Adrien had a BLAP Talwars planned this evening, but unfortunately some real life aggro got the better of him. Since I never FCed this kind of fleet (95% sure about that tho), and everyone was willing to go out, we formed anyway and went out. We had a nice WH connection to Querious, thanks to DeanSherman, which allowed us to discover new exotic places
Thanks again everyone for joining, I hope you had fun. We were a bit low on talwars, but we managed to score some nice kills. The WH connection was also EOL, so I warned everyone it was a one way trip

We first poked a lone Onyx at 0 in 3-F on the ED- gate, but he was not doing much, and some machariels were flying around. We deagressed, when we saw a Hurricane jumping into ED-. We followed, tackled him, and got rid of him in an efficient fashion. I don't remember exactly when, but a SB tried to bomb the fleet around that time.
Anyway, that's when the 2 carriers (Thany and Nid) decided to warp to the gate. We warped to a safe, waited our weapons timer, and jumped back into 3-F. The 2 carriers were there, as was the Onyx. I was a bit hesitant to go after the Onyx, but I though we could kill him and keep most of our talwars alive. He bubbled us immediately after jumping, and we started aligning to Efa prop mod on. I asked people to warp off if they were red-boxed, but it ended up being a bad idea
The Machs we saw ealier were waiting on the Efa gate, ready with smartbombs. We lost all our talwars to them, but none to the carriers
We still managed to trade the Onyx for 4 talwars, which is not bad imo.Kills and Losses

After the fight we went to Badifevi to dock and take a bio. The death roam was still not finished. After some discussions, we decided to go to HED-GP instead of going back to Querious. I planned a route deep into Brave/Test territory, and off we popped. There was a few big fleets around, including a Horde Ferox one. So we spend most of our time avoiding them while looking for stragglers / lone targets. We almost got one in SV5, but the Horde fleet landed on us while he was low shield. We had to bail, and lost 3 more talwars.

Next, we saw a Harpy fleet flying around. We warped to the sun at 50km and called them in local for a good old brawl at the sun. We tried to break the Kirins, but we had way too few talwars to do that. It was the same for the Harpies, so after losing another batch of talwars we bailed.

My memory starts getting fuzzy at this point, but I remember how we catch the Daredevil. Since we were really low on numbers, we looked for anything to kill. The Daredevil managed to escape us a few time, until he warped in the direction of 2 POCOS. I warped the fleet to one of them, hoping we would land on him, which was not the case. Fortunately, Decklin warped to the other one, and tackled the Daredevil, who was taunting us in local. He died and we kept going South.

Since it was getting late, we set our final destination to NH-, with each scouts going to a different "branch" of the route. Again, I followed the wrong one, and we lost a Rattle kill for that. Troven, who was on the other branch form the fleet, managed to tackle a Rattle while we were 3-4 jumps away. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, he had to bail so he could stay alive. A sabre was also coming to the rescue of the rattle. Really well done Troven and everyone, next time we'll got him
At this point we had 5 talwars and a scout left, so we started to go back towards HED-GP, hoping to whelp on the way. We poked Brave with a stick in GE-, without much result. They were ready'ing themselves for a CTA or big fleet.

A sabre was waiting for us in 9KOE, which was perfect. We started engaging him, when at least 6 falcons landed on us and started over jamming everyone on grid. We bagged the sabre tho, and lost only 2 talwars. I died there, but I could have escaped a thousand time, if I was not lazy to get this ship back to a station
It was a death roam anyway, even if some people escaped and made their way to safety : Congratulations to Decklin, ashahara and Tsuwen (21:03:01Z) 9KOE-A

- Nothing much to say, expect you need at least 20-30 talwars for a full, well organized roam. It was pretty fun tho, and I'm glad we got this WH connection. We did killed some nice stuffs, so it was pretty fun.
- I did not spell checked, sorry
