Arty Posted a Blog: Arty's Recipes - Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pie
After a long days battle in Hammerknell Fortress one doesn't want to be caught slaving over the stove cooking a meal for themselves and their fellow Guardians. As much as Arty loves a home cooked meal from scratch she also appreciates short cuts for those nights she's not in the mood to spend hours in the kitchen. Quick and Easy Chicken Pot Pie 5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or 3 chicken breasts if you prefer) 2 cans cream of potato soup (or any cream soup you desire) 1 bag of frozen vegetables (which ever mix is your favorite!) 1/4 cup chicken broth 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp pepper 2 tsp chicken seasoning 1 box refrigerated pie crust (store bought pie crust often comes with 2 pie crusts) Instructions: - Set oven to 350 degrees (let it preheat while you prepare! That way you can pop the pie in the minute you finish putting the ingredients together) - Poach the chicken thighs on the stove top (for extra flavor you can poach the chicken in chicken broth and throw in some cut up onion)...

Arty Posted a Blog: Then and Now
As Arty approached the entrance of the Chancel of Labors she glanced over her shoulder to the frozen lake behind her. Its jagged formations, resembling monstrous claws, were a painful reminder of her previous life – a life of enslavement and death under the dragon Crucia. Before the Age of Dragons, Arty was a skilled metal smith who specialized in armor. Like many other dwarves she was infused with the spirit of creation. She loved climbing the mountains of Iron Pine Peak to mine the various types of ore and brought her treasure back to her families forge to create armor that would protect the ones she loved...

Ainet Posted a Blog: Love beyond the Ward
Her armor was dented and bloody from the hundreds of blows it took. Some of that blood was hers, most was not. Her shield still shone brightly in the day's fading light; enchanted to be a symbol those around her could rally to. Though she had been at the front line most of the day, her voice was still loud and strong. Instilling courage and strength to the rest of us. We needed that strength, for the armies of Regulos had come to Sanctum. With sword and axe, hammer and mace they fell around us...

Kadiskas Posted a Blog: Being Prepared
Kadiskas was becoming a fine warrior. As the years went by she would train with her father, Keveras, in the training ring everyday. Some days she would beat him but mostly she would lose but she was getting better. She didn't look like the same little scrawny elf she used to be. Now, at the age of 16, she was changing into a grown elf. The boys all gave her attention but she did not think about them. She knew she could best any one of them in the dueling ring. She was making her way to the training ring to meet her father there right now, as she had been everyday for ten years...

Marmar Posted a Blog: Marmar's Field Journal: Entry 1: Return from the Dead
It was a miracle of the Vigil. I had returned and moreover, I'd been given such gifts of power! Before I knew what i was...I knew what i was. An immortal, capable of communing with living and dead alike. Seer of spirits and otherworldly things. Beholder of what will never be and what could still happen. And yet...my family was not beside me. No one of the village returned except for my sister Shesa. Of course I could only be proud for a moment since it seemed I was the only one the Vigil felt they needed...

Bloodshryke Posted a Blog: The Origins & self-naming of The Bloodshyrke of Gaiscioch
To know me it may help you to know some history about how I selected my name after being returned to Telara by the divines. For context it helps to know my passions from before my original death. I was a student of nature, and birds prey specifically. The Shrike is the family name for a population of several related species of birds, and that of the largest genus, Lanius, is derived from the Latin word for "butcher", and some shrikes were also known as "butcher birds" because of their feeding habits...

Kadiskas Posted a Blog: Becoming something more
By the age of five Kadiskas was well versed in the vigil. Her father, Keveras, worked endlessly teaching her in the ways of both the vigil and in the art of war. She was tested to see if she was able to be a healer or a caster but to no avail. She was even tried to be stealthy like the rogue but again whatever she did she failed. Her father had her tested for many things hoping that she would not fall in his footsteps as a warrior. But as the days went by she was always found in the blacksmith area, after the tests, watching the blacksmith with such fasination that her father could no longer ignore the fact that she was in fact going to be a warrior...

Nenelar Posted a Guide: Getting Ready for Hammerknell Fortress
** Disclaimer ** I'm writing this because a few people have asked me about HK. I'm no one special. People ask me because I'm online a lot and I talk in guild frequently. To be up-front, at the time of this writing, I haven't even earned an official raid roster spot on an HK roster. I've been raiding HK on the backs on a lot of folks who put in many difficult times. This isn't any kind of proof of my own ability. Some of the things below I failed to do before zoning into HK my first time. So, if you want to stop reading now, please do! But, I'm hoping it can help a few people as while I can't promise that you'll be raiding immediately -- I can promise that you'll be ready for it! ---- [b]Getting Ready for Hammerknell Fortress[b] So you want to free Hammerknell from the wrath of Akylios? Great! The dwarves can certainly use the help...

Oyphisis Posted a Guide: Master CR (5 Bosses)
Hello there everyone! We did Master CR the other night so I figured i'd post the strategy that we came up with for each of the bosses for others to use or go on in an attempt to come up with their own plan to getting through. As we go on with the Master CR's, we will hopefully add the other 5 bosses. I will start with the more harder bosses that we did and move down to the easier bosses where it didn't matter but explain exactly what idea's and strategies we came up with. 1. High Thane Hergen - We started this boss off normally but what we realized was the adds not only putting DoT's on everyone but we also saw the higher damage from his AoE's that he drops...

Jewelyn Posted a Blog: PUG's
Ugggg!!! I cant say that I hate them, I guess, but I sure don't love them... LOL!!! I'm a very sensitive person by nature, and dislike being "yelled" at very much, and so even-tho this is a game and we are mostly communicating via text in chat, if i perceive that I am being "yelled at" I am most unhappy. :( And as I said I'm a sensitive person, so I'm sure that in some cases if not even most cases that I think I'm being "yelled at" that perhaps it is not really so. So When I muster up enough courage to join a PUG all by my little self "Go Me!!!" *pats self on the back*...

Jewelyn Posted a Battle Recap:
Tonight I went on my cleric Jewelyn into Caduseas Rise for the first time (i have no idea if i spelled that right). I went w Vanagloria, and Brasa, and Brumb, it was my first time in this particular dungeon as well as being Brasa and Brumb's first dungeon experience. So I asked Vana, as any "good" cleric should what I should expect from the bosses in this dungeon. Vana said w a laugh "Are you kidding?

Delphian Posted a Battle Recap: STORE UV AH DRUKEN ERO
After the haze had first lifted from my eyes, I found, well, this place, to be alight with color life and water. there is lots of water in my drinking doohikee. Anyway, We irreproachaboled the first boss with trepidation and fret. Stealthlyiness would be are only hope. The gods new this rabble behind me couldn't kill a squirrel. Even if you lit one on fire to make it easier. Even with a net! These fools had no proper educasion. My arrows would be enough. Now I will continue the recounting of the story at the dungeon with the group against the mobs...
