Est apologies for being a burden because he was just a buffer and helpful whenever he can, but they didn't fulfill their role as vanguard that keeps things focused AWAY from the buffer
I swear to satan, whenever I had that happen during playing Mu Global as an Energy Elf (buff & heal) and people that should focus mobs with engaging them with combat didn't do their job, my fingers "accidentally" slipped a defense buff. It's a PARTY, not soloing.
Also, was for 5 years straight a guild master of ~30 people from different nations in Ultima Online, working out vanilla character classes and niche builds, coordinating even two Champion Raids at a time. If someone was incompetent and purposely made others suffer like that in this story, told rivalry PK guild to gank spawn their ass under their house till he/she couldn't afford item insurance upon death.
Also, also, Athena didn't clear up that she found her childhood crush and The Misunderstanding™ that happened when she was drunk. Fantastic writing.
