Whats the biggest train you've pulled and lived through?

[Jerry Austin]

Hail Fellow Wizardy Players,
Just this afternoon i was playing and accidently pulled my first wizardy8 train,i was in the wilderness trying to get to arnika when i walked up on a group of men and decided to back up right smack into another..cool i think il just go left and right smack into another...found a crevice in a mountain and took my stand there.What i faced was the following:

2 higardi cutpurses
3 " roustabouts
3 " highwaymen
7 " highwaymen
3 " highwaymen
6 " highwaymen

totalling 24 monsters on 6 lowlevels but hey i lived,got 16,000 some xps. and i got to say my bard really shined with those pipes of piercing.Just this this might lead to an interesting topic.
Oh by the way does anyone know how to take a screenshot in the game i looked in the options menu and the manual but couldnt find nothing on the subject.

Ack, Everquest d00d lingo is entering the RPG vernacular.

Nice fight! Those are the ones that last, and last, and...

To take a screenshot just hit your keyboard's Print Screen key. The shot will be saved to your Wizardry 8 main folder. The Screenshots are labeled Wiz800000.JPG, Wiz800001.JPG, etc. You can also launch a graphics editor program (before or after taking the screenshot) and simply paste the in-memory shot directly.

actually, tedium, that's one of a few "d00d w3rds" that i think is highly descriptive and should be in the rpg vernacular. ever since the first time it happened to me, it's been burnt into my neural net. and thank the goddess we don't haveta deal with "kill stealing" and the like.

V***V


ps: LOL, oh yeah! my train.

heading northwards on the arnika road, just because i hadn't checked it out yet.

my group=level 9-ish

1 "Hogar" (400 hps! my god)
8 soldier ants
4 ants
1 queen ant
2 poison seekers
4 shreiking bats
2 bats
4 walking flowers
1 cultist w/ 3 elementals

27 opponents

NOTE:
the flowers and cultist jumped me when my last opponents,2 bats i had cast 'terror' on, were flying away down the road. the combat music was still on, i was watching the bats fly away and got snuck up on by a huge fireball and a water ellie. LOL! so to me, they count. but officially they might not.

Mine was in Bayjin, right when I came out of the water.

There's a Standard (locked in) fight that's pretty brutal with:
1 Rynjin Battlelord (or something like that)
2 Rynjin Priests (something like that- not as tough as the Battlelord)
6 Rynjin Scavengers (Small guys... they would've been easy (only 150 hp), but they kept Psi-blasting/Ego whipping me)

During that fight, 5 Stone Crabs decided that they weren't doing anything, and came over and joined in. The last Stone Crab ran away a bit, so I chased him, and in chasing him, I stirred up 4 Water Fairies (who were, luckily, pretty easy).

So after those 3 groups, I say, hey, that hut looks like a nice place to rest, walk over, open the door, and OOPS, SOMEBODY'S HOME!!!

It was just a Rynjin Something or other and his 2 brothers, and I was already at melee range, so I was able to kill them without losing anyone. But if I had been a couple of more steps away, I would've been meat!

Luckily, 1 4M 1337 VV4RR10R 5uPr3m3!!!!

In the Rattkin Tree :

4 Rattkin Snipers
4 Rattkin Rogues
6 Rattkin Goons
9 Wasps
5 Sprites

and I WON! I backed into the doorway by breeders around the corner so the snipers and sprites couldnt nail me, and then took like 2 at a time coming in the door while fireball/iceball 'ing in the doorway to hit the creatures behind. Took a LONG time [img]smile.gif[/img] c. 120,000 EXP

or ( where I died miserably )

1 Sorceress Queen
1 Death Lord
1 Death Lord
3 Cultists
3 Cultists
1 Minor Earth Elemental
1 Minor Earth Elemental
1 Earth Elemental
1 Earth Elemental
1 Fire Elemental
1 Fire Elemental

not really a train, but a BIG one [img]smile.gif[/img]

My biggest train so far (and the term is new to me..at least for rpg's , but it suits).

I only really just started the game. In lower monastary, after triggering trap door and being unceremoniusly dumped down a level, all party members level 3-4.
1st, 10 seekers in front, 3 noxious slimes to the rear. Just as I put them down and start looking for a place to rest, 12 wolf spiders. Get through them, but by now I'm out of magic, out of potions and a couple of peeps hurting bad on hp's. All I'm thinking is safety and rest, try to make it to the cell, 4 more slimes. I think, ok, I can handle this, my Ranger tells me they're Adamantine slimes..100+ hp's each...and damn hard to hit. Yikes! By the time it was over, 2 party members dead(bless the goddess for resurrection powder!), 2 unconsious, and 12 hp's between the other two. I actually muttered to my screen for a minute "I'm safe now, I'm safe now" BUT, I DIDN'T HAVE TO RELOAD!

I was actually thinking of starting the same topic because of the same reason. I actually wrote everything down too [img]smile.gif[/img]

3 Crimson Poppies
9 Forest Mites
9 Juggernauts
1 Rank Weed
4 Poison Seekers
2 Twilight Bats
6 Shreiker Bats

For a total of 46 992 xp! Keep in mind that I am running a 4 character party consisting of a fighter, cleric, rogue, and a mage all about 9th level. I am also happy to report that not one of my characters died....mostly because I was able to get myself into a crevice where only 2 could face me at a time. And this wasn't even my toughest fight....it was actually when I faced 5 Wood Fairies all level 15. They always get first strike and cast spells like crazy. I think I had to reload about 5 times because I kept getting my butt royally kicked. Oh, and I did have another that might have been a little tougher..... 6 Higardy with 100 hps and 3 sorceress'. I could barely see them let alone cast any usefull spells against them because of their position. And of course all 3 had to cast summon elemental which didn't make me a happy man. I don't think I will ever head back to the monestary again!
