A Light Weekend, Questing July 17th to July 19th

Over the weekend, my questing can be pretty much broken into two rather broad categories: exploring some exotic islands and sewer explorations.  I kicked everything off with a morning slayer run with Cantlin (Level 12 Sorcerer) who ventured out into the exotic jungles of Sorrowdusk Isle.  Later that afternoon, after I got home from work, I took Erdrique (Level 14 Rogue) out to a different island, Ataraxia’s Haven.  Erdrique ventured out to this desert island to run the quest Sykros Jewel.  Erdrique had no problem dealing with the scrag trolls and the duergar who kidnapped Ataraxia, the daughter of Sykros.  Later that night, I joined up with Hellbanisher and we made our way out to the Restless Isles.  While out there, we headed off to the Slavers of the Shrieking Mines and took out the mind flayers and ogre magi who were dominating the native wildmen tribes.  We then started to make our way from the Slavers of the Shrieking Mines to Bring Me the Head of Ghola-Fan when we both lost internet connection.  I eventually made it back on but Hellbanisher had decided to call it a night because he had to work early Saturday morning.  I went ahead and continued on and completed Ghola-fan only I had some difficulty at the end fight when I was hit something pretty brutal, still not quite sure what it was.  In any case, I had to use a resurrection cookie to get back up and to complete the quest.  I called it a night after that run.

This past Saturday was the third Saturday of the month, so I didn’t get in game, instead spending a date night with my wife.  But I did get on during Sunday and I logged on with my paladin from my premium account, Suppply (Level 9).  I continued to work on his favor gathering and I took him into Freshen the Air on normal, hard, and elite and then I took him out to House Deneith and ran the Depths of Despair on normal and Hard.  I called it a night after those runs.

So you can see why I was able to split these runs between exotic islands and sewer plunges :).  Although it was a light weekend, I was able to finish the quests out in two explorer areas and not I get to move more towards the Sands of Menechtarun and those other miscellaneous level 11 quests.  I hope everybody else had a good weekend as well, Thanks for reading and happy hunting!!
