[Group][Burnzurfais]: go
[Guild][Dave]: I did that once
[Guild][Dave]: Had num lock on
Ialdir and his pet owl, which seemed to be called Small Mangy Owl16, went to the ledge and sat down next to Solace.
[Guild][Heurodis]: Once I jumped down because i was trying to show there was an invisible wall and you couldnt fall off it
[Guild][Solace]: I know. I was there
[Guild][Heurodis]: I was getting mixed up with the oubliettein FK back in vanilla
[Guild][Jargogle]: Oh, have you been playing since vanilla, Bjorn? I didn’t know because you never mention it.
[Group][Burnzurfais]: gogogo
[Group][Solace]: I never get tired of this view
It had been a while since Drew had even bothered looking at it. He sent Ella to join the others and tilted his mouse so he could see right down into the fiery chasm.
[Yell][The Forge Master]: MORE STEEL, MORE FIRE, MORE SERVANTS FOR THE GREAT MACHINE!
[Group][Burnzurfais]: gogogo
[Group][Ialdir]: you’d think he’d have enough servants by now
[Group][Solace]: I love how it’s the Great Machine. Like, how good is this machine? Pretty great.
[Yell][Ialdir]: MORE STEEL, MORE FIRE, MORE SERVANTS FOR THE ADEQUATE MACHINE
[Group][Orcarella]: lol
[Group][Solace]: Well you wouldn’t want to worship a machine with self-esteem issues
[Group][Burnzurfais]: what the fuk is wrong with u fukin noobs
[Group][Solace]: Just taking time to smell the lava17
[Group][Burnzurfais]: ffs
[Group][Orcarella]: Ok, lets just finish this. If we skip Gabraxis and Irontongue and go straight to Pyrite we’ll be done in about 20 mins.
[Group][Burnzurfais]: kk
[Guild][Solace]: But I like doing the optionals. I don’t feel I’ve had a good day unless I’ve been impaled by Irontongue’smighty shaft.
Ialdir ran around in circles, very nearly falling into the furnace.
[Yell][Ialdir]: IMPALED!!!
Drew’s Dr Pepper was suddenly all over his keyboard.
[Group][Orcarella]: shit, sec
He cleaned up after himself, still grinning and not sure why this wasn’t the worst dungeon run he’d been on in months. Then he settled back down, marshalled his merry band, and led them deeper into the furnace. The next few packs of mobs went down fairly smoothly. Burnzurfais was still bad at avoiding damage and worse at keeping quiet about it, but he’d stopped pulling and hadn’t actually died again, so it seemed like they were making progress.
The party turned left into the rough-hewn cavern where Pyrite stood around waiting obligingly for adventurers to come and kill him. The entrance was swarming with tiny golden rocklings. Drew knew from experience that they exploded when they died. When the patch had first come out, you’d had to take them down one at a time so the damage didn’t spike too much, but a tier and a half later, Orcarella had enough health to eat it twice over.
