-HC- Maladomini, Sat Oct. 19th, 4pm ET, 8pm GMT, 1pm PT

[Enius the White]

Into uncharted HC waters we go!

With the extra bump in hells penalties and potential KD fest that Malad offers, we would really enjoy the company of a singer for the final 3 layers. If anyone has a willing HC bard (or chanter) at or near 60, needing gear, we can share what BURs we have.

In any case, the slug must die, and we will see it done.

Please post, or let me know, if anyone needs this time changed.

Crow has had some family festivities come up this weekend, so our party with the Slug is bumped to next weekend, as per the amended thread title. We will be doing a Tia a bit earlier instead, with more to follow depending on what people want.

That's good news as my son Matt currently has no internet connection at his place, will see if I can find some characters that need Tia tagging or just play some of my usual suspects.

Just a reminder that this is on for tomorrow (Sat Oct. 19th, 4pm ET, 8pm GMT, 1pm PT). There's still some room for anyone who wants to sign up. If we can grind out a win tomorrow, only Cania will stand between us and a visit to Asmodeus' crib!

Everyone knows that there are no promises of success, or survival. The one thing you can count on is that, regardless of savage risk and danger, your party mates will always have your back.

We didn't die but boy was the boss fight unpleasant, thanks to Crow for pulling us through the last bit although everybody played their part.

That was one of the best runs i've done in -HC- so far. Glad to see everyone return even after a few minor problems, thanks for the tag. I'll be happy to play the Druid time and time again, looking forward to seeing "-HC- Cania" on the Party Schedulling thread.

Indeed, as Chain points out, that was the most lengthy, challenging Malad boss fight that I've experienced. One tank, no bard and 6 players, with the first round of timers on the Slug's nasty randoms (including our favorite Bueroza); add the harrowing, almost unfathomable "get deleted" HC reality to the mix and you are in the thick of it for sure!

Trapped in the Bueroza aura with no rests, full bios, or even gs left except pots, I actually thought we were done. Then Chain squeezed out with a beautiful job of leashing the spawn, Porticusa, our lone tank, got his back to a wall and started swinging again with a seemingly suicidal agro swarm, as Crow opened up with an epic world of hurt, on returning from his last rest.

m4l4dl3, having you Druid for us was instrumental in this win. Seeing green stuff everywhere, when it really mattered, was sweet, and I can't recall more game changing immutes on any single run.

Simply the best run that I've had the privilege of being a part of in years. Thank you!

Wow. Nice to see people are still -HC-ing.

I have a 60 HC bard from 3+ years ago. I'm not sure how much HC has changed, but I may be able to help at some point.

Good to see an old player back here, I think we've only had one run where we mangaed to snag a bard in the last couple of months and we'd obviously rather have real people than bots (especially for those of us that only have one head and non-superhuman manual dexterity). I'm sure we can help in gearing you up if you're missing stuff.

[Torin]

Man, I cant wait until I get my -HC- toons ready for hells again and join you. Level 57 atm. Somehow I hope to be at the first -HC- Nessus but I'm not sure if I'm fast enough.

[Deleted]

Would you want to risk the character and not even get the tag?, thats the kind of spirit we need:D haha

[Enius the White]

Olir, Torin, we would be very happy to have you join us.

A bard, and staffy could really swing the balance of power in our favor. I'm sure that we have enough good gear to go around.

I'm going to propose that we use our usual Sat time this weekend to run a Thids/Tia (with quick run through to WS between, if needed). This will give Olir and Torin, and anyone else who is interested, an opportunity to get their skull. It will also give us a chance to get some bios back!

I've posted a proposed time, and we can discuss the time, etc. on that thread:
