		<title>Veil of Alaris -  The Finale</title>

		<description><![CDATA[<p class='bbc_center'>Well folks here is one of the biggest updates we have had, the final zone of the Veils of Alaris expansion. <em class='bbc'><span class='bbc_underline'>The Sepulcher of Order</span></em><br />
<br />
The first event we have here is <strong class='bbc'>&#8220;Two Faces, One Vision&#8221;</strong><br />
<span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/03/event1.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />
<br />
Overall this event is pretty short and did not offer us much of a challenge. The hardest part of it is probably walking left to right...<br />
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side of the portal...<br />
<br />
Next up we have <strong class='bbc'>&#8220;Raising the Dead&#8221;</strong><br />
<span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/03/Event2.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />
Once again this was not a very difficult raid, hardest part of the raid is hoping the server doesn't crash or lag.<br />
<br />
On to event three we go! This event is called <strong class='bbc'>&#8220;Fumerak the Quintessence&#8221;</strong><br />
<span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/03/event3.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />
<br />
To say we were a bit over confident going into one was an understatement. I believe this is by far the most complicated, taxing and brutal event we have ever tackled. It has adds that hit you for 75k and curb stomp you to the ground , or blind you for 30 seconds at a time while you furiously try to figure out where the F&@K you are. A boss that powers up and hits for truck load of damage, did we get that license plate number?. Oh did I mention the crystals in this meth lab? Yea those are awesome. Just wait until you get to them, they will make you high like a kite and color blind.<br />
<br />
<br />
On to Event 4 we go! This one is called<strong class='bbc'> &#8220;Cacophony of Oratory&#8221;</strong>. (Ok when it came time for me to do this update I realized I didn&#8217;t have a screenshot for this event, so I made my own with my awesome &#8220;Draw Something&#8221; skills.) Simon Says...<br />
<span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/03/event4y.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />
This event overall isn&#8217;t too difficult. It can be either really easy or really hard. Sony of course when in doubt for creativity they add floating bats and lutes. The big issue here is the <strong class='bbc'>EMOTES,&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>good lord is there sooooooo many emotes. Not only do you get hugely damaged with every missed emote. You damage everyone around you too! What a great way to make friends! Even our own inability to follow simple directions didn&#8217;t keep us from completing this event for loot!.<br />
<br />
And now for the Finale! <strong class='bbc'>&#8220;The Triune God&#8221;</strong><br />
This events comes down to these guys<br />
<span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/03/Gods.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />

<span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/03/tri.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />
<br />
This has got to be the longest Wrestlemania event in Everquest history. With three phases spanning 1.5 hours with little to no breaks to regain mana or endurance, this event was a real challenge. This event also contained every annoying raid mechanic ever created. It had random deathtouches, pushes and pulls, emotes to be followed, viral dots, blinding, yucky dots, even super buffed up players getting charmed etc etc.<br />
<br />
Other symptoms from this event:<br />
<br />
sleep apnea<br />
arthritis<br />
chronic daily headaches<br />
deja vu<br />
nervous breakdowns<br />
sleep deprivation<br />
stress<br />
brain loss<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>Everyone worked hard to overcome this difficult event before Sony does drastic changes to reduce the length and difficulty of the event.</strong><br />

We got achievements!!<br />

Our adventures in The Sepulcher of Order did of course provide us with some loot. And it will continue to do so for the upcoming months.<br />

<span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/03/loot2.gif' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />
<br />
We also got some awesome looking trophys, with graphics from the pac-man era for our retro-fantasy guild hall. Only If they had a guildhall contest....... Special thanks to our guildhall designers: Phancy and family for creating such an exquisite place. Think of the Taj Mahal in lego blocks with african boa constrictors, and you got yourself a mansion.<br />
<br />
There is a level 90 skill in Alaran recommended for these raids. Here is a good example of why<br />

<br />
<span style='font-size: 18px;'>Here is a picture of our gigantic <em class='bbc'>&lt;fill in the blank&gt;</em> , displaying our wet, new titles and erect suffixs in the guild lobby. As we pull our </span><span style='font-size: 18px;'><em class='bbc'>&lt;fill in the blank&gt;, we celebrate and stroke our orgasmic egos for a **** job well done!</em></span><br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>As always we are still recruiting shining, shooting, superstars. Those of the Sexy Clerics, Beautiful Bards, and those undead necrophilia guys, called Necromancers</strong><strong class='bbc'>. </strong><br />
<strong class='bbc'>Feel free to send any member a tell.</strong><br />
<br />
<em class='bbc'>~Until next time! </em><br />
<br />
<em class='bbc'>Brought to you from: Headboss, Subucnimorning, Slafani, Breaknek, Joraca, Deadbroke and the Crimson Tempest Crew. </em><br />
<em class='bbc'>Special thanks to Teannin for the update.</em></p>]]></description>

		<title>Tier 4, Part 1</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello again folks, we are back we another update!<br />
<br />
The first event we have for you guys this time is "Unearthing Alra" In the <em class='bbc'>Pillars of Alra</em>.<br />
<br />
This was probably one of the most COMPLEX raids we have ever had to complete.&nbsp;&nbsp;Four towers meant we had to split our raid force four ways.&nbsp;&nbsp;Each tower had its own challenges to overcome and required some very creative strategies to win within the ten minute time frame.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the end however we managed to complete the towers and won the right to face <strong class='bbc'>Vsariard, the Revelation</strong>.<br />
 <br />
<p class='bbc_center'><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/01/pillarsboss.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span></p>
<br />
The boss however, was a pushover compared to the challenge of the towers. And with that let there be loot<br />
 <br />
<p class='bbc_center'><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/01/parm1.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/01/parm2.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span></p>
<br />
<p class='bbc_center'><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/01/loot1.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/01/loot2.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/01/loot3.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span></p>
<br />
<br />
The next event we completed was "The Cacophony of Power" in <em class='bbc'>Windsong Sanctuary</em>.<br />
<br />
This event wasn&rsquo;t nearly as bad as the Pillars one.&nbsp;&nbsp;After a couple of times getting completely beat down by musical instruments we figured out what had to be done to win.&nbsp;&nbsp; Note a sound was heard from the <strong class='bbc'>Echo of Ryken</strong> as we looted his chest.<br />
 <br />
<p class='bbc_center'><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/01/windsongboss.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />

<br />
We also add a couple of Trophies&nbsp;&nbsp;to our collection.<br />
<br />
And of course the proof if anyone requires it.<br />
 <br />
<p class='bbc_center'><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://images.crimsontempest.net/2012/01/ach.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span></p>
<br />
We are currently working on the City of Bronze&nbsp;&nbsp;and then we will be on our way to the Sepulcher of Order.&nbsp;&nbsp;We take out time and enjoy ourselves.As always we are looking for some specific classes to fill out ranks.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are a Necro, Bard, Paladin, Beastlord, or Bard and are interested in joining us please contact an officer about recruitment.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are not one of those classes and think you are awesome enough to fit in,&nbsp;&nbsp;contact an officer as well and you may get a shot.<br />
<br />
Until next time!<br />
