Nothing too too exciting for the last couple of nights. No raids got off the ground, so we got a good chunk of 57 put down. Wednesday night we had a docks camp in PoN for about 3 hours. Solid work with a good enchanter allowed me to chain pull to my Turkish delight. It was going so well, we cleared all the wraiths near the docks and I couple get a good look at the spiders that I have been dying to kill (they drop the silk for Nightmarewood Bow strings). I used my new toy Bind Sight to explore the camp...no way. There is one spider that I think I can single pull. If I am wrong, I get three. All the other spawns are clear 2 pulls. We need a good monk (I have yet to meet a necro that would be comfortable FD pulling them and only one SK, though I admit that I haven't really met that many).

Anyway, I get talked down from the tower and get a good exp stretch in with no problems at all. We did get 2 SPs though, making them the second and third that I have seen drop in an exp group.

Thursday night was a late start because I loaded up my game PC with XP and had to reinstall EQ (7 CDs + the LoY and updates). The first 2.5 hours were PAINFUL. No other way to describe it. Gaerett was waiting for us (i.e., working on tradeskills) and all we needed was the cleric, slower, spare DPS deal). Bi set to work and got a Cleric straightaway. I go to group her up while Bi works on a slower. Into PoD, group her, she claims CCY and we head out there to hold the camp. All good. Gaerett gets KEI and then comes to help. Except he is a human, and it is night. So, back to the GY to find out that my UV sight spell is self-only. Oh well, he can just /follow me. While we were there, the cleric dies out at the castle and ignores group chat. We never find out why or how. Then she leaves the group.

OK, got to get the camp while Bi looks for another cleric. Well...someone had left a spider on the zone wall run to the castle. It dots me from an AMAZING range. So, I root it. Oh, so sorry, there are really 2 spiders. And a rat. Ranger Gate. F*CK. 30 minutes to get a rez. At least it's a 96%. OK, that camp is long gone anyways. We get RCY, no problem.

Again, spider problems. Between my run and me running Bianca out there, another 30 minutes go by. First pull, no problems. Second pull, 2, at least. Or chanter is 52, there is no way she is going to lock them down. So, I run to the zone. One is snared anyways. Run back, again. I get to camp, only this time they old mobs remembered me and I chain agroed the whole camp (8+). F*CK. Run to zone again. And this time zone.

More pulls. The chanter is very quiet. She manages to slow 2 out of 15 before Gaerett dies before the cleric can CH. Bianca, the DoT Queen next, of course. No evac for us. I lock the mob down and SoW the tanks. The chanter gates (never to be seen again).
