Connar? Not at all sure what armour you were talking about?

So, let's see. Went hunting Quadavs in order to get Fetich Arms (since I messed up and lost them yesterday). Into Palborough mines, I went. Level 15, I am. Got there no problem. Got working on things. Killed a lot of quadavs. I discovered I can kill 2 amber quadavs, 2 young quadavs and an amber quadav, 2 amethyst quadavs, a combination of 3 amber, young and amethyst quadavs, 1 veteran quadav, 1 onyx quadav, or 1 greater quadav (depending on the level of those last 3, cause you know, they can be up to level 18 or something...) But if I run into a greater quadav hanging out with a veteran ... death. 

Grrr.

Died twice. Did not delevel. In fact, I think I got enough xp now that I am  1950 TNL... which is almost halfway there. I'd be much closer if I hadn't been killed. Twice. Hrmph.

And then when I got back to Bastok the second time, there was 1 set of fetich arms on sale in the auction house. Glee!

I should go camp Sophie now! Just for the sheer mischief of it.
