Temerity on Fire |
|
Dec 07, 2007 - 12:49 PM - by Cromis

Even as we are seeing a smaller raid force and unexpected absences due to the holidays, Temerity continues to move forward. We have had several exciting events in the last week.
First, we managed to get a bunch more flagged for Bertoxxulous (special thanks to Zyryth). This will allow us to continue backflagging and move a whole bunch of peeps into the Tower of Solusek Ro.
Second, Agnarr finally coughed up the goods. Congratulations on a sever first Amulet of the Rain:
 .
Then we smacked down Solusek Ro for the first time in the inner chambers of his tower.
He provided us with two very nice new toys, the Raiment of the Fire Son:
and The Orb of the Sun:
Congratulations on all those getting into the Plane of Fire. Finally, the late night crew, after beating down the Zek boys in Tactics (grats to you flaggers too), Headed into the Plane of Fire for a little fun with Pyronis:
Congratulations on our first (of many) Elemental pieces:
It looks like it matches Akhevan Green fairly well ....

Temerity breaks 2000 |
|

Last Friday, in the Tower of Solusek Ro, Temerity logged it’s 2,000th raid target into TPS.
Over the course of our TPS logging, we have awarded more than 106,000 TPS points, with our members spending 103,000 of them on 4,270 drops.
Our most popular target? Lord Inquisitor Seru, with 104 raids logged into TPS. A close second was the Glyphed Covered Serpent at 95 raids. An honorary mention goes to Aten Ha Ra with 36 raids logged, and the Emperor Ssraeshza with 46.
With the rapid progression we have been experiencing, our total kills have dropped off a bit in the last six months (about 220 targets called), but, our last six months have also seen some of our most significant progress as we logged in the following Guild and Server firsts: Agnarr, Arlyxir, Jiva, Rizlona, Protector of Dresolik, Xuzl, and Rallos Zek the Warlord. We opened access to 4 new zones (well five if we count the Plane of Fire) in the Elemental Planes. We defeated Rallos Zek the Warlord – an upatched, pristine version – with a raid of 50, not once, but twice – and in a fashion that says that we own him (not only that, we did so without starting the faction war in the Tactics pit). As we refined our strategies over and over again, we were forced to learn more about this event through the process of trial and error than any of our past triumphs. And we persevered, carried forward, not only by our present raid force, but also on the backs of the many Temerity heroes who paved the way and initiated our drive to succeed.
Looking forward, we have a host of new adventures, of new opportunities. Let’s approach them with the same enthusiasm and will to succeed. Next up – Solusek Ro.

Rallos Zek (again) |

Once more Temerity stormed the fortress of the God of War, defeated his minions, and threw him down.
From deep within the Tower of Solusek Ro, a book was recovered ....
Quote:
Jiva the Reckless rests now that his work is done.
With the knowledge afforded to him by wise Arlyxir he was able to create a tear in the planes between the Tower of Solusek Ro and The Plane of Fire. Arlyxir has always been trusted go-between for Solusek and his father Fennin. However, Arlyxir has decided to form alliance with Solusek.
The decision of direct confrontation against the populace of Norrath was not an easy one to make. They both know that Fennin would not agree to such a hostile act, because the Pantheon would not condone it.
After many hours of incantations a great well marked with runes of fame appeared and began to pour the very essence of the Plane of Fire into The Tower. The Guardians of Dresolik, the Great Shard, watch over the pulsating crystal as it harnesses the power being syphoned from the Plane the Fire. Only time stands between us now. Those that I once walked with soon learn of the mistakes in their transgressions.
I can hear Xuzl in his Tower, always working on his conjurings. The crackle of the animated regiment of flaming swords can be deafening. Xuzl does not take any time to rest; for he knows as will all do that the time draws near.
Greater fiends has been constructed by Solusek to spread their curse upon any that survive the initial destructive force from Dresolik. The seven fiends will be generals of the army being conjured by Xuzl. Solusek has also placed his trust in two elemetals. These elementals have coalesced into the form of wyverns. I must say that I am quite partial to their new forms, and have formed a kinship with them. Together with them we will exterminate any dragonkind that are resistant enough to flame to save them from onslaught that Dresolik will provide. Dresolik pulses with extreme power, it will soon be powerful enough to scorch Norrath. I can only hope that my voice and praise of Solusek will be enough to give the others the strength needed to continue.

Yes, Solkusek Ro, we can see you now ... The Time Draws Near!

Ever since Al'Kabor came online, Rallos Zek has been standing watch over the pit in the Plane of Tactics. For years, he sat undisturbed, until last spring. The forces of Temerity began invading his home. His two seneschals, Decorin Berik and Decorin Grunhork, were butchered by the forces of Temerity, but Rallos Zek lived on. His brothers, Vallon and Tallon, were struck down, but Rallos Zek remained.
As time passed, Rallos Zek began to fear for his life. After the murder of his brothers, he came forth from his place of rest to strike us down, but he could not do so. Even with his guards joining the fight, we managed to drive him out and into the Pit.
It was there he made his stand. Once, twice, three times, we fought him, and each time, he prevailed. But each time, we came closer to defeating him. So Rallos Zek was scared.
At last it came, the day of reckoning. October 3rd, 2007: Rallos Zek's last night alive.

The intrepid raid force assembled in the Plane of Tranquility, enjoying a last moment of peace before storming Drunder.

The time had come, the battle was on. The raid force entered the Fortress of Zek, and we swiftly made our way to the battle ground. Decorin Berik and Decorin Grunhork were once again dispatched with brutal efficiency. Vallon Zek assailed us, and he brought some guards with him, but he could not stand against our might.
But Rallos Zek had some tricks left up his sleeve.

[Wed Oct 3 21:40:18 2007] You tell your raid, 'We're experiencing some technical difficulties... Tallon Zek doesn't seem to have spawned. trying to figure out if he's hiding somewhere.'

Rallos thought that by hiding his brother, he could save himself. But it could not last. Our seasoned scouts located the missing Zek, and we fought to corral him and bring him to his death.
And then, disaster struck. Tallon Zek suddenly shifted tactics, and charged into the fray. With him came numerous guards, too many to handle, and the mighty Temerity raid machine was destroyed. We soon found ourselves once again in the Plane of Tranquility, feeling anything but tranquil.
One short CR later, we were ready to try again. We crawled in, cleared the two triggers, and...

Vallon Zek knew he could not stand alone against our might, and so, like a coward, he ran away to the protection of his guards. Our super pull team set to work, brought forth Vallon Zek for us to kill, and then

He fled again! And when he returned, it was with guards, too many to take on, and once again, we were defeated.
But Temerity has never given up in the face of defeat, and this night was no different.

[Wed Oct 3 23:15:26 2007] You tell your raid, 'OK, we're going to corpse summon and form up again.'
[Wed Oct 3 23:15:39 2007] You tell your raid, 'But we're not giving up. RZ dies tonight.'
|
Once again, we formed up, we charged in, we killed the triggers. Rallos knew he could not hold us off, and he brought down the spectre of Link Death upon us:
Quote:
[Thu Oct 4 00:13:50 2007] Kaboom has left the raid.
[Thu Oct 4 00:14:00 2007] Thiklan has left the raid.
[Thu Oct 4 00:17:05 2007] Kaotic has left the raid.
[Thu Oct 4 00:17:38 2007] Kwelynin tells the guild, 'If anyone is LD, speak up now!'
[Thu Oct 4 00:17:42 2007] Nilwein has left the raid.
[Thu Oct 4 00:30:32 2007] Utdaan has left the raid.
|
And still, we soldiered on. Vallon Zek fell, Tallon Zek fell, and Rallos Zek was once more forced to come forth and face us himself. And once again, we drove him out from his lair, and into the pit. This was where the final showdown would be.
We rebuffed, and we headed down to the pit to face the God of War. We reached our fight point, and started our final preparations. But after all of his tricks, his attempts to hide, to avoid his fate, Rallos Zek decided to take matters into his own hands:
Quote:
[Thu Oct 4 00:48:07 2007] You tell your raid, 'Invis up and move to SE corner of pit now.'
[Thu Oct 4 00:48:44 2007] Bora tells temcc:2, '___ spliting Rallos Zek the Warlord ___'
[Thu Oct 4 00:48:48 2007] Arguile tells temheals:7, 'START ROT'
[Thu Oct 4 00:48:51 2007] You tell your raid, 'RZ'
[Thu Oct 4 00:48:52 2007] You tell your raid, 'RZ'
[Thu Oct 4 00:48:53 2007] You tell your raid, 'RZ'
|
Yes, he jumped us. But we were ready. Our tank leaped into action in a split second, our healers started pouring out the healage, and the DPS cranked up to full burn. The kiters prepped themselves, and started pulling massive trains as soon as the adds spawned. The raid leader started frantically shouting instructions.
Everyone acted smoothly, calmly, and did their jobs. RZ was falling quickly. Soon he was almost dead.
But had we been able to hold it together enough? Did we have enough people left alive and well to finish him off?
Yes!
And the final result? I think these three screenshots speak for themselves:
Welcome, Temerity, to the Elemental Planes.
