“Say la vee, TBC.”

Less than a week before Wrath of the Lich King comes out, and HFC goes to town (oneshot) on our first T5 boss, Void Reaver. Along the way, we also revisited HKM and Gruul, and made our first kill on Magtheridon as well.

Friday, October 17th, 2008… Hellfire Club squashed ZA. Both Malacrass and Zul’Jin dead.

Congratulations to all those involved, and a mighty thanks to Blizzard for the 3.0.2 patch. =]

Since this upcoming Tuesday patch-day is the big 3.0.2 pre-Wrath patch, and since that means that the current Naxxramas is going away forever, Hellfire Club decided to go in and say, “Hi!” With a group of up-to 21 people, including 4 tanks, 4 healers, 2 lower level DPS (61 mage Thewhiteboy, and 67 warlock Aileanora), and 11 other T4+ DPSers, we entered and went directly for the Spider Wing upon advice that our initial plan of heading to Patchwerk was probably a real bad idea…

After 5 wipes on Anub’rekhan, mostly due to MT casualties during the Locust kite transition, we decided to continue the fun exploration by heading to the Abomination Wing anyway. We found lots of slimes, gutters of slime, and even had some Leeroy action by our very own GM. After 2 attempts, Patchwerk was dead. Nice and simple. Congratulations to Thewhiteboy on the first (and only) T3 in HFC: [Frostfire Shoulderpads] (once he finishes making them, that is). Also congratulations to Travysh on the [Band of Reanimation] and to Necromage on the [Splinter of Atiesh].

Then we made a couple of attempts on Grobbulus before calling it a night. All in all, a very enjoyable evening, with lots of silliness, chaos, and banter — plus, just a little education for things to come when we face the 10-man (and maybe even 25-man) version in Wrath of the Lich King.

So yeah… HFC strolled into Ironforge and spanked the crap outta High Tinker Mekkatorque, even with lots of annoying Alliance trying to stop us. Kudos to you, Hellfire Club!

Gruul the Dragonkiller has been slain. Tonight’s venture into Gruul’s Lair was the shortest ever, with a grand total of 7 boss-fights. It took us less time to kill Gruul than HKM & crew. After which, we celebrated by utterly decimating Darkshire, Stormwind, The Deeprun Tram, and killing the Gnome King in Ironforge. Maybe I exaggerate a bit…

Good work everyone!
