What's the plan for 8/9/07?

OK, Thursday is right around the corner. I had an idea for a special "event", if you will. Also have some other options to consider for the evening...

Neither Orleans nor Cacaphony have either the Atlas Medallion or the Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member accolades. The first gives a permenant +5% Endurance Increase. I believe the second gives a permenant +10% Hit Point Increase.

Both Cacaphony and Orleans are missing one critical element for each.

For the AM, the Spelunker badge is needed. It's obtained by rescuing the fortune teller in a mission given by magic contacts in Steel Canyon. My proposition is to get the mission with Reptilor and then team with Cacaphony and Orleans. Once they are in-mission, I'll drop out with Reptilor and join the team with another toon (so I keep the mission for later). The team can complete the mission and get the badge. After that I can give you a guided tour with Mantlet to the plaque locations required to get the needed history badges for the accolade.

For the FPRM, the key is the Unveiler badge. It's gained by defeating 100 Fake Nemesis. Since we have been running missions for a while versus that villain group, Orleans and Cacaphony should be pretty close. We can either hunt for them in Peregrine Island or head to the Cascade Archipelago (they spawn all over in there). Once again, there is some tourism needed to read the required story plaques, but since everyone flies, not a biggie (just some zone hopping).

Now, both of these badges require some "grinding" so I can completely understand if nobody wants to do this. I thought I would offer to help out, since soloing to get these with Orleans or Cacaphony could be somewhat problematic. No pressure to do this at all. I'm just throwing the offer out there. Mantlet has both, so I have no vested interest either way except to help you guys out.

Other options on the table for Thursday include:
* Running more missions in the Ritki War Zone
* Heading to the Storm Palace in the Shadow Shard to check it out (we are high enough now to get in IIRC)
* Logging some of our Alts for the evening (Steel/Rickey/Fjordbotten)
* Hitting the Arena for some friendly PvP action
* Heading to Recluse's Victory PvP zone to lay the smack down
* Door missions on our story Arcs (mebbe more AV's in Peregrine Island)

At our levels with Caca/Orleans/Mantlet, we have access to essentially ALL the in-game content in CoH now. As they say, the world is our oyster...

I'm game for that. As far as Fake Nemeses go, I still have that Nemesis AV mish.

I've resigned myself to Caca hitting 50 before us, (Damn you double XP!!!) as he probably will this session.

Or we could pull out the alts and give Mantlet and Orleans a chance to catch up.

Post exact XP numbers so we can see how far there is to go.

Orleans 3,633,652XP + 147,015 debt = 3,780,667 until 50

OK, I'm gonna try and get home tonight "on time" and get Reptilor or Omega Response to grab that mission. After that we can tour and grab the plaques we need.

I'll see where Mantlet is XP-Wise. Last I looked, he was 85% the way to L49.

According to the guide we don't need nemesis for the Atlas medallion.

Nope, but you DO need it for the Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member accolade.
