“Mebbe me fail… but da Amani empire… never gonna die.” 

He used his last breath to make this declaration. The temple complex of Zul’Aman was now free of the evil practices of the Trolls. Noobiewan slumped to the ground and waited for one of the healers to come and heal his wounds with the power of the Light. Enterprise settled down next to his master and rested. It had been a long fight to get to here and a sudden mixture of exhaustion and excitement hit him suddenly forcing him to rest a moment. Across the platform the raids leader, the Gnome Pyromancer, Dizzywizzy was organising the rest of the party into moving the corpse of Zul’jin. The body of the once great Troll was being placed to be burned to cinders. 

Closing his eyes, Noobiewan thought about the mission from the beginning. They had heard that the trolls were beginning sacrificial ceremonies as they entered the Complex. Time was against them. The group had made good speed and had managed to stop the Bear Spirits avatar from completing his sacrifice. With the Bear Spirit down the group rushed to stop the Eagle Spirit avatar. They had managed to get to the ceremony and prevent the dwarf held captive from being sliced open. The Lynx Spirit avatar would be the next one to stop. The toil of rushing to stop the first sacrifices proved to be too much and The Black Citadel party was close enough to hear the screams as the third member was killed. The last would have been slaughtered to the gods before they had dealt with the Lynx Spirit. Noobiewan recalled how he fought with new resolve from then to end the Trolls plans. Seperating the Dragonhawk Spirit’s link to its avatar, the group had then headed to the Temple of the Hex Lord. 

The party was in full swing now with the victims of the Trolls voodoo, now cured, bringing supplies from the expedition camp out side the complex gates. Noobiewan and Enterprise moved to join the group. Picking up a mug of strong ale Noobiewan join in a small group where Pembious, a human warrior, was recalling the techniques he used against Malacrass. a small shiver crossed Noobiewan as he recalled when his soul was being drawn out to give the Hex lord his knowledge and skills. It would be a few weeks before the unsettling feeling left him completely. Noobiewan listened to the others who were talking about the last battle.

Zul’jin, now burning upon a pyre, earlier was standing atop the last temple surrounded by the last of the temple guards and the Spirits. Noobiewan played the images through behind his eyes.

“Everybody always wanna take from us. Now we gonna start takin’ back. Anybody who get in our way…gonna drown in their own blood! De Amani empire be back now…seekin’ vengeance. And we gonna start…with you!”

Thats how it began, the guards rushed but were taken down easily. Noobiewan sent off a volley of arrows to stop a Troll taking off a guild member’s head with an axe. 

Pembious charged in with a warcry facing Zul’jin head on. The troll may have had only one arm but he was skilled with his blade and he knocked the warrior away. A cruel smile formed on his lips.

“Got me some new tricks…like me bruddah bear!”, with that he pulled power from the Bear Spirit and changed his form into that of a huge bear. He swiped a clawed paw towards the Druid Hasimina but it never had the chance to connect as Pembious’s sword connected first. The power of the Bear spirit could only hold out so long and soon Zul’jin summoned the powers from the Eagle, changing into an eagle and creating whirlwinds to throw the attackers around. Noobiewan almost lost consciousness after banging his head against the stone floor, A quick healing spell from Phaeria, a Priestess of the Light, brought him to his senses. The Mage’s Dizzywizzy and Nyriqo used their magical powers to keep the bird form low and the Paladin, Vackmeim assisted Pembious in attacking. The Draenei Shaman Goodlike call on a powerful totems  to draw mana to aid the magic users and to add elemental forces to the warriors attacks. The Eagle Spirit soon was powerless and Zul’jin changed back only to siphon powers from the Lynx Spirit. As a giant Lynx Zul’jin was fast. Noobiewan feigned death as a swipe collided with him and the Lynx went for another target turning his back on the hunter. The handle of Trollbane was in Noobiewan’s hands as he leapt into the fight with some melee action. He spun the axe in a technique called a Raptor Strike and jumped out to a distance to use the crossbow. After a few more minutes the Lynx Spirit left Zul’jin and in a weakend state he summoned the last Spirit to aid him. The Dragonhawk Spirit gave him a new form and jets of flame shot out of his dragonhawk beak. All the members were animated in dodging the flames and pushing forward the assault. Zul’jin was weakening it wouldn’t take long. 

The Dragonhawk Spirit lost its grip in this world and left Zul’jin. Pembious struck and impaled the Troll through his heart. And he died with his final message. ”Mebbe me fail… but da Amani empire… never gonna die.” 

The Night Elf hunter nodded to his pet and together they headed toward the main gates of Zul’Aman and to the Gryphon Master. He would want to get an Inn and rest up but as he passed an empty hut he saw a bow inside. Despite the troll decorations, Noobiewan could see it was a fine bow and very powerful. He picked it up and tested the weight and balance. Then notching an arrow, he then targeted a wooden statue. The arrow shot off with more power then could be sent through the current weapon he used. So Noobiewan took the Ancient Amani Longbow as a reminder of the evenings adventure and continued to head out of Zul’Aman.

Aloha,

Yeah we cleared ZA finally. That last boss was a pain in the Primal Nethers and had beaten us on many occasions but now he’s toast! Gratz to my other guildies who were fantastic! Concentration was constant and we even had a lot of laughs along the way. 

Cya next time!

Aloha Fellow Adventurers!

Last night I returned to the Troll temple’s of Zul’Aman with Noobiewan.
Having sorted out my specs earlier in the week I was raiding with fingers crossed (not easy to do, thats for sure!)
As with my previous visit here we were doing the bosses in the order: Bear, Eagle, Lynx and Dragonhawk.

It was the last of those four, Jan’alai that provided to be too tough for our last raid. But we knew the tactics and had a prepared and experienced group.
Once the fight started, my first job was to place a frost trap after the hatcher had passed by and then Kill the Hatcher when 4 sets of eggs had been hatched. The frost trap is to slow the birds enough for the other AoE members to kill them. Then my attention is on the Boss until the next round of hatching begins. Throw in the Bomb dodging phase and its a busy boss fight for yours truly!
Last time we had serious problems with sorting out the hatcher before he opened too many eggs and we were swamped by birds. This time, we were like a well oiled and maintained machine of Bird God Avatar killing!
We did so good that all birds were dead before his enrage!
So another couple of Badges of Justice for me and …wait! whats this?!? Arrow-fall Chestguard! for me?
Thank you!

And it matches my leggings too

Would love to report that we managed to progress much further but the next boss, Hex Lord Malacrass, was just a bit too much for us.

At the end, I sat and thought about how things went. Raid leader said I was the same as the Off-tank Druid and the DPS warlock of the group. A huge improvement.
I consider myself no longer the Noob I started off as. I use Add-on’s, I use Macro’s, I use information to build a good spec and manage my gear to suit and I’m a front line member of The Black Citadel’s raiding team.

Afterward, was in the city of Shattrath, celebrating when Softi logged on right next to me!!!

So remember be careful when you Dance naked! you never know who’s going to spawn in next to you!

Until next time,

Love Noobie

Aloha Raider of the Lost Instance,

Today I’m taking a well deserved break after two nights of full-on concentration Raiding. On wednesday was my first run through the jungle trolls last bastion, Zul’Aman.

Although I had been reading up the tactics from Wow-wiki all day, very little was going in from there, so I had to rely on my wit and hunter smarts.

Yeah, I died a few times. 

But we did manage to get a few of the bosses down!

The Bear Lord- Narorakk

The Eagle Lord- Akil’zon

The Lynx Lord- Halazzi

We tried to get the fourth one- The Dragonhawk Lord- Jan’alai but we were unable to send him to his grave.

It was a fun time and I managed not to cause any problems at all. The fun continued the next night as The Black Citadel did its first ever raid in to The Eye- Tempest Keep

We only had one goal, Get to Void Reaver.

After a few teething mistakes with the group pulls, we managed to fight our way deep into the chambers of the Keep and after a few hours we saw our Target.

At this point one of our tanks had to go and was replaced with another hunter. The big brother of Fel Reaver is supposed to be one of the easiest fights but it took us a few attempts to get used to how he fights. On one attempt they decided to reset the fight, I Feigned Death but Voidy fired off one last Arcane Orb, which decided to land on Noobie. He got me!

We decided to give it one more shot after our usual end time arrived. Im glad we did as it went perfect, and soon another victory could be added to the guild roll of bosses down.

The shoulder token dropped for T5, but I knew I didn’t have enough but I did start the big up high at 500DKP. It went for 1850DKP to One of the hunters of the Guild, Deckland. Rift Stalker Mantle are now his! WOOT!

All in all, a very good couple of days but very mentally draining.
See you soon,
Love Noobie
