The Clan Lord Sentinel

Generally my aim with invasions is to present a challenge just a little beyond what I think the players online at the time can manage. Invariably with some new arrivals and alts coming out of the closet you guys kick my tail feathers.



I'm tempted to do a one day of real insanity. I would leave town alone so anyone wanting to avoid the mess would have a fair chance to do so. Obviously I could just whip up 1,000,000 level Knob Bonks but where's the fun in that?



I'm talking about something the far side of reasonable in which I actively try to beat you rather than entertain. I lay out an objective, perhaps something simple like a capture the flag objective, a time, a place etc and give a few weeks notice and we go at it.



Maybe KI? You all start on South Beach and you have to make it to North Beach and back to South Beach with the prize. Kiril Drakesblood scale at a minimum. Server straining waves of foes. I'll do my best to cater for all levels.



We'll tie it in IC somehow perhaps but let's be clear that this is fundamentally an OOC challenge. We'd start on a Saturday morning and you'd have until midnight to meet the challenge.



What is the interest level? Are we talking 50 players involved or 200?



Give me an idea how many people want to try and some ideas of where would be fun to do it.

You can count me in.



Ki would definitely be the far side of reasonable what with having to deal with waves of uber lyfe and the attendant bisease my only qualm is that its been done with the lets hunt down Rowl trip.



How does noth strike you? you could tie it in with the whole qual/dew/dark bubbling story unless thats still actually being worked on by another GM

Something like this would be awsome. Please plan far in advance so I can make sure my wife and kids have something to do while I clan all day.

Sounds like fun.

Sounds really fun. Would this be limited to only your areas or other GM's areas as well?



KI is a good choice for this but as Mjollnir said it's been done before there. Doesn't mean you couldn't use KI again though.



Anything to do with Orga is always a good choice because they occupy a large portion of our island and they are our biggest land-based threat. However, I don't know how FH GM might feel about this or if it would interfere with the current quest/storyline out there which is far from done apparently.



Perhaps the Eastern Passes to the Greymry chief might work? You could involve Myrs, various Wendecka, various Noids, and Sasquatch. Maybe the Myrs could be the orchestrators of the whole uprising and it all would start with the kidnapping of Vagile, who they think is our leader?



They drag her to the Myr Chief who then repeatedly (through Vagile's confiscated sunstone) demands that we vacate the island or she will be put to death.



In order to defeat this threat we'd have to fight our way through the outer defenses (starting at the edges of the passes) all the way to the Myr Chief himself!



Anyways, something along those lines would be fun.

I think it's an awesome idea (though unfortunately I can't clan on Saturdays). One heads up though - if you want to cater to all levels, KI isn't a good place. Most lower level folk don't have catsbane necklaces.

Great idea, id be in for it. With enough notice though like the Kiriel stuff so i can book some time out from the OOC stuff, ie not just suddenly happening (i miss 95% of invasions )



I agree not KI, i dont think it has enough variety of critters to allow people of all levels to play along, whilst Orgas do have all levels that all can hit, from warriors to hatreds. KI pretty hard as you know its not for lower levels.



Still count me in.

Pengy said he'd do his best to cater to all levels, but should his KI island idea be shot down so quickly? Consider his idea: a day of real insanityónot the usual sort of enemy activity.



Pengy will actively work to defeat us. This will be a balancing act between wiping characters out in waves and seeing Puddleby's foes mowed down in short order. If it's going to be insane, just how much can he cater towards low level folks? This doesn't mean low level folks should forget about the challenge; they have an opportunity to show some spirit and can provide support.



We don't even know what's in store for us yet, and we're waffling.



Let's watch Pengy take the gloves off. Let's show no fear and give no quarter. Let's kick every square inch of his well padded GM ass. All of us.

Bring it on. Just give me enough warning I can put on my shit kickers.

If its going to be on Ki you dont need a catsbane necklace, the odds are if you wear one it'll break so you may as well not wear one and we can organise some more egg runs like did after the Rowl encounter.

(well i say we i mean we get Talin to do it :p )



My only objection to Ki is that we did it already when fighting Rowl, there are only 3 real choices for something this large scale,



Puddleby Island

Ki

Noth



all the other islands are too small (with the possible exception of Di)

(Actually Di might be a good place to hold this, its under hunted so wouldnt be in anybodys way and anything could have been breeding in there since it was last really explored)

Can the next healerer circle test be to fix Yor's head because it is apparently broken?

Heyas!



Love it! It's high time the Orga became concerned with exiles push towards their stronghold! Perhap in a vain attempt the Orga form a temporary alliance whith the Grymyrs to push back the exiles to the sea! Oh and on the exiles side it's high time we rescued Katpus and recover our katapult!.....No word from Katpus in so long she's likely to be in the hands of the Orga!



Free Katpus!

For Puddleby!



CHAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGE!

that's a great idea! I'm all for it.

DI would be interesting id wager most of us never set foot on it since we were 2 ï be fin to try fight through that checking my web maps.



Slyph, KI, i dont really care, but most of the critters on there 2 ï people aint goona hit well if at all, it will be mightly frustrating to be involved and not be able to hit. But if Pengy is going to introduce some low level stuff, (junk to 4 ï +) then cool, i think all levels should be able to feel part of it, and KI as it stands aint for anyone below 4 ï really

To me it would come down to better understanding the ground rules. Mortals can not win against gods that use any means at their disposal.



Their are many other ways besides 1,000,000 level knob Bonks to make a challenge impossible for mortals against gods.



I think most exiles are up for good challenges. I would also say that early advance could be more on the scale of months than a few days or even a week. Just organizing a group that I would want to attempt working this with alone could take a month. If exiles are real smart and serious about going after your challange it would take probably even longer for multiple groups to figure out how to actually tackel something like this cooperativly.
