SW1V – Run 02 – DM 30th April 2006

Second time out and the big man himself was dropped. The final battle was preceeded spectacular fights at Smite, where he had to be downed with 2 additional adds, and at a ninja-pulled Cookie. A bad pull at Greenskin cost the group a single wipe, but fast progress through the respawns got the group to the top of the ship in good order. Van Cleef fell soon after in the groups toughest fight to date.

Lessons Learned:

  • Some pulls are just a wipe, deal with it.!
  • Pros trade healthstones between overpulled Smite phases.

SW1V – Run 03 – WC 14th May 2006

Wailing Caverns were cleared in the groups first venture into horde terriotory. With only one wipe Mutaus The Devourer fell in a run packed with good loot and a rare spawn dragon. A good run for an unfamiliar instance.

SW1V – Run 04 – WC 20th May 2006

Following on from the previous WC run the party was held up by a horde party at the entrance to the network of caves. All looked lost for our heroes as a great Tauren warrior barred the way home. From nowhere a Paladin with an immense (blantantly warrior) sword descended to slay the infidels! The party was escorted to Ratchet to repair before returning once more to the home of Mutanus. A clear run with zero wipes ensued. Deviate Faerie Dragon spawned but overall loot was poor. And still no shield from Kresh! Nice chest tho ty!

SW1V – Run 07 – SFK 2nd June 2006

Second time in Shadowfang Keep turned out quite easy for the group! A fast run with no wipes or deaths yielded some good loots. Odo was taken down with additional mobs due to a runaway feared bat, but the Wolfmaster and Arugal himself were downed without trouble.

SW1V – Run 09 – RFK 9th Dec 2006

An unexpected late night run saw the group clear their second instance in horde territory. Charlga Razorflank fell at the first attempt in the early hours of the morning. Although relatively challenging, the group suffered only a single wipe due to some "unfortunate" pulling. A rarespawn bat brought some nice caster loot.

SW1V – Run 05 – DM 25th May 2006

Deadmines cleared in what may be the groups last venture the Westfall instance. Smite was downed with multiple adds again. One wipe only due to the usual Captain Greenskin ninja pull but soulstone to the rescue. Vancleef was taken down cleanly. Very nice loots this run.

Third time is a charm.

SW1V – Run 06 – SFK 30th May 2006

Shadowfang Keep was cleared at the first attempt. With most players at the bottom end of the level bracket Arugal was taken down in a close fight. Only 2 wipes occured during the run, mostly due to obscene aggro radius. Gratz to all on completeing the instance at such a low level! Attendance: Eredin Warrior Lvl 24 Silentninja Rogue Lvl 23 Daftwandarer Paladin Lvl 24 DavlinPriest Lvl 22 Mellinda Warlock Lvl 21 Phat Lewtz: Gratz to Mellinda Gratz to Mellinda Lessons Learned: Healers dont like playing "Chase the MT". Check just inside the doors first.

SW1V – Run 08 – BFD 3rd Dec 2006

The Stormwind 1st V made their first outing in many months with a trip to the previously unexplored Blackfathom Deeps. The break seemed to have done no harm as the party swept through the instance without a single death. Some proclaimed the dungeon too easy for a group of such high calibre. Take note Gnomeregan! We're coming for you!

SW1V – Run 01 – DM 28th April 2006

The Stormwind 1st Vs first outing resulted in a successful clearing of The Deadmines as Far as Mr Smite. Following Smites death the team pulled half the instance from Kalimdor and wiped in an heroic fashion. Obscene aggro radii FTW. Game over was declared shortly after due to respawns. Gratz to all.

Pros bandage between Smite phases
