ZOHAR vs. Bastok M6: a photo tour

[Arli]

A few weeks ago, our LS on the Leviathan server got together to do Bastok M6 and had tons of fun and wanted to share the pics with everyone.
Here's a pictoral account of the mission:

This gallery could be a SPOILER for those who haven't done the mission, so don't go further if you'd rather not see the mission before you experience it firsthand.

I dont think this Orc saw what hit him. An alliance of 8 mowing his ass DOWN!

We set off across the dry plains of Birumiru Penninsula inland.

Almost to our destination, we cross a river in East Sarutabaruta.

Finally, we arrive at the gates of Windurst.

We finally arrive at Balgas' Dias and the Burning Circle.

Weary, we look back to make sure noone was left behind.

This is it, we enter the Burning Circle.

A nasty looking fellow. Smells too.

It seems the demon was expecting us and summoned his pet: The Black Dragon.

Knocking her arrow she strikes!
http://www.rpgfan.com/userdirs/tenchi/m6-35.jpeg

A blow in vain, but she senses our approach and leaves the battle to the party.
http://www.rpgfan.com/userdirs/tenchi/m6-36.jpeg

The ultimate battle ensues!
http://www.rpgfan.com/userdirs/tenchi/m6-37.jpeg

We are victorious but the cost heavy. Lion shows up and assesses the mess.
http://www.rpgfan.com/userdirs/tenchi/m6-38.jpeg

Yup, we all died..except Endy thanks to a fast Cure spell I threw him before I died.

Thus ended our trip and successfull completion of Bastok mission 6 and earning Rank 3. Thanks to all ZOHAR members who attended. We're planning on doing M8 this week and will post the pics up from that at a later date.

Har, excellent shots Stephen. ^^ I've been running guard duty all week for that quest. If I do it again today, that'll make five runs total.
