The spellcasters are revived, but the team runs out of money and Decline is forced to stay as a corpse.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00000_zpsxcfaglje.jpg

So they go out to collect more money, and use the opportunity to train Grimwulf and Bee up some more.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00006_zpswz8tfotv.jpg

The fundraising goes slowly as they are unwilling to enter the 3rd floor, for the greater rewards come with risks too great.

On the surface, boot decides that once Decline is revived they will head for the 4th floor as soon as possible. There was no point grinding away in a place where they could be killed at anytime through bad luck. If they were going to risk death, they might as well explore new frontiers of the dungeon.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00078_zpsvdpf8h7s.jpg

Decline is raised soon after the fundraising begins and the team departs for more adventures. Nobody mentions the word extreme, because they do not feel very extreme anymore. Death has a way of taking things from you.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00113_zpsvt9e8jsp.jpg

They make a few cautious runs through the 3rd floor, as Corporate Jew Master and RK-47 were on the verge of leveling up. The new magics they might learn could be useful deeper in the dungeon.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00330_zpsebg1bv82.jpg

And they both learn very useful magics. Powerful group attack magic including instant death spells, reviving the dead and curing poison, as well as other spells. The poison curing will be especially useful, as now we won't have to constantly blow money on Potions of Neutralization. The reviving spell is not as good as it sounds, as Corporate Jew Master cannot revive with nearly as much success as the temple, and we'll probably use it only in dire emergencies.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00403_zpsi9kucgl1.jpg

Armed with the knowledge they may never return, the team descends to the 4th floor.

The walls are a hellish red color, and the there is more crap written on the floor here.

With the lights on it looks a bit less ominous. We step onto a sort of trap tile, but the alarm only summons friendly monsters.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00410_zpspntsbsd6.jpg

'Monster allocation center'?

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00413_zpskvqothwr.jpg

mmm.... The EXTREME TEAM's blood rose to a fever pitch. True battle, finally their skills would be put to the test! Now they would redeem themselves or die, either fate was acceptable to them. This was what it meant to be called EXTREME.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00420_zpszs857ned.jpg

RK-47 will cast his instant death spell, destroying the enemy fighters and mages. Corporate Jew Master will silence the Priests, while Kalin buffs the parties AC and boot and Cassidy destroy the Ninja. Their strategy was flawless.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00426_zpswlyaypr1.jpg

But their enemies strength was too great, and the EXTREME TEAM drops like flies.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00428_zpsbbthuxc1.jpg

They are cut down mercilessly, even the most EXTREME of them all.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00442_zpsssnapyep.jpg

The high-T cuck crusher cheats death and flees carrying the corpses of his allies, a combined weight of greater than 1000 pounds distributed unevenly over the body.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00454_zpsccrheyio.jpg

Then, fighting his way back through the deathly halls, Corporate Jew Master drags each member of the team to the elevator.

In a car full of corpses, he ascends to the 1st floor.

I think CJM puts a new spin on the word EXTREME. Battling his way though a dungeon able to kill all of them with over 1000 lbs over his shoulders.:salute:

New men are recruited to replace the fallen. First is Comte, a self-proclaimed beta cuck.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00027_zps8vccrhfz.jpg

Then, Viata.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00032_zpsl0q9b93l.jpg

The available men - along with the new recruits- are assembled to go on what will be a very long fund raising quest.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00047_zps6nhjh6cz.jpg

It is boring work, but it must be done. The rebirth of the EXTREME TEAM depends on their laboring.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00211_zpsj2ptyjwv.jpg

After much time, there is enough money to revive one of the dead. boot is chosen for obvious reasons. After even more time, RK-47, Kalin, and Cassidy are returned to life. The EXTREME TEAM is nearly whole again.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00410_zps0ihjgyjk.jpg

Cassidy becomes a Samurai soon after being revived. I didn't really look into how class changing worked before doing this. His stats are all fucked up now.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00451_zpswqm6csxe.jpg

Unfortunately, the temple priests destroy Decline's body during the revival attempt. The EXTREME THIEF has been reduced to ashes, and there is little hope of restoring him.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00009_zpsbnrd5sqe.jpg

A new thief is recruited, Mustawd. Short and ugly, they secretly hopes he will die soon.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00058_zpssxejmkww.jpg

But they are stuck with him, so he is trained up anyway.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00243_zpszqzhwqbv.jpg

The team soon decides to go back to the 4th floor, though this time avoiding the 'Monster allocation center'. One day they would return and exact vengeance, but as of now they were not strong enough.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00270_zps6pfv88vr.jpg

The enemies here are mostly the same as the ones seen on the 3rd floor, and the layout of the floor is simple. We are able to travel the halls of this place mostly free of fear. We begin to frequently see good loot drop here, too, which is nice.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00338_zpsclmrnyux.jpg

boot receives visions from the divine.



Without faith, they were doomed to become communists and beta cucks.

boot takes his fedora off forever.

It was time to press on to greater things.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00469_zpsuhnjeqh2.jpg

The 4th floor had failed to impress the EXTREME TEAM, so now they were going deeper...

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00471_zpssytszuhu.jpg

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00485_zpssypmywi2.jpg

It did not look particularly intimidating. What could lie beyond? I genuinely do not know.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00494_zpsuxotiwxp.jpg

We make our way to this point without meeting any enemies. I plan on going back very soon but just want to get a feel for this floor.

From what I can tell it's made up of many twisting passages. If we run out of Dumpaic castings we will quickly become lost.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00504_zpsgtrmagr3.jpg

Our first enemy encounter is with these things. Not too tough, but their strikes cause poison.

We get a Sturdy Plate out of the battle. Cassidy equips it. The drops are very good down here, and the rate that we find it at is decent.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00536_zpsay176t15.jpg

More enemies. The bishops are weak too. We need opponents worthy of our caliber.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00554_zpskhc256e9.jpg

And we soon find them. RK-47 hits the enemy with instant death, and we press on boldly.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00569_zpsthtqbhyt.jpg

While recklessly searching for monsters to kill and rob, they stumbled through a few one way doors.

Majestic failure awaits us unless we find our way back soon. We can't continue to kill monsters of this floor forever at this rate- RK-47 is getting tired. And we still have to make the journey back through the other 4 floors.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00584_zpsltjb14x9.jpg

But eventually we find the route back to the 4th floor. It was a lot messier than it seems here.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00589_zps7no2ragw.jpg

We run into a group of Dragon Puppies just a few steps away from the ladder. The team underestimates them, as they are merely puppies.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00609_zpscjdfkde6.jpg

Mustawd and RK-47 pay with their lives.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00611_zpszx9beqsv.jpg

The survivors are forced to flee, having barely survived the Dragon Puppies breath attacks

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00624_zpsxtnntptp.jpg

Corporate Jew Master is able to heal the party back up to functional shape, and we begin our march toward the surface. It has begun to be almost expected that a few members would die on each expedition, so the loss of two comrades does not bother anyone much.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00635_zpsvz7xfidm.jpg

On the surface, RK-47 and Mustawd are brought back to life. The temple is very capable of returning the dead. I always thought their failure rates were higher.

Also, since we made so much money on our latest expedition, I decide to attempt to restore Decline. It was only right.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00656_zpskfplg6yy.jpg

And they succeed this time. The Decline is back in action.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00778_zpsoacflyhn.jpg

With our unreliable yet EXTREME THIEF with us, we make another trip down to the 5th floor.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00784_zps0ii5w7jc.jpg

RK-47 allows us to make it through these battles with only one spell casting.

At this point the everyone realizes what a horrible mistake their party composition was.

boot and Cassidy were only half as useful as they were before Class changing. boot had terrible level ups since then and had about 5 ST 5 PI, and their spellcasting abilities were not good at all. Also, Kalin was deadweight. He would never learn the more useful spells.

It would have been so much better if the team had started with something like 3Priests, 3Mages, or 3Priests, 2Mages, 1Thief. Then Class Changing would have made sense and legitimately made the team stronger, and there would be no deadweight. boot could have had a long list of Priest Spells, Kalin could have had class changed from Priest too and not been so worthless, or gone as a mage first. Anyway, Priests were really useful and I wish we had more of them. Cassidy would be better if he changed over from a mage... They were full of regret and angst.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00856_zpshv652lil.jpg

But the team presses on with full knowledge of their inadequacy, and find an elevator.

We can use it to reach floors 4-9, though the 4th floor leads straight to a locked door. Anyway, we're going to ignore it. Elevators are for weaker men.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00931_zpsqvg4ye7h.jpg

The team eventually makes it's way into a zone where they cannot cast any magic. I had heard of places like these but I didn't know one was here. Without the awesome might of RK-47's magics, these battles are a bit too dangerous, and they do not stay long.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00958_zps4io9osbt.jpg

The anti-magic effect lasts even after they leave the area, very bad. What is this shit?

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00971_zps61lm4lid.jpg

They got out of there fast.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00999_zpsw87rifbn.jpg

The 6th floor is banal and boring, the EXTREME TEAM needs greater challenges. Excepting the Anti-magic zone, it was not a hard place to survive.

The team had many close encounters with total defeat on the 6th floor, but ultimately they conquered it. Now was the time to go deeper.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00933_zpsd5nzgwm3.jpg

The walls of the place were a beautiful bronze color. To move on they were forced to cut through darkness.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00934_zpsmq6xchx6.jpg

Even in the dark, the team quickly realizes they have gone through a one way door and have no way of getting back to the surface. This had been intended to be a short scouting trip of the 7th floor, but now they were in serious danger.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00935_zpsrm8ywy8f.jpg

The first of the enemies come for the EXTREME TEAM. All were highly lethal.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00947_zpsinn6rusk.jpg

They fight valiantly and drive them off, but how many more can they face before their own destruction?

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00957_zpszv6mhrpk.jpg

They know the severity of their situation. There was nowhere to retreat, they could only hope to survive a little bit longer.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_00996_zpszrwa83cd.jpg

We can't keep doing this forever...

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_01007_zpsphe0ci6c.jpg

Finally, it happens. The first of the EXTREME TEAM is killed. The priests induce a heart attack in Corporate Jew Master, and the moral authority and spiritual leader of the elite warrior squad lies dead. No one has ever managed to kill Corporate Jew Master before, without him the team's hope of survival has been completely extinguished.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_01025_zpsub8jifca.jpg

Hopelessly lost and without their healer, the team stumbles across an event tile. It could be a trap, or it could be an elevator. They have to take the chance. It is their last hope of escaping this place.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_01026_zps3gr7uoxp.jpg

But it is a pit trap, and both Decline and Kalin lose their lives to Charley's shit covered barbarian death holes.

Wizardry%20I-II-III%20-%20Story%20of%20Llylgamyn%20J%20NP%20TEng1.00_AGTP_01031_zpswkpqbo0b.jpg

The corpses of the fallen members are piled into the corner, and boot and Cassidy stand guard over them. RK-47's strength had been nearly depleted and he was nearly more useless than the corpses, but he stands with the 2 heroes, resolutely. Together they prepare to make their final stand.

:hero:goodbye. It was nice knowing you.

So the entire EXTREME TEAM is dead? It's SAVIOR SQUAD'S turn. Let's roll out and save their asses.
