Last Night in the Lone Lands

[Elindar of Rivendell]

This story is one of real fun,
We called to our kin and them they did come,
For a Goblin Leader, we were asked to beat her,
And then we all went on the run,

It began with Narika and Elindar,
But Gaeien, Yunkor, and Mel came from afar,
For we needed a tank, to lay down a good spank,
And leave Nishruk all covered in tar.

Then we went on to get a statue,
Delaney’s decision to join us she did rue,
For Pod grabbed every Gob, and we all got a real mob,
But returned the doll, before defeat we did do.

*clap* That was fun to see first thing in the morning.

I don't think I've ever come so close to dying without actually having it happen. Now I'll always be able to remember it through verse!

Delaney's famous last words: "This is an easy way, trust me."

[Narika Azrubel]

That was definitely a GOOD lesson for me on pet pathing. ((blushes)) It would have been the easy way, Delaney, were it not for myself and the creepy herald. As horrifying as it was to turn around and see them all, it was quite a sight too -- I did not realize just how many goblins were in that place until they were all there staring at us!

I wish I had screen-shotted...but in my terror....

[yunkor]

Yunkor stood completely still
Cradling his doll and beer he'd swill
He saw the gloom of impending doom
And ran quite fast from all evil

Quickly quickly to the bridge
Where he'd be safe from being pillaged
By nasty goblins - "let them shoot my friends"
He cried, "i'll protect you, dolly" he pledged

He gave the doll to the NPC
"Yer gonna 'ave a drink wit me"
He said as though a prophet, and then danced like a Hobbit
She smacked him with the doll and ran quickly

======================


Pets kill me in every game. Why are pets so dumb?
"Hey look, a bunch of guys over there we're not fighting yet! I'll go get their attention!"

In the new game Gods and Heroes everyone will have pets. They should just name it "Aggro and Death"

Maybe they are mad we refer to them as "pets"?

[Delaney]

I never think about getting a screen shot. I was trying to take on as many as I could and wondering what had happened to the rest of you. This is pretty much how it went for me:

I'll just run around the corner ... I think the guy's up here ... glad I actually could remember this way. Darn*! (goblins!) Maybe I can get them to attack me and the others can go. Oh, crap, too late, someone's down. Fine, I'm going to kill them all now. <short interval of wild combat> Oh, hey, these goblins are in fact elite, they aren't dying quickly, and oh, I have about 131 morale points left. Well, I'm on a cliff. I'll jump and be safe! There. I'll just look to make sure and, hrm, they're jumping too. %&^$@! Run! Ouch! Of course they have ranged weapons. 11 morale, and cooldown timers in slow motion. I'm de... I'm not? They stopped. Whee! /dustoff

Actually, in a warped way, it was really rather fun. I was mainly glad that everyone got credit for the quest. And I surely wouldn't know what to do with a pet herald. I vaguely know of some of the problems with them drawing aggro which I picked up from a captain friend of mine, but I have more than enough of a problem keeping myself out of trouble. Anyone who tries to handle the pet to boot has my respect.

(* or something like it.)

Good times...good times

[OnyxBlade]

Great story! I believe I know one captain that may be looking forward to the Banners replacement to the Heralds!
