Indiana Ditto and the Temple of Krok!

As I adventure through the spooky old tombs of ancient Krokotopia I feel like a daring archeologist, battling evil villains and avoiding traps to collect priceless artifacts and, some day soon, the Krokonomicon itself!!!
Oh, and can I just say I’m really happy about the Lovecraft homage there – made me laugh when I heard about it.

Also, in this video, I make level 16!! Just got my fire trap spell, which really amps up the damage. I just wish that the damage bonus would apply to each round of a DOT spell, not just the initial hit. It’s frustrating when I’ve got a fire trap and a fire blade ready but all I have to cast are fire elf cards…

Ditto defeats the Nirini Boss!

Second time’s a charm – I fought Biti Nirini again and got him this time! Good fight, I was able to sunbird the sentry on the first turn (thank you again Ascendant Staff!!!) and then was able to focus fully on the boss.
At a critical part of the fight I actually discarded a Sunbird instead of casting it – one of the curses of only having three fingers, clicking on the wrong button – and the fight went on a bit longer than I had hoped. It was a real nail biter there at the end, I was left with only 78 points of health when I finally took him down!!!

Here is some interesting news….

Not Wizard 101 related but I just saw this on Kotaku.com – I think it’s of interest to people around here because I have a strong suspicion that Warner Brothers and Turbine joining forces might mean another wizarding-school themed online game in our future? It’s certainly not outside the realm of possibility, anyway. What does everyone else think?

Ditto’s first Krokotopian boss fight….

And it doesn’t go well. I lost! Very tough fight, and I fizzled at just the wrong time and went down in flames… Very sad.

Ditto arrives in Krokotopia!!

After much questing and dueling, I have finally arrived – via my trusty in-game avatar Digby – to the amazing Krokotopia!!! What amazing adventures await me in this mystical and magical land!! I can’t wait to find out!
