thessalianAnother afternoon I slept right through. These four-hour 'naps' in the middle of the day really need to stop.
Though I did kick some arse with my death gnome earlier today. This mainly by sticking to areas I knew I could handle and generally kicking the crap out of things. I have discovered that, while Stonega is still inherently dangerous, Shock is a very useful spell that reduces a mob's Mind stat as well as taking down their HP gradually. So ... y'know, score. 2600 points to go before I hit level 17, fine, but at least I'm getting there. Plus I've got a decent amount of gil again, in part because a Goblin Fisher I took down for the hell of it (and got 20 XP for, so hey) dropped a bamboo fishing rod; it's not as good as the one I had, but it's serving well enough at the minute. Grilled some hare meat, boiled some crayfish (lost half my crystals doing it, but gained some cooking skill, so I guess it's not all bad) did some clothcraft and sold the results, plus planted three seed packets so my garden's doing something again. Huzzah huzzah.
Kyr's a goddess, by the way. Despite being ill, and despite the extensive work she plans to do on CbN to fix things after the crash, she's still talking about possibly doing some one-on-one scenes with people to get them back into character after the enforced hiatus. She is a sweetie. I've also got the most recent newbie on IM as well now. I don't think he realised that we'd lost everything since February (despite it being all over the boards and site) and so felt that the majority of the people on the forums were 'standoffish'. Little misunderstandings happen to the best of us, I suppose.

dodgyhoodoo is getting curry. I would also like curry but am being sensible and not getting any. My digestive system is not dealing very well in general so putting curry in it is probably a bad move. Wah. Well, there is soup. I am really getting fed up with this.
