Botanists

Following our lesson from Ahune (see below), the Elder sulkily headed to Tempest Keep's Botanica in order to re-establish our credentials.

Because of the earlier setback, it was a scratchy run, though we did down everyone in site, including a few tricky bosses.

Sarannis slain

Neit picked up a nice pair of tough-guy Mittens off Sarannis, while Fugg upgraded to some twinkle-toed Obsidian Clodstompers when High Botanist Freywinn fell. The actual felling took a while, as his tree-form kept sprouting at exactly the wrong moment. But fall he did, after our second try.

Thorngrin trounced

Thorngrin the Tender was next to go, though again it took several attempts. His nasty Sacrifice left someone helpless on his alter, and the Hellfire AoE kept catching our melee DPS unawares. He eventually succumbed while both Blackheathen and Neitzsche were down for the count, which is a rarity. And Fugg scored again, picking up the Ring of Umbral Doom.

Laj lashed

Next on the hitlist was Laj, who we tank and spanked with ease, allowing Paxmortis to score an anti-Alliance Mithril-Bark Cloak. Must have taken some skilful tailoring to mix those two mats...

Warp Splinter being gutted by Paxmortis

And finally, after a little multi-mob pulling that we scraped through thanks to an "ER" healing effort from Neit, we relieved the honey-toned Warp Splinter from his misery. Some more manly drops for Neit as a reward, this time a nice Bangle, and Stroeb picked up a pretty but bound to be sharded Thorn. Combat Swords ftl for once!
