Heya all
I just wanted to say how proud I am to be a part of albion after tonights action at Dun Bolg. The battler was epic, somthing akin to 'Helms Deep' in lord of the rings heres my short story of it accompanied by screenies:
I logged on just as the first guardspam started, and went to defend the keep, it started at 50ish enemies and rose to a peak of 70 when the inner door fell.
The few albs who had managed to sneak into the inner keep gathered in the lord room and awaited the hibs, this was at 11:03.

The hibs reached the lord room and we managed to halt thier first attack, with only a couple killed on either side.

Then they rushed us again and we struggled, the fighting was intense, I almost got killed by some RR6 luri coming into melee, but we finally pushed them back out of the lord room. this was at 11:06.

The fighting abated abit after this attack, we thought we'd got the hibs on the run but then a few minutes later they attacked with just as much ferocity as before, charging into the lord room, the losses on both sides where nasty, they pushed us back to the opposite side of the room, I kept to my corner and tried to take them down as quickly as possible, my fellow albs sticking to the middle of the room to keep the lord protected. I got caught up in the fight and yelled 'Albion!!!', just as they got close in, thinking this was the last moment of the fight, but seemingly on the edge of defeat we sprung back and pushed them out of the lord room and down into the hall below. The hib numbers had fallen from 70 to 34.

It was then that a few re-enforcements arrived, I met a guild mate in teh lord room and we began to get orginised in our defence. Things were looking up.

Then the unexpected happened. The keep-lord had charged to the front and was killed, just as we thought we had broken the back of the assault, the keep was taken by the enemy. The time was now 11:24, we had held out for 20 minutes.

We were on the roof of the keep dis-orginised from the loss of the keep and the hibs pressed the attack, thinking we where defeated, but we held firm yet again.

Day passed into night and still the hibs persisted in thier attacks, we began to show signs of fatigue.

The hibs rushed again with all thier might, running up through our people on the stairs and onto the roof, the fighting was fierce again as we tried to stop the hibs getting into PBAoE range.

The hibs where pushed back again, this time they suffered huge losses.
http://onfinite.com/libraries/277063/24b.jpg
Then they came again, running into our people and we were completely overwhelmed, as the last of us where being wiped the time was 11:35, we'd held for 30 minutes against a huge hib force.

This was the best fight I've had in ages, and I've never been so proud to be part of albion as tonight /cheer to all you people who where there tonight, it was great
and /salute to the hibs, it was a real good fight
