OK Kingsisle I get it, I lost…

I have now gotten four emails from KI informing me I lost their Facebook contest. I get it, I lost, and I am sad about it – there’s no need to rub it in…

Where am I?????

So I jump into the Spiral today and am on a quest to go see Professor Drake, who is a scary guy… so I go into his tower with Princess Daisy and my new Egg wand, and all of a sudden I am in some completely DIFFERENT PLACE!!! And it is VERY SCARY!! There are big dragons and rivers of lava and all kinds of crazy things!! And there are monsters ALL OVER THE PLACE that say things like ‘Rank 8 Elite’… RANK 8???? Ditto has trouble with RANK 2!! I ran around looking at things, it’s very very scary here!! I did not have my video camera to take film but I did take screenshots….

This very not good!! Ditto is very lost and scared and a bit confused! This place is very intimidating!!

Update: OK so apparently Ditto is in Dragonspire, which for a level 16 Pyromancer seems to be a very bad thing. I got eaten by something just a few minutes ago. It was so big it didn’t even bother to duel me – it just walked up and ate me. I think I heard it burp as I re-appeared near Professor Drake, who then laughed at me and said something rude that I will not repeat here… He’s not very nice.

Rain Rain go away….

So as many people probably know, the Easter part of the US (Where I live) has been getting heavy rains for what feels like a month… and I HATE having wet fur. It’s very uncomfortable. Just imagine having all your clothes wet and heavy on you, and not being able to take them off… it’s not fun, believe me!

Adding to the problems was an internet outage I’ve been dealing with thanks to all the rain – apparently networking equipment doesn’t like being underwater or something like that. Well, that’s all taken care of today and it looks like the rain has FINALLY stopped, so we can start drying out – I’ll be running the hair dryer most of the day if anyone needs me. After that I will be jumping into the wonderful Spiral – I’ve just started adventuring in Colossus boulevard now, that’s scary and exciting, and I’ve got the key to Krokotopia, but I haven’t used it yet – I want to make sure the camera is rolling on that one. Maybe I’ll do that tonight or tomorrow.

I’m SO excited to get to my next world, I really am! Krokoopia sounds amazing! I’ve got a few levels to go (6, I think) before I get my Meteor Strike spell – I’m wondering if I should wait until then before venturing to Krokotopia? I assume I’ll be fighting multiple enemies from this point on, I have to think that getting Meteor Strike will make that much easier for me. Any suggestions from other people who have been there?

Ditto, The Headmaster, and The Kindly Tree…

After finding out that the Death school had fallen into Nightside, I went to tell the headmaster (Of course). He sent me to talk to the great tree Bartleby. I fed him a potion and he told me quite a tale! OK, I didn’t understand a word of it, but I don’t talk to trees much…

So THAT’s where the Death school went…

I was sent on a quest by the Headmaster to explore the waterfall near rainbow bridge, so I hurried over there and – careful not to get my fur wet – peeked through the waterfall there. You’ll never believe what I found!!
