Morogrim pushes up daisies

I can't explain how satisfying it is to post this update... Not because of the kill itself, but because of the incredible dedication of this guild. After several weeks of what nearly resulted in the dissolution of the guild, we pulled of a miraculous week of single shot bosses, and conquered new content with plenty of room to spare.

I'm glad to say that I now think the Cascaders are stronger psychologically than they have been in a long time.

Leotheras the Blind never saw us coming...

Cascaders progression into Serpentshrine Lair is relentless. 5 days after our first kill in the instance, we down our third boss. Kudos to all, especially Nostradamus and his new Coral-Barbed Shoulderpads, and Hibernian and Matlock's new Gloves of the Vanquished Hero.

Stormherald!

Deep Thunder + Nether Vortex + Nether Vortex + Nether Vortex + Nether Vortex + Nether Vortex = Stormherald! Congratulations Wyvrik! Server first T3 crafted weapon!

A busy week in Serpentshrine combined with some excellent play for all involved results in our 2nd server first in a week. Congratulations to Sable and Kteam on their Leggings of the Vanquished Defender and Blakhart on his World Breaker.

Hydross The Unstable stabalizes....

After a 1% pre-patch whipe, Hydross doesn't put up much of a fight after the 2.1 patch. First try of the night and we had our server first Serpentshrine lair kill. Congratulations to Warlockwoman and her new Boots of the Shifting Nightmare.

So we killed another world boss the other day. (Yeah, it took me a bit to post it. Keep yer panty hose on.)

Congrat's out to Andesite and his new Chestguard of the Fallen Hero, Corfius' new Crystalheart Pulse-Staff and Leylani on her Terror Pit Girdle.

I guess we have to wait for another content patch or another expansion for another world-boss to vanquish.

Some interesting stuff in here.. I think I like the Priest's the best... Some of the other (*cough*warlcok*cough*) are a little lackluster... I think Blizzard is getting a little lazy and reusing a lot of concepts and actual art assets lately.

Better Late Than Never....

In last few weeks, Cascaders made a concerted effort to complete Naxxramas; partially for the sense of completion, partially to attain the Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian for Sable.. Not only would the staff be a server first and only, it would provide a nice express-train to Karazhan (although that need is dwindling too...).

The main 4 wings were incredibly easy going... Sapphiron was a different story. Two weeks of farming 250 frost resistance later, we had our kill...

A mere four attempts later on Kel'thuzad and we had finally completed 100% of Naxxramas and Sable attained his Staff Head of Atiesh

Too bad Blizzard saw fit to completely botch the Twin Emperors encounter in AQ to nearly 'un-doable', or Sable would have had that staff in the wee hours of Sunday morning..

Doomwalker Walks No More...

nospam@example.com (Phyrrus) — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 12:46:03 -0400

Inspired by the victory over Doom Lord Kazzak, Cascaders and it's newly reinforced ranks (and some help from their friends) proceeded to stop Doomwalker in his tracks.

Two BC world bosses downed in one night. One a server first. It's been a while since we've seen one of those...

Congratulations to Velenos and Nostradamus as the both collect a Fathom-Helm of the Deeps

Kazzak on Toast

With the addition of some valuable players to fortify our ranks, Cascaders made some impressive strides this past weekend....
Doom Lord Kazzak dropped like a ton of bricks, and handed out some nice loot...

Congratulations to Neuadan and his Hope Ender and to Sirre and his Exodar Life-Staff

Gruul Dead

All the nerfing made it easy... But loot pinata's can be fun sometimes too. Maybe Mag's will be this easy as well.

Congratulations to Wyvrik and his Gauntlets of Martial Perfection and to Warlockwoman and her Leggings of the Fallen Hero. Corran (Brunstan) managed to capture the event in all it's glory.

Karazhan Cleared!

nospam@example.com (Phyrrus) — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 13:06:03 -0400

With the death of Nightbane, Cascaders finally fully cleared Kharazan. No, we weren't the first guild on Bronzebeard to do so, but I like to think we did it with the most panache... (lol) Now to see if we can manage a full clear in a single go as we try to get everyone their Blazing Signet and attunment for Serpentshire Lair...

As for the loot, congratulations for to Blakhart on his new Dragonheart Flameshield and to Sable for Robe of the Elder Scribes.
