Blood Dungeon

In this week’s edition of Deathrobes and Vet Hunts the heroes of Clann Marrach Faol ventured deep into the Blood Dungeon in Ilshenar. This dungeon, east of the Shrine of Spirituality, is home to such cute little critters as imps and hellcats. You’ll also find that sexy little vixen…the succubus, who can hit you for as much as 30-40 points of damage. But wait…there’s more! What kind of blood dungeon would it be without blood elementals? And every good dungeon needs daemons. Last, but certainly not least…one of the balron tripletts…The Lord of the Abyss, The Collector of Souls, and The Slayer.

Shortly after arriving we heard a cry for help…

Shadow Wisper: help

It was Shadow Wisper, lance leader for the Llama Lance!

So off we ran to help our guildmates…but what Shadow Wisper failed to inform us was that her lance was under attack from….Mr. Lord of the Abyss!!! Thanks alot Shadow. A little more warning next time, huh? Oh I dunno…something like, “help, there’s a balron” would have be nice so we don’t all run to our deaths. Anyway….

Some members found humor in it…

Gwynblaidd: sychronized death

(*makes mental note…take Gwynblaidd off of the Christmas card list*)

The balron was quickly lured away and the rest of the hunt went without incident…which really stinks because it got rather tedious. Yeah, sometimes death bites…but it makes things more fun! As boredom set in we decided to take on the balron, only this time with some organization…

Our game plan was simple…

Spartica: I’ll be happy to lure it to a well formed wall of meat sheilds…
Kale: Could you say that again, this time without the “meat shields” part?
Gwynblaidd: ok….warriors line up!
Raphtontis: women and cowards back here
blaze ironhawk: hey kale here comes the death robes
Spartica: I lure!
Spartica: I’m crazy anyways

And as Spartica raced off to invite the balron to the party…

Jethroe: thats a dead man walkin

A few quick reminders before the battle commenced…

Kale: Warriors, do NOT break the wall
Shadow Wisper: heal heal heal heal
Raphtontis: aye…and dying breaks the wall

But in a matter of seconds…the balron fell.

Taurus: Welcome to M^F Lord of the Abyss

They now had a thirst for blood…

blaze ironhawk: get another
blaze ironhawk: get another
blaze ironhawk: get another
blaze ironhawk: get another
Pla’s Princess: another another
beammer McBonzo: more
DR Squash: ANOTHER
DR Squash: ANOTHER
DR Squash: ANOTHER
Noxuna-moon: more more!!

So we sent Spartica to invite another one. Only this time the Slayer was able to find a weakness in our wall and punch a hole through.

Kale: Doh, that’s not good.
Spartica: MAGES DON’T MOVE
Gwynblaidd: alright…who opened the door?

But the Slayer was vanquished as quickly as the Lord of the Abyss.

Alexis Merrick: ummm what happened there
VAL: the fighters fault
Old McDinald: warriors…*shakes head in shame*
Gwynblaidd: must have been a dex monkey

But there was one thing the mages forgot…

Taurus: I think we just saved some mage butt

Ren: lol, I think we’re gonna do this till Kale gets some death robes 😛

It was true…we hadn’t had a death since the very beginning of the hunt and I had 23 guildmembers who were willing to die…okay, maybe not willing…

This was too easy, the balrons barely lasted a minute. Where’s the fun in that? I mean…sure…if some of the warriors fell the wall would break and the balron would get through (again) and this time maybe kill some mages and people would have been kicking the bucket left and right and the hunt would have turned into a massacre and we all may have gone home in deathrobes. But…is that really too much to ask?

The next pull included a blood elemental, but alas…the balron fell in a matter of seconds and the blood soon followed. It looks like M^F got the hang of this and no matter what, they were going to prevail. (Perhaps next time we invite the succubus to come out and play?)

It looked as if it was time to call it a night. Mages were running low on regs but a few begged for one more balron.

Taurus: Aww just one more lil bally?

And others offered the mages all the regs they had on them.

Alexis Merrick: Look At The Teamwork
Alexis Merrick: So proud to be M^F hehe
Kale: So touching *sniffle*

I relunctantly (yeah right…one more chance to get deathrobes) agreed to do one more. But it too fell as quickly as the others.

And as we left, the maturity level of the group dropped to that of a 5 year old.

Ren: *sticks out tongue at collector*
beammer McBonzo: nananana
Kale: Don’t tease the balron
VAL: because he has that nice axe
blaze ironhawk: *sticks out tongue*
Raphtontis: Mrs Balron, can Collector come out to play?
Nynaeve al’Meara: *moons*
beammer McBonzo: *gives elephant ears*
