Sally! Jack in Irons!
City of Heroes last night was a hoot.
Our tiny team found the perfect parking spot in Croatoa, which I always think of as Halloween Land. We situated ourselves at the bottom of a valley near three sets of... bleachers, for lack of a better word. Every set of bleachers carried at least four oranges, sometimes four reds, and moving from bleacher to bleacher as the Fiends on them kept re-spawning made for some very sweet experience. The true thrill of the night, though, was the "epic monsters."
First off, we saw Sally as she swam through the lake, and got nearly close enough to touch her. Better yet, Jack in Irons spawned less than 400 yards from where we'd been hunting, and one other hero was already eager to take him on. We met up with her and one other, building our team up to five. True, one of us was a peacebringer, but I was the only tank. Two controllers and a blaster left the team with a high squish factor, but Elder Nashiim was an amazing healer and kept us all alive. Of course, two phantom armies bolstered the ranks occasionally--and turned the fight into such a clusterf**k that my computer's processor wept.
Still, Jack only threw me three times, though he did fall on me twice. He also apparently wears a black thong, which I was "lucky" enough to get a look at when he finally keeled over, or at least that's what it bloody well looked like. But wee! One pip to go and we're level thirty-one! [Well, a pip and three quarters for Apprentice Daath, because he managed to aggro an orange group all on his own and was immediately pasted. Twice. Oops.]
