranger (+Diocletian) Arrived promptly and off we travelled, the plan was to head for Lothlorien. to deliver a long awaited message. The journey was not to be easy, we tried to pass quietly through however, stealth was not to be and were soon set upon by many Burning grims

As we travelled through the Redhorn Lodes we were set upon by Hundreds of hungry Gredbyg. They were soon polished off. I’ll leave you with a few action shots of the event.

Once were got close to the exit of Moria we were set upon by a large group of Trolls and their Leader

Finally out of Moria under the Moonlight +Diocletian was safe to continue on his own. He wished us all a safe journey and was gone.

I feel as though I should end this post with an apology to Mekki, who was unfortunately passing us via goat whilst we were in action and spent his time stuck running on the spot - Sorry Mekki!

Another Trip to Dar Narbugud, and another take down of Istum. I feel we finally have the hang of this zone now and it’s first few bosses. I think we need to arrange some additional raid time to concentrate on the Blind One and the Mistress.

On the 23rd August 2009, we killed the Trolls in DN. Congratulations Divine Legend, let the upgrades roll in

Since then we have been back a few times a week and are slowly gearing up our characters. This week we have killed Flagit, Zholuga and Istum.

A dead Flagit

Istum, just before Death

Sorry for the poor quality pictures, it’s hard healing and trying to get decent shots with my UI still switched on!!

On Tuesday we are going to meet The Blind One for the First time Fingers Crossed!

Well done Team, we are making great progress.

This was the second GM assisted Custom Kin Event (24 man) organised by Davespice and was a huge success. Thank you Davespice for taking the time to organise this. The Event started in Echad Dunnan, with Davespice addressing the Kin before the Ranger (GM) arrived.

Ranger +Diocletain arrived and lead us through The Black Pool and into Moria

A series of epic battles unfolded within Moria, as it was impossible to sneak Ranger +Diocletain through unseen

Everything came to a climax just outside of Anazarmekhem where we had to defeat Mukbroz, a Moria Troll and his group of trolls and goblins

Finally we came to rest in Anazarmekhem, where Ranger +Diocletain declared we should head for a beer and much needed rest

Until next time when the adventure continues….

Another trip to the Turtle this week - previously we used the burglar enrage technique but due to Book 8 changes we had to change our strat - managed to drop him first time no problems

No spectacular loot to report, the turtle did drop the coin for the helm which completed Eddah’s 6 pieces of armour! Congrats Eddah

Yet another trip to the Turtle and tonight he gave us 2 First Age Weapons,  a First for DL we have been quite unlucky so far!

Congratulations to Beleghunter on the Hunter Weapon.

Congratulations Kin Chest on the Guardian Weapon.

Another trip to the Turtle tonight, only to find they have changed the lock out timer to 7 days - ARGGH!
Anyways still managed to drop him in a ball of fire.

Loots today were not all that impressive, several XP Runes/Settings.  Best Item was a Second aged weapon:

Congrats DaveSpice

Congrats ME!  On this Recipe… Which i promptly made into a beautiful Burglar Bracelet!

After much hard work from the kin and server opening the Strange Happenings event we decided to trek down there and have a peep.  the Turtle was as you can expect in rather a foul mood…

We soon put a stop to his grumpy mood…..

Congrats to Pealik on the Kin’s first 1st age weapon!

Grats Kin Chest on this

Congrats Donthalion on some new shoulders

The Strange Happenings Raid, also known as the Turtle raid, was opened on the Snowbourn Server tonight at 18:27GMT. Good work to all those who participated in opening the event, was great to be there at the end watching the final countdown
