Hail friends,
Finding a quiet corner, trying to answer nature's call, my bodily fluids come to a halt as Spock interrupts my "happy time."With happy time cut short, I was already in a grumpy mood. But it's at these times that I find the greatest treasure. It's at these times that what little inhibition I have left is shoved back in it's box.
I arrive at the entrance to Fire and can hear the faint echoes of Baracoon's pipe from here! Spock was already on the hunt. Durga of KOS was preparing for battle. I enter the cave and find the ghosts of a swamp dragon & a hiryu just as Spock had said. Tonight was going to be a good night. Better than happy time? It remains to be seen.
As I enter, WtF? was re-grouping the the ledge above to the right and a KOS & GoV alliance is holding the fort. With some carefully timed side-steps and a single shadow jump I move into possition.
Two alliance members block the path. But how to get past?When Spock bumps a paralyze field, quickly hides, but the two guards jump into action! Just the distraction I needed.
(For the greater good my friend! The greater good!)With the the guards preoccupied at the bridge (doing a good job at it holding their enemies at bay), I move about the island without worry. Their minds would be unfocused. A little thief would be the least of their worries. (At least that's what they tell themselves.)
But who was the protector? I choose Woo Fe.I choose incorrectly...
...remain patient, and choose again!The fallen KOS cross the bridge in need of a rez, and buy me some time. Not much time, but just enough.
Success!
As I wait for my criminal status to fade, things get ugly, and they get ugly fast.The battle rages on around me while Spock scouts the star room as a ghost.
I decide on a more conservative road and escape with my prize through the back door of Deceit.
I bank my prize, but the night was still young! Spock heads back in to claim his well earned gold and I head to Yew Gate exactly where I knew they'd be congratuating themselves on a successfully protected spawn. ^^What's this?
Deepest Waters of /US\ carries......a mighty leafblade!
She watches the ebb & flow of the battle from the safety of the gate guards.
Too many pairs of eyes to attempt a steal of an 8 stone blade. (You'd think a blade made of leaves would weigh a little less. But it's almost as heavy as a 10 stone stool! It's true!)
I wait for her to make a mistake...
...and I don't have to wait long.
No time to celebrate.
I find a quiet corner, release my bladder, and happy time picks up right where I left it.
'Til next time!
