My Short Night
by Drake Draco (7/25/00)
I logged in last night with one purpose. I needed 120K to level and I was
going to get it. I don't have a lot of time to play on Monday so, I buff and
head into the lugian citadel.

I get to the long hallway before the ramp where the Gigas charge and meet
this unarmed warrior named Great Scott. He and I took out all of the lugians
in the hallway in quick order and set down to rest and buff.

A bunch of other guys come up then. There must have been about 8 or 9 of
them. They head straight for the ramp and the gigas and soon the sounds of
battle could be heard.

Just as Great Scott and I are ready, the hallway explodes with spawn. We
were resting in one of the little alcoves in the hallway and were soon
trapped in there. Not a big deal really, I can take that hall alone now but,
the guys on the ramp were hard pressed and hurting. I could tell by the
"Lugian crushes so & so" messages. Then they break and run.

We had worked our way out of the alcove and were moving to help the others
that were trying to heal. They must have ran down to the big giga room or
something because there were tons of lugians streaming down the ramp and
toward us.

I instinctively put my back to the closest wall and brace myself. I am soon
surrounded by about 8 or 9 lugians. The battle is on in full now. There are
about 6 of us left at this time, the rest are at our feet covered in dead
lugians.

I see a couple more of the death messages and know that I am in trouble
without some good crits. The cry "BRING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" could be heard
throughout the hallway as I push Drake into beserker mode and the crits
came. Soon, there was only about 2 or 3 on me and I hear a desperate cry
from Great Scott. "DRAKE!! HELP ME!! PLEASE!!!!!!". We had gotten separated
in the confusion.

I turn from the lugs I am fighting and run toward the red dot surrouned by
orange dots. He was backed into another alcove with about 5 lugs on him and
was just standing there healing. I rip into the backsides of them and get
most of them to target me. I eventually cut a hole in them enough to get at
his side.

My axe is getting very heavy in my hands at this time. Can anyone say 20
stam with 5 lugs to go? Well, it turns out that Great Scott is tiring too.
We manage to take 2 more out before we are slumping against the wall, still
boxed into the alcove.

We tell each other that we are out of stam. Great Scott says "screw it!!
COME ON LUGIANS ASSES!!!! YOU WANT A PIECE!!!!". I scream out "BRING
IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" and we both jump at the 3 remaining lugians, fully expecting
to go down here. Can't heal, can barely swing, buffs gone and boxed in,
oh my.

One falls, then another then it is all over. Great Scott is still standing,
or should I say leaning on a wall as was I. It was such a rush! I still
can't believe that we took them all down. When I looked around I counted 9
bodies of fallen fighters and mor lugs than I could count.

I buff up and rest. I only got about 50 stam before the hallway erupted
again. Great Scott and I were soon surrouned again. We put up a good fight
but when I got the message that he had fallen, I made a break for the corner
to keep some of them off me and to prevent them from ringing me. I held that
line of lugians until the next wave of warriors arrived (including Great
Scott). As I take down the last lugian on me I see this rainbow of colors
surround me. You know what that means :)

I went outside rested up and called it a night. That was the fastest 120K I
have gotten on DT.
