The Defense of Tir Uphost

[Alrindel]

I was reading the french DAoC forums this afternoon about their version of the Geersha invasion to see if they had discovered anything that we had missed. One thing that jumped out at me was this, a "summary" post of the current situation on Hibernia/Ys:

Koalinth Caverns is as it was before, with the exception of the presence of the Tir Uphost merchant NPCs and a stranger guard that patrols around them

Same as us.

Spraggon Den is under the control of the strangers who are using firbolg slaves to dig

Same as us.

Tir Uphost is invaded by Geershas that repop after being cleaned

Hm, we don't have that.

We put up a pretty good fight at Uphost - cleared several waves of them. As far as I know, things at Moher have returned to normal and the cliff dwellers have returned. So if this information is true, it would seem that we did at least complete one of the possible "goals" of that night - we did prevent the Geersha from establishing a foothold at Tir Uphost... although we have not yet succeeded in getting the inhabitants to return.

As far as I could tell, they didn't discover anything in Spraggon Den that we didn't also find.

Does anyone have any information about the state of Hibernia on the other servers?

Out of interest, how did albion do on those servers?

Just wondering, as the geersha and wors also invaded albions dungeon, whether it was Albion cleaning up the dungeon that stopped the geershas rather than our efforts at wiping them out (not sure on this though, as it appeared they did retreat whilst we were pushing them backfrom Drim Ligen).

Has anyone tried to tell the merchants that Tir Urphost is safe again? (stretching here)

I wondered this exact same thing myself - did the invasion stop when the Albs on Excalibur killed the boss mob in Tepok's? I don't know.

All I was able to find out, really, was that on Ys at least, they don't have any better ideas on how to clean out Spraggon Den than we do. They killed the named mobs, they talked to the slaves, they did everything we did and didn't get any farther with it.

On Avalon Hibernia the geershas also invaded the tower near TU.....and it looks like they are going for the next tower soon so they are not far from TNN

The merchants KC are taken hostage by this Overseer - had anyone tried to kill the overseer and use command words like run, leave, free, break on the merchants. If we can free them perhaps it's prove enough for the King that the strangers are bad.

I was thinking that the Ment RA sever the tether might be useful for the freeing bit but CBH don't have any Ments with this ability so it remains untested AFAIK

The overseer was killed many times on the first night, during the 'interesting' message window bug.
When NPCs that you would expect to be aggressive to you are only hostile, it suggests that you can talk to them.
So far I have talked to the King,Velfaur,Lobias,Brigit and nothing, I cant get into spraggon den to try anything there Im not high enough to get past the guards. Ive not talked to the overseer yet, not keen on him turning aggro and 1 shotting me.

Do you think anything can actually be done at the moment or is new event code needed to advance any further?
