All the toys!

 The Guild celebrated Wintersday with allll the toys and, as is customary, some nudity.

After ditching a Guardian who complained about our lack of numbers and our ability to beat a bunch of prissy princesses, we discovered once again that our true power is teamwork, listening to digitaltempest, and not inviting assholes to party with us.

 

Adventure time!

Finally caught up with Butter Rum and took her on an epic tour of getting lost, being cows and dying!

Oh and also giant giants!

Welcome to the Guild, Butter Rum!

And now we dance!

We got this

Missing a member, we decided to shout and got a nice person to join us for a second attempt at. Our new friend abadonned us when our lack of 80ness failed to impress him. That's okay. We can rescue Jennah without you!

We may have jinxed ourselves a few times, but we're convinced that the dungeon was much better this time. Still full of death, but... not quite as much. We once again completed it with just four and thankfully, we actually got to complete it thanks to the bug fix.

And this time we remembered to let Zojja help, too.

For fashion!

Nightxade decided she wanted new clothes for her Elementalist, and headed off to Fireheart Rise to complete the necessary hearts. Unfortunately, at only level 55+, she was too low to make it to the far corner for her boots, so she requested the aid of Digitaltempest, warning her that it would mean a lot of aggro and possible doom. Challenge accepted. Joined by Deacon Twoblades, they headed off to take on the Flame Legion, achieving their ultimate goal. Too bad the boots are ugly.

Lost Shores Event Weekend

ArenaNet introduced the first of their one-time events, The Lost Shores. We hopped over to the Southsun Cove, where the Consortium had stirred up the local wildlife for us to slaughter.

After much death and Digitaltempest leaving to find new and awesome friends to build bridges with, we ended up with some sweet loot and a great sense of accomplishment. We're so happy we could clear the beaches of Southsun to allow the tourists to come hang out.

Twilight Arbor SM

Surprisingly not as bad as the other dungeons, once we got past the Logan/Rytlocke drama.

Unfortunately, the relative ease of the dungeon lured Nizzo and Nightxade into a false sense of security, prompting them to try EM the next night with a pick up group.

Four hours later.....

Caudecus's Manor

It's okay Jennah, you can come out now.

Despite Digitaltempest's complaints and despite the lack of a fifth party member, we decided to recue Queen Jennah from certain doom at the hands of the evil Separatists. We initially had the expected trouble and a lot of the usual death and Priory Repair Scams, but every time we got too frustrated to try but once more, we managed to get it right and pull through -- with no thanks to Zojja or Logan, we should add.

Unfortunately, even though we beat all the odds to come out on top, the game bugged at the very end and we ended up with an incomplete dungeon.
