Librarians

The Brood, all freshly mounted on chickens, kodo and skeletons, and levelled to 30, plunged into the Scarlet Monastery Library Wednesday night. Haxrot once again Pally swapped for Xantir, along with the regular gang of Dawnsinger, Denmonther, Judelder and Haelo.

The extra level or two made all the difference in the first corridor, as we managed to allow Den to maintain agro whilst laying on the DPS thick and fast. Jud still had some work to do to keep the sheeps baa-ing, but a smooth drive took us out into the first courtyard without respawns getting us from behind again. Haxrot also started working as offtank, which went nicely thanks to Dawn's healing prowess. And Haelo was able to unleash volleys of arcane shots and stings without fear of Scarlet retribution.

The first Boss we encountered was Houndmaster Loksey, who posed a challenge due to his pack of dogs & our relative lack of CC. Den tanked a couple, Hax another, a sheep and we were gtg. On our first attempt we got pretty dang close, before Dawn ran OOM and Hax's desparate off healing couldn't quite get us through. Hax actually ended up as last man standing, but couldn't quite finish off the boss before the last hound desheeped and wiped us.

Back in we ventured, and we did have to reclear this time due to respawns. But the second time around was a piece of cake, as we focussed on the dogs first, before turning all DPS to the boss. Down he went, and Dawn picked up the funky Dog Whistle.

We drove on, making mincemeat of our foe, and arrived Arcanist Doanbefore too long. He was on his own, and despite being a 35 Elite, it was a One Shot.

Another lovely run for the Brood - despite being underpowered, some excellent leadership from Den and good team cohesion made for another successful night out. Armory & Cathederal next...
