Hehe, not really.

I searched through the log file for the death cryies.

I thought the activity was fun and interesting. Really pushed my uo endurance with the intense battles, didn't even notice when the cd player ran out of cds.

I came to the docks dutch, just looking to run around crazy, dead or nekkid on Bucs Den. Thanks to my teammates the Red group was formed. There were 4 warriors and myself, so I knew I had my work cut out for me big time.

Abercrombie gave me a bag of simple equipment. I tried to split it evenly (though we didn't have enough sword weapons for our 3 swordswomen) and we set off quickly. Once we reached the island Darton quickly carved me a mound of kindling, and I was going to need it.

I buffed everyone so the weak pirates were easy and we collected some leather armor. We drew the pirates away from a black wisp so as not to get killed before we were ready. =P Also, I tamed any serpents that came by.

We went for pirate captains and sisters. With 4 tanks to heal I healed as fast as I could while wishing at the same time that I could conserve regs. I used the hides from serpents to make healing scrolls but still ran out of regs a few times. (Sorry for those times I failed to heal you Red.)

We had a few deaths in our group when we got broken apart in the midst of life or death battles: people wandered out of my sight and I lost their bars. Cohesion could have been better perhaps, I think staying tight would have helped. Not to mention one or another of us would go afk or whatnot from time to time. We worked at it though and did good considering that it was a long fight.

We collected more gear as time went on. Killed some rogue knights for plate armor, but as it turned out, [b]only one of the 4 tanks was strong enough for plate[b]! Sondra did great despite that she was adept and wasn't strong enough yet for even ringmail. I found a carpentry tool and Darton made me a flute. I only got to use it 3 times though with my big 60 provocation.

It was quite a struggle it was. Luckily the tanks could buddy heal each other, but some of the pirates healed too quickly for even 4 melee weapons to bring down. I wished at the time that I had invoc in prime instead of unsupported druidry. I had to blast offensive spells to make kills while the poor tanks risked their necks.

I think the heal potions went pretty quickly, but we were able to make a lot more bandages after Abercrombie gave us scissors. Maybe we should be able to make bandies with a dagger and cloth? I think I owe the tanks damage taking ability for keeping me alive though.

That one time I died was a bummer. The black wisp we had avoided in the beginning had caught the trail of one of ours during a chaotic battle. The wisp's target tried to run from the spells instead of staying in my healing range. I think my buffs dropped a moment before Abercrombie told me to hold still for lockpicks and the black wisp turned its attention from the dead warrior to me. I was dead before I could go 3 steps.

Abercrombie said sorry though (what a gentleman, I can think of a few people who could show such good form) and I was ressed quickly so I hit the ground running and we pulled together. We didn't have much armor or weapons at that time so I didn't think we could kill the wisp even though it used all its mana. They were too dangerous to melee naked and me just ressed with only 80 invoc. =[ If I had a wizard with me though... I really wanted to kill that thing.
I never saw the Lord of the Token, what did it look like?

The end of the game came very quickly it seemed. I was too busy casting heal at that point to notice Abercrombies countdown bcasts but luckily the others left and I followed. I felt pretty good that a rag tag group could get together, have a lot of fun and, with total lack of premeditation, kick some butt. All the dying could have been stressful yet we had a lot of fun and the group always had a few living people at least. =P
