Is there a story, need a rescue or anything you'd like to share?

Hehe :) We were diving pretty succesfully using teamspeak, until that faithfull night. Not only we ditched TS, level of dopes in blood was pretty high too. Anyways, it became a bit boring at 1800, so we started scumming for vaults.. Or was it death scumming for us? Originally that vault seen in the dumps was occupied by some minor monsters.. some with summoning abilities obviously.

My stupid plan was to STM the entrance and then move into anti-summoning corridor, Dopario was waiting in the ASC nearby. But it happend too fast, and I'm blind & afraid in no time. Trying to use my teleport staff.. only to realize it was destroyed in my previous battle. So I die :) Meanwhile, summoining chain-reacted to bring Ren, Medusa and Gorlim upon Dopario, and he was blinked inside the vault too.

We decided, that since we both had some backup gear and died by our own fault, dungeon deserved some equipment sacrifices. Thanks for all the rescue offers tho, it's appreciated :)

P.S.

Uh, there's a reason that vault is named "Zoo of Concentrated Death (Death by spam, lucky 13x13...)". All of the monsters in it are '8's (and there are 25 of them!), the baddest boyz of the dungeon. I betcha you didn't look closely enough at the "minor monsters"...

Oh, so that is the (in)famous "Zoo of Concentrated Death" ! I heard a lot about it, but never saw it before (yeah, I suck) :) I guess, you're right, the inspection wasn't that close actually, but it looked pretty calm.. Well, another lesson learned !

To take down a party of fierce adventurers, all it takes sometimes is a single Ogre Shaman :)
