After we trapsed through Solb, encountering a train or two along the way, we all found our groups and started... buffing. Ahhhhh! The lag ensues! :)

"Honey? My new video card and more ram is on the way, right? Honey?"

My first group leader was Mellilu and I'd like to thank her for being patient with a dragon raid newbie like me. :) You were great, Mellilu!

Jharis: Can we say LAGGGGGG!

Shandryll: No, sorry... I was lagging too hard to be able to say anything. :)

The giants, although very large and ominous looking, went down very fast to these powerful groups. It was really kewl to see 2 chanters each charm one while the third was finished off. The first go around, the mask dropped and the second, Tranix popped and the crown dropped. Grats to the winners of those awesome items!

Waiting for the goahead to charge...

I dunno what I did... but Naggy didn't like me much. :) This was my first death on the first try. I died twice, on the first attempt. Geesh, I only nuked him once. :)

Jharis: My best picture of him alive and oh about 5 seconds before my death.

Shandryll: I got to see him just long enough to get feared again so I didn't get any live shots of him. :(

Jharis and Shandryll after the first attempt. I had to sneak a few shots for prosperity in there. :)

The second time around, Malerin was my group leader and there was a bard in the group named Ffiddle. This is what the bard song did to my stats! I love bards!

The second time around I was feared almost as much as the first... so I missed out on the majority of the battle. I was able to jump in at the end and throw in a few heals though. I learned a valuable lesson, too... stay close to the bard! :)

Dead Naggy pics... always the mark of victory. Although I didn't get any live shots... I got lots of dead ones. ROFL!

Jharis: The mighty hunter. (Hey sis club him one last time for good measure)

Shandryll: *raises her mace to club the dead Naggy, but gets feared and runs off down the hall*

After the battle shots... everyone just lounging around, waiting for loot rolls, and MEDDING. :) Two hammers dropped and the CoF (cloak of flames). Congrats to the winners of those items!
