True Argo Stories - What's Yours?

[Aspenor]

One time....

Everyone's favorite aussie (Nick) serenaded a full raid party in the Shroud with a dazzling rendition of "I'm So Pretty."

What's your story?

[totmacher]

one of my favorites was in permadeath, we were doing stk hard and the party was wiping or about to wipe... (we were all level 6) I was kiting the giant around and our poor rogue had died of getting critically squished. i had a reservoir of pots and was kiting aroudn the giant but it was just a matter of time. i screamed something stupid in the mic to the cleric like go get to the choppa (recall out) and she recalled and i died

but i've never felt a noble moment in mmos until then, it was really an experience

oh and beating shroud for the first time, that was fun too

When I was bringing up my Human Wizzy I joined a WW Pug. I was level 2 I believe at the time. Anyway we were in part 3 and the group got stupid and split up. Everybody died but me. I was low on sp but I grabbed the stones and went to the blue side. I ran up took out the 2 casters up top pulled the lever and jumped down. Went down towards the next MOB where the shrine is (fortunately the named didn't pop) I had enough sp for one hypno which I dropped on the MOB and ran for the shrine room. One Kobold broke as I was opening the door and followed me in. He killed me just as I got in but the rest of the party was able to rez and I saved the day. Not bad for a little Wizzy.

In one of our very first SC runs our Wizzie had a tough time with the mephits. So, when we came to the last portal he decides to "sit this one out". He /sit well away from the action and went afk. We activate the portal and all watch in amazement as one mephit makes it's way in slow motion to where the poor wizzie is sitting, and promptly flammed his arse to ashes.

Moments like that are just special.

I was running a Velah *Hard* attempt with a decent group of players, but our "chosen tank" didn't seem to be as keen on what to do and panicked or couldn't avoid taking damage. We sent him to second base to basically take out the elementals and then prep that pillar -- Hawksendoom and a few ranged fighters prepped the first and third. Well, the tank we sent died out on second base (this was the second attempt) and everyone hesitated. We'd wasted about 20 minutes trying to prep the pillars, so I did something relatively (incredibly) stupid for a guy that's never ran the bases on any character (and with my wizard, probably a suicide run normally).

I ran them.

And then I got to second base to grab his soulstone so Castar could rez the fella and give another chance, but in a brief moment of pure immaculate insight, a "*** notion" came into my head and I cast mass suggestion on the group of 2nd Base Elementals. Suddenly the Second Base's Pillar crackled with energy and I couldn't yell fast enough, "OMG TAKE OUT FIRST AND THIRD!!!"

And that is how we got to Velah. The tank again proved to not know what he was doing, but between myself & Castar we kept him alive to kill her (4 rezes total). The sad aside was Hawksendoom being blown off the edge. The last thing we heard was, "Hey take care and good luck, you Groovy Cats."

Hawksendoom has left your party.

Taken from the Journal of one of Stormreach's more evil characters:

Phaere looked with disdain at the cleric next to her. She'd been lured into a scheme to gain the assistance of the High Priest of Vol. Lady Vol had asked her assistance in thwarting the Black Abbot's foul schemes to achieve god-hood. The Lady of Undeath had promised Phaere her heart's desire--power. The forces of the Emerald Claw needed the High Priest's help. Unfortunately he'd been turned into a vampire. Also unfortunately the cleric next her just would not shut up. He went on and on about his skillful marketplace ministry that lined his pockets at the expense of others. Phaere did not mind his taking advantange of people--she was not so naive to really belive in good or evil, just power and those who have the strength of will to wield it. However, his lack of self discipline and his inclination toward self-aggrandizement grated on her sense of order.

Then, a miracle occurred. Deep in the depths the party had paused at a shrine just before the imminent confrontation with the high priest. The other cleric asked for a ddoor so he could return to the chamber beneath the black dragon to another shrine. Phaere arched her eyebrow, glanced toward her most valued slave, Xavros the sorcerer, smiled evily, and nodded her head. The dimensional door appeared and the cleric stepped through. Phaere laughed to herself as the hapless cleric's cursing echoed down the hallways. For, unbeknownst to the annoying one, the dimensional door returned him to the very entrance to dungeon...where he was confronted by an impenetrable black wall.

After exchanging high fives, the party journyed onward....

During a Dragon Raid Alorious decides to range the dragon, so we have to start the whole thing over again. He claims that he didn't do it on purpose...but we all knew better. Then, he decides to get serious and we get to the dragon again, only he falls off the ledge this time (not on purpose). He then says a few choice words and then DCs...it was priceless...

[Wizzly_Bear]

During a von 5 run, someone cast grease on me while I was taking care of one of the levers in the lava pit. I failed my save and fell in the lava, but lived thanks to mistakenly leaving quicken turned on. I later got them back with sleet storm
