Well ,guys we finally ended at 4am eastern time..... It was a rough one...Lots of crashing and lag.But we made it through.
As for the pvp part of it...It was weird and different,as well as a learning experience for me..And thanks for being such good sports UD guys and prisoners...Hells thanks to everyone for being awesome...
Also I would like to thank DM Sirc and DM Sen(our newest Dm) for doing an awesome job in making the event what it was...Hats off to you guys, and everyone give them some karma they deserve it.
So it looks like this conclusion is more drawn out than I originally anticipated....Which is still cool,because we are having a good time with it.So we will continue to push forward and end this thing once and for all!!

hey haunted thanks for hosting unfortunately i had to log when i got word it would be ANOTHER half hour before the kivvil (surfacers) turned up.
Nonetheless the RP leading up to it was very fun.
I can tell you from my time on TFR that events larger than 20 toons are VERY hard to hold due to constant crashing. The NWN2 server seems to have issues with such a heavy load of buffed toons, let along when the meet to fight. TFR in the end just canned any event over 10 people as it was impossible to hold them. Your mileage may vary of course.
However I would suggest that if possible you segment such events.
Perhaps setup an alt, server that can only be accessed via password and then invite players who are going to participate to log onto this alt server just for the event.
It would reduce load as all non-event toons would remain on the main server.
Not sure if you have the equipment or resources to do this but it could possibly be done with someone's beefy personal comp and a decent connection as it would only be up for the duration of the event.
Thanks again for holding the event last night I wish I could have stayed for the battle but the waiting took so long I had to log.

I wanted to leave my thanks and congratulations to the DM team that were in charge of the awesome event, and a few more things:
I thank you for letting me be the "Sword Bearer" and the opportunity to RP some great stuff. I wasn't expecting for it though and did not prepare myself physically for the challenge ;D
I wanted to say I'm really sorry if sometimes I was rushing ahead of others to accelerate the pace of things. I was really tired and was falling sleep in front of the computer (Damn, should have taped it...lol).
I remember Tarsakh asking me what time was it in the middle-end of the event and I looked to the watch it was 5:30...lol... So my brain should be at 3% of normal function...
Once again I want to thank the awesome event and I'll be here to another night turn as soon as the event starts... ;D

It was 3:30 am my time, Thanks hanging in there though. Thanks for the great event last night guys. I think all the DM's and players did a great job of RPing. Toward the end I could tell everyone was getting tired including myself. It was very Epic seeing that many ppl online and participating. At one Point I saw 37/50 People when I was logging back in.

Wish I could have stuck around myself. I had to bail about the same time Adzling did. Wife was complaining and I was already up for about 20 hours heh. Glad to see something good came out of it all

ROFL, I went to bed 7 am here...But it was awesome! Thanks to Haunted, Sen and SirC and all those in my party. We were the first to the to the UD and got raped by the drow...specially Belados and Flail. Heh, the best thanks goes to the drow players for the great RP that followed our capture. My party was RPing the uncouncious and it was great, one at a time, we were kicked, punched, spit on, and we saw the fight for leadership on the drow side. Perfect. Even more kudos for Glaran, the Gray Dwarf, for let Ujio escape and lead to event more great RP as I went to the city in disguise! Just a reminder for all the evil drow out there: When you capture a Shadowdancer, please remember to bind his hands and feet. Specially in the Underdark. Thats a pretty shadowy place right? All it took was the dwarf to say: Get up mate, go! And poof, near death Ujio vanished. And Belados, since you could spot me, you shouldnt leave me alone with the lowbie drows...That was the easiest escape ever. Im loving this! Sshamath here I go!

It seems I missed another two hours of the event. And here I thought it was nearly over when I had to leave.
Note to self: Triple the amount of drow and duegar and make them all epic to be able to have a chance against a couple of PCs...

PS: Have the promissed Karma SirC.

MAN! That event was AWESOME! Great RP from all and great action as well....a very good combonation of the two. Despite the crashing and all, it was great. The cave in was very kewl as well. Splitting up the two groups and then freaking out....great. I also enjoyed seeing how the DM's working together as a team can make it really come alive in a way that.....was above and beyond! I cannot wait to see how this all turns out. Kudos to all.

It was fun though I must say that I had expected a much tougher fight. Flail was never pushed to his limits since Belados managed to knock out Ujio. Keagan fought bravely but I'm afraid he just didn't have a chance at that point.
There are a few surfacers left in the Underdark now. It will be interesting to see how it plays out for them.
Thanks to our three DMs Haunted, Carnifex and Sen. I'll throw in a mention of Jlf2n too though I imagine he was probably debugging or something (but that's important too!).

keagan messed me up in a few hits, then flail accidentally roasted me when the fist showed up. As said no worries about that(that's the second time a warlock has killed me while in party ) But as far as the pvp part, I thought the UD party was completely screwed, very surprised it turned out the way it did. I was expecting a near epic druid and some beefy weavemasters to roll right over us. Glaran's convinced it was a dupe as stated in party chatter a few times.

It was a great experience for me to take part in this. Thank you Haunted and SirC for setting the whole thing up and thank you everyone else for staying until the end, even when towards the end some were apparently considering to take a nap on the keyboard
