I Got Eaten By A Tree...

thessalianSo ... yeah. Cavernous Maws. Yeeeeeesh.
See, I was going to just log into FFXI, check my AH sales, check my garden (I have been soloing Stalking Saplings for fruit seeds. Eight Saplings, one bag of fruit seeds, much annoyance...) and log out again. But then, for reasons beyond me, I got caught by the curiosity and decided I would go and try this "Cavernous Maw taking one to the past, during the Crystal War" thing. I figured, what's the worst that could happen?
Nothing bad happened, thanks to Sneak and Invisible, but ... mother of gods that place is scary. I mean, all of them. Everything in them cons as "Incredibly Tough" to someone at my level (in this case, 37 WHM, who soloed a Sabretooth Tiger and a Batallia Downs Goblin Leecher just yesterday. Who says WHM can't solo?). There were dragon-looking things in Pashhow Marshlands. And these things that looked like warped and twisted manta rays, and Sprites and I don't know what the hell they conned as because cue me, under Sneak and Invisible, running like hell. And not all the ways through various areas are the same, so I got as far as the Konschtat Highlands zone line in Pashhow and discovered, ooh, it's been blocked off. And I couldn't for the life of me remember which way I was supposed to go so I just gave up and warped out to the present again. I'll go back another time. When I have more time and less headache. At least I now know that I can probably navigate Garlaige Citadel and Eldieme Necropolis under Sneak and Invisible well enough, if I could haul teeny Taru arse across two zones with IT-conning eeeeeevil everywhere I went without taking a single bit of aggro...
Yes, the headache continues apace. Damn all, I am going in to work tomorrow, come hell or high water. This headache has been plaguing me for two days now. I am going to ignore it, and hope to whatever gods are listening that it will go the hell away. I've tried lying down in a dark room. I've tried distractions (but that just means I don't really feel it until the distraction stops). I've tried damn near everything I can think of and it just. Will not. STOP. *whimper* Maybe the new glasses will help. I dunno. I can hope, right?
I hate my head.
