Stay Frosty, Part Deux


After the fun distraction that was Fableds 2008, Fury returned to progression with a mission: to complete the Frostcrypt 2 raid.

We had a lot of fun with the tricky Overseer:



He kept us busy for a while as we tried different things to try to kill him while his gremlins made general nuisances of themselves. (I don't have a kill pic but we toasted him.)

Congrats to Ljes (Iridescent Pearl of Icy Precision) and Sabbu (Fire-Runed Icepearl). These loots may be from an earlier event, my recordkeeping leaves something to be desired some nights.

Since I no longer watch Gladiator movies, I don't have a screenshot of Wulfnor's corpse either =( Rest assured, he wound up in a Turkish Prison (to his surprise). Congrats to Tenamcex, (A Timeworn Glove Mold), Garinus (A Timeworn Armguard Mold), Lashden (Runed Necklace of Living Bone), and Calidrin (Carved Blood Ice Choker).


The next night, we came up against this guy:


A few tries later (okay, several), Fridleif, Master Warcraft enjoyed a faceplant vacation:

Congrats to Lilbitbad (A Timeworn Bracer Mold), Shiftie (A Timeworn Glove Mold), Gestyn (Ice Enameled Gorget of Battle) and Lashden (Scorched Froststeel Ring).


That let us move into a strangely empty room with one momo cowering at the back. Not very kingly there, Beltron:


On our VERY FIRST attempt (and another jaw-dropper it was), we MADE HIM DEAD!



I've gotta say, that was damn unexpected. Lots of good tankage, healage, and of course the magic assling there in the foreground were the keys to our success. Along with a few kick-ass officers calling commands and the Fury machine functioning like the well-oiled machine that it can be when we really try.

WTF FURY!

(Pardon me, had to get that out).

We'll slide these raids onto our farm list. Time to turn our attention to Ashengate. Expect to see us burning through those ASAP!

Now for something completely different!

Mistells are our bread and butter.


Abif keeps us in stitches.





Kire is... Kire.


Let's just pile it on.


That's it for this update! Remember, Veeshan's Fury is accepting applications for most classes from great players. Visit our messageboard at the link on the right and check out our Recruits Applications forum if you're interested in joining us!

Falbed Fun!



Fury has had a great time killing Fabled mobs in the last month! Planes of Power was a favorite expansion of many of us, so revisiting those zones to get new gear was great fun.

Even when a dev got a bit careless with their typing:


Congrats to Cheyennethunder, Oglops and Leezaard (Fabled Scintillating Feather Mask) - okay so she only had one loot.

Plane of Fire gave up tons of goodies. Our friend, old tight-ass Blazzax was a chump:


Congrats to Calidrin, Ilsidri and Nilbog on Fabled Cape of Flames!

We had a couple of exciting, low numbers kills on the Rainman himself, Agnarr the Stormlord. Seen here, he appears to be sexually harassing Mystere even in death.


Congrats to Tumblenikki and Zemm (Fabled Amulet of the Rain), as well as Kylerion (Fabled Longbow of the Stormcaller).

The Fabled Aerin `Dar was a fun fight, with that lovely fear making the raid run around like Rylak in pursuit of a Vienna Sausage. Our knights really shined on this one:


Congrats to Glaum and Slithern (Fabled Valorous Quarterstaff) and Subash (Fabled Ring of Nobility).

Everyone knows and loves the bird that shadowsteps the entire raid constantly, The Fabled Quavonis Firetail:


Congrats to Leante, Prisella and Sabbu (Fabled Cloak of Combustion).

Moving into Sol Ro's Tower, the minis were hard to find up due to pickup raids going on while most of us were at work or school. Once in a while we did manage to kill firepants himself:


Congrats to Beornie, Faeggas and Lashden on Fabled Gauntlets of the Burning Prince.

Finally the big badass himself, the crowd favorite The Fabled Warlord, Rallos Zek! His event was somewhat challenging due to one of the Zek brothers being fabled (with no loot tho) and his own ass-beatery. We did manage to smoke him a few times:


Congrats to Debanie and Solsticemoon (Fabled War Charm of Crossed Blades), as well as Mystere (Fabled Red Eyed Mask of Rage). Oh, and yours truly managed to score a Fabled Blade of War in one truly epic, jaw-dropping win! I will love him and call him George.

Not pictured here, but we also killed the following Fableds:
Fabled Terris Thule, Fabled Rinturion Windblade, Fabled Saryrn (Plane of Time), Fabled Criare Sunmane, Fabled Babnoxis, Fabled Pyronis, Fabled Magmaton, Fabled Chancellor Traxom, Fabled Mithaniel Marr, Fabled Reaxnous the Chaoslord, Fabled Azobian the Darklord, Fabled Hebabbilys the Ragelord, Fabled Javonn the Overlord, Fabled Chancellor Kirtra, Fabled Omni Magus Crato, Fabled Warlord Prollaz, Fabled Bertoxxulous, Fabled Arch Magus Yozanni, Fabled Jaxoliz Dawneyes, Fabled Criare Sunmane, Fabled Xuzl, Fabled Arlyxir, Fabled Rizlona, Fabled Protector of Dresolik, Fabled General Reparm, Fabled Jiva, Fabled Grioihin, Fabled Hydrotha, Fabled Krziik the Mighty, Fabled Vallon Zek, Fabled Peregrin Rockskull, Fabled Perfected Warder of Earth, Fabled Monstrous Mudwalker, and Fabled Grummus.

Now that was a hell of a month! According to the auditing team at Arthur Anderson, we scored approximately 337 fabled loots! And in one final Fabled orgy on the last night of Fabled mobs, we managed to knock out fourteen mobs in a four-hour marathon! (Amended - Fableds were extended one more night in which Fury downed another ten mobs.) Many thanks to SoE for giving us this brief change of pace and all of the good upgrades to help us move along.

Now back to progression!
