Day 74, Year 537 of the Ascendancy

Darqmax, Entil’Zha, and I sat in town, looking for
something to do. After a bit of thinking, and listening to cries for
help via the sunstone, we came up with two options: to rescue the
Abyss, or to help with a rescue in the ‘Noids. It was unanimously
decided that the ‘Noids was safer, and we hopped over to the ‘Noids in
no time(thanks to Entil’s Pathfinding ability). When we got there,
there were already tons of healers and fighters, and I thought the
rescue was going to be a piece of cake. How wrong I was. We started out
well enough, cutting down the Arachnoids left and right. We made it
pretty deep into the cavern, when a couple of Green Arachnoids showed
up, and started cutting us down. This, coupled with a few back spawns, sent us slipping down into the center of the cavern.

There were already quite a few bodies there, and
we formed a long chain corpses. I counted twenty-one bodies, but I am
sure there were more casualties. The place was crawling with
Arachnoids, and things seemed very bleak. Several attempts werre made
to rescue us, but all of them failed. Then finally, after almost eight
CL hours, a rescue party was able to put us back on our feet. The
Arachnoids kept attacking us, but once we were raised, they were
outmatched. Everybody gained two ranks from the Ancients for bravery
and compassion, and everybody went home happy.
