By the time we got Kitten to bed after Margie’s (last, for now) church adult ed dinner, it was about 8:30. Plenty of time for some CoH action.
Signed in as Velvet Jones to get the latest on the Somebody Killed a Bunch of Freedom Phalanxers saga. Got a quick invite from Boulder Dude to a mish with him and Avocet, but also got a ping about some “story” in the saga that I could pursue.
Decided to do both, with Margie in tow as P-Siren. Headed off to Hollows with my 16th level Tanker, Margie’s 15th level Controller, to help BD’s MoFo Firefly (13th level Blaster) and Avocet’s, er, Avocet (16th level Blaster) take on some Pumicites.
The consensus very quickly was that Tanks and Bubbles make a big difference when fighting rock-hurling earth elemental types. We pretty swiftly cleared the cave …
Well, then, we needed to go on to Avocet’s Troll Base #2 mish, which was nearby. That was a little bit hairier (since the mobs were 0/+1 to me), but nothing too difficult.
After that, we twisted the others’ arms into heading over to Perez Park for a sewer mish (see clue, above). Margie, alas, had disco/login problems on the way over, so we burned a good 15 minutes or more — and, because of the disco, we couldn’t get into the mish before she arrived.
Not that it would have been a big problem, and, in fact, it was likely just as well, since the mobs inside were -2/-1 to me — Lost, of various sorts — since it was a rather aged mish that Margie had on her pallette. Made for some good RP fodder for the saga, though.
Now at this point, it was 10:20p. Another mish? Margie said, “Sure!” since we were going back to the Hollows to do yet another rendition of Frostfire (Margie’s, this time, and fresh). Much faster to get there (time enough for me to bop ten grey trolls on behalf of Whozits the Mystic between Super-Jumps).
By this time, I have the place mentally mapped out (“Are there any bad guys up th –” “No! Move on!”), and it being Margie’s mish, the folks were blue/white to me. We pounded through the place without too much trouble (for the first time in the last three outings for me, FF wasn’t right up by the final door), and finally broke out …
… at about 12:30p. I have no idea what took all that time. Maybe I have the times wrong. But it was way too late by the time we turned off the light.
On the other hand, Velvet dinged to 17, P-Siren to 16, and MoFo to 14, so it was a profitable evening. And, yes, a fun one. And, yes, too long of one …

Hmmm…
I thought that we started for the Frosty mish on the other side of 10:00 like 9:50…which really shocked me when we we’re done and it was just a hair before midnight.
Also, MoFo overcame 2500 Debt to ding *15th* level over the evening. All sorts of new debt due to teaming up with people that have no clue what they are doing.
The mish I dropped prior to Avo showing up was a new level of silliness.
Some form of troll mission, and the guy pulls in 6 other people. We go in and the first group is hard but we delt with them. The second group is the largest collection of trolls in one hallway that I’ve ever seen. We go in kill three of them lose two party members, and MoFo runs for the door to recover. Go back in and the leader refuses to either go to the Hospital or usw an awaken. In the first battle, we had cleared enough to get a better look at the mob.
Included: 2 Purple Ogres, 4 Caliban’s, 8 Gord’s and at least thirty assorted minions. I was flabbergasted. This was just the hallway mind you, not the end cave.
So, at this point I tell the leader to get back up or I’m leaving.
He refused again.
I quit.
As I exit the door, I am happy to see that everybody else is exiting the mish as well leaving him dead just on the otherside of the door.
also, as I said last night 25 and 2 Vs Frosty!
I definitely know it was 10:20p when we ended the sewer mish and headed over, because I looked (and I’m the Official Clock Watcher for our duo).
Wow…
Good thing I wasn’t looking at the clock then, otherwise we wouln’t have cleared it for Margie and just gone to bed.
on the plus side, it’s meet up with Flux for the defuse the bomb’s (I think that’s the order), then to Julius for kill ten trolls, Pumicites, kill ten trolls in red river (this is where Zazi, MoFo and Roben are).
P.S. You’re write up of the Velvet Jones bit on the Perez park mish was a fun read.
Ah.
Margie and I have both cleared Flux. We’ve met Julius. We’ve met the Mystic. I think we’re both on the Igneous mish (Pumicites?).
Mystic?
I’ve not seen a mystic.
Though I do not have any magic archetypes so that may be the reason. VJ had a bunch of CoT stuff as well I remember.
The Pumicites mish will read as “kill all creatures in cave” with the info button saying something about Pumicites and Ingius.
I’ve just received my last mission from Talshak the Mystic, in the Hollows. Have to take out the Troll leader, who retains some of his former intellect, meaning that a tough group will be required to defeat him.
So, whenever you guys are ready…
Heh. Well, meetings for me tonight, which means probably just some minor lower-level running about after I get home. Check in with VJ long enough to get scolded by the Strategist and then to bed.
