Skirmish "Mad Wizard's Lair" or IG

sandukutupu

Today I got on and did some skirmish for a change. As Nicholas, I landed in IG and we made gold. After leaving, I stopped by the bank and popped out 40 black pearls and sent all 4 members of the PUG this message with 10 pearls each.

Your team provided an excellent distraction for the old foolish wizard Lukan. My Black Network was able to slip in and raid his treasure vaults. Here is a small cut for your unwitting part in our master plan.

I got the usual replies of "Thanks for the pearls.", but one asked me why. I believe players deserve better for going the distance. Shortly afterwards, as Hladgred, I randomly picked up four more players and we had such an easy first round, they too would go for gold. I had some wards in her bank. But they all voted to leave 4 to my 1 vote. So I said, "How sad Olaf, today there will be no ode sung of an epic battle." and she left.

I know, getting in a PUG with me is like winning the lottery, but just to let you know, I still reward people who find fun in going the distance. I will never write you back calling you a coward for leaving. You probably won't even know I am there. My advice is; try not to seek small quick rewards as your goal. Have fun playing!

Personally I don't find IG fun at all. Upon immediately entering the arena and the battle starts I end up being lag-locked. This doesn't stop until near the 50% mark. It eventually does smooth out so that I can actually contribute. As for the rest, the overall rewards at gold aren't worth the extra time to me, as I have never in all my gold runs, received better than a +3, which can be gotten at bronze.

That is like winning the lottery. I especially like the accompanying message. I certainly haven't run into anyone who's that considerate - or who even role plays like that. Since I started this past Christmas, I've met exactly one other player who wrote something in the bio.

Black Pearls are a nice gift. Those 2k salvage rings are good too.

Sorry to hear about the performance issues. Worse that happens to me (recently) is during the dragon runs in Well of Dragons, the sound drops out of the game. It is not the PC as other apps will still carry sound. But no where, as game breaking as, a lag can be. Also be aware, I give out nice rewards for my Foundry. I will be hosting a contest in June, (I hope) if the Foundry is available. Mad Monty's Mystery Maze is going to be funtastic. A winner will get the grand prize of a Coalescent Ward and another will get a Glorious Resurgent Mount Pack. Other prizes will definitely be worth the run. Not all of my give-a-ways are in IG.

@frogwalloper#6494 I have role played for a long time now. Back in 1990, I married my Dungeon Master. We played at the kitchen table until our two boys and their friends started playing, we felt a little like creepers. I love making creative fun for everyone. Since this is not costing me any cash, I don't see the harm in spreading the virtual wealth.

Try to have fun or it becomes work.

Since the Foundry seems down for the count this month, I been passing out rather large gifts in IG aka The Lair of the Mad Wizard.

Today's Big gift Goro Thay gave 4 hard working players Moderate Dread Enchantments! Goro Thay passed out 5 bottles of Wine from Barovia to the ones who stopped at bronze. Congratulations you are all winners.

Be on the look out for me in any of my eight personas, I might be in your match sooner or later!

Today's winners received 2 Greater Marks of Potency.

A female tiefling approaches you. "I am Llorna Zorg of the Bank of Zorg. I have this consignment for you. It is from the Harpers."

She hands you a small package and a note;

Drisdhaun
Marlokin
Draft
Shalltear

All four of you performed well today, unknown to you the Harpers used your "distraction" to investigate the Wizard's Lair to find more evidence about the Cloaked Ascendancy. Take this as payment.

Will Snooks, Harper Agent

Great job on going for the gold!

It has been a while since I found myself in IG, today 4 lucky people came in second place with fashion boxes; Garments of Earth. Keep your eyes out for me, I might be in your skirmish with rewards. First place is always something of Epic value!

Have Fun!
