I Pity the Fool

After Neit managed to melt her modem cable, leaving Arcatraz still unfinished, the Elder tagged in Eternalize and headed off to Magister's Terrace late Thursday night. Mr T is a nice change after the faux sci-fi of Netherstorm, though not quite up to Kara standards.

Due to the Arc warm up earlier, we were a well oiled machine and drove our way to the the first boss with relative ease. Selin is pretty much tank'n'spank, and he went down with barely a gurgle, and gave up a nice cleaver for Fugg.

Next up came Vexallus, an altogether tougher proposition. Guarded by roughly 1000 mana wyrms (pretty much all of which we pulled in one hilarious attempt), he managed to chain lightning us all to death a few times, not helped by the Pure Energy spawns taking down ET. But we eventually calmed down, took it slowly, and made him go away for good. Alas he didn't drop Stroeb's matching sword, but Pax did pick up some, ahem, healing Bracers.

From this point on things got pretty tough. As the clocked ticked past 01:30, we were faced with our first 6 pull mobs. After some botched mind control attempts, we reverted to 'simple' tank pulls, with Blacky desperately trying to hold everything's attention, whilst ET desperately tried to keep him alive. The melee DPS meanwhile pounded everything in sight.

At about 2AM, we were faced with this:

Princess Delrissa & friends

And at about 02:05, we called it a night. Next time!
