Congrats, Albion

[asarithia]

Congratulations, Albion. You succeeded in taking Thid Faste for once. Thanks! You just gave me another reason to not leave BG1! hehehe!
But just wait... you'll not have thidranki Faste for very long...

And were you helped by the hibs? no way, eh? hehe! Hibs running around mtk all the time killing people who came with the ports! Nice move. Didn't see that coming!

Thanks once again. It's much more fun to re-capture a keep than to defend it!

 

[old.Pepsay]

:O

 

[asarithia]

Oh, and another thing... That group of 4-5 infiltrators who likes to stand around the gate keeper. Know what? You have too hard poison! hehe! Every time I PA'd someone outside the gate I would get that infil group around me, all with high poison (I think)... so when I get back in to the keep I have 4 different effects on me and that's hard to survive! hehe. you're nasty!

I almost passed out when I saw the rams created

Great work by the Infys btw, I almost felt sorry for our Middy counterparts.

Unfortunately my envenom is very poor but my maxed out stealth and items on top allowed me to spot SB's a little earlier so I decided to forget PA's and just unstealth them for the other infys to fall upon.

There was something quite savage about watching 5 or 6 infys surround and kill an unstealthed SB.

Hats off to the SBs though, it takes guts to attempt attacks in those situations.

I assume Xxl decided to gain lvl 25 off mobs in BG as he now conns orange to me at 24. Still, nice to know I can still hand an orange their ass once in a while

 

[Lurkalot]

btw

A big thanks to Briton Knight who organised it all and got those rams sorted, well done mate

 

[jetsetminer]

The rams were mine...

Will certainly join you in thanking Briton for organising and coordinating the raid etc. and thanks to everyone else that joined in.

Nice one guys, we did it!

But just want to set the record straight about the rams all the specialist ram parts and most of the wood was supplied by me with help from the fantastic crafters in my guild - The Dark Phoenix

 

[Simius]

Nice one guys, good to see my high quality swing harnesses did the job I'm going to have to lvl my alt to 20+ now to join in on the fun.

 

[Madonion Slicer]

Nice work guys, shame i logged on about 4hours later and missed it all.

Ah well on the bright side i did not get any rp so aleast my fun will last a little longer.

 

[Gekul]

I missed it, keep takes are a lot of fun asa defending RM as well

I think I may be logged in the keep as well

 

[old.Charonel]

god i came sooo close to killing that ram carrier i was stealthing around apk looking for any people to kill (after having a very good time i may add, killed scores of alb casters and stealthers for once!), when i see this solo platewearer now normally i'd go for something a bit softer but he WAS onhis own, so i started plinking arrows into him, i realised he was going a bit slow, then he started swimming!? i almost wet myself!

so he starts CRAWLING across the moat, i'm stood there on my own dumping my entire quiver into him, almost have him killed (by now i've figured out that he's carrying a ram since nobody else would EVER leave the tk that encumbered , didnt even know a raid was happening ) but then some bastitch cleric heals him, so i think "bugger", and carry on dumping almost 1g of bloody arrows into him, damn cleric heals, he was healing faster than i could hurt him, sooo, the git got away, but was fun for a moment thinking i could REALLY screw someone's well planned raid attempt almost did it too!

 

[jetsetminer]

Which ram carrier?

Not sure which ram carrier you were trying to kill.. but it wasn't us. When we headed for the keep with the rams that were used in the sucessful raid, we had four people carrying the ram parts all grouped together and protected by a larger group of people.

Yes we were all moving very slowing, but I was in the group carrying some ram parts and I don't remember anyone even getting hit, let alone needed to be healed. And there certainly wasn't a lone person carrying the whole ram (which isn't possible due to the weight).

Maybe you saw someone later who was bringing wood to replair / upgrade the doors?

 

[gnafasteshot]

hehe albs took the keep eh? well only out of thidranki for 1 day and u have lost my castle c,mon mids take it back albs have to be the shitest at keep defence get some rams roll in roll em up and roll em out again and replace that stinky banner with a nice blue hammer, remember its thidranki FASTE a middie castle
and we have squatters in 1 of my resisdences
and 1 is not amused

 

[old.FIN]

Ok, as long as we have the keep, keep the action going...

mids camped the TK, albs came to fight a lot, but when i 1st entered there, albs killed the thidranki action by camping TK, because mids will stay away.....so keep the action around the keep, its more fun anyway, TK camping Sucks, specially when no incs

 

[Quinn]

" hehe albs took the keep eh? well only out of thidranki for 1 day and u have lost my castle"

Well, to be fair they did outnumber us three to one.

Congrats to the Albs. Especially the infiltrator kill-gang that lurked outside and turned us into pincushions whenever we ported out.

And why are cabbies an endangered species? You guys and your DOTs are sooooo aggravating.

 

[Lurkalot]

btw, when we broke the second door down and rushed in, was that you Asarithia I saw running past us out of the keep.

I hope you made it out ok

 

[asarithia]

"There was something quite savage about watching 5 or 6 infys surround and kill an unstealthed SB."

I guess that was me... hehe! I thought out a tactic to take some at the keep gate out without letting the infil army get me... too bad I thought that tactic out a couple of minutes too late! I'm not going to post it here, as I know you, the infil army will do the same against us when we try to retake thid faste!

"Hats off to the SBs though, it takes guts to attempt attacks in those situations."
Thanks, we really tried... And when I figured out that you (the infils) were not leaving the gate keeper alone I thought is was fun to kill the scouts you had. but then I thought of a problem.. "How do I get inside the keep again!?!" simple, I thought. I'll just run out, spot an infil, attack him so he got unstealthed and then say "enter". Of course I got 6 infils on me before the lazy gatekeeper could save my sorry little life. but I killed one every time I exited the keep, and got killed every time. so it evens out.
I need better poison!

"btw, when we broke the second door down and rushed in, was that you Asarithia I saw running past us out of the keep.

Whoa! I went to the lord when the door was at 5%! I don't leave the sinking ship like that! My attempt to PA the first to come to the lord wasn't that brilliant tho. But I got some albs down at the lord I think. So I think you're hallucinating, mr. Lurkalot...

 

[old.Charonel]

a lone wood carrier sounds more likely, at the time i thought you'd have to be stupid to send ram parts (no i didnt mean someone carrying a whole ram, i know how heavy those bloody things are) on a lone person, even someon wearing plate, but since at the time i really couldnt figure on any other reason for him being so encumbered i just HAD to shoot him

i guess the only thing that made me consider the lone, solo, on his own ram carrier a possibility was that i was in the albion area, over there any kind of stupidity is possible! :whip:

 

[-baralis-]

acctually i did carry all parts of the 1st ram except the wood and i was infront of the main army at 1st but dont remember being shot...

oh thanks to all who came and big thanks to jetsetminer for the ram eledrigan for taking the hits coz they thought u were using the ram :-D and to the friar who was in our group, sorry i cant remember ur name m8.and edrillian for just helping whereever he could

Didn't have time to check the name, but I saw a female norse run by me, I was going to PA them, but my wife was watching and told me not to be so mean.

Didn't think that one of the SB's who ran the guantlet at the gate would run for it.

Hope you got a kill or 2 in the lords room, it's the least anyone deserves for sticking around

 

[opoc]

Hey Briton sorry for my little outburst last night, hope no hard feelings

Just it was a bad night for me (not related to the game) Then got left for dead by 25+ albs

It is nice to rezz your healers though becuase in turn, they will rezz you

 

[asarithia]

Nah, you can have it. I don't want it anymore. why do you think I let you lot take it in the first place?

lol

 

[bister]

Albs have keep =

1. Less Mid zerging around Alb PK, thus less RPs for Albs most skilled and feared player... ehm... Master Wizard...
2. More unsuspecting Little red riding hoods walking alone through the forest to see grandma the keep lord.
3. An opportunity to retake the keep.

= Essentially a good thing

 

[Lurkalot]

Dont get me wrong, it's nice to have the keep, but much more fun taking it
