He had a go against Lusca solo on his 50 PB, with predictable (to me) results. We're doing TFs with him to get those, and today I logged in and got skype running, and as we were playing he told me of an encoutner he had earlier that day with a GM. He spotted said GM whilst hunting ghosts in Croatoa, tabbing for the next mob. He told me that he'd never seen this particular monster before, and hadn't tried soloing one since he became T4 incarnated, so he figured what the heck, he'd have a go. He thought it best not to take any chances, so he buffed up, ate a full tray of large inspirations, got all his pets out (even his Shivans and Warwolves), charged in and unleashed his Judgement for an initial strike... Poor Sally didn't stand a chance, really. I laughed like a drain when he told me this. He said that only then did he check out Sally on paragonwiki, and after hanging round for half an hour, he defeated her the second time with a shot from his tier 1 attack.  Eco |

I think it would be hysterical to have about 1 out of every 100 Sally spawns instead spawn Sa11y, a GM (with an eerie resemblance to Sally from the neck up) who would react to an attack by rising out of the water to reveal a Jurassik-like stance and a gigantic tree trunk for a club before pounding the stuffing out of the poor hero who mistakenly attacked the angry big sister monster who dislikes people picking on sweet, gentle little Sally.

Unfortunately, the game engine doesn't keep that level of precision.

In all seriousness, this is a great story - I love these kinds of tales about funny moments in game history. Thanks for sharing! |
