So, one night in Naxxramas, we decided to check out the Abomination wing. The one with the Bile Retchers, Slimes with massive AOE damage, and the like.

The night's off to a good start. Our tanks can't keep aggro on the Retchers, they're cleaving our raid like nobody's business, and a few wipes later, we're actually IN the wing.

Now it's slime pullin' time.

We run around in the circle, kiting slimes along the way, and in the midst of everything, a Pally went offline. Oh well, he's toast, everyone keep moving.

We finally get into the room with the slime sewer and pack into a tight corner to avoid aggroing slime respawns and other monsters. We're so happy we just made it, after such a bad experience at the entrance. Our main tank starts going over strats, and right before we start buffing...

Disconnected Pally comes back online, bubbles, and runs to meet the raid. With 30 slimes in tow.

"WHY AM I IN COMBAT?!" screams the raid leader.

"...OH MY GOD, THEY'RE COMING!" screams a Druid, who sees a Pally being chased down by 30 slimes with 4000dmg/sec AOE attacks.

So our main tank says "Screw this, I'm going to try Patchwerk", and runs off from the group, and pulls the entire wing on us.

Then a Mage zoned in, having just arrived to the instance. Our corpses, still piled up in the tight corner, see a parade of monsters B-line straight through walls to the entrance. Our Mage panics and tries to hearth, but alas, it was too late.

We called it a night after that.
