For Honor and Country

Well, during this gap of things happening, a mad dash was made against some Anticans in support of the Galka in the Bastok Mines district, which the President actually supported us in. It was rather refreshing to be able to at least think that he might truly care about the good of all our people. We journeyed through the Quicksand Caves and to Kuftal Tunnel, seeking out the clues left by the wandering Werei in the name of the Talekeeper's Quest. Thanks to Anjana, Lexi, Hatchetwarrior, Pupp, Enedin, and anyone else whose name now slips my mind. That's what I get for waiting this long to tell the tale, eh?

I know, I know! Guan, didn't you say you were going to add more pictures? Yes, I did. But that would require me not doing things in my limited time and instead just going through the navigator to clear loads of S/s. (Would help if they let me do that during UPDATES!!! ><)

Ahhh, and Diabolos. It was a fun battle, but one that he stood no chance in! Aurridaur (BLU/???), Vitehite(WHM/BLM), Anu (BLM/WHM), Ssjgogeta (NIN/WAR), myself (RDM/NIN) and Werewolf (THF/NIN) went into the depths of the shadows and sought out the Terrestrial Avatar of Dreams, Diabolos. And ... we promptly handed him his arse. There wasn't even a danger of death. Major props to Aurridaur who Head Butted his WSs into oblivion, as Nightmares never were able to come out. I really could've slept through this one, HAHAHA! Onward we go to Riverne Site B01.

Towards the demons...

So they tell me of a place called the Shrouded Maw...it is where our little party shall be venturing next. Bryer, Anubahnu (aka, the one I massacre in spelling ><), Luneve, Jaymu, and myself will pull another, likely Verrick again (if he's around and available!) will be venturing into the depths of the area to seek out the dark one, Diabolos. Being well prepared with medicines in CoP is a necessity, but I should revert to our Promies as evidence of that.

Jumping topics like a game of Q-Bert, the Mammets....were astoundingly easy. Of course, I got to show the joys of RDM/NIN there, and run around kiting the peons with Bryer while the core party battered the other down one at a time. Then Bryer took hers back to the party, and soon it was just me and a little Mammet. It was iceday, though, and bind was working well until it changed into mageform...."Eh? Firaga? You mutha...SILENCE!" That being done, it was just a leisurely jog across the room, and healing a bit while the Mammett waited on the spell to wear, and then found it upon him again as it switched to Warrior, only to whiff at my images as I trotted across the field again. Then the rest of the crew stormed into the circle, and we proceeded to light up the Mammet's world. Even our gimpy RNG *nudge nudge* Jaymu landed a few shots here and there. So with that, we ran about talking to lots of people and tracking the lost tarus, and well...it was a damn lot of detective work that eventually led us to the coming showdown with Diabolos.
