The Team salutes you

[Artie]

Hello guys!

Some of you may know who I am, some of you may not. Until I signed up, I had actually forgotten that Resomer was part of this kinship =]

I owe Resomer for organizing our first trip into Helegrod...I'm proud to say that since then The Team has hosted several cross-kinship runs into that place and can destroy it now ;D

My name is Artie, my character's name is Stanford (Hobbit Burglar), and I'm the leader of a small kinship called The Team. We're mostly casual, a lot of us are RL friends, and we love to wreak havoc across all of Middle Earth from the gates of Helegrod to the Freeze-Tag fields in Bree-land =]

It was your buddy Gildadan in DotL (ex-Love's Iron Fist) who suggested I drop you guys a line. I poked through your forums a bit (I hope you don't mind and it sounds like you guys are a lot like us, in your playstyle and your approach to the game.

That said, it also sounds like you guys really want to take a crack at some of that endgame content, but oftentimes find you either don't have the manpower or the time to tackle any of LotRO's lovely (two) raids. If this is the case, I'd like to hear from you guys, I might just have a solution for you =]

Howdy Stanford. A lot of us have been hitting the Rift lately with some other kins in our little "kinship alliance", but more opportunities are always welcome. If you guys are still doing Helegrod runs, let me know ahead of time and I will see if I can scare up a few more for you. We have a couple of members who are just getting to the end-game content and I am sure they wouldn't mind a taste of ol' Zaudru's poison.

Do you guys use a custom chat channel?

Hail!

I will look for Stanford online. My toon's name is Morlyx. Minstrel currently at level 47. I would be one of the members "just getting to the end game content" and would be interested in running Helegrod.

Mmm Helegrod...our specialty =] I'll be sure to let you guys know when our next one is set up!

Caveat: Thorog destroys us. We have taken a solemn vow to figure out how this fight is done!

Welcome Artie.

I am a good friend of Gildadan's, stretching back to closed beta days.

I have seen you on the DotL forums from time to time. I would very much like to get more into the Rift (only been there once).

Helegrod is a lot of fun as well. Although from what I understand Thorog pretty much destroys everyone. Has anybody beaten him since the buff?

Look forward to doing more with The Team.

I know Preying Mantis has taken down the newest version of him. But they pretty much had hele on farm mode and knew how to defeat the old thorog with less than 24 and no one dieing.

What a coincidence...I just happen to have excellent ties with their leader, who's been giving me some great information as of late! Not to mention we will probably have a "Training Day" with Misadventures sometime in early January.

That sucker is going down =]

[gildadan]

Nice!! I used to before Blaeloch and Sylexis left. Not sure agrivere remembers who I am anymore lol.

[Ryoken]

Greetings, just letting ya'll know that I will be helping Artie out as much as I can with the Kinship relations department. My name is Nate (characters: Ryoken, Dordon, Ryothir), I'm currently going to grad school, which limits my schedule a bit, but if there is anything that I can help with please feel free to drop me a line.

[Resonance]

Hello there!

[jimli]

Hail Ryoken! I believe I had fellowed with you on occasion. Good to hear from you.

[Ryoken]

I'm fairly positive we have delved into Helegrod on some of Artie's runs before.
