another interesting day for SotaBard.
Got a party for Garuda Prime yesterday, had WHM, RDM, RDM, BRD, PLD, SAM. Not the most balanced, but it seemed like we could take it.
So, we go off, and finnaly arrive at the Cloister of Wind. I'll tell you what, though, cape terrigan scared the **** out of me...
We had lost a RDM since he couldn't get in, so we were trying with 5 people. Needless to say, I recall only getting it down to about 3/4 HP Before we all died horribly >.>
So, we wait on another WHM to come, and try again... except the WHM didn't have the fork and we died again >.< Yarg >.< I think there may have been a replacement, but I can't recall it... oh, and garuda murdered us by 2-hour. (took out 3 of us, leaving only 2 alive who died instantly.)
Last try: WHM, BRD, PLD, SAM, BLM, RDM. This time we did everything correctly, Mages up on the ledge, paladin down below, hate evenly balanced. Everything goes great except for around 65% HP
Sotaka: So... when do I 2-hour?
BLM: LS said around 65% HP.
Sotaka: So... now?
BLM: Yes... go...
Soul Voice, Wind Carol, and it lands--- just as Garuda decides it's time to 2-hour. Paladin lives, Samura Lives, Sotabard down! >_< owchy... Even with Baraera up too...
So they keep fighting, I get raised when it's almost dead, and run away as far as possible to keep ballad up on the mages. Overall, it was a great fight, and I finnaly got Garuda for my level 1 SMN >.> Fear garuda.
SotaBard out for more adventures! :)
