Went on the Monday night Session 3 of the Cavern of Transcendence. And …
\n… well, it all went to hell. Twice.
\nFirst time in, all looked like it was going pretty nicely. Good team — Darkthorne the lead, Kazima<\/strong>, Honeygun<\/strong>, Dubh Bas, Avocet, Dr. Meson, Tanker-belle, and Liberty Bill. Made it through the troll tunnels with no sweat (thanks, Kinetica) and only one death (mine, dammit, too close to a troll TNT stash when it blew). Got in, battled our way forward. Good thing to have two tanks along this time, drawing agro. Cleared out the initial group, most of the groups to the left, started working around to the right, then the center … we were doing great, ahead of schedule …
\n… and then made our first mistake, as we tackled the group at the top of the ramp, without clearing out the last group on the left. Which got pulled into it, which overwhelmed us, leaving half the team dead on the ramp.
\n\"2005-04-11_transcend.jpg\"After several minutes of fruitless pulls, abortive resurections, and general additional debt incursion, we gave up. The deaders went to Atlas for hospitalization (we had nobody with Rez, except for one who could do it in battle). The livers stayed in place to prevent a re-pop.
\nExcept that, nearly to the mission entrance again, somebody discoed out. They got back in, but the TF was broken, and we all had to exit and restart. Which was disappointing, but doable, and the mission clock reset.
\nWe went in again, no problem. Got to Cavern … and found the enemies had popped up a level. Swell. Fought one group. Fought another group. Fought the next group. Fought the … crap, pulled some extras, or there was something off with the healing, or … well, half the party went down. More than half. All but two. Honeygun, fleeing to the exit, ended up embedded in the rock next to the lava.
\nAnd most of the deaders were smack where the Igneous were milling about, stepping on their corpses.
\nOne unsuccessful pull (and death) later, and we realized that was about it for the night. The last person threw himself on the enemy (so he could get a death-teleport back to Atlas), and we called it an evening, with promises to try it once again, maybe next Monday.
\nOn the bright side, we got a couple of new Lessons Learned<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
