Today went better (so far) as I managed a hunter level without falling asleep. I have no clue why it makes me sleepy, but it does. I was coaxing prickly kebbits into getting their heads smashed by a large boulder held up with a flimsy stick. I tried red chinchompas before and did fall asleep. :P
I visited Miscellania and got my herbs and seeds. I id'ed and made potions, only finding that I fell 8k short of a level. Quickly, I ran through what herbs I had stocked (marrentil and toadflax) and the highest potion I could make with an easy-to-get second ingredient. Agility potions won out, so I went to the gnome stronghold and ripped the legs off 98 toads. Don't worry; the game tells me the poor toads will grow them back. XD
In the middle of my leg gathering, Mking asked me to help him with Monkey Madness - play escort through Zooknock's tunnel. Gulp. I agreed with no idea what to do. Oh in theory, I would run along side him, give him pots and food when needed. Yeah, well, it didn't work out that way. He died twice doing it with me. I feel bad even now and said as much after the second death. He told me it was no problem. Merch logged in hours later and things went slam-bam. She organized people and told me what I should be doing - I would run with Mking and play bodyguard as a monkey. Demsla came with us for a while and I learned you can block the monkey jail guards (gorilla greegrees work best). Demsla logged, so it was me, Merch and Mking. Cougarsrule asked to come along (I must've caught her on a bad day as I quite like her now. PS she has large ninja greegrees that I want). The four of us preped with pots and food. I had 88 purple sweets gathering dust in my bank, so I offered them to Mking since they boost energy by 10% and I think that's what helped the most. Mking was running in rune armor at 65 combat. >.< We made it in the end, with me relaying over Canting Away of our progress - we'd gotten ahead of Merch and Cougs who were supposed to be ahead of us and lure the monkeys. At Zooknock, Mking was distressed; he'd forgotten his gold bar. I said I would tele out, grab on from my bank and tele back. Great, he made the monkey amulet!
For run #2, it was just Merch, Mking and myself. Poor Merch; her computer lagged when she went down the ladder to the tunnel. I had to log as my computer was lagging from the antivirus scan. When I returned, the pair were talking the talisman from the baby monkey. I tried distracting the auntie monkey by asking her on a date, using my impressive gorilla bod to entice her away from the garden. She was a hard sell and gave me the brushoff. Now, to the temple. Mking made it fine, but the gorilla guards blocked me. I made it down, trying to recall what wall he's supposed to use the gold bar on. I checked on Zybez to comfirm it's the wall of flame. Mking mentioned he'd forgotten a ball of wool and Merch tele'd to get one. We made it again, only to have more distress - Mking forgot his monkey remains in the bank. >.< When he was enchanting his gold bar, I'd killed a zombie monkey that was attacking him and picked up its bones. What luck, I thought, and offered to trade. They aren't tradeable! Doh! Mking had to call it a night, so we split up by Zooknock. Merch and I didn't want to have Mking run that fucking tunnel for the umpteenth time, so we both tele'd to Karamja to see if a monkey corpse was tradeable. Sadly, it isn't and I got stuck with a dead monkey in my pack. I tried some ventriloquism with it until 5 people showed up out of nowhere, then dropped it because I'm sure they'd thought I was a total nutjob.
Tomorrow, more MM.
*cries pitiously*
