WoW: We win
Two hours spend in Wailing Caverns with only two challenges. Well, one actually. It took us two attempts to get it right. We took out Lord Pythas for the first time. What a fight. Pythas, a Druid, some “thing”, plus an add on our first try.
The plan, sheep the Druid and take Lord Pythas first. That didn’t work. The add didn’t help, but it wasn’t going well even before that. Pythas had two of us sleeped at once. Two thirds of our group out for 15 seconds, not good. Our second attempt worked much better. Sheep Pythas and do the Druid first. Mark had us move behind the mobs to eliminate walking adds. The Druid and “thing” took all of my healing mana, but Mike kept Pythas sheeped till I was full mana. He wasn’t special without his friends. We were with friends and special.
It felt like quite an accomplishment taking that group. Mark and I worked them for a couple of weeks with, 24ish characters, while Mike was on vacation, and never succeeded. Doing it with three level 20s felt, might I say, uber? No?
We’ve one boss left, Lord Serpentis. He’s deep in the instance. I’m not sure we can get to him within our two-hour limit. Although the normal mobs aren’t much of a challenge, they are still work and require time to best. Higher level will allow us to work through faster. If I had a crystal ball, I’d see Wailing Caverns in our future. Or a fortune cookie, You will travel underground soon.
