…and all three fall down dead (Terribad joke courtesy DjfurFail). Before the breakdown of recent news, I present to our community: The firefighter video!

Somewhat surprisingly to all of us, we downed Vezax Hardmode, One Light in the Darkness and Steelbreaker last all in one night, with Yogg+1 taking only 6 attempts. There was just something in the air last night and it smelled an awful lot like Ironbound Drake.

So where are we in the great scheme of things? We accomplished the real goal, which was to ditch the guys at the end of Ulduar so that we would have more flexibility continuing Ulduar with the additional content starting tomorrow night. We are one achievement away from completing the Ulduar meta and getting drakes. We are still working on Algalon and will have no issues getting in our hour each week. Why is this all so cool? Because our first hard mode kill was just about one month ago.

I want to say thanks to all the great members of Plaguechill, you freakin’ rock. Please remember our roots and keep your feet on the ground. These hard modes have all been nerfed and we are now looking down the barrel of a larger, unnerfed, hard mode gun.

To the rest of Khadgar: We love you guys, thanks for all the bumps in our recruitment thread, all the grats in whispers and on the forums. Please feel free to make an account and discuss raid strats, class mechanics or just hang out!

We finally got around to telling Hodir to take the night off and make ourselves a legendary last Monday. Figured it was worth front page to give a nice big ‘grats to Scootypuffjr. Now we can officially blame her whenever anyone dies! <3

The week’s not over yet but it’s time to make an update, which is always a wonderful feeling. PC has redeemed another keeper achieving: Firefighter. This means that tomorrow evening will be our first hour of Algalon. I’m not going to talk about progression this time, I’m just going to talk about how awesome of a fight Firefighter is. We did Mimiron on 10man before the almost immediate initial round of nerfs. We did Firefighter on 10man before the next round of nerfs. I’ve spent more time wiping on Mimiron than any other boss in my entire WoW-Life. It is still my favorite fight they’ve ever done. Nothing compares to the “focus” required to keep your cool and rise up to the DPS check while the world around you is in flames. Big congratulations to the whole guild, from first pull to achievement-pop we spent under 9 hours learning the fight.

Starting tomorrow we are “working on Algalon.” This is going to mean twice the dedication and “focus” in a fraction of the time. I hope everyone is up to the POWER HOUR of stress and torment. It’s just about stress management, the fight is easy. Let’s do it Plaguechill!

Frost Died!

In a thrilling triumph over a disconnect-happy night, PC took down freya+3 last night, achieving Knock Knock Knock on Wood and taking it as server first. Our guildies have officially proven their mettle against a real challenge and I doubt much will stop them now. With 3/4 keepers out of the way it’s looking like Algalon’s days are numbered. Here’s where I really hope our extensive 10man background kicks in and allows us to stay ahead of the pack. Thank you to all who helped and as always thank you to the visitors of PC, you guys rock

Blizzard has wasted a lot of our time this week, but we’ve still managed to take down the Northrend Beasts and much more importantly we achieved “Lose your Illusion”. With Thorim down, two keepers stand between us and Algalon; How long can they keep us at bay?
