It's been about 6 months since THB attempted Gruul's Lair. Now that we were more reasonably geared up to make an attempt, Basil/Wandjina (Roses of Dawn) organized a Gruul's outing on Sunday, December 16th. Alas, due to his computer problems, he had to hand over the reins to Zam (The One) and watch from the sidelines as the valiant team made 4 attempts on the High King, bringing him down, down, down! Terhen (Shaman), Lauralie (Hunter), and Clout (Paladin) walked away with the loot (identical shoulder tokens for Terhen and Clout – Pauldrons of the Fallen Champion – and Maulgar's Warhelm for Lauralie). This is a THB first and we're quite chuffed that we did it essentially on our first visit ever.

Enthused with our success, the group carried on to attempt Gruul himself. Alas, we didn't quite master the "Stoned Shatter Dance". We made several attempts on Gruul, but each one was improved. On the fourth and final attempt, we had him down to 27%. That's a very impressive showing indeed for the Honourbound Alliance. If we can only learn to dance in step, we should have him down in no time. We have the healers and we have the DPSers.

For those interested in such things, you'll find the raid stats and a list of people who made the raid possible at http://www.honourbound.org/raids/ Just look for the Gruul's Lair run from Sunday, December 16th.

Good work, all!
