Well-met in Bree

A while ago (longer ago than I meant it to be, sorry…I’ve not forgot this series, just been so busy with school this time of year), Linett shared the story of the disappearance of Grace Redfern, the event that started her on her own adventures. It’s time now to hear from some of the other characters in this story and see how they fit into events. Without further ado, here’s Pellandir!

Welcome Back Alts!

I’m taking advantage of Christmas vacation coinciding with the welcome back weekend XP boost to advance the army of alts a bit. Between that and the rested XP from how long it’s been since I played any of them, it’s like alt boot camp around here.

Pellandir went from level 13 to 17 finishing up his Staddle quests and moving on to the big city of Bree. He also finished his level 15 Captain quest – not in an instance like the other ones I’ve done as yet, surprisingly. And not a very hard quest either. In fact Pellandir’s been easily taking on yellow and even orange mobs while scurrying around the Thornley farm killing mean ol’ level 19 wolves and such. Hm. I don’t remember him being that effective previously, so either it’s changes from an update somewhere along the way – or I’ve improved.

And he made the welcome discovery that Adso is moving up in the world, as his encampment now has a stable master! I think I’d read about that change somewhere, but had forgotten about it till Pellandir saw it and rejoiced.

Meanwhile over in Buckland, Trumpkin leveled from 17 up to 20. Taking on three at a time without panicking was one of the joys of Guardian-leveling:

He did some crafting as well, upgrading some of his bronze armor to iron; he just needs more barrow-iron so he can finish upgrading and look all coordinated.

And finally – upon reaching 20, Trumpkin bought a pony!

Now the pony just needs a name! And then, to see if we can get Pellandir and Mireleth on to level 20 as well….

(By the way…is it just me, or have the most rated and highest rated posts lists disappeared from the main page here?)
