So in a month marred by sickness, we managed to at least put a team together and again throw ourselves against The Trial of the Crusader. using what we learned a couple of weeks past we were able to casually get through Gormok pretty much each attempt. The Two Jormungar continued to cause problems for us, however. With 10 o'clock looming and a call for last attempt we waded into the fray once more.

As always, Gormok fell easily - then the jormungar waded into the arena. With the frustration of paralytic poison and burning bile looming, we made it to the first transition without any problem. A clean switch and we were off again, focusing on Acidmaw. When Tadd got the poison, it was cleansed without incident. First major hurdle passed. Moments later and Acidmaw was dead while the entire group was still standing. But now we had to deal with everyone getting the Burning Bile....and the healers were running low on mana.

A few turns for each healer taking it easy and some steady DPS and Dreadscale fell for the first time in Sinful Spirits history. A brief moment of jubilation and the mighty yeti Icehowl pounced into the room...

Pixelvixen grabbed him and the fight was on.

Nobody dared ask the question of how it would go... The first knockback and he chose his target. Scrambling to get out of the way we surrounded him after he hit the wall....doing a steady amount of damage before Pixelvixen brought him back to the center of the ring. Second charge and Tadd was struck a glancing blow. Somehow, the tank managed to live.....but Icehowl was pissed - seriously pissed. Seeing the big red yeti sent a chill through the healers' hearts. Some serious healing was needed on Pixelvixen for the next few seconds, but she was kept alive. Then we settled into the rhythm of things. A few charges later and the mighty yeti lay dead at our feet.

Congratulations, Sinful Spirits. We may move into Icecrown Citadel when it comes out yet. In the meantime....

Jaraxxus awaits.
