Surface Raid!

Ever since the strict (and nessecary) policy against drow surfacing, those weak mewling surfacers have been getting fat and complacent, thinking their drow troubles are behind them. Think again!

This is an official request to the DM staff for permission to hold a drow raid of the surface lands this coming Sunday the 3rd of June, whenever enough people are on to do it.

Of course we'll need a suitable target, since Shadowdale and Myth Drannor are out of the question, perhaps the fort near the bandits outpost or perhaps a DM could use one of those special maps they keep aside for their events. We're NOT raiding the Royal Oak, that place is just cursed.

The days leading up to it will see a few scouts up there at night, reconnoitering the target zone, gathering intel to plan the raid.

Let the surfacers remember: we are DROW and our WRATH will be TERRIBLE! LOLTH TLU MALLA!

The Yath'tallar Mi'reli does make it clear she supports this course of action.
Spread Lolths Chaos so that all will rightly fear her!

As some one who no longer plays a drow of any sort all i can say is as a player of filthy divvil jaluk vomit I support this and any consequences for my PCs that come of it.

Sounds good.

Though the location I would prefer not to reveal here. The Boatman might divine everything about it and pass it on

He always seems to know the locations of everything.

FEAR US PUNY KIVVIL, FOR WE ARE DEATH! Also, cake.

Tell me when, Syrani will be there! LET THE HUNT BEGIN!

If you can do this in the late-ish evening GMT+0 time I can be there

+1 the black archers await thee

let the metagame commence.

I suggest the planning is done in private.

I hunt on my own terms.

Do it, please.

Yes please! Inspire some fear of the drow!

Actually if we're assaulting a DM Quest Area then an (appropriately time-delayed) Black Archer response would be interesting. If not, then I hate to agree with the cynicism but..yeah....super super sekrit plans. Teleporting response forces are rubbish.

While not an UD player, I definitely agree you should plan in secret. I hate event-whores with a passion.

sorry to say guys im just leaving to go spend the weekend with freinds so i will be unavalable untill tues so good luck and play evil

While i am unable to do anything myself in game until after june the 16th, i will try and arrange a raid for you all via proxie, -makes a planning thread in the yath area-

I miss the funny drow surface raids

I am against those unless it is against npcs, usually ending up with complains from both sides and a lot of metagaming. I would prefer events towards of retaking Maerimydra plus RP-wise right now drow should focus on establish their power around the camp find resources new areas to conquer and work to the recapture of their city instead raiding surface.
Maybe a raid into the underdark to raise power is a better idea.

Im not going to spoil the surprises to come, but any raid (both surface and underdark raids) that happens will have a reason and the outcome of raids will be felt and seen in camp, the houses and Temple as things unfold! >

Honestly the city has to be built for that to happen, and then redesigned.

Folks often fail to realize that making a full, living city with multiple quests is not an quick or easy endeavor. The new questing system will help, a lot, but it still takes time

In order to speed that up a bit though, I am coming at it from the other direction, building the city first, then 'destroying it' so it can be re-taken.

Yes, it takes a long time to build an area. Even for the visuals alone and getting thr little details together it is a huge chore.

Example:O built this cavern map below. It took 8 weeks just to get the basics done.

If it helps i think i know enough to make areas linked togeather, still learning

I built about 90% of it for another server but in the end they removed all of the UD. I am just waiting for a certain person to ask me. And yes it was built with the LEGENDS plugins in mind.
