I was determined to log in early last night so I could do a little farming before any instance runs. I was online and farming gold by 8 pm, which was good - I figured that I'd have an hour before we put together a 5-man group. The heroic daily was Heroic Arcatraz, which boded well - it was an instance we knew how to run effectively.
What I hadn't counted on was that (a) Supsop/Kala was on night shift and thus unable to join us, and (b) Isorla was studying for a certification exam, which meant we would not have a tank. Anyssa found out that Lylanna, a Feral Druid and one of two Druid tanks in the Guild, would be online by 10 pm, so we put together a group and waited.
10 pm arrived and Lylanna logged in. We started our run by 10:30 thanks to a bit of running around; someone needed to kill an elite, then it turns out it wasn't necessary after all. Then bad things started to happen: it turns out Lyl hadn't run Arc in a while and didn't remember the pulls or the strats, and our warlock hadn't run Arc at all! Our mage and warlock kept pulling aggro off the tank, and lots of little things kept the run from proceeding smoothly.
By 11 pm we hadn't even taken down the first boss. We had wiped perhaps three times so far. There wasn't a whole lot of time left, as we had an hour before heroic reset.
So we skipped the first boss and proceeded to the next two. We killed them both with twenty minutes to spare. Then we went back and killed the first boss.
Avierra looted Rubium War-girdle and three badges, bringing her to 82 - but how unsatisfying!
