Fermented Fish Oil, Sodomy and the Lash
So I was ambling through North West Forest when I saw some nub in heap of trouble. Not bothering to see who it was, I charged on in and rescued the helpless person. It was then I realised that it was no hapless beginner at all but Stinkfist himself, captain of Lok Groton’s pirates and former admiral of the Puddleby Navy. I’m not used to saving the lives of powerful people or having them in my debt so I wasn’t quite sure what to do.
How not to fight vermine
Well, whenever I’m at a loss for words, I just stick a bagpipe or flute in my mouth to prevent talking and played something nautical. After a hornpipe and a rousing song about begging five coins for boat fare, Stinkfist made some throwaway comment of how he may have to make me Ship’s Bard. I said words to the effect of “I’ll tell you what, let me write a sea shanty and you can consider it”.
Sea shanties aren’t that hard to knock up and Lassair had requested some reggae only the night before so I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone and churned out a ditty. Both parties were suitably impressed and I have now joined my first affiliation: The Pirates of Lok Groton.
The unfortunate green colour is caused by seasickness. My Achilles heel in pirating so far
The song is only vaguely reggaeish so I might make another one more so. Smoking zu is such a rich subject matter.
In other news, I did some sums. Ore collection has long been regarded as a solo activity and a previous post talked about me zipping off to irony areas alone. I’ve changed tactics. It’s an all right idea for the übers that usually take the champ path but my defence and total lack of Troilus just can’t cut it. Nothing in my training at all is geared up for soloing
My strike rate was just too low and collecting ore by this method has been just too inefficient. So I have a new plan of action. “Measle Rules” state that if I get to test any ore my group finds, I sit out in any rolls for pieces of iron. This has immediately started paying dividends. I still have no earthstone but I’m testing for them at an increased rate and I may take less than a year now to get one now. Also, I’ve been able to hand over a ton of iron to people which makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Maybe it’s my increased connection to the earth but I’ve been scoring big time for metal on Erthon checks. This visionstone shows three successful pieces of iron in a row from three ores.
In one final piece of news, Largo was upset that I sang the praises of Bulgatra and Geotzou two entries ago but neglected to mention him. I told him that he’d have to do something exceptionally well to crack a mention. Well he obliged. In an act of pwnage that would make even Cody proud, Largo managed to take out everyone in our hunting party in the foothills except for himself, simultaneously, armed with nothing more than a shovel. An exceptional effort and one that deserves to be celebrated.
shovel pwns imo! i am totally untraining to shovel!!1!!!one!!1!
