Yes, we missed you, but we didn't play very long anyway. Cinna was tired
(we stayed up too late the night before, doing NM Baal runs), and went to
bed early.

Oh NO! So sorry to hear that. Were you at least able to loot your stuff
back?

If your connection is doubtful, the bowazon would be a good one to work on,
as a character loss at those low levels is far less painful that one that's
earned it's way to late nightmare or worse yet, somewhere in hell.

OUCH. That hurts to lose those nice charms. But that's the way of it in
hardcore. Hard to find, easy to lose :-)

OUCH!

Well I hope you are able to make it to the Wrecking Crew game today to
continue our jaunt through HC Hell act 2. You will have some good
backup with you. Duriel must die!

Ahoy! We didn't finish act 2. Spook was tired and needed to catch some
good sleep. They will be off the realms for a liitle while. But look
for Kasmir if you are in act 3 NM. He could really use a hand. That's
Kasmir1, Kasmir2 and he might have my chanter KasmirOrionCaal. Party up
and get him through act 3 if possible, maybe even big D. Keep in mind
he might need some better gear. He does not know all the nooks and
crannies like us. If you come across a scutum remind him to pick it up
and get it socketed and to pop 3 Pdiamonds into it.

Sheesh! Listen to me. You prolly won;t even run into him.

I'll see you when you get a chance to play. I'm glad you are taking a
break until your server gets back into a better mood. I hate to read
about these undeserving "deeds of Valor"
