This is the official thread for the progress made by our Horsemen of the Apocalypse MP group. I dare you not to deplete your adrenaline reserves just thinking about this project.

-No teleport. We ride together.
-No shields. We do not fear death. (He’s on our team.)
-No mercenaries.* We only need each other. (*However, Conquest can have one as part of his summoned beast package)
-Complete all quests. We are thorough.
-FAM mod status. We are not vanilla.
-Softcore. We don’t fear death, but we do fear ping.
-We’re killing Hell Baal and getting to lvl 85 (the order of those goals doesn’t matter).
-Keep in the appropriate color scheme with your helm and armor. The items might not be the most beneficial, but use them anyway. Aside from the helm and armor, the rest of the gear is up to you. Tailor it accordingly.
Famine’s Journal
Entry 1 – The Horsemen Ride
God, I’m hungry. Anyway, tonight our group of world-ending, apocalypse-inducing heroes met up and started crackin’ skulls. Well, actually, only four of our group members actually met up to start crackin’ skulls. True to his nature, Pestilence arrived fashionably late (and wearing yesterday’s clothes) before he joined in any of the skull crackery. He also hadn’t showered. At any rate, we set to work stomping monster faces and, hey, is anyone else starving? I could really go for some hot wings right about now. But I forget myself. Where was I? Ah yes, we tracked down a zombie rogue. We then killed and ate her. She was terrible. Terribly delicious that is! Nah, but seriously, she was pretty bad. Corpse flesh and dried tendons don’t do much for me without wing sauce. Anyway, after dispatching countless more of the walking dead and their quilly counterparts, we rolled on through a few levels of jails and what have you, killing and eating everything in sight (my group members focusing more on the former while I gobbled as fast as I could). We ended up smack dab in front of a half-nekkid broad that went down easier than a pair of Death’s underwear at the mere mention of latex. She was dead, so onward and eastward. We ended up in a tired, little, dried-up desert town and again set to work crackin’ those skulls. After destroying a mummy, the world's biggest meal worm, and a man with the fruitiest hat on the planet, we decided to stop and eat. Bout damn time! However, at the sight of our next foe—a sick sort of slug on steroids—I almost choked on my toothpick. Still, we tore him a new bug hole, Horseman-style. Then we set our sights on Kurast and haven’t looked back. Anyway, I’ll catch ya next time. Wendy’s is callin’ my name. [/end]

We game every Sunday, so this thread should get updated once a week time permitting (and the other horsemen should post some of their pics/thoughts/comments as well). So, read along and enjoy the journey.

Was a fun ride tonight for sure. Things got really interesting once Pestilence made it onto the field. Things seemed to go rather smoothly. Was much better for me once I reached a lvl to get some better gear on and a much better bow Thnx to Zylo.
My one and only screeny not sure why lol

looking forward to next weeks ride, hopefully War will have a better time keeping his seat atop his trusty steed.....
Death forgot that he had his camera for most of the trip but got these pics.
Here we are starting off
Remains of the Countess
In Kurast
I'm going to link to this classic picture again and draw your attention to Death's Taunting action. -- classic horsemen goodness right there and a great shot.
And just to clarify things a bit, Death and I think it was Conquest (with the bow) cleared out the Maggot Lair while the other 3 riders went to the Lost Temple. Famine just stopped by to eat the meal worm! and play tourist with his fancy cameraWe actually finished those two item gatherings within a few seconds of each other -- "great timing" indeed. (Of course that was only made possible because we turned the wrong way on ML2 and ended up clearing the entire level)
Seriously a lot of fun last night. Good pace and we're starting to get some nice complimentary skills.
Death last night wore:
Death's Guard sash
Death's Hand gloves (there was no other option)
Socketed Breast Plate with 1 chipped skull (to make it black) and 2 jewels of envy
Socketed Helm with 1 chipped skull and 1 jewel of envy
3 socketed normal scythe that I never bothered to fill until level 19 when I swapped on Soul Harvest.
Hsarus' Iron Heel boots for FRW
Ammy/rings = Angelics combo (but I felt a little dirty wearing these)
Charms were all +4 Dex GC's and +4 Str GC's so that I could equip the scythe out of the gate (41 Str/41 Dex req)
Fashionably late indeed. I, Pestilence, had a hot date last night: a cute little thing named Mary. Typhoid Mary, that is.
Well, okay, so I started the Apocalypse a bit late. By the time I arrived, my compatriots had already begun. I rushed to catch up, but I ended up going and finding a few of their leftovers to infect, just to get into the swing of things. Hey, the Apocalypse isn't easy, okay?
After we wasted that Andariel woman (she thought she knew how to spread disease around, but we showed her!), we moved on to Lut Gholein. Ah, what wonderful sewers they had! I felt right at home.
We had to move on though. It was I who followed in the wake of Death, softening up those creatures we met with doses of cholera, plague, and anthrax- just whatever I happened to have around, you know- before he stepped in and did his job. The obvious one, you fool- just look at his name!
Overall, though, I think I still have to get the hang of this whole thing. I mean, I really need to find a better delivery method for all those plagues that I drop on the unsuspecting, and maybe start culturing some even more deadly viruses. However, in my secret lab, I am working on both of those very things...
Gear so far:
Envy-jeweled breastplate, cap, and shortbow
Death's gloves and Sash
Hsaru's boots
Cathan's ammy + rings
Str large charms
You know, it is a lot easier to spread a plague by shooting little flying needles into things, rather than having to walk up to each and every little thing we run across and stab a needle into it at close range. Especially since some of them stick back... But that's only until I perfect my new delivery system.
You don't mind that I borrowed your gloves, do you? Especially since I gave you a bit of a plug there![]()
Looking very nice so far everyone. I'm happy to see that shields are banned from this group too![]()
