Boooo!

Finally going to get the Dynamis – Beaucedine win, and BAM, server crash.

Apparently, 4 servers are ‘partially down’ although from what I’ve seen, there isn’t much of anyone still connected on any of them.  All 5 major cities on Caitsith are down :(.

Anyways, when I try to reconnect, this is what I see.

So I found the other status codes, here they are —

Yeah, this kind of sucks… boo servers down.  Its odd, I can’t find just Maintenance right now.  Oh well, going to go to bed unless this comes back up soon.

All good part 1’s need a part 2.  And here it is.

After we crossed the bridge at the end of part 1, we fought some Hydra.  They were nasty, but the Black Mage, White Mage, Red Mage trio were not too difficult.

The Melee trio of Monk, Thief, Warrior proved a bit more difficult, and I ended up tanking during the Monk’s Hundred Fists (at least for a couple seconds)

The Monk had some TP move called Shackled Fists.  It looked, and hit, like a renamed Final Heaven.  If you’ve never seen a Monk get 1-shotted before, here you go.

A closer look at the damage.  OUCH!  1468.

A pic of the Hydra Beastmaster and his pet Hound.

On the next floor, we ran into some Kindred.  Of course no dynamis would be complete without a summoner.

And some AF!  This is only the second pair of these I’ve ever seen fall.  Cool.  The person who got this is now 5/5 on White Mage AFv2.

More shinnies in the treasure pool.  Hydra Gaiters.

I just thought this picture was neat, so I included it.

As the run came to an end, we got out first big link of the night.  But with under 10 minutes left, we were basically finished already.  Notice how in these pictures there are usually only 3 people alive, myself, Irons as thief, and Mptythoughts on his Warrior.

This is Pyra’s final stand.  Vae Victis!

Here we go, at long last, my pictures from Dynamis – Tavnazia.

From the opening CS.  Unlike the other Dreamland Dynamii, this one is much darker, and Diabolos is barely visible, surrounded in a very bright light.

And part of the text, weird.

I’m not sure anyone knows what the ‘storyline’ behind dreamland dynamis really is.  I know I’ve got no clue.

Anyways, you enter, subless as always, and have to get time right away (start with 15 minutes, only allowing 18 members inside).

After he is dead, run up to the middle floor.

One of the time monsters is a Nightmare Worm.  Think Phantom Worm on steroids.  He likes to do draw-in then immediately stonega4 or tremors.  Luckily (for me at least) he only used tremors.  1600 HP comes in handy when he uses a 400 damage to all move twice in a row.

Mages were not so lucky.

Hey look, NPCs in a dyanmis.

Running across the bridge in the safehold.

Sure, send the cats in first.

Nightmare Hornets, nasty guys that have a TP move that gives them Hundred Fists.  Wouldn’t be too bad, except the zone is full of them.

End of part 1.  In an effort to not have huge posts, this post was split in two.

Before runs, it is apparently tradition in KI to do a wall of taru.  Enjoy!

I know at one point, my goal in migrating to Caitsith was to become somewhat less busy, but the opposite seams to be happening.  I’m more busy than I was before, but its fun, and I’m having a blast.

But anyways, moving along.

Dynamis – Valkrum

First entrance, and death.  We had a bad sheep link which caused us some problems.  Also, no subjobs yet.

Yay the non-aggroing boss.  Then we aggroed it.

And the win!  That’s 3/3, giving me access to Tavnazia.

After the win, its off to farming *grin*

And we get a Bard Cape.  Neat.

And 3 AF’s in the treasure pool at the same time

Ohhh shiney CS at the end.

Part of the final CS.

Coming up soon, Proto-Omega, WotG Mission Pics and Dynamis – Tavnazia Pictures.  They were going to be in this post, but it turned out to be too long (again).

I’m doing so much I can’t keep up with the pictures, but I’ll try.
