Screenshots... and a story! (FFXI)

So there I was, bored out of my mind Campaigning, when drusies_pet /tell'ed me asking if I wanted to wrangle a worm. After blushing like a schoolgirl at her outrageous flirting, it became clear that she meant kill an actual mob. And kill it we did! ...eventually and with a few deaths. :D



I'm not sure if that counts as a HNM, but yay! My first big-mob title! By the end we had 18 people, though one was a clueless taru asking us over and over how to get to the past and then having to run because he didn't have that most basic maw. But even with the many randoms we had picked up, we killed it! Yay!

At one point the taru PLD died and the worm decided it was time for Thistle Snacks. I died once, but no worries! I tried to get a shot of its full body so people could see what it looked like, but it was hard since most of my time I was trying to stay at its side. (Behind was bad, it did some kind of tail attack.)

No drop of course (it has no drops), but yay title!

And other screenshots~

You've heard of the Circle of Life? How about the circle of death~? Looks like the mob we were fighting exploded, but it was really a passing Warmachine.

This freaks me out every time I ride by it: Am I the only person who sees a face here? I copied that box and painted it next to it -- it's hard to outline things with a mouse! It looks like a cross between a rabbit and a viking to me...

I don't keep weather turned on enough, look how pretty and realistic that sky is!

And man, I <3 gnoles! Best mobs in the game. Coolest design ever! And don't mind the dead me under his paws.

The sandworm, for some reason, makes me think of Zone Eater from FF6 even though it looks nothing at all like it. Also... Warmachine, eh? Do they happen to bear any resemblence to the affectionately named Warmech of the original Final Fantasy (http://collector.5gigs.com/ff1/chap7/warmechfight.gif)? ;)

Hm, not really! Here's a picture of one: http://www.hot-hot-hot-catlove.com/ffxi/09-16-2005-machine.jpg :)

I ended up not getting the title because I invited one of my friends when a person d/ced, but he came back, and since he was one of the original people with it, I dropped and had them get him. Oh well, there'll be other sandworms. =p

Oh that sucks. Those two people who couldn't get there should have been dropped. :( *pats lots*

Cool! How did you guys find the worm in the first place? And where is that? Rolanberry[S]?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yep, Rolanberry[S]! Though I saw it in Gusta_S a week or so ago, too.

It's pretty big and right near Campaign, so maybe someone just spotted it?

[achika-soladia.livejournal.com]

It was closer to the maw originally, that guy that I gave my spot up to was the one who dragged it to the Campaign tower. Apparently he was shouting for people to come kill it.

Ha ha. If we had wiped to it, it could have aggroed all the campaign people once the battle ended! Fun for all? :P
