Gentlemen! Raid-Day is tomorrow! 9PM BST, and some other time wherever you are! Pack your shizzle and get ready for action: Here thar be dragons!
The evening will proceed in two parts; I suggest we donate approximately an hour to the exploration of the Stronghold and the neutralisation of the silverfish spawner in the portal room. We'll try not to delay too long in heading down into the ground; we only really need a group for the raid, so don't expect us to wait to open the stronghold if you arrive half an hour late. Please recall the silverfish prevention rules, and remember, they can dwell in smooth stone, cobble stone and (not cracked or mossy) stone bricks.
Then a quick stop for re-equipping, crumpets and bio will lead us on to approximately 10PM BST (give or take, depending on any delays and size of stronghold and such), at which point we will congregate in the Portal Room itself before heading into the End. Pack your pumpkins, your bows and your arrows! Organisation of the raid party will be dependant on who turns up. If anyone has a huge stash of splash-potions of healing and fancies being a healer, apply within!
If'n'when we kill it, the Enderdragon Egg should be harvested by anyone equipped to do so, and placed within a secure storage vault that I intend to build in Ma'Spa at some point very soon. Fun as stealing stuff for ill-advised and not-thought-out adventures is, this thing is literally unique, so I request that it be stored and taken care of carefully until Jeb thinks of a use for it.
Stronghold exploration can continue after the raid, for the sake of people with limited time, and cracked and mossy stone bricks will be harvested later and shared between all participants by someone who can be trusted/bothered. Probably Edd, since he gets all the horrible jobs on the server. End Stone... I have no idea. Perhaps we'll do the same thing, though more time for responsible planning might be required there.
Voice chat seems a good plan as ever, but can I suggest we make a move to Skype as it's less intensive than using Steam, and raiding is tough enough on the RAM.
If Hulaabeo is about then I'm all for giving him the honour of opening the stronghold and getting the first faceful of creeper since he was the first to commit time and effort into finding it.
There's space for personal chests in the Longhouse of the Dragonslayers if you want to take any stuff there in advance, and the Longhouse is most easily reached by riding the West Line from Ma'Spa Depot (it's the blue line at the very top of the station - carts can be found in a chest in the station - please leave them in Dragonslayer Station in the chest there when you arrive, unless you've made and brought one yourself) all the way to its terminus at Dragonslayer Station - I'll try and update Ma'Spa Depot's directory tonight if I remember.
That's all I can think of right now. I've got to move my own stuff to the longhouse and produce a suitable vault for the Egg (not sure how much effort I'll put in - it can be epic-ified at a later date).
