last night was a learning experience. Did not know about the large Scarecrows fucking up the puzzle.

did first run thru, got kicked to the swamp, get ready to do 2nd run.. client locks HARD. It refuses to clear, so I have to close and restart the DDO client.  Get back in, and there's kitchy lag, stop & start waves of it. I hear someone say "Don't kill the big one" so I pull back.. but still have agro so he's chasing me everywhere. he also wont follow my path, rather waits a sec then cuts across the room.

... right over the damn puzzle. To make things even more fun, my Renewals, Cocoons, Consecrates, Resurrection casts, and heals will NOT go off. I cant even drink a damn heal pot. In order to get anything to go off, I have to stop and do literally NOTHING but stand there and repeatedly stab the hot key action for what I'm trying to do. Had to drop my aura and go direct to avoid killing the wrong scarecrows, and for some reasons my directs aren't firing either.

Then Bees.. lots of bees...  *sigh*

Everything was good until the 2nd run and I restarted..

I fucked up pretty good last night. We recalled but most folks were tired and we called it a night...

Fixed.

Finally got a run completed.... but almost didn't manage it. We short-manned it and had a couple really REALLY new folks who couldn't follow directions.

I don't get bothered when someone wants on puzzles because they have no DPS and less resistance to a good beating. Why someone @ cap has less then 900hp is beyond me.. but fine.

Anywyas.. I learned my lesson from the 1st try and volunteered to tank/agro the big skellies.

It was working fine till one of the other players pet skeleton started coming over and fucking with my agro. it's owner would soon join. Told him to drop the Skele, and explained why.. figured he would take the hint. He didn't. Kept coming back and taking shots. After he died several times I stopped raising him and just left him to rot. Not sure but I think he used the shrine right off the bat too for no particular reason

Wonder how many times it's gonna take to get Dusk
