Short Time Working

As expected, I wasn't able to start the computers until after six this evening, and get SirGalahad back down to level five of Maargadum Jail for a comparatively brief session - as of course the Sunday Quiz was looming, at 8:30pm UK time. Gal was able to get the drake to level 35, and a little way beyond.

For the short session before the Quiz, Memree went out to Prokion Temple, and reached level 27, adding in all 56.41%, mainly fighting orc soldiers; her dragon hatchling levelled up too, reaching level six - and adding 112 skill points meant that another passive skill could be maximised.

There was time for a little trading around of stuff before the Quiz, so Rage (as in xRAGEx) has loaned her +11 rogue 30/32 armour set to Memree, getting an unplussed set in return, and passed over her level 33 +14 crossbow as well. Memree can't use that crossbow until level 29 without a 50% decrease in its attack - but even half that weapon's full attack is better than the +4 level 29 one, so she will give it a go.

It wasn't all bad news for Rage, as she exchanged her level 10 hatchling for the level 35 drake that SirGalahad had been working on, so the buff from the drake should go some way to keeping her armour rating up - though she is at least slightly retired from active service until another +10 armour set is earned.

The quiz must have taken just about half an hour, the questions were very slow in coming - and there were some difficult ones. On Tairen-2 we lost more than half our number on the "which item can you not feed a horse", as they can't have noticed the "not" there. We had the "how many NPCs are there in Dratan, 27 or 29", which is, like the number of oases there, the lower figure; I think we have had that question before, but not for a long time...and "four foxes on the moon statue gives you what reward" had I think been seen before, but not for ages... for the record it was the smaller size of crystal. Well, foxes are pretty small.

"Complaining just makes it take longer", the GM in charge commented, so people on a number of subservers must have been commenting on how slow things were. We did have the usual "Mad Monster Spawn is on Monday or Tuesday" question, which turns up most weeks, it seems... the only problem is that recently the main MMS has actually been on a Wednesday, with the Auzura special European ones on Monday... but the correct answer is still Tuesday.

So, a dozen or so of us reached the end, and got our full share of prizes - Kaerella and MistressDomina included. Unfortunately Gamer wasn't online for the Quiz, which presumably messes up her plans for returning the gold she borrowed, for the moment.

Rage had also passed over five cracked axes along with her armour, so Memree was able to complete the quest that required them, which led on to a visit to Shuraine to complete another quest - so Memree added another 17.16% and 6 skill points rather easily, before logging out for the night.

Instead of putting SirGalahad to work levelling up the hatchling he got from Rage, MistressDomina stayed around, and after getting loot from Rage and Memree, went into merchant mode for the night. She took in ten million quite quickly, but who knows what the next few hours will manage?
