The Challenge Issued
Bored on IRC one day we decided to issue a challenge to all those toons in Nightfall that could/wanted to spend 12hrs non stop at keyboard. The target is a little 0.o because we didnt agree whether it was to colect as many badges as possible or complete as many heroics in 12hrs.
3 rules:
1. Have fun
2. No flying mounts (except to get to netherstorm instances), no flight paths.
3. 3 wipes in 10mins and we move onto another instance after 10min break.
The beginning
Only one team accepted the challenge. Big thanks to Plodders, Blahaims, Dalfryth, Emzi for accepting the challenge and making the day all it could be.
The final attack sequence was:
Bot => Mech => SP => SV => UB => SethH => BM
It took us a little time to wake up and warm up, but when we were in the groove we definately prooved that Nightfall is a force to run away from :]
Netherstorm
Botanica
Decided on a warm up to start with Bot, seemed the obvious choice :] With the CC of sap, trap and OT we were unstopable. First death went to Dalf:

First wipe was also in Bot, but that was due to some ill-possitioning of mobs so we pulled the pat. Was nps, we came back, killed the pat for revenge ;]
You know its a good group though when Commander Sarannis's death is 48'secs and therefor didnt summon her ads ;]
Mech
Mech was where we could tell that maybe it was a little early for us to be up and instancing ;] a couple of w00ps pulls but nothing we couldnt handle as we started to wake up.
Mech was also where we first encountered our dc's. All those that were on for an extended period of time yest willknow what Im talking about.
Our first dc was kinda like a "ha take that bloodhoof" cause Emzi didnt dc and took down the last mob ;] OP hunters for you ;] /hugs Emzi
Our second came and went but our dc on Pathaleon the Calculator angered. We all dc'd the boss was on 20% so was easy street (stops summoning ads then). And we all dc and die! So...our first boss wipe! Was a dc... I ask...should that count? ;] I think not, but it enraged us and we killed him quicker when we re-grouped.
By the end of Netherstorm:
Boots of Ethereal Manipulation => Soph
Boots of Pious => Dis
Shatar Exalted => Plods

Coilfang
Decided to start on the left and work our way right.
Slave Pens
Simple quick straight forward run, thing to really talk about.
Steamvaults
Here came our first boss wipe, but I take responsibility for that one. :X I forgot to heal plod, by the time I realised, he was splat...wasnt that I forgot to heal really, I was trying to work out why i couldnt cure a magic debuff with a cure disease :x my bad :] we got back up, I started thinking and she went down easy :]
Rest of the instance was pretty simple tbh
Underbog
Yeah, we downed it ;] look by this point I'd had about half a bottle of vodka, tbh Im lucky I remember that we went there ;]
By the end of coilfang:
Midnight Legguards => Plod
Wrathtide Longbow => Emzi
Barkchip Boots => Dis
CE exalted => Aims
http://www.caz-world.com/nf/ironman/1/coilfang.png
Sethekk Halls
Sethekk, well, been there so much nothing to talk about really :] but grats to Emzi surviving last boss for the first time :] and no the mount didnt drop from Anzu :[
By end of Sethekk:
Spaulders of Dementia => Dis
Lower city exalted 400 rep away => Dalf
http://www.caz-world.com/nf/ironman/1/sethekk.png
Black Morass
Black Morass saw our 2nd annoying dc (there have been others but they didnt really cause much problems tbh). Wipe, everyone out, quick soft reset so med dude comes back and we rock and roll.
Nice quick encounter to end with tbh, taking us to our full 12 hours almost to the second :]
By the end of Black Morass:
Girdle of the Deathdealer (really tipsy at this point think it went to plod :/)
http://www.caz-world.com/nf/ironman/1/blackmorass.png
Summary
In 12 hours we completed 7 heroic instances, which is about 1hr 42 mins per heroic :] good going imo.
7 dc's but only 2 resulting in wipes! <3 we were that imba we survived during dc's
We gathered:
25 badges each
6 large prismatic shards each (and one spare for gb)
1 void crystal each (and one for gb)
2 rep dings
2 toons 1 run away from rep dings
7 primal nethers
and more importantly
a bucket load of fun :]
