* Lin'da walks up to the message board, and hangs the note high *
-
* Lin'da walks down to the messageboard, only to find her note low on the list, she pins it higher again *
-
* Lin'da walks up and looks at the note *
Hmm I could sure use some more clerics, and perhaps a figther more, I hope people sign up in time. I have a good feeling about this trip.
-
* Athus notices the sign and after a moment's pondering, signs himself up*
-
*Rufus looks at the note with interest and the sign up*
It has been long since I have adventured!
-
* Lin'da walks up and looks at the list again, pleased but not entirely. She adds a new note to the old ones that says *
This expedition is close to being full, Im very pleased that so many people have decided to join me into the depths. I would still hope that we could recruit one more fighter, for this trip, but if not, then so be it.
The names I have for this trip so far is the following:
Yard, Rawkwin, Emerald, Mith, Daeron, Ael, Goldwin, Katrien, Athus, Rufus.
If you dont see your name there, then its because you have not signed up, and I consider that the same as not coming, so ive you intend to come, -SIGN UP-. I hope I made myself clear regarding this point.
I will announce the final team tomorrow at 4.00 P.M. EDT. There will also be a Battleplan preapared shortly after. All those that are selected will read it, and understand its meaning, for our succes.
I hope that was all, but if theres something you want to ask about, your welcome to send me a message.
Sincerly yours Lin'da
-
*reads the note and snaps to attention giving a perfect and sincere salute* Yes maam.
-
*Ralinda reads over the list of names* Oops.
*quickly writes her own down*
-
* lin'da post a note *
Im sorry Lin, but we have enough wizards for now, your welcome to show up, and hope that someone will leave their spot for you. Otherwise I have to decline you.
-
Gunther will be more than happy to go help out (but doesnt meet the level req, being 18th. I'll leave it up to you, I'd rather not be a hindrance though).
-
* Lin'da seen Gunthers note and writes *
Ive seen you in combat, and Im short on figthers with great stamina, so your help will be usefull if no other signs up. Can you use a shield in one hand? If you can, then put your name down, and I will look through those I need for the trip.
-
Yep, Gunther uses a shield. Name added to list.
-
*Q walks up to the board and place a note*
I am will to help If I am needed.
You can find me around.
Quantum
-
* Lin'da walks cheerfull up to the message board and writes *
Due to some last minute planning, im gonna allow both Quantum and Ralinda to join us on this trip, this was only made possible due to Voon joining our group. I know that I would have announched the final team later, but im gonna close it now, and be satisfied with the interest.
The final team:
[list=1]
- Lin'da
- Yard
- Daeron
- Rawkwin
- Emerald
- Ael
- Katrien
- Mith
- Rufus
- Athus
- Ralinda
- Voon
- Goldwin
- Gunther
- Quantum
I have sent some messages around for diffrent people, as I need to know of certain cirlce of spells for this to work with so many. there will be a battleplan posted later. It will not have any tactic in it, but more of a guideline to how our magic will be devided. I hope this trip is gonna be succesfull.
-
Heres the battleplan for tonight. find your name on the list with a UNDERLINE. If your name is underlined then your gonna have to prepare the spells for the persons under your name.
This is what I want you to have atleast, all other spells will be selfbuffs and spells for fighting. Heals if your a cleric, and so on. If you got a question about the battleplan, post your question here, or send me a pm.
If you find a mistake somewhere, or know that it cant work, maybee your not being able to cast a certain spell or dont have enough spellsslot for whats written, let me know before we travel out.
If you cant find your name underlined, then your lucky, just relax and let the others buffs you.

*is drinking some water when finally reaching the bottom list and almost chokes* Wow, now that is a battle plan.
-
A lot of thought was put into this.
I have one comment though. Protection from Elements and GMW go into the same slot, according to the plan it means 10 slots. Now I could put some of them on extend or empowered, but I would rather suggest to change my 4 extra Protection from Elements with Mith's 4 extra Stoneskins. That way we can all fit into our slots without needless empowering and extending.
-
GMW is a third circle spell for wizards. 4th for Clerics, but since you need to handle all the GMw, thats not an issue. The 4 extra Protection from elements will be extended in your case Ar7, and you only need to buff Gunther. So it all works out right?
-
Alright, I will extend the Protections *nods*
-
* small change to the battleplan *
And your right Ar7, its easier for Mith to take them, and you get his stoneskin instead. You've also gotten my mindblank, as it makes me able to take one more sunburst. Look at the updated battleplan for the changes. Changes done to Mith and Ar7.

i -might- not be able to make it, stuff happened and i -might- not be able to get out of work in time. I hope these are not true, but with my luck, they are.
looking at some of the spells we have set up here though. i Might point out that Yard is quight able to cast Bulls and what not on himself, at least i think he is. Katrien is a bard isent she? Sooo. bards can cast Mass Haste too.. cant they? Oh yea and dont the drow and whatever down there have +5 weapons.. or something? Kinda makes Stone Skin a waist of slots if they do, though its still helpful against some spells and lesser monsters we might find..
-
I need to know if you cant come atleast 4 hours before we supposed to meet Mith, so I can find a replacement. If you dont say anything, I'll asume you can go, otherwise let me know.
Yes Yard can cast his own bulls, he can also cast stoneskin and alot of otherspells. But Yard is treated to being a fighter, so he will taken care of. I want equal, or close to equal conditions for the figthers. And Katrien is being treated aswell. If she can cast ekstra spells when we need them in battle, buts its up to the mages to make sure she dont have to. And yes most things have +5 weapons downthere, but many things rely on basic psysical damage and stoneskin is the best to absorb that up. Stoneskin is never a waist, especially not if your fighting one particuliar monster. I hope that cleared up some things.

Is this really realistic considering he said he will be at work and often people can't pop on at work or even know if they are going to get out on time until the last minute?
-
I dont force people to come, I dont take them away from work. But if they -do- sign up I want to be able to have them know if they can come or not. I have all the respect for RL and work, and I realice that something unexpected can happen. But as I said, Ive gotten lots of PM's for this trip, and I could have picked someone else instead. Therefore i would appreciate a tell from him, so I myself have a reasonable time to find a new person to fill his time. 4 hours is quite a short time to say your not coming anyway. But I want to give him as much time as possible.

This bard does not have Mass Haste. My general party role is usually sing... stay out of the way...sing... poke a few arrows... sing... dump healing as necessary till a healer can get to 'em ... sing..

Thats why we love you. Plain and simple.
-
I'm terribly sorry, but Gunther wont be able to make it after all. I really wanted to go too. RL reared its ugly head and intervened however. Speaking of which I'll pretty much be incommunicado all next week also.
I apologize for joining up one day and bailing out the next, I know its a pain.
-
All I have to say is "WOW"
-
Just a couple of quick comments on the battle plan. With Spell resistance, since it is level dependent I would suggest having the highest level cleric cast as many of the SR's as possible. Especially for the people that might get killed quick by a couple of spells. I acknowledge that each of these takes away a heal spell so it needs to be spread a bit so just a suggestion. I have seen the combination of bard song and curse song together give a huge advantage against the hard to hit monsters. Just a thought to keep in mind.

Thats okay Gunther, Ive gotten a replacement for you. Thanks for letting me know.

If you notice Ive gotten the highest level fighters get Athus spellresistance, then the next highest get yours. and then last the mages and bard get Voons as we wont be in the middle of battle. I think this is the best way to spred it out. But im open to ideas, and if it turns out theres a better way to cover 12 people with spell resistance, let me know.

I think you have a great plan. LETS DO IT.

er... how about i let you know a hour and a half after it should have started? hehe i just got home, im very sorry if i made any complcations, i had every intention of going, but, you know how it is, or you will eventually. Work work work. @ice; and i think you the only one that can pop in play whill at work.. i love your job!
-
Two words - Great Trip!!!
-
Great Fun... even if all the bard did was sing and die... Can't wait to get together again
-
This trip was the best birthday present I could have thought of. The trip was very well planned and executed. Way to go Linda. Lets do it again soon.
-
I had a great time everyone. It was an honor to work for you Linda. The group was outstanding and knew their roles well. Thanks for letting me be a part of it. You did a GREAT job with the organization of this whole trip. Emerald has her Emerald now . Yippee!!!!
-
Great planning on Blackguy's part, well done!!
New fan for Athus, woo!
-
I'd call it a great succes, especially since I also managed to show up for work after having finished in the morning. :)

Ice is running something at that time so i wont be able to make it, as much as i would love to.
-
Your aboslutely right, I even signed up for it. I guess I will move my event by one week. Wonder why I didnt see that.
-
*does the happy he isent going to miss the emerald trip dance* Score!
-
/// Ice moved the quest, so it can go back to the old date.
-
*Ael sees the notice and signs up, ponders silently to himself* As before, likely there won't be any room for further explorations apart from our primary goal. But perhaps I'll find some clues along the way about what I seek. I'll discuss this with Sahala. We will be especially vigilant.
-
* chuckles abit *
Alright, Its gonna happen on the 15th anyway. Thanks to people for letting me know about the moving around.
-
* lin'da walks up and makes a note *
I suggest many more frontliners sign up for this trip, and were abit short on clerics aswell. But I may have to cut some mages as the number is getting to high. The final party will be anounced 12 hours before we start so we have a chance to make a plan. But any frontliner signing up now, are garanteed a spot.
-
*Ketil adds his name to the list with a note that he'll try to be there*
-
I'm available and interested.

If your thinking of joining the trip, you better be a cleric. All other spots are now taken. I wont say by who yet, but you dont have much a chance to join if your not a cleric. I thank you all for the interest.
Here the details if your a cleric and want to sign up:

Unfortunately I won't be able to participate after all. Things have come up that will require my attention. So regretfully, unavoidable but regretfully nonetheless, I can not spare the time for an expedition of this scale. I'm sure there will be plenty of mages available, so I'm sure I won't be missed. I do want to wish you good luck and may you find fortune halfway of the journey and not at the end. In other words, do come back alive. Ðaeron Stormcloud

// This trip is postponed, since the last active cleric left layonara. The trip will be set in a not so near future when there are clerics at the right levels again.

Never thought it is possible to be short on clerics...rogues, barbarians, rangers...maybe, but clerics? Something is wrong here.
