Ok then, at the end of my marathon night what have I actually done... (after my disaster with Troy that is)!
Some guy escorted me to Medusa so I got that TP in the bag and another online friend to boot. (Took advantage of his offer outside the sweat camp). Bought a few bits of Goblin armor - can't remember which exactly, do remember trading shin guards for something like 1250 sweat which at least saves me selling the damn stuff.
Discovered that using the TT FAP on other people gives you various skills
Took up to using that outside the sweat camp while waiting for somebody else to heal me. Gained no end of medical knowledge. By the way, this might sound dumb but is there any way of using the FAP on myself cos if there is I haven't found how yet!
Amusingly the original guy who I took as mentor spoke to me while I was on the TP run to Medusa. Asked how I was getting on and stuff like that and told me how crap my TT FAP was. Nothing was mentioned about me giving him the boot (a conversation I couldn't be bothered to have). It wasn't until later that it crossed my mind that he might not have realised I've booted him lol!
Anyway, spent most of the night at the sweat camp, thought that I'd claimed my first kill when I decided to take out the Opalo and blast a nasty that was bugging me, managed to get it down to virtually no health then the cowardly beast ran away. Bob's rifle skills obviously aren't good enough to hit a moving target yet though cos as soon as it turned tail and fled I was back to my usual not being able to hit a barn door from 5 yards.
Was going to test out my hunting skills in a more remote area just before I logged off but took pity on a noob at PA who was asking how to sweat and took him to the sweat camp. Then I obviously hit some wrong button and managed to make my game uncontrollable and had to ctrl-alt-del to get out. By the time I got back on the noob had gone - if anybody sees him around at the sweat camp then help him out and mention my name please. His name was Terrence TBone something.
Anyway, not much hunting success but lots of skills gained so a pretty successful night.
Bob
