Cleaned in the house all day Saturday...
Relaxed all day Sunday & had a BBQ...
Worked all day Monday...
Congrats on the new house! -
Sorry I did not make it last night - I was having bad back pain & was having difficulty sitting up straight...
If anyone is interested, I will probably at least run the Twilight Son TF after the Mender Silos TF on Wednesday - I need to catch up in level range with Beauty for next week's TF. -

Strike Force Info & Stats:
- This Strike Force requires an 8-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
- 6 missions (1 talk to)
- Badge(s): Servant of Recluse, Master/Mistress of Olympus, Annihilator, Master of Lord Recluse's Strike Force for No Deaths/No Temp Powers (no guarantees of course :smirk: ) plus progress towards the Monkeywrencher badge for Zeus Titans
- Merit Reward: 25
- This Strike Force (by necessity) will probably be limited to just one team, and we have had overages the past couple of times we ran – I do try to be fair about holding spots based on the sign-up order, but it is not always possible & I hope there will be no hard feelings.
- Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
- First Mission: Completely clear to all of the doors - including the turrets. The Scientist location can be ascertained by checking the number of red objective points in each door (3 yes/2 no). Wait for & clear the ambushes (3) after kidnapping the scientist (you may need to move him to the door to get the ambushes to spawn. Clear the left side to Crimson - Pets on passive to avoid Hero agro until we are set.
- Second Mission: In the water to the Khronos Titan. Clear around the nearby mobs & take out the Titan. Clear the mob in front of the door. Stealth & TP to the end area if possible, if not stick together & clear. Clear the two areas before opening up the door. After aggroing the Slinger, try to clear the surrounding mobs before taking him down to make it less hectic for when he spawns his bots.
- Fourth Mission: After talking to Grillo (Third Mission), move to the base of the Atlas Statue. We may need to clear some nearby mobs first. Pull to the front foot of the statue (furthest from the Heroes). Pull/Kill order: Numina, Sister Psyche, Manticore, BABs subject to pulling circumstances.
- Fifth Mission: Clear to the Vindicator door, while the rest of the team sets up back down the hall, someone stealthy should open the door. Pull/Kill order: Malaise, Swan, Luminary, Mynx, Valkyrie (x2) subject to pulling circumstances. Clear to the glowie. Set-up & wait for the ambush (we usually go back to the main hall by the large room). Clear to Ms Liberty. Use the rifle on her & take her down.
- Sixth Mission: Clear to the right side of the Atlas Statue (to avoid any cross agro). Stay together & keep buffs/debuffs running. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Numina, Synapse. Clear to the left side of the Atlas Statue. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Sister Psyche, Manticore. From here, we can determine which side to pull from next & which hero to pull. Of course this is all subject to pulling circumstances.Apparently if Statesman is mentally undressing Numina, it will result in an “All-Pull” situation.If this occurs, we will determine a strategy - perhaps logging out to reset the mission & hoping for a better distribution of the heroes. Conversely, we my try the sleep & pull method if we have the right team make-up.
- This is still a work in progress…so please chime in with ideas!

Thanks for coming out last night everyone! It was a lot of fun!
Team #1 ran on level 3 difficulty. We took our time during the first SF (it was Turg's first run & he wanted to read all the bios & such as we went along).
Mender Tesseract: Stat Box
Mender Tesseract - Team #1:
Mr E-Mech: Bots/Traps Mastermind
Operative Delvechio.: Crab
Flaming Lunatica: Fire/Psi Dominator
sneaky drogoh: ???/??? Stalker
Coldest Daughter: Ice/Cold Corruptor
1 hr 9 mins - 4 deaths (2 were me in 2 consecutive mobs during the first mission - guess I had to remember how to play this character)
---------------------------------------------------
For Mender Lazarus SF, due to the level range difference, we had a couple of people switch off to different characters:
We stayed on level 3 difficulty & this SF went as smoothly as I had ever seen it completed.
Mender Lazarus - Team #1:
Mr E-Mech: Bots/Traps Mastermind
Operative Delvechio.: Crab
Mercy Blackwell: Ninja/Pain Mastermind
Militant Brute: SS/WP Brute
Coldest Daughter: Ice/Cold Corruptor
I accidentally clicked off on the stat box, but I was told that we were at 59 min & under the 5 death mark. (I died just once during one of Vandal's ambushes).
Mender Lazarus: Team Pic
Thanks again for joining everyone! It was a lot of fun as always!
Next weekend's TF/SF will be on Friday Night (my static team needed to switch to Saturday night) and I'm thinking a nice MoLRSF run will be the order of business. I'll post it up in the Mr E-Man's MoLRSF Thread later today.
Thanks again everyone & thanks to MB for "volunteering" to lead Team #2 . -
Quote:...I'm going to have to get some charges back on my Rez Ally Day Job temp power...I used about 10-12 charges over the last two nights... :smirk:Quote:What you had a ally rez and didnt use it for me? Thats ok, guess we could try a healer person out.
Mr E-Being is a full service warshade... -
Quote:I think I used one acc insp when I used mass confusion...lol yeah, we took careful to the extreme. We could have even run that on Invincible and not had a problem. I think that should be one of the Mo requirements... along with a time limit and no inspirations (not that we needed them anyway. ROFL!)
I also did not realize/remember (until after we finished) that I had recently done a respec on Master TimeLord & about 80% of my slots were empty... :smirk: -

I should be good to join for this one as well - TBA on who I will bring.

Lots of fun!
Sorry I started to get a bit tired there near the end...found myself running against a tunnel wall a couple times... -
Just to give an update, I am planning on taking my Warshade (Mr E-Being) tonight - I have him parked by Faathim.
If we are desperate for something, I will switch off to whatever is needed (if I can). -
Quote:Well, the last person they picked up (Nhytshade) was a friend of Radio-Octave, so they probably would not have wanted to split up anyway...at least that is what I am telling myself...Thanks to First Son and Drogoh for leading this team! It's always a hard time getting a team leader at the last minute.
Captain Power is not a Rad/Sonic Defender. He's a blaster of some kind (sorry CP! I just don't have it memorized yet)
But I'd like to point the above list out to Mr E...... Note the *2* Rad's on that team :smirk:
Great going everyone!
Luna -
Pfft..well sure - 3 Rads & a real tank...who set up these teams anyway?
-
Quote:lol - we are trying to get Luna's fps down under 1 frame per second...WOW! didn't see all those MM....I may switch to my crab Operative Delvechio. or my widower Blakk Dogg Terror.
Edit:
Also, depending on the level ranges of everyone that comes out, I may switch off to my dom for Lazarus since she is in the upper 30s (I think 38 or 39) for mentoring purposes. -
Quote:Congratulations once again Luna!
It was a fun night, although the first mission was a bit rough for Team #1 - Fake-Nosferatu proved more than a match for us. But eventually after (quite) a few deaths, we were able to take him down.
Things went a bit better from that point on - we had some deaths along the way, but no more major issues.
I would like to point out that I claimed first death yet again - in the first mission before any villains were killed! Top that! I moved into the center of the group by the City Hall doors & promptly did NOT hit eclipse as I had intended...not sure what I actually hit, but I was dead 2 seconds later...
As far as Reichsman goes - he wasn't so bad until he used his lightning attack (which I am told has very poor accuracy, but never failed to hit me & stun me through dwarf form...) Luckily stygian return recharges fairly quickly...

Thanks again to 1st Son for leading Team #2 (along with drogoh's help)!

Any requests, post here & I see what we can do. If not, I will have something up by tomorrow. -
Reposting this as a reminder that this is scheduled for tonight!
We should have 2 full teams running, so I will need a volunteer to lead Team #2...anybody...Bueller?

I am good for both as usual with Beauty in a Bubble...can't wait to try out my phantasm - as I mentioned before, this is the first time I've played either the Illusion or Force Field power sets past lvl 7...

Quote:That's a good idea!Joe, Why don't *you* run the arc that Thursday (the 24th) to celebrate his birthday? Do an official sign up for it?
Back in January I harrassed Mr E into running a TF on my birthday.It's always fun! Plus that arc has good merits, so it'll be like running a TF!
Luna
I think I have a couple chars that haven't completed Crimson's Arc with that I could join with. -
If we do not have any no-shows, you can have my spot - I have the badge on all of my chars & I was just doing it for the fun of it. So come on by & you will have a spot.
