A Tough Fight / Wednesday, January 9, 2008
The time was almost upon us. As the hour struck, Squishies from all over the land of Granado Espada assembled in the City of Auch. Among the noble families who came, was TheGreatDanton, Saracen, Ifritus, Deniva, Crowinthas, Dather, Ophiera (masquerading as Silesia), and Ithimus. Equipment was generously handed out, as the huddle of eight Squishies prepared for battle. One by one, each made their way to the dreaded Old Port of Coimbra, a once vibrant city now overrun by the Undead. The Squishys' mission? To exterminate Dekaravia, the feared boss who ruled the area with a bony hand. And so the hunt began!
As the Squishies arrived, a base of operations was established in a staked out area. Engineers from the families of TheGreatDanton and Dather prepared their wards and structures, whilst others spreaded out in an attempt to find and lure Dekaravia. Once Dekaravia was found, Deniva, Crowinthas, Saracen, and Ithimus braved many deaths to finally lure it back to where our fellow Squishies awaited. There, a brutal fight ensued. Tank after tank perished, as Ifritus and Ophiera/Silesia took turns tanking. Alas, the power of eight families was not enough to kill it. As virgins to hunting Dekaravia, a promise was then made to never give up, to kill Dekaravia no matter what happened!
As the Squishies returned to the Old Port of Coimbra, hasty preparations were again made by our seasoned engineers. Turrets, wards, fences, rotating blades, all were used to bolster the Squishys' chance of success. With their new-found experience of dealing with Dekaravia, and the taste of failure fresh in their minds, the Squishies refused to give up. After much hard-work, coordinating attacks, and braving Dekaravia's AOEs and summons, our eight Squishy warriors came out victorious!
Now veterans who had survived Dekaravia, our Squishies resolved to hunt it again! Unfortunately, Dather could not lend his powers for this second hunt. Undaunted, the remaining seven Squishies pushed ahead! Although weakened through the loss of one family, the Squishies now had experience on their side. Preparations were again made, and the lurers again ventured out to risk their lives. Finally, after a long struggle with a Dekaravia which simply refused to take the bait, our lurers were successful in their mission. Back in Dekaravia's own lair, the seven Squishies went through dirt, grime, dust, sweat, and tears for the dead, and emerged victorious once more!!
With two downed Dekaravia's, the Squishies congratulated themselves for their success in taking down this tough boss not once, but twice! Back in the City of Auch, the loot was divided amongst the participants, and a much deserved rest was finally taken after back to back kills. Proud and confident of their successes, the Squishies returned to preparing for their next challenge: the second part of the Level 51 Faction Quest, against an even harder boss, Chrysalis. And there, the journey of the Squishies will continue.....

Thanks to all who were able to come, especially to those who stayed up all night to participate! Although Silesia wasn't able to lead us, I hope all who came had as much of a blast as I did! As so fittingly put by Ophiera, "Squish On!!" ^^
