Hi All,
After last Wednesday debacle where we messed up the start time and only half the team were on time, last night was alot better, with a full team showing up ... Chiller-Babe being the exception, but we forgive her .... after all she is on her honeymoon.
The team was ...
Leaper Barb
Posion Necro
Bone Necro
FOH / Conviction Pally
Wind Druid
Fire Druid
Hydra / Static Sorc
We decided to redo the rescue of Cain as a few were missing this quest. All was going to plan til we actually entered the red portal to Tristran. 4 members of the team went across the bottom of Tristan and engaged Gris, while myself and one of the necro went to free Cain. (mistake number 1 ... we should have stayed togather) Before we reached Cain, a pack of Goat thingy's and their boss intercepted us. Our 2 mercs and the necro's golem blocked the Goats while the necro bonespeared and I static'ed, but they were too much, our minions died so we had to back off towards our party. We hoped to confuse the monsters and stop them following us by taking the corner sharply. They weren't on our tail as we rounded the bend so I assumed we had succeeded, and I went to help static Gris. Our pally at this stage was standing behind the group not doing much (mistake number 2 ... typing a message, drinking coffee ?) when I noticed the Goats hadn't been fooled by us, they had followed after all. The Pally being the closest started get to hit by them. I put up some hydras on top of Goats and staticed for all I was worth, but still the Pally remained immobile. In my mind I was screaming for him to move. I didn't have time to message, as I my fingers were busy firing off attack spells. Our Leaper Barb saw the Pallys was in need of immediate help and tried the intercept and warcry the goats, but he was a second too late, the Pally got deeds.
We stood around feeling sad at the loss of a party member (our first KTA 4.0 death), especially me as the fault was partially mine. I kept wondering why he didn't move, but that didn't change the fact, I helped set the goats off in the first place. I am very sorry about that, Baroni.
Rather than Baroni retire for the remainder of KTA 4.0 we asked if he had another untwinked character around this our level, which fortunately he did We were between level 72-75, and he returned with a level 72 trapper. Using most of the looted Pally's equipment, we replaced the trappers gear in order to stick with our principle of being an untwinked team. We also kept our eyes open for specialized Assassin gear.
Of we went Black Marsh and continued throught Hell Act 1. Our newest member fitted in very well. With the fire Sorc and Druid providing various Fire attacks, our Poisonmancer nova'ing poison, and our Trapper spamming lightening, we had 3 strong elemental attacks, and nothing was immuned to our party.
The remainder of Act 1 went according to plan, except for Andy who dropped garbage when she was toasted. She was meant to drop some really delicious uber items, but she obvious wasn't following the same plan we were. Then again it could have had something to do with our pretty low MF.
Well, people it was great to run with a full team again, and except for the death of our pally ... it was a fun night. I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday.
Magnus / Vix : I was wondering if you feel like a little KTA action ? Next Monday I will be away in India with work for 2 weeks and will not be able to attend our evening sessions. Could I ask one of you to join KTA 4.0 and play KTA-Sol the Hydra / Static Sorc for me ? With the loss of Conviction, her screen wide Static becomes quite important. I haven't checked with the others, but I'm sure this will be ok as you both are old time KTA members. If you let me know by Friday, I'll give you the password to the account.
Regards
