Hit 41 with Amorpha <\/strong>and Psi-clone<\/strong> (and at about 2 a.m.), huzzah. Ran our first PI mission, dealt with Malta ambushers, dealt with Knives of Artemis, etc.
\nActually, the Malta bit was amusing (in a “My God, we’re all going to die” way). We’d just finished doing some mission that was likely to torque the Malta off. We split up — I went to Talos to shop, A. went to Skyway.
\n“Huh. Ambush. Ow!”
\nSo I began slowly flying that direction. She was at a store, and had ducked inside — but felt honor-bound to do something about it when she was healed because there were others outside dealing with her mess.
\nSo I’m flying back over Skyway, slowly, and I can see her health indicator going up and down, and hear crashes and explosions and such from her monitors —
\n— and wham!<\/em> red numbers roll up on me, too, and I toppled to the ground. Ouch.
\nHeal. Look. Nobody’s around. Fly to Amorpha, get there just as she wraps up the last of them.
\nExcept, clearly, more are coming — I’d overflown them (nothing native to Skyway would be likely to shoot at me, let alone do that much damage).
\nSo we prepped and waited, and here they came down the way, and before I could do much here comes the first wave of missiles …
\nOuch.
\nThen the second wave.
\nOuch.
\nAnd I’m staggering for the door to the store. Get inside. Heal. Rest. Explosions from Margie’s monitor. “I have the Titan. I have the Sapper.”
\nStagger back out. Turn. Blind. Heal.
\nWhoosh.
\nYeah. That was exciting. Now, who was the idiot who suggested that Malta story arcs for the 40-45 range might be fun?
\nFor what it’s worth, Margie’s already decided she dislikes the Knives more. Yes, they see right through our Invis. (and go Invis. themselves), and they use those frelling caltrops with gay abandon. That said, they blind and turn as easily as anyone else, and I can Fly over the caltrops (though fighting at a ruinous Endurance rate), so I can think of far worse opponents.
\nThat gameplay started later in the evening. During most of the day, we were running Mister Thorne <\/strong>and Undone<\/strong>, either by ourselves or with some of the other CoI, which was fun. Hit 14 with both of them so we have (huzzah!) travel powers (Fly and Tport, respectively, and are being made painfully reaware of just how Endurance-sucking both of them can be at the beginning) … \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
