    The wrongness of this combination just appealed to me somehow. Done the Downs and two relic quests so far. And just to give you some idea of what I've had to put up with, the first level of the second relic quest was the very same level for which I'd previously received a death fate...

    2004-11-06 9:24pm EST
    Done the Orc Cave and the third relic quest. Got a much better handle on my piety now that I've figured out how to boost it easily. Gonna do the Old Forest next, for the piety and in the hopes of finding dungeon towns.

    2004-11-27 3:57am EST
    Done Mirkwood and the last two relic quest. First time I've ever maxed Prayer. Now that I've got all this piety to work with, I should start breaking out some of my Yavanna spellbooks...

    2006-06-09 2:02am EDT
    Another of my characters that I left languishing in Moria too long (I'm detecting a pattern here…). Done Moria. Some decent kit improvements, but she still feels a little weak—probably because her STR and DEX are still rather far from max.

    2006-12-15 3:07am EST
    Midpoint of Land of Mountains. I think I've got a bit better handle on her, what with a few CON boosts and remembering to actually use her Mindcraft powers and Nature spells more often. Instant stat and exp restore on command is amazingly useful. Oh, and finding Cubragol didn't hurt, either… ;)

    2007-03-17 11:30pm EDT
    Finished Land of Mountains. More CON from Trone's coat is good, but the loss of DEX from Thalkettoth apparently cost me a blow from Lasher. How sad is it that that's still my best-damage weapon? Mordor's probably next, or I might skip ahead to Dol Guldur.

    2007-10-28 9:44pm EDT
    Decided to do Mordor next. Also swept the Maze for Hammerhand, and did the Maeglin quest. I seriously need a better damage dealing weapon than Lasher, but at this late stage I don't know what it'd be. Dol Guldur is next.

    2008-06-11 3:27am EDT
    Swept Dol Guldur. Some kit improvements, but still not quite the damage dealer I'd like—though I did enjoy catching Hoarmurath and Dwar in a Tidal Wave kill zone in the Thrain quest… >;) Ring hunting next.
