So I've been on Promy-Vahzl for a year now, different things like my schedule, a static breaking, etc keeping me from really making a big push to get to sea. But just recently I joined a static put together by Sheladaris from my linkshell, United. But before we could get anything done, two members ditch us and move on ahead, so our plan goes down the crapper.
But today we decide that we're going to do it. We get help from 2 of our friends, and shout for the last two spaces. We get our anima, potions, etc, and head out.
To be perfectly honest, we did not have a strategy. I had never done it before, neither had Shel, Burne had beat it and Meathook and Sabiann had gotten to the last floor. But Clayburn had a map, and we knew where to go for the three mini-bosses. Clay led the way, and the rest of us followed. We did pretty good except for Meathook getting multiple Wanderer aggros on each floor.
By the second mini-boss, Meathook is criticizing us for letting him die and having no strategy. Others died, but he's the only one complaining. And it's nothing constructive like "You have to pay more attention to poison" or "We need a little more strategy, we're getting fucked". No it's things like:
Until then I hadn't really been actively leading, cause we pretty much knew what we were aiming for and we had all done promys before and we were doing ok. Not great. I admit I didn't do a lot of research into it, my bad, I didn't try to pretend like I knew everything. But that wasn't good enough. you can see the whole sad affair in full here in 3 easy installments.

Three
It got so bad that we begged help from on of our linkshell members who could just come to the top. Because Meathook "couldn't be arsed with this shit". I kept asking him if he still wanted to finish, but he never gave me a straight answer. Just "I don't care now". I asked him one last time, he said he didn't care, so I kicked him, and replaced him with our ls ninja. It's the first time I've ever been mad enough to actually boot someone from a pty, in three years of playing this and dealing with assholes. And as a sweet cherry on top of the whole steaming pile, I get this /tell.
That made me laugh, at least. It was a fitting fucking end to Promys.
And we beat the boss, first try, no deaths. Tyvm.
Sorcha out.
