Yes folks, thats 7 health.

Niiiice.

Reminds me of the time the megalith nearly killed Richter. *wipes tears* That was fun... should have logged it though...

Also... makes me wish I had more time. I'm down to an hour and a half to two hours a day, whereas this summer I was on all day. I don't get to do events like this anymore... sad.gif

2 deaths with the first death through vitality is kind of nasty... Furrikin are so un-tanky. dry.gif

...Only Tuek survived.
Niara2004-12-02 09:06:15
Uhm, no..he died too
Unknown2004-12-02 10:04:17
He meant the only one to survive with vitae. The others who had vitae died, vitae'd, then died again in a single message.
Val2004-12-02 14:05:04
Ha, I survived too...but I was phased hehe
Unknown2004-12-02 14:06:15
Note to self, call upon Halfix and Eternal flame people to drain the nodes and sit 100 feet away and laugh at them!
stagar2004-12-02 16:29:30
...does anyone else find this whole venture sucidal? really people, this is like the Raise of Mhaldor all over again. Abunch of people fighting each other for a city...How..HOW?! why? simply must kill themselves so much that they don't even wanna come around anymore.

Seriously...does anyone else find the disturbing level in this great humours moment of everyone else suffering?
Shiri2004-12-02 16:35:28
I don't know about violence - the only thing that came close to a fight at the Gaudiguch node was Akraasiel threatening a Moondancer, then shutting up quickly when Narsrim started putting his defences up. All the deaths here weren't through violence, it was the node exploding. All peaceful.
stagar2004-12-03 16:05:10
meh, but its the same concept. Two teams of people are struggling for a cause...and their just killing themselves over and over to get this cause. Maybe its not on as large a scail, but it just seems so bloody suicidal and stupid to me. *Shrug* *loves his commune, no impaleing, lets all go hug tree's* heh
Ihsahn2004-12-04 04:29:38
If they're not willing to die to bring their city back, who would want them leading it when it's brought back? Seems to me that characters doing a lot for the quests and then following through with their inevitable death, all for the good of the cause, would be the most favored for leadership positions.
