Alot of people have complained about the lack of corpseshots displayed on the page of late. Personally I thought
an action picture spoke volumes well beyond a corpse stained across the zone interior, though upon receiving
a few comments, in addition to reading the latest news posting on Darkwind's frontpage,
I decided to explore the possibility of directly influencing the position of the Anguish nameds once
merely a few percentage of their lifebar remained. Much to Uren's disdain I might add, how could one even consider to let an AE
rampage mob roam blithely through our raidforce!
Despite initial worries, the results were not half bad, bar Ture who seemingly managed to force himself into a nearby
wall after having been stalked in open territory for quite some time. We are still working hard on aiding Jelvan, and I
fear having to write another news posting within the week. That being said, we are still looking for a few dedicated
clerics to join our ranks, high playtime and alternate advancement are both traits held in high regard, the rest we can easily
provide.
Countless hours has of late been spent amid the remnants of Jelvan's nightmare in the
lower depths of Anguish. Haunted sans comparison by the three ellusive Tormentors, we
have been throwing ourselves repeatedly at a seemingly relentless foe, though post one
of our later attempts, we discerned one of the vital aspects that eventually yielded
the key to solving this event.
I've read numerous places that this event is one of the hardest designed to date in Everquest,
and while I fully agree with that assessment, I must voice my disapproval towards any encounter
that deems 20% of the expedition to be inhabited by clerics a necessity. That being said, the
Jelvan encounter offered us an andrenaline rush that has long been absent in an Omens raid
endeavour. If nothing else, conquering the tormentors is the ultimate test of teamwork and
coordination, a test any guild would be proud to complete.
Our recent progression was somewhat halted by a lack of key classes for events such a Jelvan,
though with a recent influx of new trialists, we are ready to continue where we left off prior
to the last year coming to an end. A formal greeting was obviously arranged with Arch Magus Vangl,
ending at 65%, though I will not promise any corpse shot here tomorrow, only time will tell. In case you wonder where
all our globes of discordant energy are ending up, the second picture below should suffice for explanations!
Merely one quote this time, though the content alone is disturbing enough to justify the limited amount. For explanations
