John Lithgow Would Be Proud

We

The mandragora cultists followed us.

returned to the camp in Rolanberry Fields [S] to fight the bees, which were now Toughs to us. The mandragoras we'd fought before were still Easy Prey, so we built up 300tp on them before starting in on the serious Dancer leveling.

The bees were pissing me off at first because they kept hitting me with Final Sting and knocking me down into the red. I'm surprised it never resulted in my death, but then again Neyla was usually quick to patch me up if I waited too long with the Curing Waltz. I was relieved when the bastards started hitting Neyla with it, because up to that point it seemed like they had a grudge against me.

We used two Empress Band charges, and we finally met the goal and reached 37. Now when I go into Campaign battles as MNK/DNC, I won't have a gimped subjob. I'll eventually go back there and start leveling Dancer again on my own... but not for awhile. I'm burned out on Dancer. That creepy minister from Footloose will be pleased to hear that.

Movin' On Up

Your Mite" was a little rough today because the game crashed on me at the beginning of the fight. I'm glad I didn't have to reboot my computer or anything, and I was able to get back into the battle pretty quickly. Pasuk was going after Neyla and it seemed like everyone was in the yellow, but we took it down and I got my bonus xp. Whew. Not bad for a mithra and three tarutarus, since Ghaleon and Wulf weren't there this week.

I also passed my Campaign evaluation and earned myself a Golden Star. I now have access to "Streetsweeper III," which will make for some nice XP each week without leaving town.

There wasn't much to do after that except hit the Tavnazian Safehold to buy supplies for tomorrow. Neyla and I will finish getting Dancer to 37, and we popped our Empress Bands before we logged out so we can have the effect twice tomorrow.
