re: Bogbereth Raid
by Andeon on 2010/05/11 5:36 pm
This Sunday, May the 16th, at 6pm EST (3pm PST), the Lonely Mountain Band is putting out a call to all it's stronghearted, valiant warriors, to foray into the far north of Angmar, and bring battle to the twisted child of Ungoliant, Bogbereth - Dreaded Brood Mother spider of Angmar!
This is an entry-level raid, meaning that you do not need any particularly special equipment or experience - a perfect opportunity for folks unfamiliar with raiding to get their feet wet without fear of criticism or persecution. The Kin is committed to entering the raid without any foreknowledge - people that have run the Bogbereth raid before, please, keep details to yourself. Our goal is simply to teach some foundational raiding strategies to ourselves, while having fun!
Characters need to be able to enter Angmar, and either have completed the quest that allows you to pass the barrier of fear statues, or we may be able to arrange hunters/captains to port you directly to Gath Forthnir. Expect to be around lvl 45 or higher. Also, if you want quest credit, try to pick up and/or finish "Bogbereth's brood", a quest available at Gath Forthnir, if I remember correctly.
If the raid proceeds quickly and/or if people are up for more afterwards, we may move the raid onward to other locations, including the Ettenmoors for PVMP experience, if people are willing and able!
Signups are available on the Calendar to reserve your position! Post questions here, or mail/tell Andeon for more information...
Good Hunting!

re: VICTORY!

The heroic adventurers of the Lonely Mountain Band, with considerable aid from old friends and new from all across middle earth, have laid low some of the most terrible servants of the Enemy this day! Bogbereth was defeated time (and time) and time again! Not content with this relatively quick victory, the group gathered other free folk, and laid siege to the fortress of Helegrod in the misty mountains! There, not only did they lay low a colossal giant, but defeated yet another of the monstrous brood of Ungoliant, and laid low a Dragon! YES! A dragon!...sort of...
oh...and then we killed a bear...It was a really big bear
WE WIN!
Thank you all that made the evening possible, all those that participated, and those that supported us! Hopefully, the evening was profitable for some, educational for many, and entertaining for all! A more detailed after-action report, complete with very, very large pics (many very, very large monsters, after all) can be found in the kin events forum, and my own observations about the mechanics of raiding I think I shall post in the halls of knowledge!
Thank you all again!
