Two Mages in the Temple

I left SirDarth levelling the new horse overnight; we did get some nasty little creep coming along and killing our Berserker, leaving Darth just standing there, but luckily there was a disconnection not too long after that, so at least the hunger bar stopped going down, and when I was able to set things up again, we continued usefully for the rest of the night. MistressDomino was busy selling stuff too, and did pretty well, getting rid of my supply of Chaos Balls and some other items.

While SirDarth continued working on the horse, I managed to fit in an hour in Prokion Temple for MistressDomina, using the 115% extra skill exp boosts - and got 310 skill points, or 361 for the entire session after continuing on for a bit, plus 1347 pet points.

Over lunch, Kaerella did some mining, including using a number of her tool aids, so that she was able to pass over 700 quality stones to Darth, who had been starting to run a bit low.  Once I was back at the keyboard properly, MistressDomina went back, and did a couple more 115%-extra hours, grabbing 329 and 422 skill points.  The 422 figure is pretty much in line with what I was getting yesterday, so I'm a bit puzzled why the other two hours were so much lower.  The morning one did have a minor interruption or two, but not more than a couple of minutes, I'm sure.  Anyway, the afternoon's total skill point gain was 779, plus 2162 pet points, making a total for today for MistressDomina of 1140 skill points and 3509 pet points.

It was MistressDomina's turn to get rid of some of her stash of tool aids by doing some mining, over the early evening food interval, but after that I switched to MistressSabina, who gets to go to the less advanced parts of Prokion Temple, so far.  A level 20 healer called ElfMage came into the room I was killing Mummies in, and started to make herself at home - we sometimes hit the same Mummy, and I think she was a bit disconcerted that two heaven stones dropped for me in quick succession.  She had a knight with her, but he didn't stay very long; at her request I joined their party, but moving along to the Orc Soldiers, while fine for me and giving them good experience, did prove a bit dangerous for her.  Still, it's useful to have a healer on one's Friends list.

ElfMage left after a while, and once MistressSabina reached reached level 25 I headed back to Randol, and upgraded the "Discipline" guild to level 4, which took 120 skill points and 500,000 gold, and got a few skills with the remaining points I'd earned.  There weren't quite enough for the new third level of Flame Storm, so I went back to Prokion for another briefer session and got a few more.  With the various skill-learnings it got a bit complicated, but I'd say around 150 skill points got earned in all, as well as 1615 pet points, and, as Sabina's experience isn't frozen, 59.40%.

MrChuckNorris managed to have a not very long session with the Poison Mists.  Fellow Norcaine member Legacy, a level 33 assassin-type rogue (which means using daggers rather than a crossbow) made the trip down from Prokion to join him - being in the same party meant he could see Chuck's dot on the map.  Legs was a bit underwhelmed with the amount of experience the Poison Mists gave, considering that he is six levels below them, and soon went off to try the canines in Maargadum Jail instead.  They weren't very generous, either.

Chuck only added 11.03% experience, 13 skill points, and 350 pet points, but hey, it makes a change from mage-style goings-on in Prokion Temple.  Levelling up there isn't fast, but it makes sense to get to level 38, and learn the Fire Command skill to increase the hit rate of bow and crossbow users in a party, before trying to get into a party to fight the Sphinx Speer Men and Sphinx Fighters.
