A whirlwind where everything's a blur~

Man, we've really been on the ball with getting tasks done!

Sunday, we got a whole slew of things accomplished. First, Darkcow and I finished the SanD'orian string of quests, and now we can continue the Wings of the Goddess missions! Resheph came out to help us with the last NM, who wasn't as scary as we thought he'd be.


Once we had that done, we decided to try our hand at The Black Coffin, a mission we'd been pretty scaredy~wared to do.
     
It actually went great! No one died, and even though we didn't get all of the Crew to sleep, it was still handled well. Now, we're finally moving in Missions again! Yay!
---
Since we still had some time before Dynamis-Buburimu, we decided to head for Mount Zhayolm to get some soul plates.

We were all able to get the pop items we wanted just from one run! We decided to wait until after our Linkshell events to fight them, since it'd take a while. So we did Dropping Like Flies instead; Eruntalo needs an Emperor Hairpin, and we figured we'd try our luck.

It went perfect, and we beat the record! No Emperor Harpin, though. At least it's easy enough for us to repeat. But now, let's get on to the meaty stuff!
---

This was our first Dreamworld Dynamis since we were granted access last month. We were a few people short of the max head count, but we went in anyway, and pwned it!
      "
We had Apocolyptic Beast down after about 30 minutes from the door, and we farmed after that. Unfortunately, the drops were slim, but this pull was fun!

Vedder did well that time. :P But they weren't an issue- I don't even think we had near the death count Dynamis normally brings.

Once Dynamis was over, we all headed to Sky for Kirin; congrats to Eruntalo for his first run! I was actually able to come Summoner (THANKS DIABOLOS FOR LETTING US BEAT YOU ♥), and it was fun chasing him around doing Nether Blast. Learning to Blood Pact a kited mob is really easy!
     
We took him down *fairly* easily, though he did wipe almost everyone with an unexpected Astral Flow (and I somehow lived with 57HP?).
---
Once we finished up in Sky, Eruntalo, Riibob, Resheph, Cow and I took off to do a few ZNM pops. We lost to Vulpangue (once.....again....I hate this thing), but we did beat Chigre and Ob for 'Talo and Resh. Neither one dropped the item we were aiming for, but at least Resheph got the PUP Earring from his.
     
The Chigre fight was easier, since we met a group there and teamed up. We also just spammed Poisona and Paralyna on the tanks, making the NM redo those En-spells. The Ob fight was...epic. We went in with the assumption that Eruntalo would tank/kite him with RDM/NIN, and we would support him. Welll..after 20 minutes of getting nowhere doing that, we came up with the idea that we would kite him around the entire Nyzul Isle map, and I'd keep Carbuncle on him. It took well over an hour, but we finally got him down. He's a vicious little Puppet!
---
We finished off the night with a few friendly ol' Pankration matches. My little Celestial Whispers whooped everyone... :P


---
Overall, we've gotten quite a bit accomplished. Now to just work on Paladin...I've dealt with more crappy people in XI as PLD than any other time in my four years of playing. And I'm the tank! You're sposed to be nice to me! ►.►
