It was going to be a Psi-clone/Amorpha duo night, to finish up the Sands of Mooooooo, but we ended up getting invited onto a team with Liberty Bill, Malcalypse, Seventy-Six, Kessa, Kinetica, Shock.Therapy, etc. (composition varied over time) that was doing some higher-level content, including some Portal Corp. adventures and a big Carnie hunt.
Whew! The first PC adventure was pretty straightforward and unthreatening, zapping Proteans off in some forest. The Carnies adventure was an outside map timed mish, and we dawdled a bit much early on — the final few minutes were a non-stop dash and blast and punch and …
Well, that one failed, and there could only have been some hapless Carny lurking somewhere. Frustrating.
The third adventure was fighting Inferno through the Portal. The final battle was the huge, bloody affair — engage the bad guys plus destroy the portal plus take down Inferno. The AV was tossing around 1000-hp-plus axe blows, and I think everyone in the group died at least once during the battle. Amorpha went down four or five times, one-shotted (she also had been on the magic portal, the main attacker of it, and went down when it exploded). I got tagged by a couple of folks once and went down. Folks were popping tabs of all colors, including rezzes.
Everyone ended up in debt. I’m about 9k, and Margie’s, um, about 48k.
As to tactics during that final, bloody melee — yeesh. Shock was doing the main high number healing, but there was too much for her, esp. with rezzing and tping bodies out of the battle zone. I threw up Assault, occasionally pulled up Phantom Army, and just concentrated on my Empathy secondary, practically as fast as stuff came up.
Glad I was there — and glad everyone was there, because everyone contributed at the end.
By end of night, PC had gotten up to about 5.5 pips into 29. Amorpha was at over 7, but all the rest of hers were brown.
Good, exhausting stuff.
Now, if Katherine had slept in beyond 6:30a, it would have been a nearly perfect evening.

I always try to figure out which of my friends are teamed up. I saw you two, Shock and Kessa on my Global list in a team of 8, then on the regular list saw that Kinetica was, too. I assumed you were all part of the same team, and that was confirmed when you went in and out of missions together, and when the team dropped to 7 members. I wondered who the others were. I wish I’d been around when you started; it sounds like an exciting evening.
I made my first trip to Peregrine last night, to assist Barometra. I’d never met her, but she seems to be a fine team leader. No casualties, but I cut it close once. Then, coincidentally, Abby hopped on the PI ferry just as I was getting off. I hopped back on so that I could say “Hi” and make sure we’re still on for tonight. (Try not to get into too much trouble tonight; I don’t want to feel obligated to cut our date short to pull somebody’s fat out of the fire!)
