Middies were attacking surs 2nite. DoA was afraid of their keep and called all arms to defend sursbrooke and renaris. Since we (AoV) are alliance m8's of DoA and we also bennefit from the extras we get from DoA's keep we were called 2. By the time all forces were at sauvage Sotl killed the mid army. At that point we thought that since we're here why not take a keep?
Seems logical, the only thing is no one of us had any expierence leading a keep raid and we had never worked together. But expierence cant be retreived by doing nothing so off we went. Dun crauchon seems a easy target, most of us had done a keepraid there and its close to the PK. Brought ram and trebuchet stuff with us and plannend an attack while we were walking to DC. The plan would simply be:
pull guards, mezz/root, kill, ram on doors and tanks on doors, few tanks and casters will take walls and repops, run to lord when were inside, kill the lord, claim the keep, repair doors, build trebuchet and wait for middies to arrive.
Easy and efficient. We only missed one thing. No middie let alone hibbie encounter was beeing calculated. But of we went, when we near sauvage we saw a grp of hibbies, (hibbies? yes i know they're quiet rare in emain) We thought that it was only a smal force so we ran over them. a few fled to DC. Still no problem for us because what can a few hibbies do against our force. (no lvl 50's btw) Except DoA and AoV a few other were there too. Ariving at DC i see a massive force of hibbies stand before the keep. Still think no problem, have seen the middies done it dozen time, pull guards then charge. so we pulled guards forgetting one thing, hibbies can mez like hell. guards came in single file resisting our mezzes and rootes (or some stupid pally broke it with a new chant of him or something, i dont know, they just came rushing le file resisting our mezzes and rootes (or some stupid pally broke it with a new chant of him or something, i dont know, they just came rushing in) While we were busy killing the guards a second wave guards come rushing in and hibbies made a very smart move, ae mezz. most of us were still standing pretty close 2 eachother because of the guard killing but stood far enough from eachother to be able to help eachother with the guards. By the time the guards were dead was the majority of our forces dead 2, the few that survived backed up so the could rez us, all of the sudden middies came rushing in killing us from the back and no alb was left alive...
Ok, maybe we didnt even get to the keep but i had good fun and learned a few new things for next raid
