Darkfall

I am pleased! Very very pleased! Viljo and Kuan just got out of Karazhan. They are now friendly with the Violet Eye. The group had cleared all the necessary bosses previously, so we cleared trash and made our way to the Prince. It wasn't a bad group, our first attempt, with Kuan locked out, we got the Prince to 47%, but then we had an unfortunate knockback into infernals of the tank. The second attempt an infernal landed on all the enfeebled people. *sigh* And then our healer had to go to bed. But Kara! We've run it!

All of this has happened because last Tuesday Viljo was whispered by Hazemaker, a priest we'd run heroic Bot with. Out of the blue, as Viljo and Kuan were breaking eggs in Skettis, Hazemaker asked if I wanted to join a late night raiding guild. I asked what time and days, and we talked to their raid leader. I told him that Kuan and Viljo came as a pair. Dracon found out that Leif (a former NI member) was there, we mentioned his name and he vouched for us. (He's an excellent player, and happens to be their Kara off-tank.) This took a little too long so by the time we'd figured out that we might as well, because worst case they are asses and we go back to Ancestor Cult, the people who could invite had logged off.

So for the rest of the week we farmed up some gear improvements. Mystic spellthread for both of us. A battleground chestpiece for Kuan, and a badge of justice neck for Viljo.

Yesterday the guild leader was on and invited us in, at Leif's reminder. So we joined Darkfall. We ran a part guild pug of BM yesterday, and then a very very smooth guild run of Heroic Mech today before the Kara run. I'd not previously had the pleasure of running Mech with a priest and warlock. The fears just make Pathaleon go down so smoothly, despite the fact that our tank hadn't run heroic mech at all previously.

So whee! new guild!
