Well... You wanna hear about a "Big-Ass Train"? Check this out...
Last year or so... Back when I was a Lv. 46 Warrior... I decided, just for the hell of it, that I'd go to Palborough Mines with Garvin (White Mage, Hume) ...
I went all the way up to the top floor of Palborough Mines... I had WHM subbed because I did alot of Soloing.
So, I was up there, just bumpin' off Quadavs one by one... And if you're familiar with Palborough Mines' map layout, you know how it's filled with gates, and / or lattices with Quadavs on the other side...
So, knowing how enemies can walk through walls (Most of the time) I decided to be slick and cast Dia on a Quadav on the other side of the gate...
Of course, I pissed it off... And I saw it link with one other Quadav. So I figured "A Two Quadav Fight... I can solo this with ease, lol".
...I swear to god, I'm not even lying to you... that Quadav went down a corridor, and I didn't see it for about FIVE WHOLE MINUTES.
...Finally, the two Quadavs catch up to me.
I see one, and the other one right behind it. So I start fighting...
But then another one came out from the corridor behind it... followed by another...
and another...
and another...
and another...
and another...
and another...
I guess they took the LONG way around... and must've linked 25+ additional Quadavs.
So I figured "It's time to start running..." and I ran! I ran through the gate... past the Mine Gravel machine... Through the halls... past the large room with the pile of rubble... down the tunnel... down the slopes... with the Quadavs hot on my nimble Elvaan heels.
They were linking EVERY Quadav behind me...
25 became 50 ... and 50 became 100... (I swear to you, this is NO exaggeration) ...
I finally drop down to the first floor...
And in a panicked, mush-mouth stammer, I say:
/s Bwjfwjfjwfjf GAVRIN ffjiw RUN!!!!!!11111111111111111111 QUAVAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111
Garvin looks at me, puzzled... He sees 2 ... then 5 Quadavs run out of the tunnel behind me... And looks at me and says:
"Is that it...?"
Then he sees the REST of them pour out... a train of 150+ strong...
I just start BOOKIN' IT!
And I get so INCREDIBLY panicked, I actually FORGET which way I was supposed to turn to get out...!
The Quadavs catch up to me... and the lag is INCREDIBLE...
They aren't even Quadavs anymore. I'm just being chased by a huge Red & Brown CENTIPEDE...
I'm being SPAMMED with sword strikes ... Poisons... Bios... Dias... Banishes... Somehow, I manage tu turn around and navigate my way through the big brown blob...
The Centipede got bigger when even MORE Quadavs were trained into it... it was about 250 to 300 strong now...
I even passed up lowbies leveling up near the entrance... they see the train behind me and they're like: "Oh... SHIT!!!!!!!!!111111111"
I FINALLY get out... but BARELY...
I went from about 700 or 800 HP... to 3 HP remaining!!!
My GOD... I damn near pissed my pants...
I NEVER wanna go through that again!!!!
