Intermission
In July of 2008, I finally made the jump from Napa Valley to Siege Perilous. I did this for a couple of reasons. If you couldn't tell from my last 10 or so episodes, I became increasingly disenchanted by what Napa had left to offer (and I think it showed). I re-read my Prologue and... well... I accomplished what I set out to do. It was time for a new goal and it was time to start from scratch. This time I wasn't going to wait around until my skills were nearly finished. On Siege, I'd be stealing while I was training and not letting a little ROT get in the way.
It's different when you're not invincible with top gear, skills, and stats. Following my skill gain will be a theme throughout.
This is where the third chapter of the Mis-adventures begins.
Hail friends,
Years ago I sought out adventure in the farthest reaches of Sosaria. I layed down my burdens, strapped on my thigh high knickers and not before long, I found myself on the sandy beaches of Terra Sanctum.
I sought out adventure once before. I seek it again.
Siege Perilous.
I'm on the edge of the point of no return and... I think I like it. And the more I soak it in, the more I find myself asking myself that one undeniable truth, "What took you so long?"
The un-insured treasures! The weapons! The jewels! The treasures -- DEAR GOD, THE TREASURES!
...
(But first thing's first.)I won't be able to impress anyone in my new home walking around on two-legs (like a cave man).

A little patience and a little swaggling & fanagalling later, and I was ready to impress the drunkest (and sluttiest!) of wenches in this strange, new and wonderful land.I step out into the light with a new found swagger and find Lady a cu sidhe at the gate.

(She wishes she were four-legged.)
A fine jewel. Something I'll be back for later.
...
(But first thing's first.)With my spirits high (and my skills at an all-time low), I begin the grind at the bank of Minoc while others come and go and barely notice my presence.

I try to be strict with myself. I try to stay focused...

...but the treasure won't steal itself.
Back to Luna and I wouldn't have to wait long.Bob Evans of TD has with him a blessed pair of Swords of Prosperity and a suspicious little pouch in the bottom left of his pack.

(Let's take a look.)Ah-ha!

Members of KoC and C8V and Gil and TnT zoom back and forth across this high traffic area. With nothing to lose (except my impresssionable wenches) I reach out my paws and take what's mine.I go grey.

At 61.2 stealing, this 1 stone recipe is proving to be more trouble than I bargained for.
Sir Daniel of KoC pops through the gate and finds himself face-to-face with this grey, little, four-legged creature. Running would do no good. I stand my ground and wait for the shadows to come to me. ...
I fail to hide.At 82.1 Hiding, I wait for the sting of Sir Daniel's arrow in my four-legged face.

...
I never comes.

I fail to hide again.At this point a handful of others have also spotted me in the act... and still... I don't run.

"I'm with him." I tell them all with my body language and we continue to stare each other down. I wait and wait and attempt to hide again.(Success.)

"What's mine is mine!" I tell them all as I find myself wondering how much a treasure such as this would fetch on Siege. And who better to ask than one of Bob Evan's guildmates?
![]()
(Nuts.)
![]()
Bob Evans and the (Mighty?) guild of TD. There is so much I don't know about this place... and there's so much more I've yet to see.
'Til next time!
