[Warcaster]

Thanks to Habuji, Bijorn, Gung, Wooti, Kigora, Jabber, and Cyzzyzzkz for joining HLS in ZG last night. Especially Habuji -- she was our lone priest and had to buff 4 groups solo.

Started off very interesting -- we entered the instance and began pulling with only ten people. Oh, and did I mention we had no warrior at that point? Manogan went into bear form and tanked as Duer and Habuji tested how fast they could go OOM while healing. I think all our shaman were DPS at that point. I could be wrong.

We added more as the raid went on and had 19 by the time we got to the Bloodlord. He had a few Haxy Trix up his sleeve and wiped us twice. Third time was the charm and he dropped the Halberd of Smiting (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51332) for Sol and the Primalist's Seal (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51330) for Habuji.

I had to bail after the Bloodlord but the raid continued on to Venoxis and dropped the snaky bastage. I have no idea the loot.

Oh, and nerf Duer's dice! He won a total of six coins and Bijous!

[Jabber]

Yeah, Blizz needs to nerf Duerdons lewts!!!!

[Duerdon]

Bah...I only haxored the first bijou and 3 coins....the rest I had to implement a virus on Sol's dice to win. :p

The snake also dropped the Hikkari Bindings which I really really really wanted in order to get the uberest leg chant out there.

Habuji, Sol, Gung, and Bijorn (especially since he was gracious enough to give me a pristine black diamond AND the Libram of Protection to get my last component for the leg chant) all get a HUGE thanks from me for letting me tag along in DM and do a little backtracking to get my libram done. U GUYZ ROXRS SO MUCH!!!!!

Once all was said and done, I put

We were more than happy to go to DM with ya to do that DD. I originally wanted to go to get a holiday hat (which turned out to be a very bad thing for Buji. The hat changes her hairline so badly that she looks like a balding older man under it).

As for ZG, thanks for having me along. I don't mind buffing everyone, as long as they all understand that it takes me 3 mana pools to buff 4 groups with both fort and spirit. Some good natured heckling is ok (thanks Merc). Anytime you guys need a priest/shaman let me know, and if Req doesn't have me tied down, I'm all for going back to ZG.
