I go down to the Sylvan Grove fully prepped with a transplendant, air elemental, and two special guards after having clairaudienced him to find out where he was(gotta love cabal guard greetings). I've done the wand thing, the staff thing, the potion and scroll thing, and the fillet thin and I'm feeling pretty good about my chances of at least putting the fear of Bria into him.
So I walk up to the ranger guard all non-chalantly and stumble into this snare. At this point I'm getting a little worried cause he could easily wait for all of my stuff to wear off and then tear me up. He comes in, kills my guards in like 6 rounds cause my guards have always been pansies, and then starts attacking my archon. Mistake #1 I'm thinking to myself, as archons will kick your ass to be certain. Then he insect swarms me, drawing me into battle. Mistake #2. He flees into the Grove and sits at the bear, thinking about what he has gotten himself into by messing with the archon as a cloud giant so I attack the ranger. Not something I'd normally do, but since the damn sylvans seem to have no qualms about running through the stern guard and Arbiter Elder in no time flat, I figured it was time for a little pay back. So I'm killing the ranger, my air elemental is kicking its ass for sure and Kamal returns and starts attacking the air elemental. I'm blasting him with a couple magic missiles every other round cause I know lash is FRICKING WORTHLESS when you need it most. Eventually the air elemental dies a few rounds before the ranger does. I'm in a wall of thorns, Kamal is coming in and leave at will, again cause lash sucks, but he's not bearcharging, he's entangling. Mistake #4 I'm thinking to myself, even though I am enlarged so it wouldn't harm me too much if he did bearcharge, but who knows. So somewhere along the line the ranger kicked dirt in my eyes and disarmed me so my whip is laying there all shiny and I'm spamming "c m kamal" and he's down to gushing and then the fighting stops all of a sudden. Last thing I saw was an unspeakable things and I'm thinking wow, that was one seriously big fucking missile. I scroll back and see that he tried to sacrafice my whip and I start laughing my ass off.
He was stacked like Istendil but I couldn't carry any of it. Then I see it, the staff that gives me an earth elemental. I hold it, say the magic words, and bang, I've got my looter.
Was the most entertaining, stressful, and laugh-provoking event I've ever had while playing Cf. Damn me for not logging it!
