Uber Hunt #3

On Friday, January 17th Clann Marrach Faol hosted their 3rd shard-wide Ilshenar Champ Hunt. This is a great chance for those that haven’t had an opportunity to participate in one of the Ilshenar champ spawns to see one first hand, and to defeat it as part of a larger group, or to rack up those Valor points. This week’s spawn: Cold Blood

We arrived during the first stage, three candles were in place and M^F and friends quickly vanquished the hordes of Lizardmen and Snakes without any incidents…because come on, how embarassing would it have been to die to a Lizardmen and a few snakes? I’d never let someone live that down if they couldn’t beat up a widdle bitty snake. But then again, I’m mean. Anyway…we quickly proceeded to the second stage where we laid waste to Lava Lizards, Ophidian Enforcers and Ophidian Warriors. Again, were all able to survive this stage…at least, I think we all did. I could be mistaken. If anyone died though, they kept quiet about it. They probably heard about how mean and unrelentless I am. We soon moved on to Drakes, Ophidian Justicars and Ophidian Zealots. This was becoming most fun.

We slaughtered Justicars. We annihilated Zealots. We sent drakes home crying to their mommies. Actually, we just killed them and took their loot. But you get the point. M^F lances, solo hunters, groups of our Napa Valley friends smashed, chopped, sliced and ebolted their ways through droves of foul little creatures. We left nothing standing. Soon spawned the Dragons, Ophidian Avengers and Ophidian Knight-Errants and they fell as quickly as those that spawned earlier. It’s like they didn’t even get the memo that we were all here waiting to strike them down. “Come on guys…party in Ilshenar! Whoohoo! Oh stop your worrying, won’t be anyone there to bother us…” *spawn* “EEEEK! Heh…my bad.” *EBOLT.EXPLOSION.FIREBALL*

With each Dragon, Avenger and Knight-Errant that fell, people began to get giddy. They knew that soon they would be facing the Cold Blood Champion, Mr. Rikktor himself. Last time it was the Arachnid Spawn and Mrs. Mephitis. The time before that it was the Abyss Spawn and that crazy little vixen, Semidar. But this week…we were going to get our grubby little hands on Rikktor. And finally the moment came…Rikktor spawned and…is it just me or did Rikktor seem like the biggest pansy ass? I mean, we killed him in like no time. Are we just that good or did he come out fighting like an old lady? I don’t mean one of those old ladies who smacks you around with her cane or whacks you upside the head with her brick-filled purse. I’m talking “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”, broken hip and cataracts old lady. I dunno. He just seemed a tad bit on the wimpy side. But needless to say, we whooped his ass.

Thanks to all the people of Napa Valley who came out to fight! Couldn’t have done it without ya! Actually, we probably could have…would have taken longer, would have had more deaths (Yay!), and wouldn’t have been as much fun…but we were happy to have you with us and were honored to fight alongside you all. See ya at the next one!
