Destination..? Danger, Dirt, Death, Deceit!
The frisky W'S, Coventry Guards, and KGB get a spanky

(Seige Perilous - Deceit) As stories often go, there are times when a group of people get together and then do something that's, well ..- lets say they do some things that sound good at the time but are not very wise. We gathered a small group in the Swamp to answer Coventry's warning call. Mayor Luxor called KGB for assistance against a possible Criminal Element raid, since they were scouting the area around this fair city. Naturally, we responded, and on our way to Minoc were joined suddenly by our good friends Disciple and Zahrim of W'S - who always appear when least expected. Excited by our small but pumped up group - we headed to Coventry.

Unfortunately, CE had left the area. I say unfortunate, because we got dressed up for battle, and had no date - so to speak. So the bright idea is shouted out among us to raid Deceit. Group psychology or Mob mentality, whatever you call it, had taken control and before I knew it - our brave but foolish group was in Occlo preparing to gate to Deceit.

We had about 15 at first. Those with some intelligence left quietly. W'S is fearless, as were the Coventry Guards- Evak wasn't fearless - Evak was just plain stupid hehe.

Bah!

In typical military thinking, I told my friends No, after it was too late anyway. We were here to kick some booty and get some looty!

Into the breach....dear friends.

You have to love the ones who always state the obvious, every group has at least one. Now, Id love to show you what happened next but I was too busy running and laughing for screens - hahaha.

Still laughing... there was like 15 reds in there, boy were we asking for it!

Amanda never said if that Holy Crap was b/c we got annihilated or b/c we went in the first place.

Juo and I, ressed and ready to gate! Oops!, Hey Juo!!, UDL hates the color of your robe!

Amazingly, I charmed my way out of death. Hehe, more like they took pity on me.

Im sad to say it, but that trip was fun as hell.

A warm thank you goes to Amanda and Sistro of CAT for getting us out of there. I was nervous how the UDL were staring at my err, bottom. Someone did say ..Gimp.

(Side Note) -The best part of our trip was the simplest of experiences. I returned to UO on SP after almost a year away from the game. I had not returned to Deceit since I started playing again, and the whole experience was creepy. The whole trip inside felt like I was in a new game, one I had never played before. Deceit was dark, every room we passed by I could see 50 UDL hiding behind ready to pounce, our poor ghost spy was yelling and sending so many ICQs that it felt as scary as a damn horror movie. It was so much fun, all I could do was run and laugh even as I got pummeled by seemingly never ending ebolts and flamestrikes. I have never been more excited about playing UO then after that fateful trip - it may still be Ultima Online, but it sure is fun again.
