The release of hardmode ToC did provide us with something of a challenge, which was refreshing after the disappointing ease of normal-mode ToC. We had a turn of poor luck on the faction champions, getting what is reportedly the hardest combination, forcing us to pure pvp specs in attempts to survive. We adapted and finally overcame the faction champions this past week, though admittedly with an easier combination of enemies; we hope that upcoming faction champions fights will become easier with time.

With the ever so stressful Alliance Champions now resting peacefully 6 feet under, we invited 2 fine young ladies in Fjola Lightbane and her marvelous sister Edyis Darkbane to join the fray.

After a very cordial introduction on our first night, we reconvened to share our opinions of them more thoroughly. Our second attempt of that night became their last. With perfect synergy and lightning reflexes, even our fumbling Taurens seemed like ninjas.

Lightbane and Darkbane now rest below with Anub'arak. Or as we like to call him... our next target!
