Brief Event Overview

Know your group number please, as we do have to split up for add/mini mob handling.

For this event, we begin by killing some trash lizard troublemakers until they flee and a mini-boss named Kerchak spawns.

Following the death of Kerchak, we must kill seven mini-bosses that spawn one after the other.

During the entire event, other trash adds continuously spawn and must be dealt with.  Groups will be assigned for these.

Once the final mini-boss Grime is dead, our looters will coordinate their temple moves and activate the final FOUR Bosses; one per temple.

As with all the bosses listed above, each have a form of AE, and/or emote we MUST deal with properly.

ALL Trigger information is available in the related Text & Audio Trigger section below.

Any questions, please ask reply to this thread, and/or ask in the FLRaids:raids channel.  Thanks.

Glyphs & Temple Activation

* Lead: Ssark
* By assignment: Soandso, Soandso ... TBA/prepped (by lead).

Each of the 7 mini-bosses drops a Glyph.  When a Glyph is looted, the person may be emoted revealing one of the temple named in the message.  Each Glyph is used to turn off the damage aura at the associated temple.

Four of the Glyphs will emote.  Three Glyphs will not (and have no use).  Grimes Glyph is never required.

All of the Glyphs are droppable (to allow trading if needed).

When Grime dies, four players who have useful Glyphs must coordinate together and all run to the temple named that goes with their glyph.  This will turn off the damage aura and activate the named at each temple.

Failure to activate the temple named within 20 seconds of Grime's death results in several adds spawning.  Adds will continue to spawn every few seconds as long as the temple named aren't aggro'd.
 
Grime death emote for 20 second start: Diviner of Dread shouts 'I warned you that this would happen! The first of our defenses is down!'

Mob		Glyph
The Boogeymonster		Glyph of the Nightcreep
The Frightflinge		Glyph of the Twicedead
The Tentacle Terror Mentor		Glyph of the Engulfing Menace
The Thoughtleader		Glyph of the Blind Eye
The Turbulance Toad		Glyph of the Unrest
The Spinefreezer Queen		Glyph of the Innaction
Grime, Amygdalan General		Glyph of the Horror

 

Emotes & Spells

Whoever loots a useful glyph will see an emote and will have a (one-time) spell cast upon them:

	Archon of Anxiety
	Emote: I do not fear that trinket, Soandso. And I DO know the meaning of fear. Here's a lesson for you!
	Unholy Terror: HP DoT incremental + Root + Silence + ATK Speed decrease 300% (Curse 30)
	Cenobite of Fear
	Emote: You shall not live long enough to use that, Soandso! From Cazic's heart I stab at thee!
	Distant Heart Strike: 30k DD + 5k DoT + Heart Seizure (on fade, 60k DD + Stun (3s) + FD), (disease 30 counters)
	Diviner of Dread
	Emote: I foresaw that you, Soandso, would recognize that for what it is. It would be best if you were to throw it into the river.
	Future Pain: 50k DD
	Templar of Terror
	Emote: So, you want to take me on? That works for me. Come over here where I can get at you, Soandso!
	Grasping Hand of Terror: 5k DoT + Push (pulls player towards the temple), (Curse 30 counters)

Successful Activation Emotes

Templar of Terror shouts 'Finally, they are free to enter our temples! Come, fight us if you dare! I long to taste your blood.'

Diviner of Dread shouts 'You've interfered enough!'

Cenobite of Fear shouts 'You've interfered enough!'

Archon of Anxiety shouts 'You've interfered enough!'

Time Elapsed Emotes

You'll see the following emotes if you let too much time pass between Grime's death and temple activation:

Cenobite of Fear shouts 'Ah, they think to leave me alone, then I shall add my power to the rift! It will become permanent soon enough!'

Templar of Terror shouts 'They fear me too much to fight me. I am free to empower the gate!'

Archon of Anxiety shouts 'None of the intruders are near. I shall channel the faith of our followers into the gate!'

Diviner of Dread shouts 'I knew I would have this moment free. I shall entice power to the gate! I will bring more creatures through, which will strengthen the gate.'

* Note: For each single emote, an additional penalty add spawns.

First attempt Thurs, February 9, 2012:

Three attempts.  Overall, good progress in sizing up, and reaching glyph stage.

Prepped /rs caller(s) via PM for the mini-bosses (stage 2); to help AE reactions/acclimation.

Everyone please ensure that you have our GTT imports installed for this event.  As mentioned in the strat post, there are several Targeted AEs that require proper reactions.

More good attempts last night.  Fear adds group seemed just about perfect / up to the task.  7 Minis and lizard trash handled very well.  On the last attempt, we disengaged just fine, and did a good position transition to the final setup.

We think we know what the problem is for 4 final bosses.  We will need to recruit four people similar to what we do with the Tick Tock rooms.  Those people will need the optional glyph loot .GTT file downloaded and tested, and will need the map coordinates working (or know all four temples and their bosses).

BTW, this is the last phase of the raid, the 4 bosses.  It's not easy, but not too many more tricks to learn.  We're closer than you might think.

Looking forward to the next attempt.

Just a note on the adds that were being tanked tonight by Group 6. Once the minis were done and the temples were engaged by the tanks. I was tanking one of  wisp mobs (forgot the actual name) I got summoned to one of the temples and had some sort of crud that would not allow me to move from the temple, died the first time I got knocked back, I tired to cure but somehow did not work. Second time on a wisp mob got knocked back again and  I waited on the crud to go and was able to run back and tank the adds again.

Mistatk got ported on Dread engage right off as well.  Ranger WS'd briefly until MT was back in range.

Defeated Thursday, February 23, 2012:

Nice work everyone.  Very clean, well executed.  We didn't spend alot of time on this event in fact; a tribute to your raid focus and discipline.

This win unlocks our ability to request T2 HoT raids.
