The Scourgelord’s Command
Tonight has been challenging, with the release of the new patch, came three new 5-man instances, The Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron and Halls of Reflection.
I cleared these on the night of the patch going live on ‘Heroic’ difficulty and had a great time, they’re truly epic encounters that really appeal to me.
Tonight, I decided to run through them again with a guild-mate who’s yet to complete them.
Tonight, thing’s haven’t gone so well, we start off at The Forge of Souls, the first in the chain of three dungeons.
We got through it in around 45 minutes and I picked up a rather hideous new helm for Touji.
I’ve also managed to pick up some nice new shoulders.
Anyway! As we ploughed into the second dungeon in the chain things looked good, we cleared the trash with little to no problem at all.
Actually, things went surprisingly well till we got to the Scourgelord Tyrannus.
He safely ate our group at least 5 times, our original healer and a DPS left us, clearly unhappy that our tank was learning for the first time.
Me and Kwoff, being the great folks that we are, stuck about and vowed to help the tank learn, till the bitter end.
Our replacement healer and DPS turned up in around 15-20 seconds, did I mention I love the new LFG system?
With our new group of intrepid adventurers raring to go, we charged back to Tyrannus and decided NOW was the time we would end his miserable existence.
The first attempt went the way of a bad snuff flick, he cleaved us limb from limb with his mind alone.
The second attempt? We’ll not talk about that.
Attempt three, well, attempt three never really happened, we returned to the cave where the path to his lair starts, but it was sealed shut, either a bug, or a lockout because we’d tried in vain to kill him too many times.
The decision was made to call it a night, Tyrannus survived…
I will be back for him though, I’ve killed him once, I can do it again!
