Day 89, Year 542 of the Ascendancy<\/font><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\n
\nToday, a handful of exiles took it into their heads that they should
\nvisit Kizmia’s Isle, but got massacred. Several rescue attempts were
\nmade, but they too were massacred, and the whole fiasco ended up in a
\nlot of departs for all. However, I had nothing to do with that. I was
\ntoo busy participating in my clan’s Shardik’lun, or monthly clan hunt.
\nThis month, we decided to hunt in the River Tunnel, and after some
\nsparse pickings, we decided to move our hunt to the Dark Chamber.<\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nAs stated before, today was my clan’s Shardik’lun.
\nHowever, before we could begin hunting, we needed some music to get us
\npumped up. So, we all gathered around the bard Coriakin, and listened
\nto his startling rendition of Duck II. It is a most unique song, to say
\nthe least. After the hilarious tune was finished, we all bid Coriakin
\ngood day, and headed off on our hunt.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\nOur first stop on our hunting list was the Darshak
\nHorde, where the sylvan Indigo had fallen. We only had two fighters and
\na healer with us(along with myself), but we decided to march into the
\nHorde anyway. It’s more heroic that way, and all that. Anyway, the
\nbattle was long and grueling, and of course I was stricken down right
\noff the bat. However, Fleming and Frozen Shade managed to take a
\ncorner, and with the healing prowess of Vequalir, the numbers of the
\nDarshak dwindled. Our clan mate Xepel joined in at the last minute, and
\nthe fate of the Darshak was sealed. Indigo and I were raised, and we
\nmoved on to the next item on our hunting agenda.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\nWe’d all had enough of the Darshak, so we decided
\nto conduct our hunt in the River Tunnel. Our first stop was the Wurm
\nCave, but it proved to be dreadfully low on critters, and was populated
\nonly by a few Scavenger Wurms. We moved out hunt to Crawlers’ Revenge,
\nbut again, there were few beasts to confront us. However, Tonle and
\nAnaeka joined our party, and we decided we had sufficient strength to
\ntackle the Dark Chamber. So, we paddled our way to Ash Island, and were
\nmet there by two Gens Dea, and together we took on the Dark Chamber,
\nand it’s horde of undine.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\nAt first, we seemed to be doing well enough, and
\nthe number of undine dwindled. However, when a small group of Greater
\nWraiths showed up, it left most of our party fallen. Those that were
\nable to flee tried to push their fallen comrades out, but that only
\nended up adding to the body count. However, a small rescue party soon
\narrived, and the tide was turned upon the undine. We established a
\nsecure foothold on the west end of the tunnel, and proceeded to hunt
\nthe undine from there.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\nWith the aid of the powerhouse Zo, Natas, we were
\nable to hunt the undine with ease. Natas would lure the undine from the
\nchamber to the west, and we would surround and pound the undine until
\nthey were naught but mush upon the floor. Gradually, we dispatched the
\npowerful undine, until there were only a few left. That is when we made
\nour fatal mistake, and decided to move our hunt to the chamber on the
\nleft.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\nAt first, everything went well enough, and we
\ncleared out the Dark Chamber. Natas lured some more undine from the
\nsurrounding rooms, and we had plenty to hunt. However, a sudden spawn
\nof Death Furies caught us unawares, and felled the lot of us. The few
\nof us that managed to escape to the eastern hallway were met by an
\nassemblage of Greater Wraiths, and also slaughtered. However, as they
\nsay, good triumphs over evil and all that, and soon, a rescue party was
\nformed, and we were all raised back upon our feet.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

\nWe hunted in the Dark Chamber for a few more
\nhours, and then decided to call it quits. Later, more exiles would go
\nback to the Dark Chamber, and fall there, but that’s another story. So
\nwhat did I learn from all that hunting? Hard to say. Just hunt near the
\nexit, so yi can run away when things look grim, and watch out for the
\nDeath Furies. They bite.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
