Mr. R and Charity got onto CoV a little late last night, but things were fairly quiet anyway. We focused on trying to clear out the rest of our Cap Au Diable missions, and nearly succeeded (dinging to 21 in the process, huzzah).
Ran a couple of new mission maps for me — the PTS station redress of the Council maps (very, very nice, and it makes me wonder why we don’t see it during the Tarikoss SF) and the Giant Pit map during the Free Willy’s Informant, Ace Whatsisname.
Pretty good fun — the missions were a scosh old, so it was a lot of blue and white, which we basically took at a run. Mr. R determined that the Shivans were basically Jello Salads on the Hoof — a bit fattening if one overindulges, but vigorous exercise can counter the calorie intake.
I like how the PTS plot ties in with the first SF.
One of the missions is to rescue the reporter held captive at the bottom of a PTS station. On the screens is a picture of the end boss of the SF, as well as some other shots from the last mission.
I need to work on bringing up my Champion Thug MM, as well as trying some other ATs. The dark/fire brute is showing himself to be a paper tiger when fighting things that are more than level +2.
It ties in perfectly. Which is why I’m surprised a mission to that locale isn’t part of the SF itself.
Margie gleefully was reading the mission color text, which also ties in (and would have been darned spooky if I hadn’t done the TF).
