Breakfast Wars & Bunny Tending Hat

So yesterday Nef, Midare, Tess and I went wandering around the sim after I spent most of the evening killing people in Tera. Yes, the good son has returned to Aranea. LOL Apparently along with every-freaking-one-else. Anyway! We broke out the breakfast shooters and colliders and had ourselves a ball. I kept dying, of course.










And I now have a bunny tending hat, yo.

< Order of Avalon > : Dragon Fight

So now that the quest is on hiatus, I'm pretty much fighting the dragon from time to time for shits and giggles. XD If I manage to get at least 50 kills in, that adds up to a mount and a new title though! So we'll see what happens.



I was trying to help Midare find Lumina's rose and when I put on the glasses, Nef said " Harry Potter!" so I am not the only one who thinks they look like Harry Potter glasses. Ah, we'll never see round glasses the same way again.

Llothian Tome { M'thain d' Streea }

I had some downtime at work yesterday (since I just started and all) so I kept myself busy by putting together textures for a new book / tome that I wanted to make in SL. The idea really came from the fact that I wanted an object to put my rune and shield scripts into for the Order of Avalon game.

Then I thought, well... I may as well use the same book for my Terabithia support and battle cleric books. I painted the textures in Photoshop layer by layer. Took bloody forever! Some of the items in the book came from other sources. Like the faces on the back cover were composited on , color adjusted and blended into the leather. The spider on the front came from a photo of a black widow that was composited, blended, painted, etc. The sketches inside the book were found and then laid onto the old paper textures, since I didn't have the patience to draw new ones. Though a lot of the text, shading, and detail work on the inside pages were also painted layer by layer in Photoshop.

I'm pretty pleased with the results! I tested out the book last night, fighting the dragon. I had also moved the sword scripts into the staff that I carry around, so I was blocking fire with the tome. BWAHAHA. I really should get a picture of it...

PS. I was once again too lazy to change into my drow skin.

< Order of Avalon > : Part Three

So after slaying the dragon and saving the day, you're set on another adventure. You have some sort of nightmare, wake up in the forest (not naked!) and then figure you have to go ask someone about your [ strange dream ]. So of course, you wander into the village where the snooty girl who was too good to talk to you, is suddenly interested because you've killed a big lizard at least once... and she apparently knows something about your strange dream.

Then she sends you running around a little bit to meet some mysterious guy in the forest where you woke up. He just magically appears, so you gotta wonder if he wasn't there all along, watching you sleep... like a creeper.



So Fiona (I think is what her name was) sends you to chase after Lady Guinevere (the Sadist) and you literally chase this woman around until you finally catch up to her and she gives you a quest to go back into the Catacombs to seek out her boyfriend, Sir Lancelot (the other Sadist).



Sir Lancelot sends you into a tunnel, which leads you to a sewer pipe, which then takes you into the ROOM OF HELL as I like to call it.



In this room, you then have to figure out how to jump on the little ledges to get to the slightly bigger ledge, to get to the room in order to grab a feather. Then you go back outside...



You have to charge up Lady Guinevere's tear by letting the siren fondle it. Then you summon the Lady Sadist and hop on stones to reach her. But adventurer beware, if you land in the water at ALL you have to start over, and of course, go back and let the Siren fondle the crystal again.



But if you do it while she's singing, it doesn't power up, so you have to wait till she shuts up before you do it. The tear plays another part later on too so you may want to spend some time getting more than one.



When you finally at long last get the amulet from the good Lady Guinevere, that's when you take the feather and tickle open Lumina's portal to be sucked into a place that I like to call OH GAWD IT BURNS MY EYES because it's super bright up there.



Once you have the amulet, they send you after the dragon gauntlet. But not before you have to seek out a fire fairy who will BURN YOUR FREAKING FACE OFF if you touch her while she's flapping beside you. To get to the bloody dragon gauntlet you have to turn into a midget, learn how to run in slow motion, jump on tiny, tiny rope-like ledges and then after screaming every profanity you can think of at the screen, reach the back room.



I took a moment to admire the handy-work of the villains in the story because you know... drow priest and all on the INSIDE.



Once the dragon gauntlet is in hand, it's time to pay the dragon another visit so he can BURN YOUR FACE OFF, and oh yeah, so you can catch a fireball with your shiny gauntlet. KER-PLOW!



Another jumping challenge. Which, let me tell you... BAD JUMPING, BAD! More profanities. When you slip and fall off you break your neck and have to start over.



Until you make it to the top! OH YEAH!



Feeling proud of myself, I run to tell the RANGER, (creeper) that I have the staff, only to have him shot to death by invisible archers. I'd loot the body if I could, but I'm an ass like that.



Then it's time to put on the Harry Potter glasses and seek out the sorcerer's st-- I mean, Lumina's Rose.



It took me a couple of tries to get past the giant spider who kept BITING MY FACE OFF. I finally figured out , after going back and talking to the chick in the village that he likes to nom on chickens.



Of course she won't let you have any of her chickens, so you have to find one that isn't so happy and fat and free.



Getting to the Necronomicon isn't as easy as one would think. There's plenty more opportunities along the way to get your FACE BURNED OFF.



But I did manage to get it!



Then I go and unlock the second portal ... and discover!! Dun dun dun... the encounter isn't finished yet and I should come back later. HAHAHAHA. So for now, my journey in Avalon is done, but I'm helping Midare, Tess and Nef get theirs done. Or I will be....

And then I'll be out to search and see what else is out there.

< Order of Avalon > : Part Two

The second quest started out with having to solve another puzzle to gain entrance to the Catacombs. Midare was the one with the answers this time since he'd seen the panels with the circled skulls scattered around the graveyard first.



Of course I had to wonder if he actually knew what he was doing... and anxiously awaited to see if we were going to die again or if another spider was going to leap out of the dark and eat our faces off.



It's a freaking maze down there! Some highlights though. Tess and Midare mentioning how they'd feel sorry for the kingdom that hired us as adventurers. I agree! Considering that we kept dying. A lot. Oh and I'm not entirely sure that I'm the good-aligned type.



Yeaaaaah. Not sure I'm the good-aligned type at all. BWAHAHAHA. They did allow for Drow and I did have my battle gear on, but eh... was too lazy to put on my drow skin.



So after one of the challenges damn near drove me bat-shit crazy, I went and found the SKYDIVING CHICKEN!



I wasn't very sure about the ah... stability of a chicken as a parachute at first.



But then the chicken came in very handy. Wheeeee.



Then it was back to the quest. There was a part where you have to step on the right letters going through the room. Spelling mistakes equate to having the floor drop out and falling onto spikes and ... bleeding to death or dying from impalement. Vlad, eat your heart out.



There's like a total of three chalices or something like that, that you get throughout the quest. The first one is the silver chalice which you have to fill with holy water... and of course get past a flaming golem first. I , of course, had my face burnt off several times trying to sneak around it before Nef realized that you needed to use the spellscroll and kill the freaking thing.



Once you get past the golem, you fill the chalice. It's a good idea to make a copy of the filled chalice so that you don't have to keep coming back.



Then of course to get into the next room, you need to get the Bronze Key... which was all the way at the beginning of the maze-like-Catacombs. Tess was the only one who was able to survive the room of DEATH-RAY-EYES until we figured out that you need the emerald before you go in. I'm still not sure why she lived each time. I think it has something to do with her small size... maybe. That or her inner rainbows and butterflies.



So then you reach the room with the chasm in the middle (after using the bronze key) and ... have to walk across to the other side. Of course you have to believe that your courage and belief will protect you. LOL.



It helps not to look down in the middle.



Then there is the lovely lava room. OF DEATH. It's pretty much a suicide run to complete this part of the quest.



I recommend camming ahead to pick out which shield you want. Because basically what you'll wind up having to do is run across the freaking lava... make sure you jump on the last stone step before the back room, rush in, click the shield you want, cam around behind the chest to flip the switch... all while burning to death. Then, you die. Reset and before you get TP'ed out, make sure you grab the rune.



Then, go back to the other golem... ANGRY FACE GOLEM and bring the handy dandy spellbook you got after you crossed the chasm.



Then KER-PLOW, you destroy the golem.



Fetch your sword...



Go back to the portal room for the dragon...




Kick his ass! (Or you know, get your face eaten three times in a row before you manage to smack at his claw while a cute-redheaded-girl kicks his ass with you... )



Grab a trophy...



Collect your loot ...



Pause to check out Tessie's wardrobe change... And then call it a day.
