I'd like to thank all the toons who stuck with the Shroud pug after the bard, ranger and cleric dropped. We got that bad boy down to about 2% health before he finally got us.
As for those that dropped... You had 11 people counting on you to help out. When you drop group because you're mad without giving the group a chance to talk about it, you are making 11 other people use extra resources.
Then, later when the group makes it past part 4 and is ready to go into part 5 and you silently drop, leaving only 9 people left... that's just not cool. Shame on you. Be a grown-up and tough it out, or at the very least have the common courtesy to talk about it with the group before you drop.
Finally, to the GMs who were not around to answer a ticket for 30 minutes in the middle of the day... where are you guys?
Anyway, mad props to those who spent the time and effort to very nearly kill that fiend. ya'll rock.
