Vulak`Aerr (Raid)  

You say, 'Hail, Essedera'

Essedera says, 'Well, Minasu, you must be one of those adventurers.' The drake ***** its head and leans toward you. 'What is it that you wish of me? Never mind, there is no longer a need to be coy, nor is there time for it. If you have come here to, um, [visit] with Vulak'Aerr, I can assist you. If not, then you should be on your way.'

You say, 'visit'

Essedera says, 'Under any other circumstance I would object and offer you no assistance at all. But times are different at the moment, and one must do what needs to be done, no matter the consequences. If you come with a [small] group I can easily assist you on entry to the tomb. If you bring a [larger] group I will assist you, but it will be challenging to my magic.'

You say, 'larger'

Essedera says, 'So be it. This is a sad day for me and my kin, but this is what I must do. I will be [ready] when you are.'

You say, 'ready'

Essedera says, 'I admit that I find it impossible to wish you luck.'

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

You have entered Sleeper's Tomb: The Call

You zone in near Amalgam Arbiter's arena. Drop down into the pit, and down the tubes to reach the area where the 4 platforms and center stage are.
You say, 'Hail, Cargalia'
Cargalia says, 'You should leave this place. [What] goes on here now is not a matter for your kind. We have no quarrel with you, unless you [choose to interfere].'
You say, 'choose to interfere'
Cargalia says, 'It is as we expected. Then you shall die!'

A roar comes from the four corners of the room, each of different timbre, but all in large volume. - Event Started

The Protector Dragons

This event mirrors the group mission in many respects. There are 4 Protector dragons, Melalafen, Honvar, Sivar, and Cargalia. Unlike the group mission, all 4 dragons must be engaged and fought at the same time. If any dragon is left unattended for too long, the event resets.

With one of his servants left free to work, Vulak completes his work. You sense the presence of a creature with power beyond your comprehension. It is aware that you exist. You have failed.

You cannot enter the central platform until all 4 dragons are dead. Doing so will kick you out, back to the exit golem. Each dragon is tethered to their platform, if you pull them past, it tethers, summons, and strips your buffs.
Your afflictions have been stripped.
Your afflictions have been stripped.
Cargalia begins casting Balance of the Nameless.

The order of the crystal aura AE's no longer follow a set pattern. They can come in any order, and even repeat.

Once all 4 Dragons are slain, you must move off the 4 corner platforms immediately, as the Auras will go permanently active in all 4 corners as soon as the center shield falls off.

As the last guardian dragon falls, the barrier protecting the central platform fades away. - Center Platform Shield falls.

Five seconds after the shield falls, you'll receive a second emote.

The magical device releases a wave of healing meant for the guardian dragons. They are not there to recieve it and so it finds its way into the mortals.
A wave of ancient and powerful healing washes over you.
Magical Device healed you for 250000 hit points by Restorative Wave.
Restorative Wave heals everyone present for 250k HP, and restores 70K Mana and 60K Endurance.

Vulak roars in anger and frustration, 'You must always interfere! It is your fault that I must do this, must disturb her on her great flight! Leave, pests, and I might offer a small word on your behalf!' - Vulak Aerr becomes fully active at this point.

Vulak`Aerr

Vulak`Aerr raises his head in preparation to breathe. - Incoming Gift of Aerr frontal AE.
Vulak`Aerr raises his wings. - Incoming Left Wing Sweep and Right Wing Sweep side AEs.
Vulak`Aerr's tail twitches. - Incoming Tail Swipe rear AE.

Power flows out from the central gem to the smaller gems. Something forms under each. - Golems will start spawning, in each corner, and start pathing towards the central crystal. If they reach the central gem, they will explode, and AE the raid.

Every Two Minutes, 4 sets of 2 players will be named with an emote. The 2 emoted players must run into one of the corner Auras to remove the debuff. They must not linger in the aura, or they will take the Refracted AE's damage continuously. Removing the debuff will also prevent an additional golem from spawning.

The device in the center of the tomb hums and glows. It calls with the power of the deep clear sky to Cinilya and Minasu. - Both named players get the debuff Call of the Deep Clear Sky, which they must remove by stepping into the clear crystal's aura briefly.
The device in the center of the tomb hums and glows. It calls with the power of the deep yellow sky to Zimmak and Nnyxx. - Both named players get the debuff Call of the Deep Yellow Sky, which they must remove by stepping into the yellow crystal's aura briefly.
The device in the center of the tomb hums and glows. It calls with the power of the deep blue sky to Syco and Dianskn. - Both named players get the debuff Call of the Deep Blue Sky, which they must remove by stepping into the blue crystal's aura briefly.
The device in the center of the tomb hums and glows. It calls with the power of the deep red sky to Darkweber and Krazer. - Both named players get the debuff Call of the Deep Red Sky, which they must remove by stepping into the red crystal's aura briefly.

Failure to remove the debuff results in a golem spawn, and Loss of the Heavens, a DD and 25 second stun.

Adds will spawn occasionally, a tomb guardian (black drake). These are easy to kill, but Vulak`Aerr's HP will lock at 3% if any remain up.

Every 1 minute and 15 seconds, 2 players will be emoted -

Roots and ice begin to gather around Leeyo and Sumii. - Both players have about 6 seconds, and then are encased in a Ball of Ice and Stone, along with anyone else who was near them. These balls can be attacked physically or magically, but require positioning. Stand near the top to properly melee it.

Lastly, once Vulak`Aerr hits 35%, the central crystal will reactivate and start cycling through the 4 corner auras again, this time massively expanding the Aura radius. It expands so wide, that it takes up about 1/3rd of the center stage, and so you will have to position Vulak`Aerr and make sure the raid is out of reach, or the aura will kill you quickly. It is highly recommeneded to save all burns for the final 35%, as all the mechanics will be in play from 35% onward.

The yellow gem glows, ready to accept power from the central crystal.
The blue gem glows, ready to accept power from the central crystal.
The red gem glows, ready to accept power from the central crystal.
The clear gem glows, ready to accept power from the central crystal. - 10 second warning before that crystal's aura massively expands. It will be a bright, rainbow colored aura on the ground, to help with visibility, but staying inside it is lethal, as Refracted Sickness/Fire/Lightning/Freeze will all be landing every 2 seconds instead of twice every 10 seconds.

Vulak`Aerr has been slain by Thegreat!

The raid mechanics will continue occuring until a player clicks on the gem in the middle.

The magical device thrums loudly for a moment, and just stops spinning.
The moment you touch the device you sense a presence. All around this presence is the deepest cold, colder than you have ever imagined. The presence seems to be floating in pure silence. As you become aware of it, it becomes aware of you. As it begins to turn its attention to you a deep dread overcomes you and you pull away. The moment you flee the presence the device shuts down. Whatever that thing was, you know that it was beyond your comprehension.

Once you click the gem, all survivors will warp back to the worried golem, and achievements will be granted. The chest will pop on the central platform.

You receive a small reward for your deeds. - Raid Currency
