Level 45 in Dûn Covád

Apelred & Colzarak completed "Dread in the Fallen City" and "False Orders" in Dun Covad getting Apelred up to level 45.

Then they went on to search for the Silk Lady.

The Blade that was Broken

Apelred finally got time to witness the reforging of Narsil into Anduril Flame of the West.

Beyond Rammas Deluon

Apelred braved the Watching Stones (top pic) to make it to Gabilshathur and speak to the Braigiar thus completing Book 6 and allowing him to take a number of quests from the Dwarfs - if only he had room in his quest log! Apelred needs to drop some of the older quests to make room but he is a bit pushed for adventuring time at the moment :(.

Tomb of Elendil - Third Time Lucky

Apelred (Hunter) & friends Phaedrus (Captain), Sofor (Guardian), Colzarak (Guardain) , Cyroen (Captain) braved the Tomb of Elendil yesterday. They fought the tomb robbers, kegrim, great tomb crawlers & Idella the Crypt Breaker but the Silithar had gone! Gwindeth told us it we would have to try and get it from Nornagol the Giant Turtle's lair without waking him!

More disease ridden kegrim were defeated on the way to the Giant Turtle's lair where we saw Crackshell a giant kegrim and Nornagol an enormous turtle asleep with the Silithar between them.

Jumping down, Crackshell attacked us and then kindly woke up the turtle who ate him! Nornagol's shell was nearly impenetrable and the belly flop stunned us all allowing the waves of little turtle friends to chew us up and we failed.

As long as we reenter the instance quickly we can continue where we left off. We decided the group was too low in both DPS & healing so Sofor gave way to Brenville (Minstrel) & Phaedrus gave way to Gastano (Hunter). Luckily Hwee (Guardian) came online and helped us out to make the fellowship 6 and give us a chance to crack Nornagol's shell with an all 6 Spider Guile (yellow) Fellowship manoeuvre.

So sprint through the now empty Tomb and try again. We didn't realise the extent of Sauron's cunning as he made the phone ring so Gastano didn't join the fight straight away and had an an elite kegrim in tow when he did. With the new fellowship we did a lot better and frustratingly got Nornagol down from 30,828 morale to just 800 before we all got defeated.

We were well over our allotted time but had to give it one more try. Sprint through the empty Tomb again. While waiting for the dread from defeat to wear off Apelred decided to take a screen shot and fell off the edge (Fool of a Hobbit). Luckily the sleepers did not wake up and we could wade in fully refreshed. This time things went a lot better and despite only getting to 5 yellows on the fellowship manoeuvre we defeated Nornagol without losing a man - HOORAY!

Gwindeth helpfully reminded us she told us not to wake the turtle (cheers) and we returned to Calenglad for our rewards wondering how this can be a level 40 quest???

Here is a slideshow of screen shots showing our trip down the Tomb of Elendil

2 Wending Way, Greyheights - Home of Apelred

Despite the credit crunch Apelred has joined the property ladder with a nice little standard house for 1G plus chest for an additional 100s at 2 Wending Way in the Greyheight Shire Homestead.

Drop by for a smoke anytime :)

Already half filled the chest - now I need to get the decorators in.

Update - Apelred lies down after a hard days wallpapering.

Bone-Speakers & Morcheryn

Apelred, Colzarak & Tormay finished off the Bone Speakers (in the pic one lies dead while Colzarak gives his Troll mates a good thrashing).

The party then went to find the Earth Kin Scout who is tucked away up a narrow path and took the quest to kill the Morroval (who have a most surprising catwalk gait) and then on to Slay the Mistress of Shadows Morcheryn in her dungeon. In the pic Apelred is annoying his Guardian by stealing the aggro (again) cheeky hobbit.
