Once again, back from the living! SVH!!!!

It sure was nice to have another freeze pally in the party and you just
gotta love that fanaticism as a good combo with the HF.

Hammy considered himself to be the weakest link being at levels in the
low 60s in act 2 Hell, but I think he did a superb job of holding his
own.

Jabber insisted on a Countess run, or perhaps Hammy needed the quest,
and if I recall correctly, she dropped us a TIR rune. Jabber says she
is good at dropping him PUL runes; apparently she treats him better
when he is not with the Rainbow team.

Misfit and Shady got bumped just when we were ready to head down to the
amulet room (Sparky's chamber) in the CVT. We waited a little bit but
no return. Sorry to hear their DSL service gave them the shaft for the
session.

By the way, it was Batman to the rescue again when everybody ended up
dead in the Palace Cellar level 2. I forget the mods we were up
against.

Now comes the long trek from the Kurast docks to Lower Kurast.
Depending on how much Misfit and Shady still need to catch up, we
should be able to get into the old jungle cities and take out mMepf
this Sunday.

I envision possibly 6 more sessions possibly 7, if we hit major snags.

The above report is true to the best of my knowledge.

This is what I know of the Countess. She has a probability of dropping
up to 3 runes, with each drop probability calculated independently of
one another. There is preset percentage for each of the drop for the
different number of players. On higher number of players, the
probability of no drop goes down, prob of item drop goes up, and the
prob of rune drop lower. For example, on players 8, she is very
unlikely to drop the 3rd, 2nd, or any runes at all, whereas on player
1, she drops 3 runes often. Also, the # players does not change the
treasure level in which each rune drop is picked from.

In fact, 1 player Countess runs gives the best source of dropping runes
El to Ist (she can drop up to Lo). From another article, I learned
that chip gem has either the same or close to same probability as Ist
to drop. So, next time you see a chip gem, you can console yourself
that it could as well be an Ist :)

HOLY BALLZ BATMAN!! I forgot to mention that Team Rainbow found an OHM
rune in the Claw Viper Temple.

Don't get me started on my MF with the countess thing, it almost always
degenerates into a flamewar :)

Decent progress again today, too. Apologies for being so rusty that I popped
the chest in the flayer dungeon without even realising that significance of
our recently dropped team mate.

Over the next few days, I'm going to work on getting my mercenary up a bit
closer to the team in level. He's still early 60's, although the paladin is
level 71, so getting a lot closer to you guys. One of the projects (should
be straight forward) will be to get a Sol rune out of yonder lady in the
tower, for Emilio's future Insight stick (and what a nice new word for no or
semi twink characters, it is in particular)

I thiink I was the one who got dropped here. Sorry I couldn't get back,
I tried to log back in and got the "CD key is already in use" error
message. I figured you guys were almost done for the night anyways.

Did you make it to Kurast?

I think a few of our mercs are using the Insight runeword.
I know mine is.

Should I start start spamming 'FT chipped gems ISO ist runes' in the trade
channels? My past efforts to sell 'ith' weapons (that is, weapons socketed
full of 'ith' runes) met little success in 1.09...

My wife takes some sort of medication (for something similar) and it has
very strange side effects if she skips more than a day.

You mentioning Xanax reminded me of "Beavis and Butthead: Do America"

What if you had a punching bag nearby?

No, I don't think so. My brain has developed these pathways over the years
and re-wiring them now is a bit beyond me, unfortunately. Most of the time
I'm good. When I get an anxiety attack I just want to go curl up in a quiet
place for a while until it goes away. A punching bag would be the last thing
on my mind, I feel profoundly passive and anti-social. It's a real hard one
to explain. Truth be known, you're lucky you don't really know what I'm
talking about. 🙂

Sorry man, hard to put into words. Appreciate the concern though.
