While it is not nearly as nice as being home, it was very fun running around with Margie (Honeygun and Kazima) last night. Even if the resolution of the modem failure has not resolved the mapserver discos (and at least one service outage last night) …
Also, thanks to both Doyce (Hang Time) and Lee (Cap’n Carnage) for squiring Velvet around through Very Bad Places (Talos Island and Peregrine Island). I picked up about half a level and about 60k of enhancements.
The hairiest part of the adventure was on PI when Lee stopped, ran back to me, said, “That doesn’t look good,” I asked “What?”, and he messaged back, “I’ll stay here till you get back,” at which point the Mapserver Disco message came up for me. Eep!
And it wasn’t a simple back-and-login. The hotel broadband account had “expired” (despite my having chosen three free days), so I had to re-register and get back on, several minutes later. I had images, Lee’s reassurance notwithstanding, of reappearing in the midst of PI with my little 13th level character no longer SKed to a 50th, and facing innumerable Things that were not only Purple, but Ultraviolet to me. Eep!
Cap’n Carnage may not be very cute, but he was beautiful to see when I reappeared … 🙂
Anyhow, I hope I acquitted myself well against the various nasties and that Lee wasn’t too bored by it all.
So that’s where Doyce run’s off to around 10:00 at night.
Just a little note:
MoFo made 14th last night, and Flying is very cool!
A power hog, but cool.
P.S. Had a Frosty Hat-Trick as well for a full level of Frosty goodness. So that Sould put me up to 18W-2L on Kill Frosty.
Well, I know who to invite along on that particular adventure … 🙂
