Third Match Loss

The title says as much; we lost the third match of Ballista Royale, against the very, and I mean VERY experienced and skilled players from the team, Darkside.

Well, here I have a screenshot of our team members, which I think is the best taken yet.



The final score was 6-25. And wow, I didn't at all get a chance to score any petras. They were able to suppress us so well that even when I managed to approach the rook, the "event skipped" occurred due to them hitting me. I was bound countless times, one shoted by Guillotine. The dark knight came after me more often than not. Lullaby, of course, didn't work well enough.

Well, we lost, but at least it's good to see that at least such a strong team exists on Lakshmi. We're all on the same server after all, so all I can say is good luck to them. Lakshmi for the win!

After the match, and after we settled down from the loss, attempted to help Steini with his rank 6-2 mission, which had a rather hilarious result. Turned out that only Windurstians could enter the Burning Circle, and thus only him and Jakal managed to get in. As like anyone else would do, they escaped the place, of course. Death is not an option, with such unfair conditions.

Then, we set up a Promyvion-Dem party, for all those who hadn't completed it. I, of course had done it months back, but I offered to help anyway. It's really fun. After what seemed like a million hours, due to me being unable to teleport, and Jakal falling asleep, we finally got going in the promyvion. First time I ever entered without a summoner. But we didn't really need it anyway.

So we proceeded, only to die on the third floor, due to a stupid aggro from an incredibly tough mob, and a link by another Weeper. The tanks fell fast, and us mages bolted for the exit zone. None of us made it, all except for Tarfur.



You see, the zone is that glowing circle thing, and we died right on it. Duh.

We regrouped in Jeuno, got back to the promyvion, and this time we were lucky to meet another party doing it as well, so we formed an alliance for the way up to the boss fight. Everything went smoothly then. So was the boss fight. We were slow and steady in taking it down. Didn't have to use Bendiction, which was lucky, considering we didn't have a paladin. Now I see why some parties bring along paladins.

Much fun indeed, but very drained for the entire day, lasting from morning to late afternoon. Thank you everyone.
