It was going to be a Psi-clone\/Amorpha<\/strong> 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.
\nWhew! 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 …
\nWell, that one failed, and there could only have been some hapless Carny lurking somewhere. Frustrating.
\nThe 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.
\nEveryone ended up in debt. I’m about 9k, and Margie’s, um, about 48k.
\nAs 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.
\nGlad I was there — and glad everyone was there, because everyone contributed at the end.
\nBy 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.
\nGood, exhausting stuff.
\nNow, if Katherine had slept in beyond 6:30a, it would have been a nearly perfect evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
