Christmas fun!

Indy related this fun tale of the time she came against the horrible snowmonster out in the north diamond golem country. This last Evening, she was out escorting a clanmate to the snowman village when the monster showed up and stomped all over this one snowfellow's carrot patch. As there were already several battling the moneter, she didn't think much of it at first, finally bringing out her wand for a couple of vuln-type spells. Then she heard one of the fighters complain that this monster had some amazing endurence. so when the monster came her way after a particularly well-cast spell, she brought out sword and shield to join the battle. It took quite some time to fell the beast, and quite a bit of assistance... then, before the troop could catch a moments breath, along comes Scorn the magma golem. Exclaiming to the clannie surprise at having to meet up with the golem again so very soon, she again launched into battle. afterwich, having oportunity to look on some of the corpses, they found coals and frozen gifts.

So it was a beaming Indy that met me at the villa, and in her arms, she held this sweet doll house! ahh.. now if we could just locate the holiday lights before the season is too quickly over!

Perhaps I should take a jaunt over the mountains to the snowman village this evening.

The portal Opens once more

Finally, the portal snapped back into some clarity and I was once more able to reach Dereth. Just in time for the Christmas season too! Snow lies thick all around the villa. It's so beautiful!

Someone has taken it upon themselves to install an icebox in the middle of the place.. head of the stairs, just off from my room, and I'm freeeezing!! After the first couple of minutes standing there shivering, I put on all the clothing and armor I possessed.. and I'm Still cold! Gotta get that icebox thingie OUT of the villa! It's frosting over the stairs! Whose big bright idea was it to put this thing in here anyway?!! *growl* when I get hold of whoever it was...

ANYway!
It IS good to be back.. although it somehow seems quieter then ever now.

Indy has picked up a penguin pet from somewhere. its perfectly adorible! I'm starting to think she's becoming obsessed though. If she starts trying to build a giant-sized "ship-o-critters" in the nearby lake, I'll consider shoving her through the next portal to Neopia. She'd prolly love it... likely she'd try to bring Pyxie back with her too.

Holiday blues and intros

The portal mess-ups continue, barring me from Dereth for quite a bit longer then I imagined. This is really sad for me, because I always seem to feel so... cut-off...bereft... when this happens. A bit, I think, like suddenly losing the use of one's thumbs might feel like.

I did get this rather nice letter from a friend of mine over in one of the many NWN server worlds. His name is Westlin...

Dear Sinshae,

Greetings to you from the sandy lands of NWN! It's been a bit since I have last written you, this is true. I have been searching for sometime now for another home where I would not forever feel like My poor lil gargoyley self is being hunted. Perhaps at last, I have found such a peaceful roost... and a couple of rather nice friends as well.
One of which is a vampire. her peculiar tastes in beverage notwithstanding, she has quite a busy personality, always up to something or off to somewhere exciting! but certainly quite pleasent company.
The other is called Kiku, a rather lovely gargie such as myself, I must say. Kiku is perhaps the only other such that I have ever seen in this land.
I have also made the aquaintence of a rather strange fellow called Meouh, who not only delights in trailing after me wherever I roam, but also to help guard my rather glosy-black self and carry whatever packs I give into keeping without a single complaint.
The wonders never seem to end!

Perhaps you might someday come to visit me here. I would be pleased to introduce you to some of the people and places in the area.

Wups, Meouh is gotten himself into a bit of a fix with several disagreable Stingers and needs my attention. More at a later time.

Care and Caring,
"West"
