Prison Breakin
Author: Gnub Thu Jun 11, 2009 3:07 pm
While it has undoubtedly been a quiet month, stuff has indeed been happening in Deliverance: Yogg-Saron's prison has been opened, and all his minions has bitten the dust... Which was slightly sad, to say the least, as we quickly found out that "Sara" wasn't exactly the damsel in distress...
With an epic effort of standing in clouds, while not standing in other clouds, but still standing in the clouds - but not too long - and shooting stuff, while dodging stuff falling from the skies, the being known as General Vezax toppled over, and granted us that final passage.
... but, what happend to the last of the four Keepers of Ulduar? Freya, Thorim and Hodir had - as earlier mentioned - proved quite a challenge (in different ways), but Mimiron had indeed remained hidden a few miles away.
Luckily enough, we survived the encounter, which was probably the reasoning for our dodging skills. But, in order to achieve that, we learned that his anti-personnel assault cannon was highly effective against flesh, that he wouldn't be able to fix the mess the cannon caused and that it all had indeed been a glorious... glory!
The reason this tale took so long to arrive? Well, I had to tell Mimiron about the Hodir-incident... Mechanical humor didn't seem to include a "break"-command in the never-ending loop of fun. |

Realizing the secrets we had learned at Hodir's computer, we fought hard not to talk about when we soon thereafter encountered Sif's man - Thorim.
... Given our natural "luck", he overheard our discussions about morals and whether or not that spear really belonged in such a place and went into a emo-rampage that almost left us splattered all over the walls, ceiling and floor.
He eventually got to his senses though, and ran away screaming about the loss of his love. Good thing for us that he left his stash of funky items behind on the floor.
Now... A certain mechagnome is all that remains so we can finally save the damsel in distress: Sara! |
The Easy Way Out
Author: Gnub Mon Apr 27, 2009 8:03 pm
Having grown tired of trying to whack sense into the heads of the various habitants of Ulduar, who had shown not to be too friendly against us, Deliverance decided to use brute hacking forces to surpass one of the Keepers of Ulduar - Hodir.
It proved quite simple actually, all it took was a few commands ... although some of the findings were quite disturbing indeed!

Eventhough the loot took a few hours to download - with the usual losses of the connection along the way, Deliverance succeeded. We even took the time to take a pretty picture of us besides Hodir's harddrive.
Salutations to the great hacker-minds of Deliverance, who made effort worthwhile! |
The Housewarming of Ulduar
Author: Gnub Fri Apr 24, 2009 8:39 am
Searching through the rubble of XT-002, Deliverance found an invitation to the official housewarming of Ulduar! Having heard many tales of this charming giant, which it was said that the beauty of his garments of rock and stone was only overshadowed by his karma, we decided to visit him, and have him as company to the party.
It would've seemed the good stories were wrong, as his first statement to our invitations to join us in the celebrations were "None shall pass!", as we ventured closer, thinking he hadn't quite heard us (we even tried convincing him with buns and marmelade).
We had to hand it to him, even though he had several flesh-wounds, scratches, was unarmed and being affected by both Insect Swarm and Army of Darkness, he still rained arm-ageddon on us.At the end of the day, several members had their visits to the pharmacy, but we soon found harmony again.
Ironically enough, the hosts of the more interior environments of Ulduar were more direct in their hostility, destroying the last hopes of free beer. Being tired of lies and false hopes, they were swifty hammered into new functional cans, only waiting to be filled with new deliverances of whoop-ass (... and beer).
There were rumours about foxy stone ladies that wanted to party further into Ulduar... but Deliverance got too drunk to venture further, so they decided to sleep out the hangovers...
Nah, just kidding. The beer-haze guided us forth to down the two ladies. In all ways possibly imagineable!
Zpike died valiantly after his tough efforts of roughly manhandling BOTH the ladies AND the raid - or maybe the hangovers finally got to him. Time will probably tell... |
Dungeon Siege
Author: Gnub Wed Apr 22, 2009 11:46 pm
The gates of Ulduar had finally opened up, and not long thereafter Deliverance got a very important message: A robot by the name of XT-002 Deconstructor had ordered a big can of whoop-ass!
So, with that mission held tight, The Deliverance-team decided to head out as fast as possible to help him out, but there were a few obstacles.
First, Flame Leviathan drove us crazy, but we soon burned him down with the good old "So Long & Tanks for all the Fish(feasts)!"
Eventhough we could see the joyful aerobic robot ahead, we decided to give Ignis the sickness, and nail Razorscale.
Unfortunately, we realized something a bit too late. XT-002 wasn't interested in our epic cans of whoop-ass, but just wanted to play, quite obvious by the continous yellings of "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!", loud complaining about his old toys. After sitting down with him and talking a bit about trains, XT-002 seemingly didn't find the train interesting, and ran into the usual problems of us bending the correct way.
Never the less, the can of whoop-ass was delivered, and Deliverance continued into Ulduar... but that's a tale for another evening!

Umph!-Effect
Author: Kira Mon Feb 09, 2009 8:54 pm
We craved for blood! The finest blood of Drakes and Dragon, and we found it!
Sartharion and his 3 Drakes have been slain!
The road was bumpy and we suffered hard times with many a wipes and many a discouragements...
On Sunday the 8th of February I was pumped up! I had been thinking about the nights raid for a long time and how we could approach it with the best attitude, and I was more confident that we would kill them this night than I ever was before.
After we cleared the trash and sorted what needed to be sorted I was about to do a "Ball-Moment"-speach. This speach ends with me playing MC Hammer - Can't Touch this! saying "Allright! Let's do it!" followed up by Heanfax uttering;
"I need to pee, give me a min afk!"
...
..
.
Talk about anti climax! 
We wiped twice after that, and on the kill we had a almost perfect run with 1 random death, and a funny AE taunt (that could've been disastrous!). A really clean kill and a raid that worked together perfectly.
The feeling was for sure the best I've had so far in this expansion and I would like to thank everyone and their mother (Guess Tyrian is thanking fiffs mother especially) for beeing such a blast and good company and great raiders!
And ofcourse a big grats the Peenfax, lottering our first Drake! It sure is beauty 
<3
Great work people! Bring on Ulduar!
... Can't Touch this... *Duuu DuDuDu* |
A kind of magic!
Author: Gnub Mon Dec 15, 2008 4:24 pm
After yet another dragon bit the dust, this one been slightly more alive than the previous. Also, we're not entirely sure he actually bit the dust, as we just saw him falling limbly downwards...
Nevertheless, Queen of the Red Dragonflight, Alexstrasza, appeared to us, and uttered a few words of wisdom, and there were much rejoicing:
It's a kind of magic, It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be... It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a kind of magic
Since the above has to be true, it must define Deliverance as a unison with a single determined soul, with one goal to pursue. The shaft of light could perhaps be the holy priestly being of Fiff that guided us to victory - in true Deliverance spirit.
One price? Actually, there were several, but for now the true prize is the fact that all of Northrend's bad guys has lied before our feet (except Malygos, which we're still looking for, he has to be down there somewhere...?).
Also, since no mortal man could win that day, it's obvious that we're immortal... *cough*
Good job! For now, Ulduar awaits us... |
Naxx to the Maxx
Author: Gnub Thu Dec 11, 2008 6:22 pm
Returning to Naxxramas proved to be just as fun as expected. And, for the sake of the inhabitants, it was probably a good thing for them that they were dead already. Most of them didn't catch the license plate of the [insert word that resembles a combination of pizza, steamroller and whoop-ass here]-delivery truck that hit them square in the face. The only real problem proved to be a demanding costumer that required a thad extra pepper-owny on his pizza.
After that shocking experience, Sapphiron at last got his delivery: [The Revenge Burger], which was - in true spirit - served cold, as we all liked it.
Thus, the time came to visit the man... lich... stickman, whatever-thing that ruled over the citadel: Kel'Thuzad. I'm sure he had a grand plan about what he wanted to do to us, but he never really got that far. Needless to say, he died. Again. This time though, it was for good. As you can see in the middle of the picture, I noticed something peculiar on the floor.
It was, indeed, a GIANT ball, which has been passed on to its rightful owner. Grats Kira! |
Looking back...
Author: Gnub Fri Dec 05, 2008 8:55 pm
... over our shoulders, quite a few things have happened lately.
After Sathrovarr the Corruptor had his defeat back on the 1st of September, Deliverance continued our progress in the Sunwell, and had some deep conversations about politics, cake recipes and other intellectual subjects. In the end though, he got a bit angry and, sadly for us, his argumentations were a bit too effective (like "I'm right, or you die!"). We even tried outdoing it some fancy coding tricks:
| Code: | FIFF
Deliverance.deliverWhoopassTo(Brutallus);
THEN
Brutallus.die;
Brutallus.give(Epics);
ELSE
Deliverance.die;
|
In the end, we had to take it up with Blizzard, who gave us [Resolution 3.0.2], which gave us a lot of new options. As a result of that, the rest of the inhabitants of Sunwell dropped on their backs calling for their mothers. Kil'Jaeden, who probably didn't hear about the new Resolution while taking his portal-bath, didn't give in. He was however close to giving in to our argumentations.
These days, we have made our ways into Naxxramas (again), and wrecked much havoc. Kel'Thuzad is soon coming to a heroic end... and there WILL be much rejoicing. Kel'Thuzad is soon coming to a heroic end... and there WILL be much rejoicing. |
