Down in the Valley
Posted on July 13, 2002 in UncategorizedDay 289, Year 546 of the Ascendancy
Early this morning, a small hunting party entered the Valley. And fell.
Soon after, a small rescue party was assembled, consisting mostly of
healers, and bravely charged into the Valley in a suicidal chain run.
They too were felled. Several more rescue attempts were made(also
failures), and pretty soon the entrance cave to the Valley was packed
with dead bodies.
For a while things seemed pretty bleak, but just
as some of us we beginning to lose hope, a sizeable rescue party
arrived, and managed to save us from the Cave Cobras and Stinging
Beetles. Even after we were raised, more exiles arrived, and soon there
were more than 30 exiles packed into the small cave in the Valley.
At this point, it seemed that getting out of the
Valley would be a piece of cake. However, we were wrong. The moment our
group stepped out of the cave, we were nearly overwhelmed by 7 Valley
Panthers, and were forced to retreat back west.
Once we had regrouped, Tara was able to run the
panthers around while we peeled them one by one, and we were able to
defeat the beasts easily. The rest of our journey through the Valley
was pretty uneventful, except for at the exit cave, where some beetles
gave us some trouble.
All in all, it was a fun and exciting rescue.
