"We are tired of waiting for a trapper, so we accepted you instead" they said.

"We are tired of waiting for a trapper, so we accepted you instead" they said.

Actualy, it was really cool. We snuck past the VON3 traps with tactics -- stand against this door and run through it before the trap gets you. Stand very very far away from that door and then go through later. Our stunt-warforged died at each door, but the rest of us were fine until the very last trap.

(Spoilers, obviously)

Endgame: Our supposedly "safe" corner got zapped hard enough to kill everyone but me, the Cleric and someone else. I used my big heal, unyielding Soverignty, to come back from the brink of death. I sprinted forward to buy some time for the Cleric. But the Inevitable ran right past me. Then my Intimidate caught his attention and he came back to fight me. My armor, defensive buffs and all that seemed to be holding.

But then the Inevitable stunned me. I couldn't move, couldn't self-heal, couldn't stop the Inevitable from killing our Cleric.

I can't cast raise dead until I level up so I was stuck with what we had on hand. The Inevitable moves fast and kills quickly. Now there are only three of us. The warforged healer, the necromancer and me. I can't heal the necro so I toss a Lay on Hands at the Warforged, he survives but gets tagged again and runs into the other room to self heal.

The Inevitable chases him, runs past me, and then spins around to fight me instead. My intimidate worked! The warforged caster takes his sweet time healing up, and I get blinded. Apparently, DDO blindness has been upgraded from black screen to white screen. Totaly cooler too.

According to the focus orb, the Inevitable has no HP left! I can't see, but I can tell that I'm losing hitpoints quickly and that my self-heals are still working. A few times I feel confident that my HP are high enough and I take a few swings with my force damage axe. I deal a bit of damage, but strangely the no-HP Inevitable doesn't die! Is it bugged? It should be dead! DIE DIE DIE!

Finaly, my vision clears and the metal giant crashes to the ground with the groan of defeated metal. The Warforged caster posts the killing blow and brags about it. I don't care, I'm just glad we won.
