Well if you think that was bad listen to this. Yesterday i decided to take
a mental health day from work. I wake up and the first thing I do is go on
EQ. I logged in and I was at cazic. So I yelled Level 31 cleric looking to
group. So i get into a group to take on Archon. It was me, 2 SK's 2
wizards and a ranger and druid. So we decided We would invis and go up all
the way to archon. Well everyone in the group can invis themselves and I
start screaming for a invis. Noone comes down until they start fighting in
Archon. Then somebody realizes oh we forgot to invis the cleric. Well POOF
a train comes like 5 lizzy I go invun. Getting stuned. Used 2nd
invunerbilty. Well MORE STUNS. Ok I try to gate out. Your spell has been
interupted.5x Well I die. Get to my corpse everyone said sorry. Well you
think thats the end but there is more!!!! Now i lost a level because any
level after hell level you lose a whole bub of exp. So now I am level 30.
Ok we all go to Archon room there are about 5 to 7 lizzy. My invisibilty
fades. I START SCREAMING I NEED INVIS. But noone there invis me. Well that
nice little jucidor and his 3 brothers tried to cast wrath on me also the
crudader used his harm touch on me as well/ Hehehehe Used a invunerbily
before he gets the spell off. So the wizzy says I AM GOING TO USE EVAC.
Well he gets the spell off while we were winning the fight and boom we are
in North Karana. We rest up and everyone invis themselves BUT ME. The
wizard gates to the wizard portal in Cazic with me with NO INVIS. Well if
anyone has ever been there, there are always at least 3 lizzy hanging
around there. Well I used my last invunerbilty then tried to gate. The
first gate was interupted down to 80%. 2nd gate intterupted 60% 3rd gate
interupted 30% 4th gate interupted 20% 5th gate worked with 19HP. I said
to the group I am leaving since you have no clue how important the cleric
is. I left and decided I was going to go to Rathe mountains. Well Mr. Hurd
showed me what a real ass whoopin is. Died lost level 31 again. Back to
30. Played all last night still havent gotten that level back. The moral of
the story. HELL LEVEL SUCKS.
