My character happened to slip in and see a little bit of the end of your first battle (you fell, the angel finished off the giant and disappeared). But after that is when I started to get confused. Instead of finding a safe place to hide and prepare your conjured monstrosities, you set up a couple of circles and started summoning right outside the rager cabal. Needless to say (or at least from what I saw) you were killed as soon as you unghosted (or as soon as they found out you were there). > I don't think attempting to retrieve against bad odds is stupid or foolish, especially with a couple of pretty powerful pets. But what I do think is foolish is attempting to prepare for an attack by sitting outside your enemy's front line, i.e., just north of the breaching. If you had even just waited in your cabal to conjure up an elemental and an angel, you would have had a good chance of at least surviving - even if it meant waiting another 15 minutes before you attacked. > That having been said, I'd like to re-iterate that I was impressed that you took the initiative to retrieve against bad odds. By doing that, you set an example that the umm 'other' masters should follow. > sparky, the verbose
