With all the times we've killed the poison beast of Old Sebilis, he can still manage to whipe out even the seemingly most coordinated effort.  Translation: we got owned when the fugger gated. 

Never ones to give up, we quickly recovered and set about blasting Trakanon with as much whoopass as we could muster, which I must say, was quite a bit.  A hardy thanks goes out to Ronald Johnson, who was responsible for getting the raid back on its feet in record time.  Take it from me, corpse recovery and ressurection of 30-some people in the dragon's lair is not an easy task.
