I really needed a vigor book. It’s the only way I can get 25/100 strength shifted at my level. It was real important to me. I don’t group much… maybe that’s why I don’t die much hehe. Anyways, I soloed Mandiblaton as Phoenix. Took 2 and a bit nightmares so I guess it took me 70mins plus. Then I had to sit around for another hour while he re-popped.
I’m not sure about his pop rate, but when he came back he surprisingly had the book.
Now I need my beauty sleep… because it’s Monday, and gotta get up early for work. Call goes out on gossip… no one will help. So I wallow in self pity for a bit. Then a clan member switches to help me.
Just as we are killing a mob for a mare corpse… my internet flashes out… it never does this! For the next 10mins I still unbelieving at my router setup watching LCP fail every time it connects. I can’t believe it…
I walk out of my room, and come back in a few minutes later, and it’s reconnected. I re-enter game and Virus and Sirrico (who had joined from the start) are still waiting to help. Then another clan member switches and Tisna joins the party.
So we have a small warrior - Sirrico, a necro - Tisna, a thief Virus and a me. Now Mandiblaton tends to eat 1000hp in 3 rounds through -11 sanc. It was wasteful to heal tank, when he would be dead in 2 rounds flat. So I shifted, used my hp as a meat shield, then the others came in healing self and blasting. After 5 fairly epic runs and about 3 deaths… we got him!
It’s now 12.30am the next day, hehe… I trundle off to BH where the only peri marked happens to be the one that I need at WEST GATE…

Big thanks to clannies, Virus, Tisna and Sirrico. There was nothing in it really for them, but it was important to me and they helped for what turned out to be about an hour.
The End
