Bow to your Queen!

How does it feel to be Queen?
Valkaryie took the throne of the Dark Iron Dwarves after killing their king, while other members took the seats at the bottom..... Bow to your queen!
Toolittle had to leave early so was not included in the shot.



Shoo however, was wearing the goggles from the Bear Festival, and THIS is what she is seeing.....
Silly drunken goggles.......



This is another one of Shoo's toys. The Spectral Tiger. Extremely rare.


Another first for Phaia, her guild had finally been able to kill Gruul the Dragonkiller.
The boss is quite fun, he will smash the ground and throw everyone in a random direction, then slow their speed. When their speed is reduced to be unable to move, all the players will turn to stone and Gruul will smash the ground again.
All the players will then explode and hurt everyone around them.
This makes for a fun fight where players frantically run for safety after being thrown and before being slowed.
To add to this, Gruul will make the roof cave in, and will grow in size periodically. With enough growths, Gruul can 1-hit kill even the tank, so all the players need to work fast!

Just some updates

Another long time without an update. Yes I'm lazy.
So first, let's see some pretty ladies!!



Here you see Valkaryie, Kamisu and Kotona standing in the Plaguelands, waiting for Toolittle and Shoo to join us and start an attack on the school of black magic, Scholomance.
While waiting, we decided to put on our best dresses and show who's prettier!
Thanks to Kotona for making me that dress :)

On the other side, Phaia and her guild has finally accomplished a milestone, by killing Netherspite and can finally claim that we have completely cleared all 10 bosses of Karazhan!



This optional boss was the only one that the guild could not beat in Karazhan before.
The fight is really fun too, with 3 different coloured portals that shoot a beam of light at the boss. Each second the light is hitting the boss, he gets stronger and stronger. The strategy? Use people to block off the beams!!
However, players blocking the beam gets a buff but also a drawback, so it becomes essential to have people rotate in and out of the beams to block them while not being too damaged by the drawbacks.
It gets a bit chaotic sometimes, but it is a really fun fight :)

Since we're in the mood for dragon-killing, here's some more dragon slaying pics.

Through an event during a quest, you can see the origins of Nightbane.
Originally called Arcanagos, the blue dragon confronted Medhiv (the guy that openned the Dark Portal, remember?) because of the dangerous experiments Medhiv was conducting in his tower.
After you watch a battle between a dragon and the most powerful mage in the world, Arcanagos tries to fly away but is horribily burnt by Medhiv's magic and crashes into the mountains.
This is many many years ago.



Now when the player completes a series of quests and gets the required item, they are able to awaken the fallen dragon.
Hey, somethings flying towards us!
Hmmm.... it looks..... different from before.....



Arcanagos, now known as Nightbane, has become an undead dragon and is another optional boss of Karazhan. Ah well, it's not going to survive against us! :p
