Corporal Assaults, Completed!

Assault Wednesday! woo!

First up was Lebros Supplies. This one is notorious for its difficulty and rightfully so. You basically need 6 party members to complete. Thankfully Reinika offered to help us out (thanks Reini!). Shinku took the task of keeping track of food and fed soldiers (poor guy) and did a hell of a job keeping everything straight. I write stuff up before hand in the hopes of keeping everything straight but I freeze up at the time of the assault. Krysten was kind of... new to the experience and I was worried that some miscommunication between her and the rest of the group would've cost us the run. He figured stuff up soon enough though. We completed it in 21 minutes which is some sort of record. All party members have it done now, so never again! ( no Storm Cape for our group, I guess)

Second was Building Bridges. This was quite similar to Evade and Escape but instead of being horribly raped by a Dahak when you are spotted, you are just sent to the start. This is counterbalanced by having many more Lamia patrolling the hallways. Luckily there are pillars in many of the rooms so that you can avoid being sighted or pull the old end-around when you're being chased. I got caught once but managed to hit the South switch so I feel I pulled my weight in that one.

Lastly was lol-Counting Sheep. I was surprised it made the list but it was incomplete by the most party members, so whatever. The ore-food-gambling system is something that couldn't be explained in LS chat without confusing the hell out of people. So the Corporals in our group went in blind (much like I did a while ago) and stumbled their way through. We managed to get 3 of the 5 sheep which isn't bad considering the amount of new members. I went 0/3 on that stupid gambling game, cause the Qiqirn cheats. I still managed to rescue 1 sheep though.

So yeah, we did quite well this week. I'm glad Reinika joined us; she's a Captain so she's done it all. Next week: Sargeant assaults!

Nyzul Isle; Then and Now

Wow, I haven't updated this forever. Well, from now on I'll make one of these after every endgame session.

In trying to avoid the HNMLS scene like the plague I've managed to find my own personal "endgame". Basically it's the two events I run every week; Nyzul Isle and regular Assaults. I wanna talk about Nyzul Isle.

Nyzul Isle has been going on forever. I'm eternally grateful that Zaanea, Evele, Terre and Valenia have stuck with it for so long. At the beginning there were many failures and disappointments. During that whole time I was dreading any of these members saying "I've had enough of this." I must admit that there were times where we would get kicked out of the zone after a truly desasterous run and I'd be thinking similar things. There's was always that silence right after the event ends that would last way too long. Penny for their thoughts? I'd rather not know...

Yet they stuck with it and know everyone is reaping the benefits. Personally I'm 4/5 on the Goliard set. Some of the pieces are statistically not very good but I find an excuse to wear them whenever possible (mainly because of what they represent). Many other pieces have been gotten by the rest of the group as well.

While the focus recently has been hammering Floors 20, 40, 60 and 80 in the hopes of getting a Nyzul Isle armor, I hope to someday switch the focus to getting the party the runic key item. 3 of our members have reached the Captain rank somehow so with a runic key and a Nyzul Isle weapon they can in theory start the long road to a Mythic weapon. Helping someone on the way to a Mythic weapon would make me smile inside.

Good luck tonight, guys.
