A right royal pain in the face.

Doom Lord Kazzak is not only a nasty, ill-tempered and very violent demon, he’s not very pretty, to boot. Thankfully, we triumphed over shadowbolts, ill-timed add respawns, a pesky Horde mage trying to grief us, and Hellfire General Chat complaining about Kazzak’s zone-wide yelling fits… to put Kazzak in his place for another Wardens first kill. It’s been a good month!

Congrats to Amandrah on the shiny new cloak, and Philos on his new sword. Here’s hoping we’ll get a chance to do it again before Patch 2.4 hits, his epics turn BoE and every guild in Outland turns up to farm him for AH profiteering. It was a fun learning experience, and we look forward to killing him again!

It seemed a waste…

…to keep trotting past Hydross every week to get to Lurker.

So we killed him.

First night first kills are very satisfying! It took us a couple of wipes to get the transitions down pat, but a couple hours after setting foot in the zone Hydross lay dead at our feet. Great work from all concerned, and congratulations to Ursuron, Swen and Rotorua on their shiny new loot!

Magtheridon: “How long do you think this can hold me?”

<Southern Wardens>: “Oh, about five more minutes?”

After this week’s kill of Lurker, we trotted off to Magtheridon’s Lair – we’ve spent a few attempts there this week, learning the fight and mocking Magtheridon’s smack talk.

I have to say, I personally really enjoyed the Magtheridon encounter. Almost no trash (hooray!), an entirely mockable boss, and an interesting set of raid challenges. We killed him tonight for the first time, with only three warlocks on the team (a 50% improvement over a couple of attempts earlier in the week where our two little ‘locks were looking very lonely indeed) and loot rained from the heavens. Congrats to Swen and Ragoth on their new T4 chests, Alinden on the Head of Magtheridon (which makes no sense, as someone pointed out there isn’t actually a corpse left behind to get a head from…), Torqya on his pretty pink Barbie shield and Xaned on his nice new belt. And, of course, congratulations to all our new Champions of the Naaru.

Great work to all concerned; it’s satisfying to have completed all Tier 4 content, even if we didn’t do it all in the right order! Now it’s time to dig in and make some serious inroads into SSC and Tempest Keep – because you can never kill too many nagas or blood elves.

Big Dead Fishy.

Why progress in one zone when you can progress in two?

We took our first guild steps in Serpentshrine Cavern two weeks ago for a quick look-see after a Gruul’s Lair clear. Last week we got a couple of really good attempts in on the Lurker, and we consolidated all that last night with a decisive kill. Congrats to Vortron and Torqya on their new boots, and Byza on his new bracers.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome our new guild members. SPQR was a great guild and we were proud to be associated with it, and we’re happy to provide a new home for those ex-SPQR people who chose to come across and join us in Southern Wardens. Welcome aboard, guys – friendly abuse and teabags for all! ;)
