Blackfathom Deeps Successful Splashing

It's traditionally slow over the Christmas period, with lots of people away and all, but we have seen some nifty Christmas Caper adventures.

On Monday (December 26th), Shinytoaster (L22 Paladin), Zim (Mage), Rianna (L20/21 Priest), Kariandra (L35 Warrior), and Elsheindra (L60 Druid) went through Blackfathom Deeps and did the Hydra. Rianna levelled up during the run and was a tad low. Like most casters, she found it difficult to inflict much damage on monsters more than a few levels above her, but she was then able to concentrate on dealing out the heals while Kariandra tanked and pulled with Elsheindra. Elsheindra was a little high-level ( :-P ), but she tried to keep it even by fighting unarmed.

I interviewed Shinytoaster after the run to find out what he had learned. This is what he told me, "Don't activate all the candles at once." Upon closer questioning, however, it turned out he'd actually learned quite a bit by observing where things went well and where things didn't, especially to do with pulling and pets.

Elsheindra was heard to comment at the time about how, "... in my day, it was much harder!", probably because she went along without any level 60 escorts. The fact that the group had a L35 and a L60 escort saved them from at least two total party wipeouts. This reporter, a traitor to her sex apparently, has to say that Zim should learn to keep his women more firmly leashed as some deaths were due to an overzealous succubus running off into a room full of nasties and bringing them back! In the end, while Elsheindra paid 80s for repairs, only Rianna and Zim died during the run, and only once at that.

So, congratulations guys, on a nicely done teaching run.
