Hack and Smash

Rita and Runt continue rolling through the opposition (with a couple of caveats). We finished up 28 and most of 29 — picked up the Wolf Whistle, and concluded the whole first half of the Croatoa arc.

Including, of course, the dreaded “Stop the 30 Fir Bolg from Trotting Past You at High, Nearly-Unaggroable Speed to Get At the Door, Which Looks More Like Stonehenge” mish. Not the easiest of things to do with a pair of scrappers. We did last a while, though, taking them as they came, usually with at least one or two slpping through each wave.

I do so wish there was some sort of “progress bar” or timer on the mission. When that 30th pumpkin flees, it’s almost a blessing.

We each had the mission, but for some reason I didn’t get credit for it. So instead, I “Cancelled for Credit,” which netted me the same XP as about 7 waves and no SO drops, but took a lot less time and a lot less aggravation.

After that, we wrapped up the rest of the sub-30 content in Croatoa. The final “Stop the Eternal Battle” mish got a bit bloody — one death for me, about three for Margie, mostly alpha strike issues, which are the greatest vulnerabilities for regen scrappers. The Mooses are fairly flimsy, but in aggregate they hit pretty hard …

UPDATE: I note with amazement that R&R have become our third fourth highest pair (after PC/A, Hildy/Torchy, and Velvet/P-siren). Wow.
