I went to Blackwing Lair and all I got was this stupid picture

What to say about our friend Razorgore the Untamed? Oh ya.. he is a #@#$%?!! and a %##":?*!! to boot. On our last serious attempt we almost had him. I know I speak for others when I say it was a thing 'O beauty when we got all the kiting down and all those mobs were running in circles. We have come so far in so little time.

As you can see, some of these pictures were taken post-SMITE! Thanks to all those who showed up and let's hit him again.

Life through Adnar's eyes

Mass bubblehearth crashes server

Last night at approximately 9pm server time, a mass exodus of those who follow the Light after a successful smiting in UBRS caused a complete server resart and a rollback to day 1. Thanks to all those involved. Adnar wants his stuff back!

What is wrong with this picture?

This is the way you should NOT tank the trash.

When someone asks you "if you are a god?", you say, "Yes!"

Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously, and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr. Raymond Stantz: Total protonic reversal!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right, that's bad. Okay, alright, important safety tip, thanks Egon.

Fallen Circle hits Honored en mass

Last night many Fallen Circle members became good friends with Duke Hydraxis. Really, he is not much a friend. All he goes on about is his enemies of the earth, air, and fire. Whatever. He won't give you homemade cherry pies. He won't help raid in Barron side strat for a special shield. He won't even give you mana water. What kind of a friend it that?

Vaaling was already on this forsaken rock that even the Lightbringer wouldn't go to, but here I am. Shortly following my arrival, Lhun, Sedina, and Sagan showed up and each tried to get something out of this guy. Sagan soon portaled us back to Ironforge and left Ciomara and Elygran to fend for themselves. Suckers!

Members of the Fallen Circle and the Gathering can expect to see this guy regularly in the future. Try not to kill yourself as you make your way out to see him.

Also, I like to SMITE!

Pally Power owns Molten Core

In a spectacular turn of events, at least for the Followers of the Light and the example of the most revered Uther the Lightbringer, the paladins of the Gathering alliance made out like demons last night! Nearly a full set of Lawbringer armor was droppped by various baddies in Molten Core and also the Aurastone Hammer shown in the hand of our most distiguished leader, Elygran. Let's face it, the old man needed it! Elygran, Doogan, Faenar, Weezel, and Adnar would like to extend many thanks to all the other "support classes" that particiapted in our glorious victory last night. Long live the Gathering as we SMITE the forces that stand against us.

They call me Mr. Smite!

The title says is all folks.

Into the Core

Recently, The Gathering ventured into the Molten Core to explore the area and experience fighting Lucifron. Well, we actually found killing Luci so easy we went and killed Maggie too. Opps.

oh dear

Well I don't know about the other Paladins out there, but the new mount we get in 1.9 is just unacceptable to me. Fury looks more like a Fuzzy now and I don't like it one bit!



Here he is trying to eat Shiningstar's hat.

Sillythus

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Adnar is deep undercover in the land of Silithus. The Gathering is planning an excursion into the Hive infested land and Adnar is leading the way to discover what evils await us in this strange land.



The Scareb Wall in southern Silithus is impregnible. What evil is sealed behind it and can The Gathering find a way through?




What possible use can this ancient gong be put to?



This emissary of the silithid was easily defeated primarily by members of The Gathering. Good job to all.

Before and After

For those of you who don't know it, Adnar spends most of his down time in the Ironforge bank. This is the rally point for our guild The Fallen Circle. Adnar's motto is, "If it can't be done in the bank, then get out there and smite something!"

Here are my friends.


and here is another picture of... um.. my friends? Liet, why must we always be singing the Village People when you are on downtime?

Fillet O' Hakkar? Tastes like chicken!

After solo clearing the way to Hakkar and making an unsuccessful attempt to smite the Soulflayer by himself, members of The Gathering caught up to Adnar and prepared to do battle



During the battle The Gathering contracted some kind of uber-STD that helped fell the blood god (Adnar blames Vaaling for fooling around with the reptiles in there. Bad Vaaling! Bad!)



Sure we had some fits and starts. The horror!



Ultimately, we prevailed.




The Gathering has arrived. All the hard work and months of raiding has paid off. We all paused to reflect on the achievement and take a pic for posterity

Panther Schmanter

The Gathering finally took down Panther babe earlier this month and set us up to take down Hakkar. In a surprise development it was actually a pretty easy encounter once we used a good strat. Congrats to all!

A song comes to mind - hmm?

Young man.....

Zul'Goober at the ready

Despite Adnar's sheer ferocity and badassness, the Gathering failed to defeat Thekal and his kitties once again. Thekal was put on hold after several attempts and will be conquered tonight. See you at 6:30!

Dire Maul trip succeeds after a slow start

Don't you hate it when this happens? You activate your ultrasafe transporter: Gadgetzan and end up looking like some warrior on a good day. Luckily, the effects wore off soon enough and I was off to the Dire Maul to help Raynia put her days of Kmart water behind her.



However, after Adnar arrived at the Dire Maul a certain ogre took an exception to the fact that I was there.



Did I mention Raynia met a different ogre?


Nothing but smooth sailing after this. Alzzin and his minions were smited with due haste. Congrats to all involved.

Ouch

Doesn't look good, aye? Adnar successfully put an end to Thermaplugg's tyranical rule in Gnomeregan yesterday, but it may take some time before the Gnomes that once lived here feel safe enough to return. Audie, Cognobbit, Vaaling, and Clacksocket, please return to your homes. There is nothing to be afraid of anymore. (no really - would I lie to you?)

I am the Lizard King

Members of the Gathering took down sissy snake dude on Tuesday. Adnar cut off his head and made himself king for a day! Zul'Goober beware! The Fallen Circle and the Gathering is after you.

Night Elf bath time

Pictured are 3 up and coming Night Elfs. Shiningstar, Riversong, and Callon took down Vilehoof who had taken possession of a secluded moonwell in SW Teldrassil. The local furbolg menace was dealt with the same night, but darn if their rampant breeding doesn't have them back to their pre-whoopassing levels.
