7.26.2005-Tuesday Sentinels Take Down Onyxia -Kameelyan
It was a great day this past Sunday night after a horrible few hours with lockout issues in Molten Core! We decided rather than call it a night off we'd head over and work on some new ideas we had for Onyxia. This was only our second time in, and killed her on our fifth or sixth attempt total. After reworking our strats for keeping agro on her, she went down first time. Again, we did this encounter shorthanded, with 32 people. Great job everyone! You can find celebration screens Here. Here's the loot:

Aylia, Hebrewhammer, and Thrax were this weeks loot winners! Grats to everyone.
