Since the CoM thing was a bust and the epic drop for Bianca went quickly, we decided to put together another PoN exp group. We had Gaerett to MA and Tigon to assist with DPS, all we needed was a slower and a healer. Like all the groups today, this one went together slowly and painfully. But, by 9pm we were rocking in our recent haunt south of the waterfall. Exp here isn't was good as the stalkers, but they are heavily camped most of the time.

As it turns out, the slower had to bail pretty quick, so we were not able to ding Bi or Gaerett :(. But while the group was fighting Krushh got on sent me a tell about how the CoM thing went. I filled him in between pulls and he ask me if The Shade was up (he was). So we abandoned the exp thing and headed over to do battle with the Shade once more..

I love this fight. Just getting there is interesting involving a leved river crossing, a swim and two cliff jumps. All things that get people dead fast. Then, you see him. The most enormous undead dude on an undead horse. Level 66, doubles for 1134, unslowable, summons, 100K hps. We are 2 and 1 against him in the raids I have been on.

Tonight went very very smoothly and we dispatched the Shade without a single death. Unbelievable. The guild is getting strong. On the loot rolls, I won a Disemboweler, the first melee item I had seen him drop. A nice upgrade to my Blade of the Arisen Cultist, thanks Elves!
