/salute to the albs
this morning , well about lunchtime actually me and my buddy whitelighter, dwarven healer, used my skald speed buff to check caledon. no albs WHATSOEVER. we thought, strange....but oh well, lets go play our alts.
tonight, i log on at 11pm, and low and behold, 40 albs assaulting the keep, with a ram. 1st door down, 2nd door down to 75% ram put up, suicide to go near it with all those alb casters.
plan a) go fetch pieces for a catapult - plan fails cos we dont have all pieces, mis advised by recipe.
plan b) all tanks jump out over back wall, rest, and make a massed counter attack, unfortunately all tanks amounted to about 12. the dirty dozen was swiftly wasted.
planc c) (by now the second door was on 5%) fall back to the lord's room, and make a final stand. did you albs think we had left? or run......either way, i have to say, that was the greatest nights RvR fun i have ever had, absolute slaughter on the stairs, as swords clanged against hammers, our healers mezzed and healed for all they were worth, the zerkers, went vendo.....the thanes bolted, DDs flying everywhere.
an amazing battel......when General Ferlash (thats me) spots that the alb army's tanks are all dead, "kill the rezzers! down the stairs!" and thats what we did, trolls and norsemen, kobolds and dwarves ripping into the soft robed casters, and the archers run or crumpled.smash the ram down, time to celebrate.
Victory! the albion army, about 40 (yes we counted) defeated by a middie defending force of 15. (obviously big grats to our jarls and archers who scored huge constant damage).
15 mins later albs come back, on their next port, fewer this time, only to run into celebrating middies, outside the fort door, and a rather nasty guard pop.
that was the end of the planned albion raid.
like i say, me and my troops, heroes every1 of them.......had one of the best nights of RvR we have ever had.
albions, thanks for the realm points, i salute you for the huge and well organised raid (huge in terms of BG). this is what this game is all about.
so, grats to........in no particular order (sorry if i forget some1) the defenders of caledon keep.

and a handful more, i forget ur names.
hope you didnt get too bored of me shouting at you, it was a glorious, glorious defence. dear albs we have spent as much gold as we had and the doors are repaired and upgraded quite significantly.
please reply in good humour, this is not a flame, because i thank the albions, without them i/we would not have had such a great nights RvR.
