nEight baboon-like creatures spawned in the middle of the valley. They were as tall as a human and had vicious looking fangs. Their growls sounded like a choking dog, a hoarse cough that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

nRonnie targeted four of them and used her hud to place icons over their heads.

n

/Inferno: Ronnie: CC these four mobs!

nChael targeted the remaining four and used his hud to place bullseyes over their heads.

n

/Inferno: Chael: Attack my targets!

nSila used her assist option to target Ronnie's mobs.

nScorched Dust Bowl

nA viscous Babuka has been blinded.

nRhy raised a slender hand and targeted the other three.

nWhirlwind

nRhylia's Windstorm has trapped three Vicious Babukas.

nMina sent her Vilas after the targets with bullseyes over them. Forty of them tore into the four Babukas while the DPS'ers assisted them.

nJun Li kept an eye on the respawn time. The first four were killed well before the first minute and twenty seconds later the other four joined them.

nNix kept his grip on the flame strands despite being repeatedly slammed into the ground. Tess healed him several times when the damage started to stack up. Once the respawns were killed, the Ape stood up effortlessly sending Nix and the Aquarions flying in all directions.

nSharl managed to roll out of the way and immediately resumed tanking detail. The dark beauty grinned at the misfortune of the 'holding team.'

nBattle Cry

nSharl has taunted Farah the White.

nMin couldn't hide the smile that lit up her face when he returned to the middle of the valley. His hair was sticking straight up and his face was covered in dirt.

"Nice job Nix.

"

nNix frowned at her without answering.

n

/Inferno: Jun Li: Okay, listen close. At 80 percent one of the bosses will rage while the other goes dormant. I want Morti on the raging boss, he's better equipped to handle that sort of pressure.

nThere will be a short warning before they rage, the remaining boss will be dormant so he won't be an issue.

nShae watched the percentages carefully, this time the bosses were relatively even. Nix was using his higher-tiered spells this time around, he had a wild look in his eyes like he was angry.

n

/Inferno: Shae: 84 percent for both North and South.

nThe DPS teams continued to whittle away at the Ape Bosses, when they were at 81 percent the North boss stood up straight and beat his chest with both hands, while the south boss sat docilely on its butt looking confused.

nSharl has been stunned.

nTess has been stunned.

nWylie has been stunned.

nJun Li cursed loudly,

"North now Morti!

"

nThe big bear had made the claim several times that he was faster than a horse. The ground shook as two tons of muscle, fur and teeth barreled toward the Northside.

nSharl has been slain.

nTess has been slain.

nWylie has been slain.

nAn Instant later Morti slammed into the raging Ape pushing it back into the rock wall.

nAbsolute Defense

nHalf of all incoming damage is blocked by Mortimer's thick hide.

nAn out of breath Pinkie appeared a moment later, her casting started while she was still skidding to a halt.

nBlessing of the Goddess

nMortimer has been completely healed.

nFajii had responded quickly also and targeted Sharl.

nScorched Earth Mother

nSharl has been resurrected and returns to the battle fully buffed.

nScorched Earth Mother

nTess has been resurrected and returns to the battle fully buffed.

nScorched Earth Mother

nWylie has been resurrected and returns to the battle fully buffed.

nSharl picked up her shield and prepared to take over.

"Thanks, Fajii. That BR is the **!

"

nBlessing of the Air

nA Priestess of Air has healed Mortimer.

nJun Li kept a close eye on the dormant boss.

"Give it space, the chest pound is an AE stun!

"

nSlowly the beast stood up and glanced around. Jun Li waited patiently. The creature's eyes instantly filled with hate as it beat its chest with both hands. She waited until it stopped then she sprang into action.

nCedric the White has enraged.

nIt leaped at Jun Li, both fists coming down on her. Nearly all of her health disappeared in one hit. A flash of black announced the Titan's arrival, this time he had reacted faster.

nAbsolute Defense

nHalf of all incoming damage is blocked by Mortimer's thick hide.

nJun Li staggered back, waiting on a heal before she moved forward again. Movement in the center of the valley caught her eye.

n

/Inferno: Jun Li: Respawns! No CC required, they'll despawn.

nMina put five Vila on each of the 8 respawns, they were the same baboon creatures from earlier.

nPinkie and Shadai returned to the center, being careful to keep the Vila healed.

nAfter a minute had elapsed, both Ape bosses returned to normal and the tanks resumed their missions. The respawns in the middle of the valley disappeared.

n

/Inferno: Jun Li: We're getting close to the unknown. At 70 percent, they'll start advancing toward each other again. Hold team be ready!

nNix scowled and stopped casting. He trotted toward the North boss, his face showing extreme reluctance.

nShae and Rhy were forced to step in and even the percentages as both teams seemed to surge at different times.

n

/Inferno: Shae: 72 percent.

n

/Inferno: Jun Li: Prepare to disengage and handle the respawns.

nMorti didn't bother to wait, he slammed both paws into the ape's chest and then muscled him back to the wall.

nOn the Northside, Nix moved closer and waited, unlike Morti he wasn't equipped to take a full-strength hit from the Ape boss. Sharl slammed her shield into the Ape and then stepped nimbly to one side.

nNix raised a hand, the flame strands already on their way when the White Ape glanced at him and then dived forward, the ground shook as the ape tucked its head and rolled to his feet. One foot swinging hard at Nix, blasting him toward the middle of the valley.

nNix has been slain.

nSharl froze for a second, shock on her face. She recovered and dived at the legs of the Ape. The Aquarion team followed suit as they all piled on. Slowly the Ape started walking toward the center.

n

/Inferno: Jun Li: Send your Rock Golems to the Northside now! They are going to lose this boss! Respawns in the middle, take them down!

nRonnie targeted the North boss and sent her golem. Without missing a beat, she changed to four of the respawns and placed markers on them.

"

n

/Inferno: Ronnie: CC my target now!

nChael sent his golem north and put bullseyes on the remaining four targets.

n

/Inferno: Chael: Attack my targets!

nThe Respawns this time were four-armed Apes nearly twice the size of an average man, when the stood upright, their lower set of arms dragged the ground.

nSila used her assist option to target Ronnie's mobs.

nScorched Dust Bowl

nA four-armed Primate has been blinded.

nRhylia stepped to one side as Shae began spamming Balefire in an attempt to reduce the climbing health of the Northside boss.

n

/Inferno: Jun Li: Bring it down! Two percent difference!

nRhy quickly targeted the remaining CC targets

nWhirlwind

nRhylia's Windstorm has trapped three four-armed Primates.

nThe two Stone Golems slammed into the Ape, with their help the hold team finally managed to push it back. Fajii quickly rezzed Nix and this time he moved behind the Ape before he put the strands on his legs. By the time the group dragged the boss back to the wall, the spawns had been dealt with.

n

/Inferno: Jun Li: Okay, tanks on boss only. Slow things down for a moment, let everyone reset. This is one step further than Resolute has made it.

nA disgruntled Nix walked back toward the middle of the valley.

n

/Inferno: Pon: Best imitation of a soccer ball I've ever seen Nix.

n

/Inferno: Jun Li: Cut the chatter and get ready.

nNo one else spoke, but they could all hear the laughter in Jun Li's voice.

nNix scowled at the chuckles around him.

nMin placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You did go pretty far.

"

n
