Boone has returned, and Bishop Duncan is dead...
Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2002 4:31 amLast evening Sholeh ( 
) and I (Cove) were doing maps near Trinsic when we got the message to return to the Brit Bank, pronto. We high-tailed it back and discovered that a weary monk had come from Yew. Apparently Bishop Duncan had been taken prisoner and was near death. He was being held in the Yew Prison.
A force of heroes including Edison, Ciara, Legion, Roc Silivan, Vincent Tel'Imoen, Sholeh ( ), Blaze, Malakim, Thagadore, Cahir and I (if I forgot someone please forgive me) headed to the Yew Monastery to investigate. We made our way to the Prison and discovered Dailga forces everywhere.
A weird storm was approaching (restart) so after our initial assault we decided to regroup and let the storm pass. When we returned we discovered an escaped monk. He advised us that there was a less direct approach to take and we headed that way.

The fighting was nevertheless fierce. The Dailga hired mercenaries who rode FireHorses. More than one of us fell this day to these fiends, but we finally fought our way through to the cell where Bishop Duncan was being held.
Alas, we were too late.

On his corpse we found a note, and then the escaped monk came back and told us that we must hurry back to the Monastery. Apparently those responsible for kidnapping the Bishop were preparing to perform some ghoulish rite with Boone's body, and we had not a moment to lose if we were to prevent them from succeeding.

We gated over and found even more of the Dailgas awaiting us. Included in this band were Dark Monks and Dark Summoner Adepts. Wave after wave of hellish fighters were lured outside where we dispatched them.
Finally we worked our way inside and found a portal to the roof of the monastery. Once there several of us fell in battle.
In the end, we were victorious, however. We stopped the rite before it could be concluded and there stood a whole, living Boone, our beloved Banker.

He informed us he needed to speak to the Queen and so we gated back to Brit, where he took his rightful place once again.
*many thanks to Cahir for providing the EXCELLENT screenshots!*
