A resonant and acoustic chime was heard through the keep of Dreadspire tonight as the unnamed bard finally witnessed
a performance that matched his expectations, and post his ballads being recited properly, the forgotten artist
could leave the Demi-Plane at peace.
This event requires an immense amount of preparation and coordination, and we have been throwing ourselves relentlessly
at it for about a week now, though sadly we still have to restart the expedition each time we wish to attempt the event
anew. The latter portion of the encounter is more intense than anything we have ever experienced in the game before, and I
would not be surprised if that part is tuned down significantly. Despite the late hour we decided to visit the master who
beckoned us for some company, but as of yet we can only provide you with one picture. Rest assured more will follow tomorrow
though.
Roley DeFarge was once known as the greatest leader the paladin order of Marr had ever seen, though despite being the recipient
of acclaim and flattery, Roley sought to further his name beyond what any mortal could possibly achieve. When failing to
return from Dreadspire Keep, a hunting party including his own wife Adrianna found that he had been enslaved by the master residing
within, sharing fates with both Tris Wallow and Devlin Rochester. Roley displayed his complete devotion to the unDead by slaying his own wife to please his new master.
While Sanguimanus the Redfang offered the greatest challenge of the first tier, Roley DeFarge is without a quiver of doubt the
toughest encounter in the second, and should he remain in his present incarnation not many will overcome this ordeal any time
soon. Only the performer stands between Raging Fury and the unwreathing of the master, and hopefully we will be able to introduce
you all to his eluding presence shortly.
Thousands of years ago, Devlin Rochester set forth to slay the greatest abomination the world had ever seen,
namely May.. the master of Dreadspire Keep. His accidental killing of a young woman thought to be a lycanthrope
gnawed at him from within, and ridden by guilt he was overwhelmed by the ominous power that resided in the Demi-Plane
of Blood, ending up serving the very presence he had come to vanquish.
Despite dazzling us with a vaste array of weapons, the remnants of what was once Devlin was found lacking tonight
as his tormented captivity came to an end.
Anthas decided to purchase everything of value, but was graceful enough to thank the guild for aiding him. I was not
playing from my regular computer at the time of Devlin's death, thus one could almost believe that it was Zorrbald who
had provided the pictorial material, hence the old world models.
The festering lycanthrope that had lingered within Tris Wallow III for close to three thousand years was purged for the
first time ever tonight on Antonius Bayle as the second tier of the Demi-Plane of Blood lost its diplomatic tactician.
Torn from within by the remnants of what was once a brilliant strategic mind, Tris sought to rid herself of what had sadly
dissipated her to a state of insanity.
Tris Wallow was a highly interesting encounter, and much to Imothep's (our local champion of lore) approval the lore leading up to
this event played a significant part in overcoming it. The reflagging component of the Demi-Plane was also discovered tonight,
and a sigh of relief was heard when we all understood that curse progression flagging is a thing of the past.
Several guilds are currently progressing through the Demi-Plane at a fast rate, racing eachother in an attempt to be the first
to finish this particular expansion. Regardless of outcome, this phase of the game is in my opinion the most interesting one, as
newly aquired loot is instantly linked on a serverwide basis merely seconds after they appear on lucy. Most servers have their
fair share of intrigues between guilds battling for the top spot, but personally we feel that you should relish that competition
and embrace it for what it is, namely a catalyst that will motivate your guild beyond their normal boundaries. How you get
there is equally important to when you get there.
We are still looking for a few dedicated clerics or dark drachnids to join our guild, if you are either, do not hesitate to contact Illandra in game, or utilize the private message function on our forum. Note that dark drachnids are expected to attend a mezzbreaking course prior to commencing their potential trial.
For close to a week now, our tactical approach to the Redfang encounter has remained unaltered, though sadly we were
not able to field an optimal raidforce until tonight. Sunday seems to be day of reckoning for our guild, our
best prior attempt at this particular encounter was, you guessed it, last Sunday, and with every class accounted for,
hopes and expectations were both high.
There are still several aspects of this fight that we can improve upon, but an ambiance of euphoria quickly spread
through the guild as realisation of victory dawned upon those present tonight. The images of Redfang are all but
lacking, so we will also include two random pictures taken during our exploration of the second tier in the Demi-Plane
tonight. While none are unique, I for one have always enjoyed seeing pictures of new and unbeaten mobs displayed on
the various newspages of diverse Everquest guilds throughout the years.
We are still looking for a few clerics to compliment our healing branch, please review the forum for details, or contact our newly appointed recruitment officer, Illandra, in game.
Raging Fury is currently looking for a few clerics to join our ranks. The two primary traits we are looking for is high activity and ability. Please review the cleric requirements in our application section on the forum, though note that the alternate advancement listed is merely a preferred amount, not necessarily a mandatory number.If interested, please contact either Nineveh, Xack, Zorrbald, Thordanis or Svartrot in game, or through the private message function on the forum.
