They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard!

The hobbits! The hobbits! The hobbits! The hobbits! To Isengard! Okay... sorry but if you haven't seen this little video, its a must see as we await the official launch of Return to Isengard on 27-Sep-2011.  If you have already seen it - oh well... ;)

In case it doesn't work, click here to view!

While crusin' GLFF in the 21st hall, I snapped this photo because Gravy was being cute and hilarious jumping around with his big flower.  A nod to Eldrandir, Viduo, Setzgloin, and Eliecia who were also there.

Okay, seriously boys - I said I needed a minute for a bio break and coffee (yes, I see the irony in that), but it's no excuse to mock me by pretend sleeping on the job!  Get up, or maybe I'll let you heal yourselves!  :)  Delques and Orand take in the sights of a School/Library STM run.

While wandering the cliffs of eastern Mirkwood, I noticed some circling birds off in the distance, and decided to go for a looksee.

Hm.  Bad idea - they're not birds, but the Nazgul circling over Dol Goldur.  Clearly the enemy is not too worried about their fortress here... not a mob in sight all across the entrance bridge.  :)

Another Grand Stairs run with Eldrandir, Tavomarth, Generad, Severas, and Aelion.  It was a tankless run... at least from the classical standpoint.  A few buffs and focused healing, and Eldrandir served quite well (even for a hunter).  ;P

Ran through Stone Height a few times to get my two Padlock Bracelets. Here Delques and Ramodez join me in a run.

Was taken for my first Halls of Night instance run with Ibelin.  Great fun!

Here we are running into one of the zones of Halls of Night.  Cool effects (we glow and are partly see-through), and some great graphic scenery designs in here.

Like my see-through dress?  How about an upside down room?  Am I dreaming?!?

The colour guard of Nightmare.  :)  Loved this instance - will have to do again a few times!

Although hard to tell in this shot (sucks when you forget to take pictures during combat), but Acidor and I ran Sword Halls just as two L65 minis.  Although it took a little longer than a normal run, we had a blast, and more iXP for me!  :)  Thanks, Acid!

Ordered the Isengard pre-package this week.  Here's my little hobbit warden decked out in the green Isengard outfit and horse.  Ranph looks on while checking his mail.  Check out my Stables for a couple pictures of two of the new horses available!

"Hey!  Are you tired?  Seriously, I'll put down my sword if you put down your rock.  I think we could both use an afternoon nap."

Me and the Grey King catch an afternoon nap in Enedwaith.  Sadly after our nap, he didn't get up... ever. ;P

Isn't this an impressive raid party?  Can't you see the other 11 members hiding on Weathertop with me?  Heh... well due to some poor announcements and planning, this week's PMS Raid for the ladies of Dwarrowdelf kinda flopped.  We'll get it together next time!

Went and joined an OD Tier2 PUG group instead to tackle Wound Wing.  :)  Gotta love it when 80% of the group has never been in here before.  Our first attempt went like this... "Okay, in a minute we're going to stand on the pedestals to start the instance.  Hey, I said in a minute!" <stomp, stomp, stomp>"  Yep, my group runs ahead into the maze, but the other two groups wipe as they stand there watching the mammoths approaching.  After that it improved significantly.  :)  It was a great first attempt for the group - sure we wiped lots, but it's all about learning how it works, tweaking your groups for each corridor, and being patient.  :)  Grats to Joseff, Valadaa, Defwish, Engelwulf, Gustafsson, Gyasi, Jazria, Elower, Morwyne, and Merrili for sticking with it as long as you did.  Good experience and efforts all around!

I bump into the great Youngguido up at Nar's Peak in Enedwaith.  :)

Another run of Grand Stairs, this time with Oseltamivir, Artfuldodger, Doomsie, Nedbo, and Haugand.

Caliath and Delques run through our school/lib dailies for STMs.

Me and my fellow kinmates Caliath, Delques, Artfuldudger, Nevwyn, and Hain from The Last Company prepare to head into a run of Grand Stairs. 

I think this was a run of Fil Gashan.  Nobody here but us orcs.  Seriously... I can't list names here, because we just orcs.  Really.  Stop asking, because I don't know who they all are - but those suits stank!

Eldrandir and Kilfalis put their lives in my hands for a run of School/Library.  We lived.

What are you staring at?  Haven't you ever seen the Cowiraff?  It's a native long-necked bovine from Enedwaith.  This one is Betsy.  She says "hi!".

Another run of GS - this time I got to run in DPS mode - lots of fun! Thanks to Thuridan, Layana, Ninthiel, Slyrond, and Govi for letting me tag along.

I take a moment to serenade some people at the 21st Hall milestone marker.  Can you tell me who the six other people are in the picture?  :)

I think this is Delques joining me and Orglock for a run through Sword Halls.  Can't be sure... so many of us change our outfits multiple times a day (me included), I start to loose track.  :)  I bet that troll can do a mean breast stroke!

<sigh>  Aren't we the cute couple, colour coordinated even!  Youngguido and I get snuggly in the craft hall.

Love and hugs to all my fellow Dwarrowdelfians,

Sarharien -- Bowchick of Red and Collector of Shoes

Kierraen -- Minstrel of Delightful Octaves of Pain
Niphredila -- Warden of Gleeful Green Giggles
