With the aid of some new alliance and non alliance destruction players Keri and Fizba ventured of to the Lost Vale once again.

There where many, many wipes and some great recoveries. And after roughly twenty wipes, spread over two evenings, we finally dealt some death to the NPC #Butcher Gutbeater.

But second evening in Lost Vale didn’t end with the death of NPC #Butcher Gutbeater, and so by the end of the second evening only NPC #N'kari, Keeper of Secrets remained. The third night planned unfortunately had to be cancelled, and so N'kari gets to live... for now.

The loot:
Item #Darkpromise Sash
Item #Darkpromise Spellcrown

We also give our thanks to Stephee, Thengir, Oggork and Evilely for two most enjoyable evenings of PvE.

Its our second week into our Lost Vale revival (now that we have a second tank), and after clearing the 3 bosses previously downed with ease, we managed to down two more bosses.

Monday night after clearing the way through Thornvale Wilds and this time with everyone able to get a torch, we took on NPC #Dralel the Whitefire Matron and downed her after a number of attempts, basically once we had sorted out where we all needed to stand we downed her without too much trouble.

Item #The Matron's Claw

Wednesday saw us move into the Blackwillow Forest where we faced NPC #Chul Earthkeeper. We had been here before with a single 4 warded tank and we almost took him, this time with 2 tanks one fully warded he was easy peasy.

Loot:

Item #Darkpromise Bitskeepa
Item #Earthkeepa's Cutta

Then we moved on to face NPC #Butcher Gutbeater and this is where we hit some problems. Our 4 warded tank was getting spanked silly by Goblar, so we switched tanks around, and whilst things were going better, there just was not enough healing to keep the tanks and the rest of the group up. After many attempts, we called it a night.

We popped into LV again yesterday after a quick BE+BB run and we successfully downed the second boss. It took a few attempts, the first to figure out what to do, the second we wiped due to a healing error on my part. We downed him on the third attempt though easily.

We then had a go at the third boss of the first wing Horgulul, but she just hits our 4 ward tank way too hard for our healers to keep up. She was hitting Durn for 4k a time.

Durn came away with the following cloak, gratz Durn.

After our regular BE+BB run, which went quite smoothly, we decided to have a peek inside the Lost Vale to have a look at what it was like, and maybe have a stab at the first boss Ahzranok.

Well after a few wipes (ahem several wipes) we managed to down him. Was quite easy once we had figured out what we needed to do We got him on our 3rd attempt.

Gratz to all who attended.
