WilliamBrandis Posted a Battle Recap: The one in which we fail to take any keeps and Fog would rather be playing GRW which looks like to be an awesome
I'm tired so brief recap - Fog: "I have literally the worst people ever possible playing this game following me right now. There is no way I can take a base. I mean, maybe if the enemy is already dead. But probably not even then. Someone else is going to have to tag up and go fight these guilds. Because my group sucks. I can't stress just how much it sucks. Like, we're talking black hole here. The light of my life has been drained into this vortex of emptiness that is this group. So yeah, basically we can't take those keeps...

Elaenna Posted a Battle Recap: Eluveittie
Hope I spelled that correctly.... such patience and excellent direction and helpfulness on working this long involved Callweddi workshop. High five.... 3 times over. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Gives me a lot to look forward to during downtimes between Rift events and I won't drive my hubby so crazy when I can't sleep and am looking for something to do. LOL.... he's a sweetheart and tries not to holler at me too much as I chatter his ears off at 3 a.m. ;) Sometimes as I try to make sure to grant event leaders Valor points it doesn't always let me 'remark' on how I felt the leader did so I hope its ok to do it here...

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: Telara Saga: Dousing The Wanton Menace
We returned to Steppes of Infinity to face a new threat: The Wanton. Fiery rifts filled the skies, burning the horizon before us. The Dragon Cult from the Plane of Fire was in full force, attempting to blaze a path of destruction across an already bleak landscape. Our orders were clear, though: Defeat the leaders of this army and extinguish the conflagration of their march. Amidst the cacophony of chaos, Gaiscioch and friends stood strong to try and quell this heated incursion! (In-ferno-cursion?) Scorching Fire's charring zerg Conflagrations doth ignite...

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: RIFT Raiding Fun Run (March 6, 2017)
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Well, the best time for Gaiscioch and friends and the worst for all those raid bosses who are now taking a little necro-nap. We ran through Greenscale's Blight (does that dragon ever learn?), River of Souls, and Infernal Dawn. Then we took on two of the Bindings of Blood raid instances. Success all around! (For us, not them.) Speaking of them, they seemed to have a common trait. Most of them were dragons. So many dragons! Just dragons, dragons, dragons, and more...

WilliamBrandis Posted a Battle Recap: Wary ye traveler! This foe may teleport you!
We were walking around when suddenly there was this monster! Our raid leader was like 'whoa traveler' and then we went to fly in to fight it. However instead of flying in I jumped to my death. The rest of this story is just a fever death dream I had as my bloody bled out. For about 2 hours we threw ourselves at this creature trying to figure out to break it, when in the second hour we realized that this creature could teleport you!! This caught everyone by surprise - how could this be possible?! What's more, is the teleporting may have been linked to some red circles...

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: Low Level Zone Invasion Hunt (March 4, 2017)
We traveled across Mathosia thwarting the seemingly unending invasions that plague Telara. However, this trip decided to take an odd turn. Water and Death rifts that spawned...FIRE invasions!? Are the planes working together against us now? Is the Blood Storm rising anew? Or was there just a glitch in the particular Water and Death rifts in Iron Pine Peak where we experienced this abnormality? We may never know. But we did get a whole bunch of achievements for our efforts! So all is well.

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: Telara Saga: Confronting the Storm Legion
Having held back the tide of invasions that were being unleashed across Brevane, Gaiscioch and friends gathered this week in Dusken to face the forces of Crucia which were blowing into the Steppes of Infinity. Defeating Planarchs, rifts, and invasions alike; the Storm Legion was quelled and Forts Brevo and Antapo secured from planar threats. Yet another successful event and enjoyable evening for all participants! And since our focus was on Air...I figured a poem as equally light and breezy: a haiku! Like a mighty wind, Storm Legion charge Ascended, victory is ours...

Zoomzoom Posted a Battle Recap: 6 months gone from such epic battles
Much time has passed since I have partaken in wvw. Took a while to get bearings, but leader was awesome. I think we had 2 squads, one was a leading necro, there were GSCH tags everywhere. It is so awesome to see. With such great numbers, and being new to the map, I would occasionally get disoriented but it was always easy to find squad members to get going again. Eventually I started hearing call outs to those familiar places "Hills" or "Bay", and was able to enjoy the onslaught ! The hills battle was down right hilarious as we were out numbered but got lucky as red and blue battled it out with one another as we took over the keep and then managed to hold it as a large 3 way battle broke out...

MtDewd stepped up since Fog was out of town. Bresedeadh, Jessica. Roddalf and Treaa in various characters joined in and we slaughtered Hammerknell Fortress several times over. Great fun... Elaena had a good time and then popped over to get Emmeria and she gained level 66. Thanks for the run.. and the fun along the way.

Zoomzoom Posted a Battle Recap: Kitty is the master of explaining fractals
She takes the time to make sure everyone is on board, explains what is about to happen, coaches you during the chaos and then recaps the best way to do fractals afterward. If university profs taught this well, the whole world would be wayyyyy smarter.

Elaenna Posted a Battle Recap: Callweddi
I was only able to hear a tiny bit of Eluveittie's information on the Callweddi achievement, and hope to make it next week as he details additional info. Sounds like it will be a long run but I enjoy those types. He also sounds like he knows not only what he's doing, but how to get the information across to others easily. Elaenna

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: Low Level Zone Invasion Hunt (February 25, 2017)
Piggyback rides on Volan! Or maybe we were just jumping on his head to kill him. Once again, we were the bane of invasions, rifts, and strongholds all across Telara! Gaiscioch and friends focused on the continents of Mathosia, Brevane, and Dusken in an effort to hold back the tide of planar problems that continue to wash over the lands. Maybe one day we'll find the switch to all these rifts and finally just turn them off. Or maybe we'll open our own rifts in their planes and see how THEY like it!

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: Telara Saga: Hunting the Endless Court
Death comes for us all. Or is it that we all came for Death? Major rifts from the Plane of Death were vanquished all across the Dendrome as Gaiscioch and friends took up the banner of the Telara Saga. As always, a fun night deserves a fun poem: There once was a group of Ascended, who formed against Death and defended, the vast desert plain, Dendrome in Brevane, turning the Court from Endless to ended. After defeating both major rifts and strongholds, we turned our gaze towards the Venefic Locus to face Ahkane the Eternal...

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: TITLE: RIFT Raiding Fun Run (Feb. 20, 2017)
Another successful night of conquering older raids, getting achievements, and just having some good tuatha fun! Our raid itinerary (in order) included: Greenscale's Blight River of Souls Infernal Dawn Full clears, but we did have a bit of a snafu with passing loot items through the raid so that everyone could unlock the appearances. It's definitely one of those things that will be what we joke about in retrospect...so I figured it needed a poem to commemorate it! Items galore, passed hand to hand, from squirrel to shield, this was the plan...

Eldritch Posted a Battle Recap: Low Level Zone Invasion Hunt
Just a casual Saturday morning... Shard hopping, jumping from zone to zone, mentoring appropriately, defeating invasions, closing rifts, and killing event bosses. You know, the simple things in Telaran life. We managed to defend Mathosia from all things invasion. Except for that one that happened while we were distracted by the Nightmare Rift. We don't talk about that. Ever. What invasion? Stillmoor was like that when we got there.
