Hope everyone is warm, safe and happy this coming week.

Friday a cold rainy day, glad to be off work. In game I tried to take courtin and jonwin to crypt of decay, first pull was two mobs, no problem killing the first but forgot the second one would run. So jonwin valiently followed it for the kill and died to all the adds. Since other folks were in the zone and I didnt want to train them Courtin tried to fight off 6 with his aoe proc and self heal spells. But that spell has to proc as well and it didnt seem to want to. Used expiediant recovery on both.
Switched to rogue in drooga for a few kills, logged on druid in the grey to farm for hearty shissar blood, though now all the potions i can make from them are trivial. Logged on the ranger Adeste, who was in Ac looking to replace the heart of sky aug. It dropped after 25 min and I finished out the Lod i was burning. Did a stillmoon temple task later with Courtin.
Later in the evening I took adeste to HOH with one of my Lucky insane friends and ground out 3 aa's to get him endless quiver. (This was just after getting some HQ lion skins made into fleeting quivers. Send me tell on povar if you want to buy one. )
Shaman made potions, and Jonwin did an Ldon with my friends from LI. 65 to 75 range in players and mercs.

Saturday was a day of work on the ship, not too cold and dry thankfully.
Coming home in game I took the shaman on a Don run with LI friends. We failed the mission but no one died. Took time out to see Raven's beat Cowboys. What a great game for Bawlmer, Merlin and Cowboy haters. Back in game I just chatted and moved stuff around.

Sunday Worked on ships, steel side, but thankfully sun was out and I was able to take off a few layers of clothing. Read HANGING HENRY GAMBRILL, a history of Baltimore and "political" gangs during the 1850's. Winter is slow for tourism.
Came home to find elne clare had left me. She went to a yule feast with her daughters and grandchildren.
In game we had an Aude Sapere group! It was chlorr on his 54 Warrior, Mandie on her 55 Sk and me on the 62 ranger. We were in POI, most mobs to me were lb, but i did get the aug drop, as did Mandie, and no one died. Ground out 4 AA'S and a yellow of exp. After a break I took courtin on a don run. On way out we got aggro somehow from 4 mobs. 1st player cleric went down, and while i Was able to hold heals on some it was a losing fight. Group ran to zone and I ALMOST made it out. Should have clicked on da when i saw 4 mobs between me and the door. Anyway the rezz got back most of my exp and the crystals will go to use.
Again a happy holiday to all!

Sunday:
Broke 200 AAs on War on Tunare mostly by doing EF LDoNs, trying to build up some points for a Anger II proc aug, and later on, at 65, the Avoidance +8% aug. Made it half-way in points to the Anger II .. Yay! Probably could of gotten all of them, but due to scheduling problems, one christmas party was moved to Sun, so was gone most of the day.

Saturday:
Leveled my first Necro up on Tunare to level 17. Actually liking it so far, but probably 'cause still easy to melee. And I probably won't like it later, when I have to resort to kiting ... I got sick of kiting when leveling the Ranger up.

Got the hotzone aug from Crypt of Decay on the Rogue and my War on Druzzil. War finally got rid of last dwerium piece, with a new ear, and the DSK hotzone aug. Played a while on War in DSK.

Friday:
Finished up BoT map, after getting all the keys Wed and Thu for the Rog. XP'd some in BoT, was a bit annoying having to tank as Rog, but you do what yo must :D

EDIT: Stopped for an appointment this am, and just finished it up.

Yther Ore.

Saturday: I hit 500 AA, leveled my cloak to https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=47888.

Sunday: Going to role a druid alt. I spent the day trying to gather casual loot from omens and DoN. I'm looking for https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=48877. I killed every spider spawn multiple times. I never saw the magma spider. I wonder if it only spawns in the instance ?

Warrior alt went from 51-52 in HS killing mobs in the basement (including the named toothy sperm). It had an Obtenebrate Short Sword which procced during the fight and stuck...so I was chasing after it in slow motion when it turned to run. Luckily, we didn't aggro anything.

Last night the same warrior went from 52-55 in PoI with Jonwin and MissMandie. Couldn't believe how fast the levels went. Our poor frog healer merc was looking kind of stressed afterwards though. Extra bugs for him.

Necromancer killed Sev again, as well as the ukun packmaster (I think that's his name) in Noble's and got a rune for my mage. Also got the Elder Murkglider Devourerer in Dranik's Scar, dropped a ring for my BST. Fun times.

Next I hope to get some additional AA's on the warrior (avoidance and stability) and more AA's on the necro.

I haven't hardly been playing EQ at all lately. But now that the Christmas shopping is done and the tree is up, I hope to get some play time in.

Friday night and Saturday, in between the usual week-end chores, I finished up the first two Rabbit books by John Updike. Interesting. Now I just need to pick up the next two. I'm hoping Santa brings me a B&N gift card.

Sunday I started reading Duma Key by Stephen King. It's a little slow paced but getting interesting. Grouped with Marres and Jonwin as they mentioned. Had a blast crawling through PoI. SK dinged twice. Two more levels and then I'll start working some AAs.

I'm off work from 12/25 until 1/5, so I'm looking forward to some major EQ time. Smiley: yippee

Spent some time bringing up my juniors as well as helping a friend catch up.

Sat - Did several LDoNs. These Mercs make thing easy. 4 chars, 1 healer merc and 1 melee merc, the pace was astronomical. 2 Beastlords, 1 Mage and 1 Necro can dish out a lot but add in a melee merc and an overpull becomes a regular practice.

Sun - Did one more Ldon to get an additional level then traded out a beastlord for a 46 shaman and headed the group over to Dulak's. By the time all was said and done the necro who started out Friday at 16 was now 41 and still moving forward.

Still can't believe how good the mercs are as group mates.
