So there I was on the Colossus Flag all alone........

[Rackat]

I figured what the hey, I'd board the Colossus and get some good treasure. I forgot that I was on my lv31 pirate with my weapons all around lv13-16. I get on board and all of the NPC's are lv28. Oh, snap!

So, I get out my doll (lv13) and start the chicken run. No good. Can't attune all of them and I've already gone through a tonic without killing any NPC.

Toggle through weapons and see grenade lv17. I figured again, what the hey, I'm gonna go to jail anyhow, and pull out the boom booms.

I start the backwards fast walk, lobbing when I could and running when I had to. Pretty soon, there is only one NPC left. I take him down and wipe my brow.

Two tonics and approximately 10 minutes after boarding, I get........wait for it.......3 cargo crates!!!!!!!

But, it was a valuable experience. Next time I won't board the Colossus alone!

[Dr. Zeppers]

lol, takes a big ship to haul the navy's trash.

Sorry you had to work so hard for it!!!!

Way to be a survivor though!!!

[Sarah]

ROFL! Bravo. Well done Rackat!

[Evie]

Well, the gold wasn't good, but at least now you know you can!

[Elizabeth Love Heart]

Ok lets look at this backwards. If you died and sink it cost you something like 175 gold to fix right? So in essence you made that

Good work on taking on and mastering the Navy.

The Colossus is like that... you board one time and its full of L9 Sargents... then the next time ist L33 Navy! Its like WOAH - Doll time! My staff can do up to a L27 surprise (which happens) but once I see the 30's I know I'm in it for the long haul

Takes me about 10 minutes to do it with the Doll, doing two or three at a time (I can attune three). After the first two sets drop though (say 5 total - taking about 6 minutes draining, swarming, poking and the like) - I'll usually switch to sword if theres only three left and try to take them that way (or hurt two really bad - swtch to doll and run again - they fall pretty fast then). The last one is all Bladestorm

Three crates... the other bad surprise you get with Colossus after a hard run :P Glad ya made it off though

"Live to fight another day I say!"

[Mr.LoveLocket]

Well done! You beat some hard fellows
good thing you didnt have to fight those level 37 lol

[Captain Seaford]

Ah man, that blows! One time I boared a kingfisher alone and got 3 royals. ha, they should add a new chest... a... Skeleton Chest or an Old Chest.

[MacIronhawk]

Nice job!
All for three cargo?
Well a pirates life is never fare!

[icemage]

I went alone on a lvl 37 ship!!! All lvl 37s i died in like 5 secs after tey saw me. I was only lvl 32 and didn't even bother.

[Swash]

I usually pull the running doll trick on them.

[icemage]

lol when I board i'm always hoping they e lvl 27s or veterans always turns out wrong. When its 27 I can just use the staff easily. Rackat what lvl were you at the time?

My staff was only lv9 at the time, so that wasn't an option. Until this incident I had not considered grenades a good weapon upon boarding a flag. I may just try it again to see how well I do.

I'll post when I get home. We can hook up and go find the Colossus off Outcast.

I don't think it would work on the smaller flag's, but it probably would on the War Frigate and War Galleon flag's.

But, I will have full tonics when I try it again!
