The Scythe Falls Silent

Decided to spice things up a bit from some of the standard weeknight farming routines of the past few weeks.  Did a T1 hard mode lich run and it went smoothly.  After a short break to workout, I sat back down and decided, 'might as well run it back'.  On 90f, as I'm nearing HM lich, I walk straight into the regular Lich standing there all by himself on a silver platter, with a side of purple.  After dispatching him back to the underworld, I discovered a 91f charm.  Neat!  

I promptly put this new toy to work exploring.  I've been up to 100f a few times (hi Vael!), but never managed to get eyes on that legendary Grim Reaper!  Well, this time after running past an elemental (or was it more like 4 dozen?) I saw something not like the others!  

After phoning a couple friends, we went back up together and established a tactical plan that was only marginally better than "f*** it".  After some false starts, and needing a minor combat resurrection, we dispatched death himself!  A first for all of us!    

Side notes: We had incorrectly thought "oh he's just a slightly stronger lich".  That would be unfair to Grim Reaper. While he also has a strong magic aoe, the similarities largely end there.  He is considerably stronger than Lich.  Perhaps next time we'll employ some improved strategy.  Opportunities for improvement!
