Awesome Maraudon Run

A full clear, including Rotgrip and Gizlock, with just one Wipe.

After downing Celebras the Cursed our Hunter claimed it was his bedtime and logged off. Up until then it had been a very smooth Run so we decided to push on and 4-man the rest, but as we cleared our way to Landslide tragedy struck.

While fighting one of the many trios of Stegosaurus, a roving pair of Earth Elementals aggroed onto our Shammy Healer, and before I knew what was happening he was dead. I grabbed Aggro and the Shadow Priest tried to take over Healing but a second Pat of Elementals joined the fray and with 3 to 1 odds (against us) we were quickly overwhelmed.

Then, while running back in, both myself and the Shammy (who claimed to be on his first Toon, and just might have been, too) got lost, and we were forced to wait for a Rez before we could get back underway. This time the Dinos went down without a problem and when the Pats appeared I grabbed Aggro and we smashed them as well.

The rest of the run was a piece of cake.

Landslide gave up his Helm of the Mountain, which I Needed, won uncontested, and immediately equipped. The Princess was also good to me and upon her death bed presented me with a new pair of leggings. With her down the Shadow Priest thanked us for the run then bailed.

Fortunately the Shammy & Druid stayed behind so we leaped off into the water and took out Rotgrip, who dropped his cloth Shoulders. The Druid & Shammy rolled Greed while I passed. We then fought our way to Gizlock and a prolonged battle in which the Druid ran out of his fire and into a nearby group of Dinos, where she naturally died. I told her not to Release and with the Shammy healing me one-manned the Goblin Boss to his slow but inevitable death, after which I Rez'd the Druid.

I was hoping that by not Releasing she'd be able to loot Gizlock, and for my consideration toward my fellow player Karma smiled on me and Gizlock offered up his Shield. The Shammy was keen to roll Need on it but when I mentioned I'd like it he graciously passed and let me have it, uncontested.

With a new Helm, Leggings, Shield, and a Fiery-enchanted Jang'Thraze, my Pally is looking more and more like a real Tank.
