Subject: [smee] SMEE Sunday Sunday Sunday!
Well, the SMEE session we had today turned into a bit more than we'd=20
bargained for. Instead of the usual 4 - 5 hour stint we expected,=20
poking around Crypt of Nadox in search of Fecund Flesh for one of my=20
quests, we ended up playing for 9.5 hours (until 6:30 pm our time) in a=20
mini-raid against the Luggald Broodmother.
It all started out fairly normally. Flue and I were there, and Gil,=20
Swayze, and Tae. Brum was waiting to log on after figuring out whether=20
he should bring Nak or Hak. Swayze told us that she'd like to bring=20
along two friends that were FA recruits in need of some exposure -- a=20
cleric (Razzak?) and a wizzy (F-something). So, sure -- no problem.=20
Nak logged in and we were on our way.
We entered Nadox through the Gunthak temple with no problem and got all=20
the way to the upper luggald room before things got messy. I can't=20
remember the details, but at one point, Flue and the cleric were trying=20
to run back to the zoneline, with the rest of us tucked away in a corner =
of a luggald room. Somewhere along the line, a jolly necro=20
(V-something) in search of Fecund Flesh had joined our group. Tae had=20
just logged out. And a mention that we were in Nadox on the FA guild=20
channel had a few more people asking to join us -- Bralvenea, Danimal,=20
Tigerchi, and (briefly) Polarstorm and Quigonn at least. But Razzak=20
died after he lost invis, and Flue died soon after. Our little "hold=20
the fort" group started feeling decidedly unsafe, so our wizzy evacced=20
everyone but me to the succor point (near the Torgarim Mines zoneline),=20
while I picked up the corpses and took them to the Gunthak zoneline.=20
The FA newcomers met me there, and Nak turned into Hak, and us southern =
bunch fought our way north to the succor bunch. By this time, we had=20
enough people (13, with 4 over level 60) that -- what the heck -- we=20
thought we'd try to take on the Luggald Broodmother.
We cleared the north end of the Luggald incubator room and snuck behind=20
the incubator itself. (Very atmospheric, if crowded). We cleared the=20
hallway to the Ambassador/Broodmother room. We cleared the=20
Ambassador/Broodmother room, apart from the Ambassador himself. Flue=20
walked up to the Ambassador and said, "We are here for the phat lewtz."=20
The Ambassador was not impressed and aggroed on Flue. We made short=20
work of him, and the Broodmother spawned.
Now, Flue and I had read up on the Broodmother. We knew that she'd=20
spawn and "walk around the room" while spawning little broodlings, and=20
that we wouldn't be able to target her until she was done spawning.=20
What we didn't realize was that she didn't walk around the room she=20
spawned in -- she walked out of that room, down the long hallway (with=20
repops starting) to the incubator room and there do her spawning=20
walkabout. Flue followed her out, watching with some amazement, while=20
the rest of us stayed near her spawn spot and dealt with repops.=20
Despite a clever plan involving Highsun, Flue wasn't able to bring her=20
back to us, and he died. I tried to recover his corpse, and the=20
Broodmother killed me too. Danimal managed to recover both corpses, but =
... we decided to call it a night (even though Swayze wasn't tired and=20
was sure we could take 'em all). Afterward, it took a few hours before=20
my eyes would focus at some distance other than the focal length to my=20
monitor. Urg -- my longest EQ session to date. =20
Not bad lootage. I got my 3 fecund fleshes (so I'll be able to turn=20
them in and be ready for the final Bonebite battle next Sunday), Gil got =
the amulet he needed to finish his spell (was it Ice Spear or=20
something?), Razzak got his pure blood and blackened vial (though I=20
don't think Hak did), and F-something got 3 out of 4 luggald hearts he=20
didn't really want for one of his spells. In addition, about 300 plat=20
for each of us left splitting the loot. Flue repeatedly discovered that =
Fading Memories is his favorite AA of all. In addition, we have some=20
leftover gems for SMEEmoney's share of the lewtz.
Folks involved that I remember -- help me out with the right names, =
folks:
Fluellen (bard)
Rhysel (rogue)
Swayze (pally)
Kirnak/Hakken (pally/cleric)
Taeaen (pally)
Gildarr (ranja smelling of elderberries)
Bralvenea (SK)
Razzak? (cleric)
F-something (wizzy)
Tigerchi (beastlord)
Polarstorm (briefly) (shammy)
Quigonn (briefly) (cleric?)
V-something (funny necro)
Danimal (druid)
Eskamo (SK)
For FAers here, please visit the FA website and put in a plug for the=20
three folks that helped us that would like to join FA -- Razzak (is that =
really the right name?), F-something (Swayze, help me out here), and=20
Eskamo (ah, one that's easy to remember). They were great folks, and=20
the first two were with us the entire time. Razz was especially heroic, =
as he's british and stayed up ueber late to finish, even though he has=20
to get up for work in the morning. Let's hear it for the new folks!
=20
Anyway. Now I can't sleep. We missed those of you who weren't there -- =
gotta try that again sometime.
