a silly puppet  

Out with the old:

This is a monster mission where you select one of 6 different gods to become. Cazic/Bertox/Ralloz/Errolis (can’t remember other 2 )

Once you hand in your ticket to "a silly puppet", accept the task, pick your god, and say "Imagine" to a silly puppet..... you are transported to the instanced zone.

You are at the tunnel of kithicor to riverdale ...

Your objective is to protect the fabric of reality.

Setup your 2 abilities fast.. because the 1st of 3 waves of an army will be coming.

Wave one has a boss that looks like a Wright (light blue con)... with several banshee adds.

Wave two has a boss that looks like a giant hobgoblin (dark blue con)... with several smaller hobgoblin adds.

Wave three has a boss that looks like a giant skeleton on horseback "The Commander" (model from PoNightmare b) (white (even) con)... with 2 light blue generals (gargoyles -- light blue con) and 2 separate groups of red skeleton adds.


You have time to regroup at the tunnel / med up between waves.... and you will need to.

The first 2 waves are cake... just have the healer (Errolis Marr) keep the tank ( Rallos Zek ) alive.. and have the group assist tank on the boss first, then cycle through the adds.

The last wave is tricky .... the commander is not attackable at onset of battle... he becomes attackable about 6 minutes after you engage the 1/2 half of the red skeletons and the 2 generals (gargoyles).

I suggest attempting to separate the generals from the red skellies.. by having someone kite the skellies while the rest of group kills the generals.

Cycle as much of the skellies as you can before the commander becomes active and engages the group.

Best tactic we found was to separate the commander from the rest of the army... this is possible if you pull him to the left or right of the tunnel... and have others kite off the adds away from him... you may die several times doing this.... but it is so much easier having him separated and then having your group concentrate on him.

Once the commander is dead.. you win. No need to kill rest of the army...

Loot your shard off the commander's corpse.. and you will be kicked out in 2 minutes.

[Sat Oct 31 09:14:40 2009] Cathil says 'You'll have to forgive Wenan here, it has been a long journey for the two of us for you see, for we are [wandering story tellers].'
[Sat Oct 31 09:14:41 2009] a silly puppet yawns. 'Hanging around all day sucks. Hahah, ''hanging'' around, I slay me!'
[Sat Oct 31 09:14:49 2009] You say, 'wandering story tellers'
[Sat Oct 31 09:14:49 2009] Cathil says 'Yes indeed. You see we earn our keep traveling from town to town entertaining all who would listen to the tales of fancy our imaginations can dream up! Why in fact, I bet Wenan here might have a [tale] or two for you now, if you ask him nicely enough!'
[Sat Oct 31 09:14:53 2009] You say, 'tale'
[Sat Oct 31 09:14:53 2009] Cathil says 'I can't think of any right now but perhaps Wenan might have one for you. Better ask him.'

[Sat Oct 31 09:14:57 2009] a silly puppet says 'Tale? Who told you anything about a tale? Well I might have a small story for you if you have something for me. That's right, I gotta eat too, you know. Life isn't all roses and honey for me, bub. So cough up the prize or get lost cuz you're blocking my view.'
[Sat Oct 31 09:15:06 2009] a silly puppet says 'Hey! Hey! Not so loose on the strings! Sheesh! Just which one of us is the dummy here?'


After handing him the Bristlebane's Ticket of Admission, "imagine" is the key word to zone into the Monster Mission.
