Colzarak, Zeshac and Grimberg finally managed to get together to attempt some of the Isengard 3 man instances - I did say we were casual!
We chose Fangorn's Edge as the easiest of the three to try and did a bit of reading up. This didn't stop us wiping out on the first crossing, not a good start. But remarkably we went on the defend all the Huorns and only loose 1 of the Ents in the chaos of Ents, Trolls and Orcs that was the final fight.
Now we had time to spare so decided to 'have a look' at the Pits of Isengard with no idea of what to expect. Strange stacking sickness affected our vision and a plague a Limrafns punted us into oblivion. Not sure what caused the Limrafns to appear so we peeled the mobs off the tank one at a time from then on.
The whip wielding Zaberz flung us around for an exciting ride, nobody ended in the sludge.
And so we eventually stumbled across Ironarm the final boss, could we make it 2 out of 2? The punting Limrafns appeared again and with limited ranged attack we just had to suffer the punts and damage and heal through. Grimberg got an on defeat heal from them so that helped a lot. And yes we defeated Ironarm and completed 2 on level instances in one session, unheard of!

I suspect Riders of Rohan will prove a bigger draw for a while but I hope we can complete the third of the 3-man instances sometime soon.
