Hero’s Progress

Friday afternoon/evening …

1. Tried to make up for the OFFICER debacle of yesterday. Did much better, dinging up to 6 (so I can run with Margie). Duoed with a blaster who eventually asked how old I was, claimed he was a Canadian 10-year-old, and, when I said I was significantly older than that, asked if I was in high school or college …
2. Went out later with Velvet Jones, sidekicking Margie’s Carilian. Got involved in a Lost mish in Kings Row that turned out to have very nasty customers in it. Eventually called for help from the Phalanx, which resulted in Jackie bringing Shock.Therapy in to help, EXed down. Fun and profit for us all (well, except for Jackie).
3. Got tied in with a significantly higher level group (30s) who wanted a tank and were willing to SK me. Which was … interesting. I think I held my own, and did okay, but it was … interesting. Lots of settings and villains I’d not run into before — Devouring Earth, Freakshow, powerful hi-tech lairs with robots and guns …
   Fortunately, they took a mish in Terra Volta, which I couldn’t enter (minimum level 20), so I took the opportunity to put Kitten down while they were busy.
   Lots of running around in areas that made me Very Nervous. Fortunately I had Super-Jump, so that when the hero SKing me flew off to the mish, I at least was mostly above ground level …
   The brightest part — aside from running with a good group (and a good Defender / healer), and that truly was a joy — was that Velvet dinged up to 18. W00T!

The big drama over at the FP sounds like it is coming to a head tomorrow. We’re off to a church dinner tomorrow night, but hopefully I’ll get some game play during the day …
