Well, that's done. No sooner did I unidle from posting this last time than
three, countem, three pallys showed up, with an enchantress and someone
even popped in to BO us into invin..insensi.. condition.. for the battle.
We swarmed out of the portal and up to the right, surrounding diablo, if
memory serves me right, just a little south of Wirt's dirt pile. I,
sensible as always, hid behind the nearest building, and just fireballed
my guts out at anything that came near, feeding potions to my merc, the
trusty Klaatu, while the three pallys did all the real work. Pretty soon
that sound...
I may have em switched, but i am pretty sure the one down south of town,
where the old drunk used to hang out, was Mephy.. It was tall, and moved
around alot, like a tasmanian devil, dust or smoke oozing out its pores..
This time I almost died again, trying to keep the merc alive, so I was
looking at my shoes when the three pallys did it again.. whack!! Whack!!
And spooky twilight zone noise.. and it was melting on the turf.
It was like an old John Wayne flick with Leo Carrillo riding shotgun.. It
made up for the dozen green and red deaths I had suffered all day long!!
The bunch of green crosses on the map (By this time I was so crosseyed I
could not discern names) oozed across the bottom of the tristram scenery
and back up to the portal location and due west.. there, we found Baal.
Both of him. Surrounded by lords of ... you know.. the hurty kind.
Twins, that's how I knew it was Baal.. Kept shooting the wrong one, as per
usual, while Chill-Bill, Tae-in-disguise and Carlito-Cool did a number on
the right one.. Snick, Slash, bash.. Somebody named GP-(insert name here)
zoomed by me a few times *crash* *sparkle*.
The glint of gold covered the ground, a suspiciously explosive looking
large rune and lil speckly things with jewels in em. I grabbed one and ran
for the portal, expecting to get killed by one last skelly mage.
Took me half an hour to come down, idling on agdhell, while the gang
cooked up a scheme for dividing the spoils. Everybody picked a
char-type... and when they were all agreed, I made a pass at Cain and
conned him into a free id-ship on the charm. It was Necro flavored, and
in a borrowed pally disguise, Tae had chosen that .. so welcome back, and
conga rats to the lost prodigal child... end of story (spotty report).
Thanks to all who logged on, off, and on again.. teamwork paid off.
I swear I saw Pizza dude in there somewhere, but at this point, brain fog
had set in. I know there was a Jerry incarnation there, in several forms,
over the day, but I lost track after the assassin. There were Jabbers to
the left, Jabbers to the right.. I think I counted a sorc, an assassin and
at the end a Pally. There was a Dark-sorceress and a Dark-assassin...
Keeping track of you all is enough to dizzy anyone. I would love to hear
from everybody who did try, and those who were in at the end too. I
calculate something close to 5 hours, total.. anybody confirm that?
Happy Ladder, and see you in act one tomorrowish.
