Last week, while harassing Starfish and Crabby Crabs at Martini Coast, I received a message from one of the Constellas that a previously-forbidden portal, Magmus (beyond the Level 40-50 Selpiad Instance maps) had been unlocked.

"What's there?"

"Dragon."

"WHAT???!! ZOMG."

I sent a message down the grapevine to Hysteria the Paladin, who promptly requested a party raid. (Currently, the max number of party members is 4, but we're requesting for the number to be raised so that you can go in with bigger parties to face off against stronger bosses.)

It took about 10mins to round up a party of willing adventurers with more guts than brains. We had one Battlemage, one Archer, one Knight, and one Paladin.

Adventurers, meet your new friend Lavalon.

Objective: Attack the exposed dragon heart in the center of the cave. And try to avoid Sudden Death.

So how did we fare?
About 1 minute into the raid, THIS happened (below).

I've since come to the conclusion that:

1. You should only go in if you have about 2000HP. Even at Level 40, Archers and Magi can't seem to survive the massive blast attacks.
2. You need HEAPS of pots. (Or a very high-level group healer. We didn't manage to locate an Acolyte this time round.) 25 Greater Health pots for the encounter. Alphie counted. Those are stronger than the red Large Health Potions. And they don't guarantee you'll survive.
3. Go with a THIEF!!! Now we can see why we need someone with high Health points. We don't have any cos it's still locked.
OR
4. FORGET IT. (The Lavalon will probably be an OBT highlight. :P This is a sneak for you because we couldn't resist going in.)

Sadly, only Hysteria was "vet" enough to finish the dragon after Prince and I dropped like sad little flies. Alphie hung on right 'til the end, but died a second before the magma drake went down.

Last word of advise; Don't go with goofballs (below) unless you wanna die laughing.

Come on. We were all kitted to the max and the guy was holding a Froggie Crossbow??? (See far right of Picture 4).
Okay, okay... I died too.
Oh, ya. I think I GAVE him the Froggie Crossbow. Wahahahaha
