Great Lord Yendor's image appears, festooned with vines and garlands and carrying a huge basket of fruit.
"Thank you for your excellent performance at my Harvest Festival! Let's hope for just as good a crop of Magic Beans next   
year. As you're a music lover I'd like to teach you this country dance tune, played by the hard working farmers of the 
Inner Region at planting time. It's a lovely old song, and perhaps there's some magic in it too."
The tune is difficult, but you manage to keep up.
While he plays you help yourself to a few of his special biscuits. You're also quick enough to grab a handful of fruit 
while he's not looking.

Well CRAP ! one late night, and one bad alarm clock means I have to start all over again. *sigh* I have also decided that maybe its time for me to host a party. I have the records, and there is no party following the current one. [I could also use the kudos, damn those peeves are hungry.] I was originally going to hold out until Aug. when we go to Jamaica for ten days. I was thinking of having one on Holiday Island. How fitting. But I'm thinking I can come up with 10 more records between now and then, and have BOTH !.

"You haven't got a spare Soul, by any chance? Hmm, suppose it wouldn't be fair after what you've done for me."

After using up three more measures of serenity to blow through the Bomb Squad yesterday, I decided to recharge at the party. I was going to port back to OZ to do more totems when my AP was full, but dreaded making another rune. Then I thought about gold blings, and the fact that I had 20 mysterious envelopes. I went on a treasure hunt instead, and dug up one chest in the frozen north. (No frostbite this time) Didn't get a Gold Bling, but Misril is nothing to shrug off either. I have 19 more chances :)

Adventures in the great white north. I used a stone to go to the normal realms, walked north across the great planes, and into the frozen north, then summoned back to oz.

Things learned on the trip

Snakes, no matter how friendly you are, do not like to be petted .. ever.

A poision level of five sucks about once an hour

If your tribble skin coat wears out on top of a Tarn, move to lower ground before making a new one.

especially if you need to skin the tribbles

and make a needle

The worst level of frostbite can be gained instantly by spending over 150 AP on a tarn when not wearing enough clothes.

You can survive a LONG time losing 4hp a turn if you did 35 levels of hard knocks.

You are not TOLD you can make a giant snowball, you just get one. So you might not need to actually GO to the North Pole.

If you upgrade the north pole, it might use five golden runes you had made for a golden fiddle.

Which will leave you with only four pieces of enchanted wood

No matter how many giant snowballs you make, using three measures of serenity in one night makes you wonder why you did it

PotatoEngineer is a nice guy

To be fair, I knocked all the snakes and the ROUS off military service, got promoted, and only have 19 left for the next promotion. I picked up the north pole, and got the giant snowball I needed for Totems. If I didn't need to do all those things on the way, I would most certainly have hit the markets first.

After drinking nine cups of coffee, and a lot of machete work, I made my way through the interior to the mountain pass. I might have to save up some AP and knit a jumper so I do not have to wear my ear muffs as they are my last pair. I managed to bag a Morphius, but am not sure I have enough golf clubs to take down even the smallest vorderman I have seen. I started keeping track of my coffee intake today, 400 cups is SOOOO far away, might have to use a clinic invite a few times between now and then. I will definitely go after a head hunter last. That way I can at least save on the travel time back to the mainland if he puts me in the pot. Got a Tripod too. Debating on if I REALLY want to climb this mountain.

You read the inscription. It tells of 24 mighty magical totems built by some great race or something... blah blah blah. 
The important bit seems to be that each totem is connected to another and those who follow and enforce the connections can gain great power!

Managed to get rid of all of the frozen north creatures without freezing to death. Before heading back to OZ I figured I would get the first level of military service. Of course I didn't have enough AP to get the first level AND make it to the plane, so I drank me some coffee :

You lose a Mug of Coffee.
You gain an Empty Mug.
You feel a bit better. Damn caffeine tolerance.

Figured while I was up in the great frozen north, that I would get what I needed for military service. I think I might mark a talisman up here too for later, since I think I'll have to come back eventually for other quests. Its friggen COLD up here though :P Only six more trophies and I can get back to OZ. [After another long flight]


Aug 15 2007 22:16 GMT-5

Back from holiday. 12 Measures of serenity and counting, someday I will cash these things in, probably when I do totems. Decided to go make myself two golems in the arena today, would expect folks might want to leave them alone, I've been bleeding myself for a month in preparation .. and added every fire knife I have found since I started playing, in addition to whatever the market had below 2000 GP. I gathered another handful of Issues as well.

There is no way I will be able to get another 30 crystals and still get to a monastery before we go on holiday. Back to the space elevator I go.

I'm hanging out in space. I had to come up here for Military Service, so I figured I would buy a phaser and stock up on crystals. My goal is 100, which I hope is enough to keep me in phaser repairs, and speed boat repairs for a while, at least long enough to restock my can-o-worm supplies. I saw a road runner on the space station, was a little surprised.

You attack the Space Invader.
You cause 50 points of damage, and receive 500 experience.
You slay the Space Invader.
