Hell yeah... took a mere 3-4 hours but our first ram was bugged then needed a new one because when it got working it broke.... then the ram controller messed up his port amulet which took another 15 mins.
Second attempt was enough, first one we had no ram :D

EDIT:
Hehe, forgetting that mids own the keep I logged in to see this:
Great... :D

But the night ended in a much better way:
For Albion! :)

Looking at the screenshot, did hellsvip lead that little raid there?
If so I want all credit, as I said he couldnt control such a large group of people and would never be able to re-take the keep, especially not tonight...

missing, yes he did pretty much. Me must thank Usor for arranging rams though... without them no chance. One point we had to hold the mids/guards off for an hour at least due to ram problems...

TIhiihih.... hihih... hih... glad I only died one single time during the raid. Gained 46 rp's too, which leaves me at 243.
Was so funny to find mids in the tower of the keep... just got stampeded over.

Impressive, not many know but we tried a similar thing in Murd at about 3:30pm, had a good 25 people, no middies in Murd at all. Shouldnt have been too complicated...
It appears there are dumber people than trolls... Was a great shame, i actually thought we may have a chance. Didnt even get through to murd, people just randomly ran in random directions, then others followed and soon there was just a few peopel standing there with ram parts.

<wave> thats me in piccy one :) (not Kerram But my Huntress :) )

Was a bit surprised to See an albion in courtyard , Did not manage to get a hit on you as the guards made short work of you

Not to degrade your victory but for the most part of your raid you were facing 4-5 people with no healer :) and I am only L20 too :)

The keep must be a mess as we ripped out anything that could be thrown or dropped on you , Stairs, Dead guards, tables, doors chairs and roof tiles.

I even had to start getting shot so i had arrows to fire back at the besiegers :)

was great fun , was expecting it to not take as long as it did
Got lots of kills and assists but very little rps as you had died many times

I even took some shots at you Lothar :)

We knew we were fighting a lost cause but made you pay for every Inch :) and once the last door was on its last legs we did the thing any brave mid would do go defend the lord and take some hits for him :)

took you ages to kill me in tower got 8-10 shots off into the backs of you silly tin cans before you came to kill me :)

I 'forgot' to put the battlegrounds medallion on on purpose, so the battle would last longer.

Honest!

Ah, typical that I gave up and went to bed just before the fun started!
Bah!
Well, no worries - we will get that keep back in a jiff :p

Heheh... you were right it would seem :)
Now do you hibs have the balls to attack the keep? Maybe too little people to gather 25+ hibs?

Name of your huntress? If you say Fafne I will personally hunt you down on the basis of you killing me that one freaking time! It seemed that finally a decent shot was fired at me doing a whopping ~2xx damage. Are you this Fafne? If not there was some weirdo hitting me for ~13 damage per arrow, I mean wtf? Hehe... the Viking archers did approx. ~50 per hit.
You know I could've tried to run on the battlements and jump of the side when I logged in (safe way down battlements to outside and lose no HP)
Occasionally I recall larger mid troops, especially on our first failed attack. Did we take so long to regroup/get rams that you people mostly left?! Obviously if we try it once we try again, hehe.
I remember when the hibs arrived in 10-15 in number and basically got run over by albs instantly because at that time we were waiting for a third (hopefully not bugged) ram and really had nothing to except kill guards pops and any other resistance. So 30+ albs just went and stampeded right over the hibs, hehe.
Sure was funny to find mids in the tower, but really as you pointed out when that last ram arrived with the second door at ½ hp the keep was basically ours :)

Erm No i am not Fafne :)
And i do not think i hit anyone for 15 I do about 90-140 with normal shot . with 20+3 in bow (only L20 Huntress) i do not see how i could do 15 hps with a Yellow con 99% qua 7.1dps enchanted bow firing Footed flight Broadheads..... Unless it was a game error or something...

Just like to say A big thankyou To Hellsvip for keeping the raid so organised, Also To all the people who responded to the call of arms.

Everyone played an important part and made it a great evening, The patience shown was remarkable due to bugged rams, missed ports and so on heh.

Alas I now need to level up for the next BG's but it was a great feeling to leave Thidranki on such a positive note :D

Once again Thankyou all that participated and also Thankyou to the higher levels who provided me with an insight on how and what was needed to do this successfully.

Lastly Thanks to Usor for providing the tools needed to break those door's.

Yes, thank you to Hellsvip and Usor/Roalith.

Of all the nights i choose to go out and get level 25 you all decide to take the keep back... well I just dont know what to say...

Well done anyway, tho it wouldnt have taken nearly as long with me there... Its sounds like you did Albion proud.

Lothar currently at 349 Rp's but was told the limit was 350 for the BG, So I don't see the point of returning for one kill though might be fun to hit 25 there :p

Hmm, but you can still enter at L3 and L4 is at 400 rp... weird how it would cut off at 350 :)
A list someone posted had RR1 L4 @ 400 rp... soooo...
Why not go test? Who knows :)

ahh its good to see the right flags flying around the keep...

just had to give 'realm' a mention for the last ram we had it think she funded it but great work everyone...

randal...
 
S

Guest
Well Realm is also a L50 cleric so I doubt the funding needed for a ram to bang down the doors of a Thidranki keep is that much of a bother, but thanks to him anywayz.
The flags sure look nice and the guards look a lot better too now, you could almost think they use deo.

Finally uploaded it!

Well, I thought I'd give my boys some credit aswell.
The welcoming commitee at the Midgard bridge.
6 infs were there, we were with a group of 8, but 2 were out there scouting..
We had great fun and apart from 1-shotting my first caster I loved the "run up the battlements and take out the archers" thing. <I'll upload the pic of 4 shadows guarding the bridge asap>

It was great fun, and offcourse Usor <sighs> I could whack him with a shodstaff when he said he forgot the neklace... yet laughed myself silly about it after the raid. <grins>
All in all a great succes... we even spotted some Hibs trying to kill us at 1 moment.. o_O

I think Realm's swords are hard to beat in coolness :D

Heehee Realm obviously has no feel for fashion...
Those 2 swords look horrible with her clothes, not to mention the big red cape on her back.. a real thumbs down for that one <grins>

Offcourse, helpfull as I am, I will take those sswords from you and hand them over to the right authorities.
