Van Cleef

[LavCat]

WANTED: a group to kill that son of a .... Edward Van Cleef.  This jerk has eluded me 5 times and I've had enough of his smirking attitude.  After my last attempt escorting a group comprised of a level 14, 16, 17, and 23 and actually making it all the way down to Van Cleef's First Mate, I am sick and tired of this quest kicking my butt!  (Yes, as a Priest, I kept a level 14 alive down there).

This Friday, 10:30 PM Eastern time.  Be there with bells on.  Here's the info:

Meeting place: Sentinel Hill, Westfall
Character levels: 20-24 preferred.  18-26 acceptable.  If you are younger than 18, you'll be a drain on the party, and if you're above 26, you'll make it too easy (thus ruining the challenge and joy of finally beating this brutally tough quest).
Time required: leave yourself 3 to 3.5 hours, just in case, although with a strong group it will not take this long.
What to bring: if we have no Warlocks in the party, ask any Warlocks you might know to make you a Soulstone before heading down.  It might just save the whole group.
Quests to get: there are 4 quests that can be solved in the Deadmines.  Two you can find from a dwarf in the tavern of the Dwarven District in Stormwind.  1 you get from Shoni the Shilent in the same area.  Finally, you get the quest to kill Van Cleef himself by completing a chain of quests for the Defias Brotherhood in Westfall.  It is recommended that you pick up these quests before you begin, if you haven't already.
What to know: group mechanics, and how your class fits into a group.  Instances require good group players to win - prima donnas will get everyone killed.

Be there!  If we can't get enough people for this time, would Saturday night be preferred?  Please post here if you will participate, along with your character name, class, and level.

Attending: CleoBoltra, currently level 23 Priest, and REALLY mad at Eddie.

Some of us were talking tonight about a confrontation on Stormrage at about 8:00-8:30 pm server time today, 12/1/2004 (I use US date format because Europeans don't get to play)! I may or may not make it myself, but I hope to be there and I thought notice should be given.

I suspect we may be making runs over the next few days, as necessary. Something must be done about Van Cleef.
