Another Week Another Jailer of Love

So this week we went after another JoL, but the real excitment came with our Jailer of Prudence. This bastard didn't want to die today. He decided he wanted to kill Kujo prematurely and then came to join his brother in crime. At one point our Leader called a whip, but Dreams is too stubborn to wipe and wiping meant no JoL and no JoL meant that we couldn't fight to try to get Ryne's Love Torque. Dreams loves Ryne and that something we just couldn't do. So after several sac pulls people regroupped and the Prudence was killed.


Then it was time for the real fun, Jailer of Love. We did much better this time in a way, the first 50% was very smooth, but due to tank switching and unluck chamrs it got rough at the end. In the end it took us 2 hours and 45 minutes, and went down with no Love Torque. There was no climatic AV fight or anything even though we had another LS named Bourbon on standby for us to be the first to kill on Leviathan just in case. In the end JoL dropped a Novio Earring for our boy G. Congrats G and maybe you can let me borrow it sometime *wink*

Bob ftw!!!

If you thought that the title implied we killed alot of NMs, I'm sorry to disappoint you. It started with the need on an Ix'DRG. I was in serious need of sleep and Ix'DRG hunting it almost as bad as programming for 12 hours. We needed this NM for another try at Jailer of Love and another chance at Ryne's Love Torque. After an hour and a half the IX pops for us and within 3 minutes we had zerged it down. The next couple of sequences was made of win. It started with Ryne asking use what we wanted to do next and this is the reply:

Shortly after that we head to Jailer of Fortitude and pop it. The fight went very smoothly with no death and almost slept through it, and that when it happened!

W00t, I had predicted the future and Bob is now the proud owner of a Fortitude Torque, so Congrats Bob and let's get some more Dreams!

The Beginning

I decided to come back to Leviathan after a 3-4 month stay at Midgardsormr. I was ran off of Leviathan before for helping RMTs. I don't know why I came back, maybe partly because a woman I was in love with said they come back, and partly because I was tired of the people of Midgard. There were some great people there but a majority of them were very immature and full of drama. Anyways that the preset of the return of Darton.


My first moments back to Leviathan were full of panic because of my rush back to Leviathan I had lost over 500k of equip to keeping items in my mog house. I had come back as more of a start and end at the same place, but I was going to try it again. After a week or so I ran into this dude name Gamover in an XP party. He was a haidateless NIN but I wasn't going to hold it against him. I told him I was interested in an all-purpose LS with more stuff gear towards sea and he pointed me in the direction of Dreams. I saw the leader of Dreams was this dude named Ryne, I remembered him but wasn't sure from where, I just knew he was one of the cool people. Three days after that I was finally in Dreams and my life on Leviathan was back! My first mission was in Dynamis in Sandy were we totally faced those Orcs, and then I was finally accepted. Since then things have been some sailing, and I haven't thought of leaving once, which I usually do within a few days in an NA LS.


Today was the first BIG test for the LS when they went for there first successful Jailer of Love. My job was to be a wrangler for JoL's summons. To be honest this was totally boring as I wanted to tank or be a SMN DD, but hey it for the good of the LS. After the first 9 sets of babies the DD went in and got a big cluster fuck of TP to JoL and nearly wiped us. After 30 minutes of wtfs, we settled down and go to work. Around 60% was the next big scare as Bob and Kujo (our tanks) both went down leaving me as the only PLD there, but having to be the wrangler it would of been too much trouble to try to disband from my group. thinking fast I told my RDM Rysus to take over my job and I went in and spammed Cure IVs and IIIs on anyone who was draw in by JoL as well as doing my JAs. It went unclaimed at this time but I knew if I was to claim it here it would cause even more trouble so I fought the urge to Flash it and eventually we recovered. The next 60% went smoothly and in a hour it was dead.


This is where the real fun began, as dictated at 20% of remaining life everyone was to pass items not to be lotted within 30 seconds of it's death. This request was failed by two members, with one of the members having a history of lotting after everyone passes to try to get an item, which is a practice known as ninja lotting. Maybe this fight may have not began if not for Absolute Virtue handing down justice! In a way I wonder if it popped for justice to be handed down and see where people truely thought of each other, irnoic you could say. Either way after that fight Dreams has lost 2 members and the total may go up, but in the end I think that it may help the LS, so we can find the true loyalities. As for the other person who didn't pass, he was killed quickly by AV and therefore unable to pass, and was forgiven.


To end my first post here is a small picture of our LS after RR'd posing with the one and only AV, and also a big shoutout to our big winners today Kujo on Novio Earring, and Alizia on our Love Halberd. Go Dreams!!!
