Whirly: good to go

Our latest visit to Zul’Farrak was a bit sloppy at first. Mark lagged out about 4 groups in and, when he got back, he couldn’t see our group icons. We tried to reform the group with no luck, and had to start the instance over. We weren’t playing that well, but at 48 it wasn’t that hard anyway. We had no particular plan for the evening other than gaining experience. Once we reached the courtyard, it was clear we had to try the Sergeant Bly experience at the top of the stairs.

This would be our fourth attempt at this particular encounter, our first with these three toons, we’ve never succeeded before. We cleared the courtyard then the guy at the top of the steps, “Let the executions begin,” he yells. He drops a key that allows you to release Sergeant Bly and his buddies. A mass of folks show up at the bottom of the stairs beginning a huge fight. We didn’t have any plan on how to handle them as we’ve always failed. “Stick together,” was all we had. Odd we survived the first wave, second, the fight down the stairs and in the courtyard. Now, Bly turns on us and we have to kill him, though most of his friends ran off. Actually it didn’t seem that hard. Were we lower levels when we tried before? We are probably better equipped these days. Who knows why we succeeded, we were just pleased with our selves.

The gate is now open and we march up to visit Ruuzul and Chief Ukorz Sandscalp, this is all new to us. Two walkers on the ramp going up, Two alligator things at the top, plus another two walkers, who knows where from. Four big snake guys, we tried to pull two, but the other two came as well. Then Ruuzul and Ukorz. These were all hard fights each one a miracle we survived, but we did. Unfortunately, Ukorz didn’t drop the two hand sword Mark was looking for, he dropping a two hand axe instead.

We’d done so well we felt the need to try Antu’sul, the guy in the cave. We’ve never succeeded with Antu’sul either. He calls wave after wave of alligators and we’ve never gotten through them all, including this time. That punk.

We’ll probably move on to Maraudon instance next. It’s never been one of our favorites.

I was checking the auction house this morning when I got a /whisper from a stranger. “Want to do ZF?” Naa, already been done.
