PINKPAW and company

Well!
Finally took time out of Norrath to put in some screenshootings!

 

I Autothumbnailed these due to the fact that I am lazy and at the same time want the page to load sometime in this lifetime!

Check out our guild discussion group at http://pub19.ezboard.com/ballianceofmagicandsteel.

 

OK that got out of control quick so I am putting in some bookmarks.

A bunch of us waiting for the Ancient Cyclops to appear.  I *STILL* have not seen this lad.

ACcamp.jpg (51586 bytes)

Here is the guy who gave me my Eboots!  Of course we had to kill him to get them.   I won the roll.  (I almost fainted.)

efreeti.jpg (82433 bytes)

Skykat bothering a spectral curate in Karnor's Castle.

Skykat_vs_curate.jpg (157900 bytes)

Here is a portrait of the Emperor, who kindly gave us all keys to his city.

ganak.jpg (107077 bytes)

Here is a group portrait!  I managed to catch Bruneor just as he "makes a rude gesture" to the Emperor, while sitting on his throne.
The original had to have a pair of small changes.

Guild Portrait with Ganak.jpg (164946 bytes)

Same pic, no names, no gesture.  ;)

Everfrost - Here comes an Ice Giant and he is mad.  :)  Poor IG.

Here_comes_an_IG_and_he_is_mad.jpg (454746 bytes)

Trakanon's Teeth - The group that invaded Sebilis.  The globe has moving patterns of red glow.  Very cool looking.

Sebilis Entrance Globe.jpg (71783 bytes)

TT  - The same bunch, but with names turned on.

Sebilis Entrance Globe with names.jpg (79707 bytes)

Dreadlands - I jumped off the spires in DL for this night-time shot.  Pretty, eh?   Lorax lived.

lookdown.jpg (58902 bytes)

Burning Wood.  Fun to whack.  One of the Ancients very generously gave Pacer his jacket.

Forest Giant Verdant.jpg (32795 bytes)

Frontier Mountains.  Run Sinneed Run!  A caster with SoW answered Sinneed's question very shortly after this shot.  ROFL

runsinneedrun.jpg (568705 bytes)

Frontier Mountains.  Looking the other way, a better view.

Runsinneedrun2.jpg (620932 bytes)

The Overthere.  Favored prey, until Sarnaks stopped having too many hitpoints.

Prey.jpg (181389 bytes)

Trakanon's Teeth.  Nice place.  Exp seems a bit slow, but The Overthere and Dreadlands have spoiled me.
Notice the cut-way-down clipping plane.  Can you say "lag" boys and girls?

trakanasaur.jpg (109004 bytes)

TT - What a big chicken you have there Skykat!

What a big chicken you have there.jpg (85079 bytes)

Emeral Jungle.  The pets attack!  These things were wimps.  The pets ate them.  Of course if one caught up to me when I was pulling it...well you know which is wimpier:  NPC anything or a wizzie.  Hmm.

Giant frenzied leech.jpg (81118 bytes)

Bruneor's favorite gesture.

Bruneor Rude Gesture.jpg (88746 bytes)

See Wenda, Sky can be trained.  "Play Dead!"

Play Dead!.jpg (51031 bytes)

I had heard about the goblin merchant and the goblin banker since I started EQ.   Sure was neat to see them.  The banker worked with us but the merchie did not like us.  :(

Goblin Merchant in Runnyeye.jpg (74370 bytes)

Thought this was such a fine shot of an IG taking a nuke that I had to put it in.

Ice Giant Cometh.jpg (29124 bytes)

Bruneor finally shows a little respect.  Luckily the text box is turned off so you can't see the /rudes. :)
Sarnak Fortress where the prod dropped for Warhogg.

Bruneor Kneels at the Sarnak Throne.jpg (73742 bytes)

Warhogg with prod, and the mob of us waiting for something to kill.

The Group at the Sarnak Throne.jpg (59923 bytes)

Splat.  Dead Wurm.

Skyfire - a Wurm has fallen.jpg (79425 bytes)

A Wyvern.  Not the Ancient one.

Skyfire - a wyvern.jpg (62950 bytes)

The cool globe. If you click and hold on it, it stops.  No one knows why yet, as far as I know.

Skyfire - Sinneed at the globe and dragon statue.jpg (182968 bytes)

Hehe OK Pacer, loot that!  Actually he managed to loot it just before I got to it.   I ran off the hill with Lev and SoW and managed to get on TOP of the tree.   Fun.

LootThat.jpg (93965 bytes)

A herd of MOB's in Sebilis.  Hehe what a fight!  By the time we finished there were about 12 MOB's dead on the floor.  The amazing thing was how close the fight got, but I don't think we lost even 1 person.

SebilisMoBs.jpg (87115 bytes)

Zazamoukh becoming dead.  Note this was our first attack (pet is up).  Lvl 40 Enchanter.  Dies fast to 2 50's shammies.  Faster if you toss in a blaster. ;)

Zazamoukh.jpg (93447 bytes)

This was such a hilarious bug.  These are in Rathe Mountain, in the HG area, just down from the lizardman camp.

howdoIkillthose.jpg (52007 bytes)

Inside the Sarnak Fortress in Chardok.  The MOBs are casters and will knock you off the bridge and into a bunch of mean MOBs below...if you survive the fight and the fall.  Skykat bit the big one here.  Lev, I think. :)

bridgewithcasters.jpg (87033 bytes)

The golems are supposed to rarely drop nice wisdom ring and earring.  Not for us, though.  Lorax wants to go. :)

Chardoki.jpg (99091 bytes)

A view of the Sarnak fortress in Chardok.  View is from the location of the fight, above.  Zone in hallway is to the right in this image, zone out hallway is to the left.  Wanderers spawn in both halls.  Be aware!

chardokisarnakfort.jpg (97266 bytes)

I cast sight on Skykat and shot this portrait from the balcony of the fortress.   Sky was standing just to the left of the column in the view above.

group portrait.jpg (76021 bytes)

The pleasant Necro in the center of the view summoned Skyrat's corpse.  Very nice of her.  The SK in the background here and on the right above shared very nicely.

Lovethatsummon.jpg (84237 bytes)

This Janisary died just as I took the screenshot.  :)

sarnakbites.jpg (94735 bytes)

I turned particle effects on, just to see what it looks like if you have a FAST system.   Looks good, but unplayably slow for me. :)  Notice the dead Golem sticking out of the wall.

spelleffectson.jpg (103708 bytes)

Same view without the clutter.

spelleffectson2.jpg (76563 bytes)

Hunting the elusive (STILL never seen the lad) Ancient Cyclops.

AC again again.jpg (60344 bytes)

But we had a great time and a MAGNIFICENT sunset.  Well worth it.  Hehe the loot doen't suck either.

AC sunset OK it is worth it.jpg (67280 bytes)

It got really cold in Everfrost this year.  ;)

blockbody.jpg (34372 bytes)

Perma, too!

anotherblockbody.jpg (57284 bytes)

Chaser has you beat in the Biggest Chicken category.

BIG CHICKEN.jpg (103442 bytes)

The DL dragon.  She is apprehensive toward Sinneed now...and she hates wolf form.   Her aggro radius is *HUGE*.  Presently, she can melee from a LONG LONG way off, too.  Her breath spell seemed to do about 600 to Lorax, and she feared him when he had SoW and Lev...made it about half way accross the zone.  He lived.

DL big lizard close.jpg (53500 bytes)

DL big lizard.jpg (69538 bytes)

Monkey swimming accross the Dreadlands.  Too funny to pass up.

Frontier Mointain Giant Fortress.  Lovely really.

FM Giant Fort.jpg (66116 bytes)

Pacer in his normal form.  This was during our hunt for rares in FM.

FM Rares hunt.jpg (84971 bytes)

Burning Woods.  Gullerback disliked cold damage spells, even yellow I often hit for full damage.  He shrugged off my fire and magic attacks, as expected.  He is quite rude.

Gullerbitesthedust.jpg (61894 bytes)

"He's dead, Jim!"

Hesdeadjim.jpg (48539 bytes)

Bars sent this shot of a wurm becoming worm corpse.  Burning Wood.

IncWurm.jpg (53952 bytes)

One third of a wurmslayer, on the hoof, or claw as the case might be.  :)

onethirdofawurmslayer.jpg (81883 bytes)

How I spent my vacation.  Thedoc res'ed me 4 or 5 times as I recall.  Prout only had to summon my corpse 2 times as I recall though.

Plane of Sky how I spent my vacation.jpg (28072 bytes)

People on the Plane of Sky run.

Plane of sky people.jpg (27359 bytes)

Our first victim.  Something attracted the guards, though, and we lost.

Plane of Sky.jpg (19640 bytes)

The guards mentioned above, headed home after whacking someone who offended them.   You must not cast on another PC, or on certain NPC's.  You won't win.

Planeofskyguards close.jpg (14042 bytes)

Another shot, showing more completely WHY you won't win.  They are lvl 58 or so, I am told.  Be nice...or else.

Planeofskyguards.jpg (21231 bytes)

 

The outside of the entry to the disco room.

The entry to the disco area.

Hear no evil, see no evil...and...um...Bruneor.  ;)

seenohearnoandumbruneor.jpg (47667 bytes)

Bars sent this Barb's-eye view of zazamoukh.  The human-related races can't see as much, but OMG what they see sure is beautiful.

27 September 2000 - My RL anniversary, 14 years with the best person in the world!

After the Run.  Drunk, I took these shots.  Good use of the wide angle lens of extreme "you cannot possibly take another drink" drunkeness.

Hate Run September 2000

A haunted chest, getting nuked by several blasters.  :)

I kept forgetting to get into melee range of these to nuke them.  DUH!

Hate Lich 2.jpg (124033 bytes)

Hate Lich Resisting.jpg (140467 bytes)

I cast sight on the pullers.  This is one of the VERY few times this was actually a useful spell.  Fun always, but here I could watch the puller's back.  This is the Maestro's lair.

Hate Maestros room 2.jpg (242359 bytes)

Same image, but with the brightness turned up.

Hate Maestros spot 4.jpg (167187 bytes)

Hate Maestros spot.jpg (165787 bytes)

I only died one (1) time.  I am told by experts that only dieing 1 time on one's first hate raid is pretty rare.  Hats off to Skykat and the rest of the team too.   The only reason I died here is that I underestimated the amount of time the MoB would live before I nuked.  Ooops.

Hate only 1 time WOW.jpg (93961 bytes)

Our 2nd puller and his trainee, Pathwarden came up, and took our excellent SK handbag i mean Iksar along to learn.  They did very well.

Hate puller 2s view.jpg (176510 bytes)

Our first puller.

It was Lumpin's first Hate run.  I thought he was doing quite well til I learned that...then I realized he was doing AMAZINGLY!  Pleasant fellow, too.

Hate puller.jpg (107412 bytes)

Random shots of the view as he pulled.

Hate pullers view 2.jpg (165343 bytes)

Hate pullers view 3.jpg (205852 bytes)

This one is interesting. Lumpin is just a head of the Lich.  The Lich will see through his invis momentarily.  This is one of those times when I was actually useful.  "Lich RIGHT BEHIND YOU>  INC!"

Hate pullers view 4.jpg (228145 bytes)

More shots.

Hate pullers view.jpg (167959 bytes)

After we moved to the "safe spot", and as our numbers were dwindling.

Hate running out of folks near dawn IRL.jpg (164532 bytes)

The "Southwest corner safe spot."  It is sorta SW and sorta safe, in that no roamers come there...but you must stay knotted up like we are in the image above.

Hate SW corner safe spot.jpg (259506 bytes)

Forming up in Lesser Faydark.  The Spam was too bad to form up in Greater Faydark.

Hatepreplfay.jpg (55447 bytes)

Moving from the zone in room to the SW corner?

Haterunningtoswcorner.jpg (79433 bytes)

The zone in room, after our 1 and only mass death there.  This was very contrary to "expert" opinion.  I did not think it would matter, I expected to die repeatedly, as I was a Hate newbie.  Ah well, in this I was glad to be disappointed.   :)

Hatezonein badpull 2.jpg (142089 bytes)
