Ehh

I still havent gotten good enough to wear that beautiful dress waiting for me in the villa chest. It, of course didn't help that I moped around all day today. I didn't even get it together to go out to market looking for portals or ancient armor pieces.

Indy went out again today looking for gem critters... and found none but a trip to the lifestone awaiting her... and sir T2 as well. It only seemed to dampen her spirits a little tho. sir T2 had given her a special pair of gloves and didn't seem to mind in the slightest following her about in dangeous lands. Perhaps I should warn him about her always getting lost and in over her head.

She has hopes of joining a quest to get that scroll in a day or so. I'm sure that would do wonders for improving her mood.

As for me, I really need to start speaking with someone about sir F's great desire to see the queen bug. I'm sure the bug hasn't been forgotten by Dereth's people. Just locating those going hasn't been easy since all the viam land has opened up with all those new opportunities. Perhaps the minx or KK's people have someone interrested in going.

Theres a sign up ahead, "Watch for SnowMonsters!"

Today was a rather long day for the entire house.
I was up early pulling duty in town as a spellcaster for the needy.

First Indy went walk-about down south, and ran into a rather nasty snowmonster. Which chased her every-which-a-way, so I'm told. Then, after a quick trip to the snowman village, she returned home with this beautiful globe of snowflakes! What a wonderful gift!

Then she ran off to fetch a few writs for our villa and sir T's. When sir T2 showed up, she zoomed off once more, only to get lost in the wildlands of the western dires. Fortunately none died. Unfortunately, they did not locate the beasties they were after which are reported to hold a special portal gem they have need of. Likely they will try again tomarrow.

There was a bit of celebration as not only did sir B strengthen himself to equal that of sir T2 but also.. was finelly in total tip-top shape. I only wish Indy had managed to get a picture of the fireworks!

Then, with a few donations in pocket, I came up with several scrolls that were needed by other members of the clan. So I was most satisfied indeed to be of help. Now if I could -just- fit into that special dress!

As a medium to the close of the day, Indy tried working picks on several key pieces and hearts sir M had gathered... and mostly failed. I suspect the moment she thinks she has learned enough of the lore of the land for a time, she will take to better pick practice!

Recovery

The torchlight mystery has been solved at last. It was the fault of someone's new hand lotion that had been bought on a lark at the market. It caused the whole issue with the torch sputtering and such. Can you believe it?

Lume, it turns out, has finally figured that 99% chance of success in cooking, simply isn't good enough and has been totally obnoxious with the jubulent laughing and bouncing about since he was 'finally' able to fit the nice cooking shirt he has been pining over for no less then for-ever.

Indy has brought several good quality friends onto the guild fold. One of which has brought much questing expertise with him. This of course has been a cause for more celebrating and general milling about then I have been witness to in some time now.

Today, sir T2 had the clan out for a jaunt across the blueskin islands. People came for out of the woodwork to be a part of it, and really, it didn't seem to matter much when a few folks hit the lifestones once... things were reclaimed and the quest finished with good success.

Then he took me out for a toss past the crazy "foowey" dungeon to get me the single bit of exp I needed for a chance at wielding better wands. this was a real treat for me, since I -never- thought I'd get the opportunity to handle one of the 'new' wand types.

All in all, I'd say its been a wonderful week and I am looking forward to the next one. :)

The Trouble with Torchlight

Today very little was acomplished other then Indi's lag-death somewhere to the south of the obsideon plains, Tan's sudden fear of the future, and my on-going trouble with the villa's flakey torchlight.

Somehow I just 'know' Lume is involved in the constant torch sputterings that have plagued our villa since the onset of winter. I don't know just what he did, but he simply -Has- to have a hand in it somehow. He's always been one for these things.... making gaping holes in the walls, hacking green smoke that took hours to dissapate, how about when he tried to turn all the armor pink (or day-glo orange!), or the time he was behind that nasty hand rash that would suddenly spring up at the mere thought of the word 'work'? and well.. He has been awfully quiet of late. So I know he can't be guiltless. I'll catch him..sooner or later, just you wait.
