| Joan of Arc was camping the LOD this morning. In her usual fashion
she would log in right as the noble spawned, wait to see who killed
it, then log out. |
| I beat her to loot rights both times this morning. She is level
58. Much like everyone I meet, she wanted to trade for my sleeves.
Um, no. |
| The only good thing I got off the noble in the past 24 hours is
some Coordination 6 gloves. Arcane lore of 255. Pretty high. Anyone
want these? |
| I have a TON of chores to do. |
| Asheron's crack anyone? |
| Holy cow is this game insane. |
| Play 15 hours saturday, 15 hours sunday, you would think that would
be enough right? |
| Nope. Come home from work. Can'tr mow my lawn because the grass
is soaked even if its not raining. Well, I still have last nights
dishes to do, and dogs to walk and I try to sit on thwe couch and
watch simpsons with my dogs and pay attention to them. |
| Hmm, they seem more interested in playing in the yard today. Well,
they'll want attention later, so I'll just PLAY ASHERON'S CALL for
a little while. |
| Just take me a minute right? |
| Well, I need to get these olthoi heads made into Helmets, and I
need to get some more high mana charges, and I need to make some money
in the Lair of Death because I am almost broke. I have 22k on me,
and thats broke in this game at this level. |
| 'Come to the Serac Vault with us!' |
| (us = Deao, Rhodry, Sac, and eventually me.) |
| I played 30 hours in the past two days. I have a lot of stuff to
do. I have a lot of stuff to do in AC too. Chores in AC. |
| 'I need to make some money today, sorry. I'm going to LOD.' |
| 'Come to the Serac Vault with us!' |
| 'o.k!' |
| <sigh> |
| I am not lying. Marilyn and I will sacrifice food, sleep and duties
to the real world to play this addictive crack laced game. |
| But you don't want to hear that, you want to hear about Serac, right?
|
| Imagine the Tusker Dungeon, but with level 5 and 6 spells blasting
you in the face. |
| The entree room is the same. Pretty empty, but every now and then,
a lich lord runs up and takes a swing at you. Or maybe three do every
now and then. |
| Good place to buff and get ready. |
| Mages and Item guys buff themselves and fifteen minutes later they
are done lying down and being healing and buffed. |
| Deao 'J, why are you picking up that al50 Hauberk and those crappy
leather leggings off the floor?' |
| Druss 'Because I know that soon I will be naked, and I want something
to put on after I die.' |
| Deao - 'ha ha' |
| Mages finally stop buffing. |
I say 'we ready?'
Deao 'yes'
Me 'Let me buff' press 1,2,3,4,5 on my keyboard. 'ready' |
| Me - Item Sucks. :-) |
| We advance to the second room. No big deal, just 6 Lich lords and
2 revenants at once. We kill them all without much hassle. Oh look,
three more have respawned, kill them. Ok, no big deal. |
| 'Which way?' |
| Six more Liches and 2 more revenants respawn. |
| Take a 90 point blast in the face and then a 70 point blast in the
face. Almost die, drink a bunch of healing potions, shout desperatly
'HEAL!!' and Rhodry goes 'Heal other one for ten.' |
| Hmm, I just took 160 points, waiting for another 90 point blast
to hit me in the face, I just gained 10 health, hmm, I'm not going
to make it.... |
| We kill the ones remaining and I don't die. |
| Is it just me, or are they all focusing on me again? Must be my
imagination. |
| Which way? |
| No one knows, and there are, oh, six possible passageways to choose
from. |
| 'We're standing on a spawn site, pick one and lets go.' |
| Take another 90 point blast in the face. Drink three healing potions,
fail twice in a row with a peerless healing kit and a healing skill
of 200. Swear like a drunken Irishman. Heal other for 10 3 times in
a row, get a heal of my peerless, good to go, join the battle again
and start to kill things. We clear the room again, and run down a
little ramp. |
| <whew> |
| 'This place looks safe, I need to buff' say all the mages |
| 'really?' I won't need to buff for two hours. :-)' says I. |
| Item sucks, says me. |
| Oh wait, forgot to mention one important fact. |
| There is no exit portal except the one at the end. |
| read that line again. |
| Wow is item good. |
| Hey look, Three corpses of 'Ajax the Great' All in the same spot.
Each more naked than the last. How odd. |
| We sit in this little corridor and the mages buff. Ahead of us is
a pit. IN the pit is six revenants and six lich lords. The mages start
blasting and draining the ones in the pit. Sac and I are waiting to
jump in when the numbers get lower in there. |
| RESPAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 20 various lich lords and revenants come out of the walls. Blast
for 40, kill one or two. |
| 'Your Fellow Rhodry has died!' 'You can't drink a Healing Potion!
You're dead!' 'Your fellow Sac has died!' 'Your fellow Deao has portaled
his 90% dead ass out of there!' |
| Revanant leader says to you 'Owned :-)' |
| WTF? |
| Coming to beat your ass, boy. |
| Go to town to buy 36 healing potions. |
| Give 12 to Sac |
| Make our way back to Serac. |
| Rhodry learns Heal Other 5 |
| Go in. |
| Kill some stuff in the first room. |
| In the second room where there was like 12 liches and lords before,
there are now 24-30. |
| Easy. |
| There are easily this many. If not more. |
| BRING IT!!!! |
| And the Revenants do. |
| A lot of things target me right off. I almost die numorous times,
but Heal other five, drinking 10 healing potions and then killing
more stuff seems to help. |
| Now it seems like nothing is targeting me for some reason. I am
running around smashing things left and right, and never dipping below
75% health. Run over to Sac, smash the revenant on him while he tries
to heal. Run over to rhodry who is trying to heal and kill the two
on him. Run over to deao who has three on them. |
| 'Your fellow Sac has died!' |
| Look at my radar, I must have killed close to 10 myself, and I know
that the others have kliled 20. So how come there are still 20 undead
spell casters on my radar? And where did that glowing portal come
from. |
| Deao says to your fellowship 'Druss, IN!!' |
| Well, o.k. |
| I step into the portal and am teleported to the first room of the
tusker dungeon. |
| Kill a tusker and go outside. |
| Run back to Serac. |
| Call in some other people to help. |
| Pain Corp and Rach' Mann have shown up to help with recovery. |
| This time is much the same as the first time. There are only 20
various undead spellcasters in the second room. |
| Pain Corp rains down some steel hard fist beatings. Deao and Rhodry
Heal and imperil and blast. Rach' Mann strikes unerringly with his
bow of godly might, and I smite as well as a non item level fifty
axe weilder is capable of. The Lords and Revenants fall like wheat
before our mighty Scythe. We are never in any danger and get back
down to the room above the pit. |
| I snag my good armor, we collect all our stuff and I flip off a
revenant. |
| Rhodry opens a portal and we are home. |
| /tell Revenant Leader 'Owned :-)' |
| Revenant Leader tells you 'You didn't get the stone. You didn't
get a hard thigh bone, you portaled out like bitches. Who owned who?'
|
| Fume |
| We'll be back |
|
later
