New Lowbie Vahzilok arc [ID 42287]

[cranebump]

 

Got inspired by Iago's speech in Othello: "Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners." Then it sorta went from there.

 

TEST NOTES:

*Initial run throughs=L15 "Power Pool" character. Had issues with some of the customs and the boss. Nerfed them all before proceeding.

*2 runs with my exemplared L50 Incarnate Blaster. Last mish was tough, but that was because I had tagged ally reinforcements as "Enemy." Derrrrrr..... Fixed and ran again. No issues.

*Final run with a L27 Rad Melee/Nrgy Shield Tank. Only issues occurred when I decided to grab several groups of customs. Btw: Was GREAT fun after clearing the final boss to lead the leftover mobs right into my allies. Ahhhhhh....die, you gravy sucking pigs!

*Lore wise, this uses Pavel Garnier, 6 months after his Vahzilok plague arc (and presumably after Pos TF has taken out Doc Vahz, leaving a power vacuum).

*Had to make a pair of mishes 14-20, rather than 15, because, even though Hellions and Skulls WILL spawn at higher than 14, the default list has them at 14. The engine simply wouldn't let me play the mish until I dropped it down to 14 (even as it had missions saying, "This is allowed for publish.").

 

I look forward to your feedback (yes, Kyksie, I am levelling you down again, like the douche I am).:-)

TWEAKS & CHANGES:

*Reduced number of rescues in M2 to 1 required and 3 optional. Reduced glowies from 2 to 1 by truncating the 2 clues. I still hate that map. What I'd really like is a small corner of the forest. But I need to learn how to use outdoor maps better, and it fits the arc, so...whaddaya gonna do?:-)

*Gave some of the Lt's names.

*Still need to check: Spawns in M3. Sometimes they're dead on. Other times, they're wonky, and cause backtracking.
