Caduceas Rise
By: Jewelyn
Tonight I went on my cleric Jewelyn into Caduseas Rise for the first time (i have no idea if i spelled that right). I went w Vanagloria, and Brasa, and Brumb, it was my first time in this particular dungeon as well as being Brasa and Brumb's first dungeon experience. So I asked Vana, as any "good" cleric should what I should expect from the bosses in this dungeon. Vana said w a laugh "Are you kidding? I'm a damage dealer, I point and shoot, and say 'I'm sorry' after I wipe the squad. I don't pay attention to what the bosses do." He was to be our tank... I laughed too. I was not terribly worried tho. Since he and I sit next to each other communication is fairly easy, and he and I work rather well together with me healing him as a tank. We had a lot of fun. I laughed a lot and so did Vana (I know since I sit next to him). We had a few mishaps, which were amusing, for instance, Vana ran past the first boss entirely... Ran right past the platform it was on. When he realized what he had done he started to laugh and said stay away from the platform. I said "what platform?" and looked around. Cuz when I'm healing I follow closely behind the tank and squad. I do try to look around and be aware of my surroundings, but the first time in a new dungeon I miss a lot of stuff. Sure enough there was a huge boss right there, lol. Big, fat, ugly, thing just standing on his platform ignoring us (good thing he was ignoring us). So Vana says "Oh Look a Boss!!!". And Brasa says "Ohh My!" and that made me laugh!!! And me and Vana started to feel bad for the mage who got stuck w us as a PUG LOL!!!!! Hopefully he sat back and enjoyed the ride hee hee. So we jumped in and attacked this big fat ugly boss w no instructions on what he does. So as he threw down his "puddles of death" as Vana later reffered to them, people died. So after the boss died I rezed up the gang, got us all healed and died... and looked around to see what on earth happened...and couldn't see what killed me... i said "Wow what happened...?" No-one had an answer, so i looked in the combat log. The boss that was dead, that had been dead, had been laying there on the platform dead the whole time i rezed 3 people and then brought the whole squad to full health killed me...!!! Silly boss he just had to have the last word i guess. Anyways the run was mostly a very smooth run after this w nothing really exciting other then Vana having to stop and give us speeches all the time. Which is fun too cuz his speeches are so amusing lol. He has a great sense of humor. When we got to the last boss we wiped a few times before we got it right. Over all it was a great run!!!
