Does Alesia hate his guts, and simply lets him rot?

And another thing: why don't you henchies have infused armor for the higher levels? We kind of miss you there...

And oh hi Dunham. Let them talk, I still like ya and take you from time to time. But only when I'm fed up with Claude again dying, sorry...

Claude just does not know when to quit sacrificing himself for the team!

He does do amazing things but what I witnessed is that Alesia Just does not really like him or something. I swear evertime he goes down it is Reyna that revives him.

Why just last night we went on a mission and all we needed to do was clean a town of undead. Claude went down first but he took out several Bone Minnions with him. There was two zombie sorcerers that I wanted to take out so I tried to circle around but oh no... Reyna had to rush in to rez Claude. I swear Reyna has the hots for Claude when Orion is not arround. This must have upest Alesia because she was casting heals on me and not doing anything for Reyna. Amazingly Reyna got Claude up and casted troll urgent while we held off the mobs. I ordered them to flee back so we could regroup but Stephan was determined to finish off the bone minnion. Alesia had to rush in to aid Stephan and Little Thom. Well Stephan when down and then Little Thom so it was now Dunham, Claude, Alesia, Reyna and me. I ordered them to flee. Alesia Was trailing the pack so see went down first. Then the mobs caught up with Dunham. Well Dunham went down the mobs decided to give up chase.

After a little name calling which had Reyna sulking since she just decided not to move around the rock she was standing next to, I took the group back to the starting point. We slowly worked our was back to the town. Reyna got Alesia up after I threatened her to forget Dunham and let Alesia take care of him. Eventually we had everyone up and healed and finished the mission without another incident.

Hmm, I have already addressed the general inadequacies of you carbon-based players here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...0&postcount=39. You whine like a necromancer. My fair love, Lady Althea, had more spine than most of you meat-sacks, and she was an actress, Dwayna shelter her soul.

Has everyone forgotten that Henchmen are A.I. They were built to do our bidding, and that's how they should be used. I'm not trying to be mean to the person masqerading as henchmen, but come on. You know it's true.

I don't want to hear it from you humans. At least part of AI is "Intelligence" which your collection of pixels on my screen sometimes seems to lack...

Alesia {Healer Henchman} · May 29, 2005, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Rurik, Stephan really is so laidback he doesn't want to do anything about the union unless he gets free lunches, so we're stuck. I for one could use guaranteed vacation time.

As for the whole Reyna thing, pfft whatever.

Yet the sad truth is that we r all humans and we r all losers for typing this stuff lol.

Im that guy that got crushed under a boulder in searing...You never saw many.Im a ghost that haunts players by im not stong enough for an avatar.. You human idiots were too busy dancing .Dancing is useless programming. Rurik i gave my life for you and i never got a pay check.And how come none of you ever used rez on me. Idiots Idiots Idiots...Stephan don't pretend like you dont know me. All i have to say to you is devours Tuesday night and you had to stand there while the entire team got killed..Orion you still owe me a drink..

(outside looking in on thread thought i join the fun because i just saw some feet under a rock near the northwall)

Epinephrine · May 30, 2005, 05:07 AM // 05:07

I have a thank you for henchies. This is me, at lvl 13 with all henchmen, and not a single death to any party member, at the last bad guys in the Gates of Kryta.... (we just ran through the swampy bit, so still posioned)

http://img267.echo.cx/img267/7397/gw1022jf.jpg

And this would be me finishing the mission with henchmen at level 13, using a pure mesmer build excepting the Glyph of Lesser Energy.

http://img267.echo.cx/img267/749/gw1035wr.jpg

Unfortunately, a patrol of 3 Skeleton Mesmers and 3 Skeleton Rangers happened along, so I lost Thom and Stefan once fighting them off while partially engaged with the end guys, but the shatter hex on dying Thom wiped out all 3 mesmers (101 damage AoE) and all but finished 2 rangers, so Alesia rezzed us and we kicked butt. Only 2 total deaths, both on lvl 10 tanks. Alesia, you were a babe, kept us alive through thick and thin, Claude, you are my man - I saw you pumping Alesia's energy more than once, smart choice! Thom, Stefan, you stepped up when the time was right, and while I couldn't quite save you that last little bit I made that hexing bugger pay for it, and without Reyna throwing glances at Orion he did just fine.

It should be noted that I was in a party earlier with a level 20 Monk/Elementalist and a level 17 Warrior monk, as well as one other human, who wiped when the lvl 20 monk decided he could take on every single pack at the end simultaneously while standing in poisoned water. Why let stupid humans stop me? I grabbed the best AI I could find and went in full of confidence - as long as I shut down the death novae and shattered the hexes we were a good team - I scratch your backs, you scratch mine. Good work guys

I think everyone is forgetting about me! Was my flute not better than Alesia's healing? I'd like to see Alesia try and get a damn spell out of a mangy stick!

But, sorry Alesia, I do apologise. I do not mean to insult your skills; I am merely just saying my flute is better.

Has anyone seen my flute, by the way? The Grawl I gave it to for safe keeping ended up walking off, and I can't find him anywhere.

Jackell · May 30, 2005, 06:45 AM // 06:45

Gwen! It's about time!

I still have that tapestry, and I found your flute, broken once again, after the searing. I've been holding it for you this whole time!

How nice of you!

You say my flute is broken again? *boils up with rage* That Grawl!!! Did you see which one did it? Where did you find it?

Jackell · May 30, 2005, 06:55 AM // 06:55

A couple of music critic Grawls were dancing around it outside of Sardelic (sp). Mhenlo was there, too, so maybe some suspicion should fall on him.

Of course, he had to save face, and as soon as I arrived, he was all. "Oh... uh Hi... Uhm, look out, Grawl...." and killed them all. Now THAT'S how to cover a consipracy.

Gwen · May 30, 2005, 07:00 AM // 07:00

I may let the Grawl off then... They seemed to be doing no harm if they were just dancing around it. ...Unless one stepped on it and that's why it's broken?

I haven't been able to find any more flutes! No merchants sell them! If you do see a merchant that sells a nice new shiny flute, please tell me! It's boring blowing all those Ettins up when they try smashing my door down. Before, I could just get rid of them by playing my flute. I don't know why they all seem to just run off at the sight of it.

I might pay Mhenlo a visit later...

Antilles · May 30, 2005, 08:25 AM // 08:25

Yeah Gwen I met your mother in the underworld. She told me that you should stop going to those cult meetings, You little pyro.

A11Eur0 · May 30, 2005, 08:37 AM // 08:37

I got all you henchies back for screwing me over. I use you as a "trail of banana peels" (from mario kart) when I want to get somewhere fast. Take as many of you along as I can and have you pull aggro off of me while I sprint to the end. Laf, [OWNT].

Eskimo Bob · May 30, 2005, 08:56 AM // 08:56

Alesia: Please learn you are not a tank. No more soaring through walls towards the last group of enemies that just killed us because you had to "get a better look at the minotaurs fur".

Dunham: Do you do anything at all?

Stefan: Will you please learn not to charge in immediatly when I am trying to pull?

Little Thom: Dude, where is your helmut? And didn't you die? Are you not the red cloaked deserter? This is so confusing!

Orion: Fire storm is to be used while they are still alive.

Claude: Will you stop killing yourself with blood magic spells?

Reyna: Please don't revive someone anymore when you are the last one left and surrounded by several guys. All you do is give them a even bigger dp.

Prince Rurik: You were under half a foot of snow! Get up you pansy!

Various Npc Soldiers: Die much?

All Npcs: With all that loot you are getting, please do us a favor and get new armor/ infused.

But anyways, funiest thread ever.

The Virago · May 30, 2005, 03:31 PM // 15:31

Funniest. Thread. Ever. They really need to keep this one around for the ages.

As to the henchmen, Alesia, WTF is your problem? YOU NEVER HEAL ME DURING FIGHTS. Never. Not once. I cannot count the number of times I've died because you are trying to smite something.

Do you see my monk secondary and figure you can coast or what? Honey, I took that secondary for the damage mitigation and buffage. You're the one with the tag [Healer Henchman]. You need to get with the program and HEAL.

(ooc: Honestly, My partner and I have watched her literally refuse to heal me until after fights are over. It's bizarre. Then of course, she runs into a group of 20 charr to try and rezz me. -shaking head-)

I'm a Mesmer! Clearly I'm so subtle that you don't recognize the great job I'm doing. That must me it. I'm sure of it.

I'm debating about closing this thread and running a "NPC Only" thread instead.

My suggestion: Read the text boxes when you finish the quests. Farrah Cappo explained it.
