CoP Mission 8.4: Dawn. The end.

So we ventured for our first and last time into the fabled Empyreal Paradox for the fight that we had anticipated since we first began this game years ago for most of us. The cutscene distracted us for a good few minutes and when most of us had only just entered the BCNM, impatient Prishe and Selh' decided to launch a solo attack on Promathia so we headed into the fight practically unprepared. Within minutes we were struggling big time. Being melee heavy we were absolutely destroyed by Promathia's relentless Meteor and Comet AOE attacks that hit consistently for 600+ damage every minute.

Yet we struggled through and eventually managed to wipe Promathia's first form to the ground as Prishe practically tanked for us. Unfortunately we were forced to wipe as most of us did not consider the final bout being one by a hapless NPC as we lay on our backs. With a little more preperation we went in and proceeded to almost wipe again (or so I hear as I was booted by my ISP for 80% of the second round -- and yes Avhienda, my screams caused avalanches as far away as Canada!!!) to Promathia's incessent attacks as some of us were regretting not coming with a mage or ranged job.

However after a short fight it was done... Promathia was no more!!!! To our shock and amazement Altana herself graced us with her presence and proceeeded to return the whisper of the souls we had all once lost over time and calmed her celestial husband Promathia. We were children of both heaven and hell, mother and father, creater and destroyer.
