Ah, I remember an event back in the older days. I was still playing Summoner and there was a huge group out in the near west Rawlins. There was a pesky goblin shaman on a ridge where the meleers couldnt get to, rallying goblin archers and other weaker shamans. The lead shaman was powerful, throwing big spells that only very high lvls could get, which was awe inspiring in those days. I remember Kull, Cike, and Vine where there, with lots of others, but those three I remember. Kull was shouting threats to the shaman and such, like he would normally do . Cike was just shooting once at the shaman then ducking back into the trees. Vine followed Cike's tactics. Summoner manages to get right at the base of the ridge/cliff thing. He also tossed up summoned creatures, distracting the archers from shooting for a few moments. It also forced the shaman to waste spells on the summoned creatures wailing on him.
Finally, the shaman was weakened enough and Vine fired that last fatal arrow. The battle had lasted a few hours in RL time, but it was one of the funnest a first long events Summoner had been in, and could actually be useful with summons (Cause they are kinda weak at lvl 1-3). And the strange thing is, Summoner survived. The weak and pale wizard survived while some strong high levels died. I was probably the most reckless too, running up to that ridge and throwing summons, but the friendly adventurers with bows saved him.
Those days were incredibly fun. Just being at lvl 5-6 and playing with low level buddies. Good times…. good times....
