Our rotation in time is four days long. Thats four days to clear as far as we can. Before this time, we had spent the better part of 4 days trying to kill Vallon Zek. He's pretty much the gatekeeper to tier 5, and the hardest god up to this point. We've probably died to him over a dozen times. Anyway why am I telling you all this? Because, CTV killed Vallon Zek not once, but twice this rotation. In addition to that, he didn't kill us once. The guild was performing exceptionally well the last four days.

Now you might be thinking -- twice? That's right. Our turn started on Sunday. We cleared Phases 1, 2, and 3 extremely quickly and found ourselves back in tier 4. The first target was Tallon Zek...

Next up was his brother, Vallon Zek. Like I said before, he's the only real "challenge" for us in tier 4 anymore. Our first go at him ended with his foot someplace other than our ass:

This fight has been one of the most frustrating to figure out, but also one of the most satisfying to win. With these two down, we were clear to go to tier 5. Terris and Saryrn weren't up yet from our last kills, so we'd have to kill them on Monday.

Finally, tier 5. The final tier before Quarm. These are the real gods, not the demi-gods we'd flattened in the last tier. Cazic-Thule, Innoruuk, Rallos Zek, and Bertoxxulous.

So, we've made it to tier 5. What are we gonna do first? We decided on Cazic-Thule as the first target. He was pulled and we died with him around 75%. After res's were done we rebuffed and pulled him again. Without a tree to put him in CT isn't the same fight, but we managed to kill him anyway.

With CT down we tried Bertoxxulous next. Our first try ended with him about 54%. By this point it was pretty late on Sunday night and we tried Rallos Zek once to see what we'd need for the next day, then called it a night

Monday evening came and we blew through the tier 1 trials for the 1000th time and were back in tier 4. Saryrn and Terris had spawned, so we had to kill them before getting back to tier 5. They fell over and gave us their loot, and we were back in action.

Rallos Zek was our target for tonight. Being a weeknight, and the fact we had to clear tier 1 and then the 2 gimps in tier 4 again, we didn't have too long before people would need to log. Our first try of the night on Rallos had him standing at 20%. The second time, we got him to 17%. We res'd up and rebuffed, and went again. This time we got Rallos to 0%. ZERO. His animations had stopped and he was about to fall over dead. Again, we res'd and rebuffed. Fourth time was similar, with us losing around 20% yet again. Too late for anymore, we camped at that point. He would have to die on Tuesday.

Tuesday marked the launch of the Lost Dungeons of Norrath, and our instance was erased with the patch. That meant we'd have to clear tiers 1 through 4 tonight if we wanted to get back to where we were. We'd have to move fast...It would be hard...eh..

Tada. Back in tier 5. We completely blew through tier 4 yet again. The teamwork and motivation was incredible. Great job guys. Anyhow, it was late again so we called it. Wednesday would be our final day in time, and we wanted to make it count.

Wednesday came and we were back in time. After getting through the first phase in our sleep again, we pulled and killed Cazic-Thule. We got a Timeless Robe Pattern off him also.

Next was Rallos Zek. This fight is really cool, but frustrating after our 0% loss. Even the Warlord couldn't stop us though, as we laid waste to him on our first attempt of the night.

We got a few shots in on Bertoxxulous but couldn't pull off a win. We'll be gunning for him and Innoruuk next time we hit Time, and Quarm should be saying his prayers. Congrats to everyone on the great display of teamwork you showed during these four days. We destroyed almost everything that stood in our way.
