BUT BEFORE YOU READ THIS: Here is my question--Are the Hoary gone? I didn't see in programmers notes "removed Hoary from Creatures" has anyone been up there? Or did we all just assume that they are gone? hmmmmm......

Love to try the portal thing when I get back from Qalabar (if ever). I am suffering from Mayoi anxiety--helped a couple people free stuff getting bodies and what not, now I get bugged a lot-hopefully it will fade soon. I spent most of last night running around just being stupid. I thought qalabar would be a good place to hang for awhile since not many people know who i am. I probably won't be on again until maybe weds or thurs--more likely Friday. I want to know when you get item--if you can get lifestone portal--we can take the dires portal and just beam back to mayoi when done. I must admit I am looking for new things to kill-matty lugie matty lugie matty lugie fairy matty lugie matty lugie shaman lugie -run ash!!!
-sigh-

If you know where these things are this is what I want to kill or see-shore dillo, copper golem, shadow (no lt shadow only), Diresdiresdires, bandy hill, olthoi, arwic beach, dryreach, lots and lots more -babble- fizzle This has been my life recently: Pain went to Tibris spear dungeon near cragstone--Rimgar and I met up (we were hunting in mayoi when i heard-death by mountain rat there) with him and got one for rhodry. Pain got 4 and sold 3. The biggest thing there is a bandie captain (got a new critical record 78). What guards the spear?--8 yes 8 black rats- but don't worry they don't spawn at exactly the same time. It has a 10th lvl restriction for some inane reason. If you need $ I would just hang there and load up on spears and then sell em.

After that discovered dungeon in the middle of nowhere whilst hunting the shadow kids (took out 3 children at once-not too hard really-just as long as you dodge all the spells-the one that got me did 40). Pain had to log so I portalled to cragstone and then Qalabar.

Hooked up with Beryl and vassal-got killed by an ivory gromnie about 30 seconds after attuning. Showed beryl lugie fort, after killing some matty and bronze dillo,which he/she loved (never realized the laigos are 33 obeleth are 50 something) we got a few of those-Beryl more than me.

Rimgar mssged me about his account being cancelled, so I had to meet him in shoushi and muled all of his stuff. I started a nudist party in hebian-to with my new mule Rach the Gimp--I ran around naked in a mushroom hat declaring hebian-to a nudist colony and typing :scratches self. Best part was when I dumped all my first level gear--a hoard of people raided it...funniest thing I have seen yet. Naked man in a middle of a pile of junk surrounded by people in green mire curiasses and whatever other tinsle their patrons paid them off with grubbing at my feet for a pair of 2p shoes--I decided being a severe mocking mule was well worth it.

Fortunately Rim's account was okay they just didn't accept the type of credit card he gave them--yeah for nice front end stuff.

Then another lifestone portal (you gotta buff me so I can learn the rest--that's all I care about at the moment. I have been trying to learn until I burn too many components--I am wondering if portal tie target shouldn't be portal instead of self--Do you know????????????). shot two more lugies and logged. Bleah.

AND ON A FINAL NOTE: RACH' MANN's UNTESTED SHADOW KILLING PROCEDURE/S

PROCEDURE A:
1) get an archer
2) get a mage
3) get a tank
4) archer buffs archer--mage buffs archer
5) archer shoots shadow--Mage casts the following : slowness other vuln other. Tank waits for the charge.
6) archer gets the crap beat out of him.
7) mage helps archer stay alive (or not depends)
8) tank beats on the shadow or gets beat on by shadow 8) expected result: archer dies- tank almost kills shadow and then dies- mage runs like hell or takes it like a man he dies. Everyone runs back as quick as possible so shadow is still almost dead. Repeat. victory!!!!! x 3 and your day is done.

PROCEDURE B:
1) Click on shadow, click on chat, click on 'Tell to Shadow'
2) Insult the shadows' mothers or tell them to hit CTRL V. This usually results in something-sometimes free stuff. If not repeat until a response is provoked.
3) Inform everyone that runs by that there is a shadow here so be careful.
4) Throw a Strange Stick at them. With any luck one will fetch it for you. If they do reward them with a treat-say a 5th lvl character.
5) Wait until you see a group of high lvl characters standing around hunting something else. Run up to the shadows and then towards the high level characters. Make sure you scream--"Azure Gromnies" to ensure the high level characters will engage the shadow.
6) Enjoy a slice of pizza during the fireworks show.
