Solo Flight

Sky was the order of the night. I had gotten to sky and scouted out Despot and Mother Globe, while Eiael left his character there and took Emmaline to scout for Faust. There was no Faust, but Mother Globe did pop, so I got on the horn and called for every able bodied person who wasn’t tied up in Salvage to come help.

No sooner than we had gotten assembled and climbing the Shrine than another linkshell arrived and assembled. They pulled Mother Globe seconds before we were going to. Unfortunately for them, they were a bit hasty in their pull. They had no way of keeping their tank alive - he bit the dust in a matter seconds and lost claim. We wasted no time, and we were rewarded with a shiny new Springstone.

Rounded out the evening in sky with attempts to pop Steam Cleaner, but he decided to be a no-show. After nearly an hour of that, people were getting sleepy and we called it a night. My first solo attempt at leading sky, and I’m very thankful I had people with me who were experienced and cool-headed. I’ll do better next time: I’m sure of it.

Had a hard time sleeping, so I hopped on Xbox Live and played the Bioshock demo through. That game is creepy at night, but the story looks absolutely intriguing. I wish I could afford to pick up some of the titles I’ve been looking at: there seem to be a lot of story-heavy games for the 360. I’m a big fan of story.

BLM party tomorrow night. Talon will be joining us on his BLM for the first time, so we're gonna start scouting out more manaburn-friendly camps. Dunno if we're gonna keep trying to find tanks or just strike out as mages onry. It's also the last day I'm giving the guy I bought the routers/switches from before I report him. It has been over two weeks, but I finally got ahold of him on the phone. He said he would get a tracking number to me tomorrow. We'll see...
