Avalon city has level 50ish mobs at the entrance. Stuff to get warmed up on. I was a little late and had to stealth in to where they were.
There's various lizardman/undead mobs on the way, red/purple to a 48. There's also a patrol of guys that patrol the city, two or three of them. They have badass crossbows that oneshot casters like Ocean, lol. They hit me for about 550.
We went to a staircase that brought us under the city. On top were crossbowmen that fired down at us, and we had to pull them down to us, since there were a lot of them up there. Underneath we fought some awesome purple guys, cap xp for everyone. There was a crystal cave and a new zone underneath that.
In the new zone were these Elite lizardmen guys. They totally kicked our asses. They have a pbae interrupt that makes casting/bowfire impossible/tough to do. Melee I was doing 1 or 2 damage, and damage add was doing 1 or 2 on top of that. We zoned back out to the crystal cave and rezzed up.
Then we tried to head out the staircase. But get this... the crossbowmen on top targetted our clerics, paladins and friars. They killed off all our rezzers! Uber! So after they did that we all died pretty fast. Haha!
Then we went to the ogre dungeon. Not as impressive, but pretty cool nonetheless. I was neutral to the mobs and after an hour of killing them remained so. I think the faction is related to your race. I'm saracen, and almost never drew aggro unless I was the only one hitting it. And the ogres seemed to hate Avalonians the most.
Ogre dungeon seemed manageable, a strong vengeance group with two or three clerics and Axe/Kirin would be able to handle it in there, I am pretty sure.
If I hadn't gained around 11 bubbles last night at trees and in DF, I'd be really bummed about missing that. As it is, I can't wait to see it.
