Despite being woefully out-numbered, the warriors of Legions pulled together the rag-tag group of artisans, potters and craftsmen left in the border town of Hyjal for a desparate last stand against the might of the dread Rage Winterchill:

Needless to say, his reign of terror was short lived.

The Battle for Mount Hyjal is joined!

Loot:

Deadly Cuffs - Grats Ashuri
Cuffs of Devastation - Grats Tempestra

Dumb Quotes

I wanted this guild to get some culture. They needed to hear some real music instead of this “Fallout Boy” and “Simple Plan” and whatever else keeps making our resto druids go emo on us. So we worked hard on our Tempest Keep paper route, scrimping and saving, and finally, we could afford tickets to the show of the century: KAEL’THAS AND THE DIRTY FOUR:

Not pictured: Grand Astromancer Capernian. I got her off in a corner and “off-tanked” her for most of the night. Just when the show started to drag on, Kael went insane and did a mind-blowing solo, literally blowing the roof off the venue. Unfortunately, I think it was drug-induced, as when it was over:

In truth, this was both the hardest and the most fun fight we’ve experienced so far in TBC. Its one of the few fights I actually look forward to doing again even having beat it once. We’re quite excited to start exploring Hyjal and beyond, but we’ll certainly be back to TK to party with Kael again.

Loot was pretty nice:

Twinblade of the Phoenix - Grats Abssinthe
Crown of the Sun - Grats Bensbank (imperial storm trooper)
Robe of the Corruptor - Grats Malloc
Robes of Tirisfal - Grats Animosity
Lord Sanguinar’s Claim - Grats Pyram

Dumb Quotes

Solarian wasn’t a very impressive boss. Definitely not Wheaties box material. Maybe the next best thing…

With THESE GUYS on the job, how could we lose? Thanks to everyone who chipped in materials or crafting ability to get that AR made.

Loot was about what you’d expect from a second-string starter on the breakfast lineup:

Boots of the Resilient - Grats Vulcann
Girdle of the Righteous Path - Grats void crystal

Dumb, and Increasingly Gay Quotes

We walked into TK tonight with a skeleton crew, unsure of our chances at doing anything tonight. A few minutes later, and we had a dead phoenix at our feet. We tried to loot the corpse, but we couldn’t. While we were in the middle of writing an angrygram to the GMs:

And just like that, Al’ar had soulstoned up, and he was none too happy to learn we weren’t there to run circles around his big room and play “catch the flame quills.” Luckily, we know how to fight fire with fire, and we beat him at his own game:

Since we’d already killed him once, the final kill was pretty anticlimactic. As was the loot:

Band of Al’ar - Grats Holyphoebes
Arcanite Steam-Pistol - Grats Discofurbys (WTB hunters)
