Brooding in Wailing Caverns

The Brood - Denmother, Dawnsinger, Haelo, Judelder & Xantir - ran their second instance last night, taking on the might of Wailing Caverns after a successful RFC run. Tales of raptors, slime, mighty druidic foe, and huge shambling horrors prepared us for the worst as we stood on the cusp of the descent - resplendent in the Guild Tabard.


Denmother led again, taking the party of 18th and 19th levels deep into the bowels of the Caverns. Drawing agro like a champion (except when Xantir's Paladinic "bravery" meant he couldn't help himself), and only taking a few wrong turns (thankfully Dawnsinger knew the route), it was another genius lead as once again we had zero deaths. Two in a row - one more and Denmother will be the recipient of the coveted (and as yet unawarded) Warmaster Triumph - "given to any guild member who leads three consecutive successful instance runs without wipes against foes of the correct level bracket".


Not that there weren't a few hiccups...Judelder had several near death experiences (and again saved everyone via carefully timed sheeping), and Haelo managed to run out of arrows 3/4 of the way in. A melee Hunter is not a pretty sight - at least her pet Splinter did an admirable job off-tanking. Dawnsinger again balanced keeping everyone alive, other than than when she was asleep and the time she<cough>fell down the ravine<cough>. Xantir was bestowed with the Snakeslayer epithet after taking down every (first level) snake he saw with a single fell swoop of his very mighty sword Sin'dorei Warblade.

We emerged older and wiser, and considerably richer:For the Horde!

Another great report.That's awesome you guys have had no deaths. I'll not comment about our attempt at Zul'Farrack on Thursday other than to say I had my biggest ever repair bill lol.
