Apotheosis would like to wish you and yours a very happy holiday season!
And here’s a little something I whipped up for the guild, but thought I should share. :)
Twas the Night before Christmas – Apotheosis style!
by Kurn (apologies to Clement Clark Moore)
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the guild
Not a raid was ongoing, no bosses were killed.
In the forums were some posts spreading good cheer
(Arolaide suggested a good holiday beer!)
The members were gathered by the Dwarven bank
Pondering strats for heroic Morchok’s tank.
And the officers in o-chat, grinning with pride,
Knew it wouldn’t be long before that big ol’ boss died.
Tikari was there, asking to run some heroics,
while Kurn admonished some in Trade, acting like dicks.
Daey, at long last done with his busy season,
managed to log on and get in some teasin’.
“How ’bout those Pens?” he predictably asked us,
“Certainly better than those Habs!” making Kurn cuss.
Keeping the peace, Tia suggested an MC clear,
“Come one, come all, let’s get some cool transmogging gear!”
Everyone jumped at the chance to grab their Tier 1,
possible bindings and more, it would definitely be fun!
So all of us flew to that godforsaken zone
and prepared to do battle, kill some bosses and pwn!*
(* pwn pronounced as “pown”)
Chronis and Kal were the first people there,
they pulled both Molten Giants with nary a care.
Merk, Shawnelle and Fog arrived next, weapons ablaze,
ready to kill any bosses before their second phase.
Ludde showed up next, Sturm right at his side,
and headed straight to Lucifron, but he’d already died.
Kam summoned Tia and Toga and Sara and Kurn.
They got down to Magmadar in time to see that dog burn.
People had tweeted and more had logged on,
they all joined the raid group, arriving before long.
There was Jasyla and Jay with Feather and Hitoku,
as well as Raymiee and Slout and Cinderhaze, too.
Garr was dead and Kurn wanted to pet-pull Baron Geddon,
though they all waited a bit for more to head in.
Majik and Mabs arrived shortly with Walks just behind them,
while Void popped on after having played Skyrim.
More summons were sent and in came Mhoe and Kit,
Then all three shadow priests showed up for a bit.
Aro and Srs and Serrath zoned in,
Just in time to see Sulfuron down on his chin.
To Golemagg our raid went, now ever bigger,
and sliced him down quick, proving our vigour.
Delandruss and Dayden appeared, joining in all the fun,
and X zoned in too, before we were quite done.
Majordomo Executus stood boldly in our way,
so we killed his 8 friends and he quickly ran away.
Dar popped on Mumble, just to tempt us with wine,
and gratsed us on our recent kill of Deathwing’s Spine.
“TOO SOON, EXECUTUS!” came the familiar words,
and soon we were beating down Rags, as we are all nerds.
T2 legs went for vanity and transmogrification rolls,
while the Eye of Sulfuras didn’t drop, hurting Daey’s soul.
The raid was now done and it was time to log off,
and a good time was had by all, even Kurn (you may scoff).
But before logging off, vanishing at the speed of light,
we wished each other a Merry Christmas and to all a good night.
