Lookit that muscly butt! Limbus 26th May 2007

With Mr. Grunts (Kamos) busy digging holes for himself and Lenor all at sea without a train (so she was waaaay late), it's fallen on me to provide commentory on this weeks misadventures in limbo-land.

Turn-out was even worse than usual:
Marzanna NIN, Solonuke DRK, Dutrance THF, Ronin BST (yes BST in limbus!), Gruive BLU, Jojax RDM and I was BLM.

Being the plucky (or foolhardy) group that we are, we decided that we had a perfect setup for Apollyon NW.

Yes Apollyon NW with mini-Fafnir and mini-King Behemoth.

The first floor went pretty well... except when Marzanna got eaten for 800+ damage by one of the pillows. We managed to dispose of Pluto as well (who the heck comes with names for these mobs).

This a cute Pluto. The Pluto we found in NW Apollyon does not look anything like this.

The second floor consisted of rams which were relativlely straightforward, but we decided to avoid the NM and skipped to the third floor. Conscious of time, we merely aimed to get to the time chests on each floor and cleared only the mobs that were guarding the time and restore chests.

Progress was good and steady up to this point. Then problems arose on the fourth floor. In our eagerness to get up to the final floor as quickly as possible, we somehow managed to wave a red flag in front of mini-fafnir in our attempt to get the last time chest.

Knowing we were undermanned for playing with this big 'ol dragon we beat feet and ran for the portal.

We all made it except for Marzanna, who ate terror 10" from the portal and promptly got squished, with no RR up either as the wyrms had dispelled it previously.

That left six of us BLU, BST, THF, DRK, RDM, BLM to clear the last floor of its 3 Behemoths and 1 King Behemoth. Notice the high quality of tanks we have left here...

The behemoths we managed to take out by manaburning with gravity with the melee running and whacking, but it did take time. Then came Kaiser Behemoth.

I suck at taking screenies, but the first comment Dutrance said was...

"Look at that muscly ass! He must work out or something!"


I suck at taking screenies. You can vaguely see a muscly butted King Behemoth waaaay up the back there.

Edit: Dutrance kindly supplied us with a better view. Depending on your personal inclinations this picture may not be work safe...



We sort of knew the tactics... the person with hate runs around the big hole in the centre while the others nuke and melee him, especially while he stands still for meteor. We started out ok, but then we had a few confused moments.

4/6 members of the party promptly ate meteor and fell over, leaving Ronin to kite him with his pink BST charmy hearts. Fortunately a few of us still had RR up, recovered, and we spent the rest of the time wearing him down, but time ran out and he still had half HP left when we got kicked out.

Drops for the night: Benedict Yarn, 40 beastcoins - not bad considering we were more scouting than going for the win.
