>I thought some half grown plants would be better than seeds at this time.
They're great so far, just hope i don't kill 'em.
(only posting right now because the log-in server has decided to ignore me,
after playing for 3, almost lag free hours...was going to make a newbie
alchemist to start grinding up some potions to cure the bugs on the orange, and
bugs/fungi on the red...love the 6th character slot, btw. *smiles*)

Had a treasure hunter in the neighborhood last week, he'd died from a pull(i
guess) that earned him a demon and dread spider.
They must've smelled the cookies i was baking, becuase sure enough they were
banging on the door to get at 'em.
Luckily, i was getting ready to step out for a bod run, so the Cystocot left a
pair of EVs to play with them.
They must've had too much fun, because they keeled over dead before i could
even leave them to get acquainted. Oopsie. :}

No problem, i actually like the little house. Easier to decorate...if i only
had some taste...
*chuckles*

Skill gain is pretty good these days, that's for sure(though right about now i
miss the days of going from 0-GM shooting at earth eles...was so much simpler),
and i'm making great progress so far.
Unfortunetly, i had to abuse the pit fighters a little early on, but after i
got around 65 skill, i headed to Despise and filled ettins with bolts for an
hour or so. :}
Cyrus is now up to 71.8 skill, and still climbing nicely, and after a long
skill calculating session, i've even figured that i can keep fencing, though i
will have to lose the 10 points i put in over the past few weeks...(but at
least i won't be wasting arrows when i go hunting for feathers to make
arrows...)
*chuckles*
So Cyrus will be quite well rounded, with Archery for those targets that aren't
idea to get close to(Devourers, Rotting Corpses, Bone Demons..), and can take
up the kryss(or spear if i get lucky with a runic in the near future and get a
good one with hci/dci/ssi and hit lightning/fireball...hey, i can dream. hehe)
when he's forced into close combat.
Would be nice to take him to the gauntlet, get disgustingly lucky, and get the
dryad bow, though. hehe(i've got a 30ssi compy that comes close to the dryad's
freakish speed, but doesn't quite compare since it has no damage mod, though
the life leech mod is handy...)
And as things stand now, he still has 25% dci(samurai helm and an hci/dci ring
i found with +7 tactics and okay resists), so melee isn't as much of a problem
as i originally thought it would be after losing parry. :}
I'm liking being so well rounded, and hope to improve my armor to recover the
resists i lost from my old pre-aos Val enhanced shield...
Thanks so much for all your help, from the house to the furnishings. If you
know any good interior decorators, though, i could use one. hehe

(If i can ever remember how the house near Minoc was decorated, maybe it won't
be as bad...think that one had the forge on the roof, though...)
