The World of Avlis

Forgive the gloat..but on my third attempt, over the course of a year and a half, I finally kicked that bastards butt, despite him totally ignoring the gentlemans agreement and downing 17 heal potions! One of my long time Avlis ambitions finally achieved...all thats left now is...

*cackles*

soloing the Orc Caves?

No.

No..but if anyone else has some long held goals they'd like to share it might be interesting. The Pit Lord captured my imagination because he kicked my butt a few times in some truly epic fights. I have some other long term goals, but they're not related to kicking the crap out of large beasties.

Long term goal? Getting one of my characters past level 8

My longterm goal is to kill Quicksilver with Samwir!

Since I made a double post I'll add Fox to my list

Dont forget the underwear shop

*sends orders to High Command to make Rangermaster Fox run around TNanshi a few times with a backpack full of rocks on his back*

I believe there is a long queue, but I'll do my best to hang around long enough for you to have a decent stab at it!

He's a rangermaster?

I don't think we'll ever know for sure...

Long term goals? the Orc Caves... those damn Orc Caves...

Haven't been to them since the TNanshi army raided them some years ago..must pay another visit sometime soon...Have they gotten harder or easier? The revamped LRC is also on my tourist list, as thats been out of bounds to me for the last 2 years...I only ever peeked in there once before anyway, and was made a pincushion by the jolly old death archers.

*scene a Lord of the Pit laying on a very large slab of grantite*

*Little gnome wizard type moving around him, body pieces and parts being seen thrown away, and parts being taken from various bags and large buckets.*

"There that is that last of the upgrades" *wipes his brow with bloody hands.

*The gnome wizard turns, smiles and says*

"Y'all come back ya hear"

*Sounds of manical laughter is heard echoing around the caves*

I really want to pwn those Frost Giants in Deglos. You know, the little area where you end up outside and suddenly are surrounded by half a dozen frost giants? Someday, when my character is level 30, like 3 years from now, I'm so going to own those giants.

I've only been twice because it is so dangerous and it takes a long time to get there but on the second trip I was with a very capable group and we got slaughtered on the second level. My SR buffs are so high the Shaman pose no problems but melee... ugh.. the melee. Even Thorfinn was having difficulty hitting them on the second level so I was resorting to Divine Power which doesn't last that long. Then Thorfinn dropped and I knew I was in trouble. Veterans and Brawlers surrounded me and tore us to shreds.

I love the place for its sheer nastiness... if a party of Epics get slaughtered so easily you know it's bad. The Orc Caves are kind of the final frontier for Celedor. The only other non DM spawn that I can recall that is similarly scary are Dranuhl's High Guards.

Want me to invite General Quicksilver to our next trip to the Caves?

The Valley of Ice?

Drahnuls High Guards are indeed very nasty, went up against a pair of them the other week and only just beat them. Still trying to figure out what their weakness is, if they have one. I wouldn't mind a trip to the orc caves, but I've no idea when I'll get the time. Fun place though..is it the toughest dungeon on Avlis?

Been to Orc cave once. Nasty place. With 10~13 Epics and near epic we narrowly made it to bottom and back. Some had to be raised 6 times and I used about 50 Elixirs of Heavenly Healing. I was one of lower lvl with lvl 19 at the time.

I'd have to vote yes. Admittedly, I haven't been very far into the new LRC yet, and some say the 'Boss' NPC's there are flat-out deadly. The two times I've been there, the big guys had already been killed.

Congrats on the Lord of the Pit! That is one place where you don't want to die while soloing! Been there, done that. Miserable Naked Mile(s)!

I suspect they can be turned quite easliy

And where are these Orc Caves I keep hearing so much about

So many places in Avlis I just haven't been, e.g. Rift Temple, because I usually have to log off before we get anywhere

Personally, I'd like to give those cheating, HiPSing Salt Clan folk a good smacking ... they deserve it!

My main has a small goal, noble in nature..


TO RULE ALL OF AVLIS

But that will be a while from now..

I tend to judge the npc monsters difficulty based upon whether or not I can hit them. With a high level pure fighter that is fully buffed (this just means he has a decent AB), if he has a hard time hitting something or can't at all, then I know its going to be a good fight.. or a slaughter.

Another good judge is the damage dealt. If I hit a monster for 30-40 hp shots, but he's returning 100+ shots... then.. well.. ouch.

LRC is a good place especially the main npc bosses. I'd still have to vote the Orc Caves as one of the toughest overall places I've been. Everything there is nasty and hits hard. I'd also have to vote "The Deep" as another difficult place.. not totally because of the difficulty factor (although it is difficult), but for the wear-you-down factor and the sheer endurance you need for it. I mean, with a party of 12, we were in there for almost 6 straight hours and no sense of the bottom whatsoever.

Oh that sounds like fun, do you need a henchman? My main would be more than willing. of course if you got too powerful he might also stick an arrow between your eyes

Damnit, server issue accidental double-post.

I don't have a high enough count to be a meta-poster so don't even accuse me of it
