 More dead stuff
Tuesday, November 26, 2002 by Yaxa



Day 2 of our Drunder explorations. Tallon Zek missed his brother and asked us to relieve his pain. The Zek trio is down to one and we finally got our first level 65 spell, congrats Arryena. Where do Gods go when they're dead anyway?





 1337 Tactics
Monday, November 25, 2002 by Yaxa

Oh what joy. Prime time is aproaching more or less rapidly and word on the street is: Emp up. What the heck, Emp up?, I say, He isn't even due! Needless to say, 30 minutes later we're sitting in Ssra waiting for our clerics to log on. Some 4 hours later we're still in Ssra.. finally preparing to engage the Blood and Emperor, finalizing buffs and raid invites.

You have been disconnected.


I find myself back at character select hoping that it was just some hiccup like earlier in the night, but the Gods have found us lacking... or something: Zone unavailable. Weee! Ssra crashed.

A little birdie told us that, amazingly, the Manaetic Behemoth in PoI was supposedly still up, so off we go...

He dropped easily enough this time. Result of Globin's proposed guild-wide ban on television during raids? Who knows.





Oh, this time we even let the gnome live to hear what he's got to say!

Giwin Mirakon gives you a look of disbelief and then concern. 'You destroyed the machine?! You should come with me to the Plane of Tactics. Surely the Zeks will want to honor you in your warring spirit. I will go on ahead of you to prepare for your arrival. I believe that you can access the Plane through the portal that the weakli.. Er tranquil have opened in the Plane of Tranquility. I anticipate our next meeting on the Battlefields of Zek!'

Someone say Zeks? Of course we did introduce ourselves to the Zek family...



I have to say this is one of the most fun encounters I've ever seen. Made me completely forget about the Emperor mess earlier. I won't get into details but you have to fight multiple waves of Vallons, 5 Vallons per wave. Split personality anyone? Very, very fun. Yet again, I bow down and lift my pointy hat.



Needless to say, our positioning doth sucketh, so here's to you the patented corpse foot shot:



And for those of you who have been eagerly waiting to see the what Santa Zek brought us this year:





 Death becomes her

It's been a busy night, and most importantly Terris Thule found die again so we could get some more people flagged for Torment. Loot was pretty decent. Denzimir snagged the Mana Preservation IV ring, getting rid of his uber Crystalline Torque!

Earlier tonight... Cursed at room temp and *gasp* he dropped a book! I thought these things didn't even exist. AoW forcedly gave up his Blade of Carnage to birthday-dorf Belgrim. Somewhere in between, Tormax also passed away.

We finished this Night of Own™ by killing Carprin Deatharn in Lxanvom... twice... I think. He dropped this l33t dagger our very own Intimidator Quixen is displaying on the left.

You have entered Torment, the Plane of Pain.




Very fun fight. My pointy hat is off to the people who designed this encounter. Having to deal with adds during the fight isn't exactly new, but wow, these things kick some butt. We almost wiped after Terris was already dead, but with some good fortune we managed to turn this into victory.

Here's the loot:







Off to Torment. I hear Saryrn is begging for some whipping~

 Vex Thal
Monday, November 11, 2002 by Yaxa



Since Lord Inquisitor Seru was running around like a chicken with the head off, successfully trying to avoid being killed by us.. again.. our fearless leader decided to stress our gamma controls some more.



Targets of the night: a_black_goo00 (Kaas Thox Xi Ans Dyek) and a_four_armed_transvestite01 (Diabo Xi Xin). Goo was flawless, the four armed guy (?) gave us an impression of ownage pathing, but was eventually taken down in an astounding fight which ended with almost everyone out of mana. Of course losing a cleric right away didn't make the fight easier.

 Hail, Crypt of Decay
Sunday, November 10, 2002 by Yaxa

Ok, I admit it, we've been slacking a little as far as PoP is concerned, but between shard camping, killing the Emp, and peeking into Vex Thal there weren't many chances of ganking any of the flag mobs. Tonight we finally got lucky and made sure to adjust Grummus' temperature to the appropriate level - that of the floor. Loot was ok, but not stellar. But hey, this is still a first tier plane :)








 Thank you, Sony

The Nameless crashed yesterday during the day, and with the delayed spawn timers this put the Blood of Ssraeshza right into our standard raid time. Needless to say we took our chance and showed Mr. Emperor that we're still in business.







We were also able to rip another copy of Garrison's out of his cold heands.

Next stop: Plane of Innovation. Teamed up with Valorguard took the Manaetic Behemoth apart. He dropped 4 Ethereal Parchments and two of these nice rings:



Our late night crew examined Vex Thal some during the night. Not sure if anything named found die because I passed out around 2am EST...

One question remains: Why doesn't the PoP team know about delayed spawn timers?

 That is not a legal target, master.

Wake the Dead needs nerfed~




We also played around with this elusive spawn, Ithiosar the Fallen. Unfortunately he brought his big brother who proceeded show us who's the boss... repeatedly.
