The Sambrog-type mobs are inside of Barad Guldur, the fortress of the Lieutenant of Dol Guldur, second in power among the nine Ring-wraith only to the Witch-king of Angmar himself. They are nasty suckers... Sambrog is their baby cousin. (Barad Guldur is a level 65 raid in Mirkwood.)

Skirmish raids are the new thing to do on raid night, I guess. My kinship reserves a different campaign to do together each week. This week we had two 12-man groups simultaneously doing Trouble in Tuckborough, Siege of Gondomon, and Stand at Amon Sul.

After all that skirmishing, our two 12-mans combined into a big zerg ball to go Gatecrashing. If you kill the two big trolls guarding Isengard, you get a hidden deed.

Tower of Orthanc! Fun raid, even though some of the trash clears are as difficult as the boss fights themselves, ugh.
This is me. Alone. Running back to rez people. SIGH. Well hey, at least it's a pretty tower to run up and doesn't take quite as long as BG did to get to the top!

Then there is the Saruman fight. This fight, unfortunately, lags out my computer something fierce, so I had to turn my graphics waaaay down. I have a few screenshots from it, but yeah, ugh.
On the other hand, I get to wield the Ring of Frost! Which is cool!
Here is my pretty ring. My precious!
Saruman. Pretty scary dude.
Like I said, I had to turn my graphics WAY down.

(...but shhh, I did turn them back up briefly to take lag-inducing screenies. Don't worry, we were in a stage that totally didn't require a lot of healing, yeah.)
EPIC FLYING MOUNT!

Yup, that is exactly what happened in that pic. We're not sure exactly what circumstances causes the chain lightening to remain after the boss dies, but it has happened when we kill the boss while a light is still up, so that might be it.
Here is another pic of it happening again!

I've never raided, and it still looks far too hectic for me to ever enjoy, but...
I've been bitten by a heraldry bug lately. And I've never recovered from the language thing. And now I'm just drooling at your screencaps and all those locations with the murals and the carvings and the flags and the tengwar and... yeah.
Any raiding group willing to take one way too curious nutjob along?
