Bianca is not due home from work until 7:30, the raid is supposed to start at 7:00pm. Knowing how these things go, I dual box her to the raid and she makes it home in time to take over well before the raid actually moves out.

We just did a fighting run into Chardok on Wednesday for GoB, this one is inhouse for Spititene and Kelenan. They have the clever idea of bring mobs in in bunchs and having the wizzies and droods AoE them. I am sure this is a lot of fun if you are a wizard. Boring to watch and be told to stay out of the way of if you are a melee though. A lot of yelling was going on too since a lot of people were confused about what they should be doing on the raid (there wasn't a lot of explaination about this technique up front and it isn't something we use all that often). So, I got into a long debate with Drayal during the raid about how things are run and while I don't pretend to know everything, I know this could be better. I was a long and stressful conversation as these things tend to be better two people with very similar ways of thinking, both of whom are currently taking this computer game way two seriously.

We get down to the bedroom without incident, but not without the King's room getting agroed, so it was a bit of a hairball killing the King and then all 6 of the dogs that came with him. Of course, that made setting up for the queen pretty easy. 10 minutes later we pull the Queen and smoke her. She is supposed to be the badass down here and we were all encouraged to fire off all offensive weapons, balls to the walls. It worked so well, I got maybe 5 arrows off on Trueshot before I lost my target. No more than 30 seconds did the fight last.

Things went so well time-wise that we decide to stay for another round of the King and Queen. It is only 9:30, it's a 2 hour spawn so...OK. I had hoped to get out a little early tonight, but we are here and there is another warrior and cleric who could use the drops.

So we goof off with emotes and illusions, killing the wanderers and repoping gaurds until we get the King. He really is a push over for our guild now, even those who were left at this point. Next up the Queen. To avoid complications, we decide to go to her room and setup and attack once she spawns. Same deal: spawn -> poof. 17 seconds this time, I got two arrows off. Oh well, I was there for moral support at least.

Time to pack it in.
