Our 26th GRB

I must start out with an apology about being so late, been trying really hard to reach UM while I could party with Stand's def , and I finally do have UM . Well, about GRB Saturday. I was really tired Saturday and to that, combined with the passing of time, I will blame any forgetfulness on .

Well, we gathered at the Keo blacksmith half an hour to GRB start (3pm EST) and got into our parties. We continued organizing and laying battle plans according to who had shown up until we entered GRB. We had a GREAT crowd and I want to extend a big thanks to all who came . Stand, my little bro (filling in for Bran, who, unfortunately, couldn't make GRB that day), Lore, Dawn, Tim (Dawn's son), Kuma, Ash, Jeff, Demon, James, Tamao, Fi (great to have Fi back with us), Jas, Blison, Anty, and myself .

We first took down red boss, Kalion. Due to some rec that Jeff's UM fighter has, I once again lost hold of Kalion and she killed Jeff , but he was able to come back as his archer .

Blis and the rest of Blue Team, Stand, Lore, Satan, and maybe some others (there's my memory haha), started for the lvl 15 section, but things didn't go quite right. Stand, starting on his archer, ended up seperated and died, unfortunately he was too far away to be resd in time and so went back and got his priest. Despite this Blue Team made it the rest of the way and took down boss, Silvanus. Then they continued to kill mobs.

DCs plagued us Saturday. James was the first to dc early on. Then, about just over halfway through, Satan and Lore dcd. Being withou a mage was not good for Blue Team, but Anty showed up with his UM lvl 15 mage and helped them out.

I wanted to try Rogue Team, as we had a lot of fighters, but the higher lvld ones had either died or dcd, so they had to stick with Red Team. Red Team did fine, except for a certain archer's trigger finger (you knew I'd say something, Jeff lol, but I'm not using your line haha) and a couple of tricky respawns, but we kept our UM priest (Ash) alive, sometimes at the risk of other party members' lives . She and Fi did a very good job keeping everyone healed, I want to say an appreciative thinks to Fi, as this was her first experience in the new Raid/Union Parties.

Hope you all had as much as I did and I will certainly try to make next week's report more promptly lol. I do apologize . We made well over 12 k points and regained our place the guild lists . We are ranked 33rd again! We have collected over 100 extra Etin besides the combined 200 Etin from bosses which gives us around 2800 Etin now, total .

Again, thank you all SO much for coming to GRB . Hope to see you all tomorrow .

I'm looking forward to tomorrow now. Yay, I LOVE weekends.

33rd now, and who knows where we'll be after tomorrow. So all those guildies with an appropriate toon (lvls 15-30), please join us tomorrow in GRB.

Thanks once again for another great report Zaha, and thanks to your little bro for the screenies . I had lots of fun (nothing new there lol) as usual I'd like to thank everyone who took part and made it fun for all . And of course it's really great to have you back with us Fi, I think you did a great job of healing everyone despite it being your first time using the raid system, being in 16-30 section and using a priest; I know how much you love your fighters lol and as most people know there's a big difference between playing a strong fighter and a squishy lol. So I just wanted to say a special thank you to you Fi I know I couldn't have healed as well without you.

Thanks Jas. I hope we (RH) do as well this afternoon (and perhaps even better.)
