@Curious - YAY! Salutations, and so forth.....AD has been made into kitty chow.

Sorry to read about you forgetting to loot. I did have to giggle a little. Sounds like something
all of us have done or come close to doing at least once (or more) during this game.

Like @happy_daiz said though, you won't be so intimidated now, and you will do it more often. Besides, how else ya going to godsbane for those damn lvl. 3 weapons. "Gotta catch dem all!" Or was it, "Gotta play to win." LOL! Sorry.....I'm in a weird mood right now.
@Shepen - Dammit woman. You get the best friggin snaps. *cackle!* BTW, one of the best things about escort missions: standing around till the one you are escorting just sits down. Though, it kinda makes me think of that dillweed, Montebank.....hrmm.
@happy - Hey lady *wink*.

I did finally play yesterday, with Ari and Castor. Thanks to Shepen's awesome lvl. 3 weapon gift, I did get the Sanguine Stalk purified. Excellent! Went through five dragons last night trying to get it dragon forged, with zero results. Bogus.

This is the extent of my picture taking, because of it:

Yup. That is it. <sigh>
It has been fun "mirroring" spells with Castor. And, I did find a great way to kill a condemned Gorecyclops with Sorcerer, at a lower level. Stand in the alcove with one of the pawns being a sorcerer as well. They will "mirror" your spells (assuming you are using a pawn that has similar spells assigned). I just rinse and repeated High Bolide and Glicel (while using Periapts and later Salomet's potion), and Castor mirrored me everytime. Nice and safe in the little alcove.

I also got "ated" by a Cursed Dragon. Seriously. One chomp. Dead....dead, dead, deadski. I keep thinking they just do "love bites", like they do with Ulee who is a toughy, sporting gold forged duds. Not squishy little Ari, in the clothes she is "trying" to DF.

Back to it.........
