Ravenwood Ball and Deathbane Maze 2012

Hello amazing readers!

Tonight was the Ravenwood Ball. I headed over around 3:00 pm MTN time and found a surprise. Area 1 was "unavailable" and a pretty good sized group of wizards were partying in Area 2 (where I was).

I ended up running into a Deathbane Maze port bus and ended up there for the next 5 hours. x_x
I was on my own for most of the time. I followed some wizards around house 3 and 4 and then ended up with a couple of people for houses 6 and 7. Sadly, in house 7 (Tower of Winter Winds) of the Deathbane Maze... we got stuck in an area with no way to get out. We waited there for about 2 hours trying to find where we were supposed to squeeze through, or even just for someone to walk by below that we could teleport to. So I ended up leaving, two houses before the finish. :\

But all in all it was a pretty fun night. I may not have got to spend time really at the big party. The game didn't allow me that privilege. All I can do now is hope that next year I might be better prepared!

Now, here are some of the photos I took as I ran around. You can view them below or at the following link.

Until I write again, have a wonderful time in the world of Wizard101 (or Pirate101 Beta if you've been lucky).

Travels in Grizzleheim

I recently celebrated a birthday... and I got a $20 Wiz Card! (10000 Crowns)

With this card I finally was able to buy a ticket to Nidavellir (which comes with the Hall of Valor, Winterdeep Warren, and Helgrind Warren) and Ravenscar to finish travelling in the Grizzleheim area. I'm travelling in Ravenscar as I type this, setting my Celestian travels on the side. On the way I took some photo's to share my travel experiences with you.

Umm... insta-flee time!

 Just want to let you know... I really don't like fleeing, but when I saw how much life they had there was no way I was wasting my time there.

They look funny when you hit them. Hahaha

Team Mates! Maybe we have a chance now....

Getting closer...

Knocked one of them out. Boom!

Same one... but as he's about to fall.

Close up of the two of us. Hmm, that's a nice picture of me... but not in those clothes. :\

Last of the Jotuns brothers. Yay!

Fighting one of the funny birds.

Bye bye funny bird.

Oh thanks, just let me risk my life while you sit in your safe little cell.

Umm, sure... CHARGE! Give me your key please?

Oh... well that makes sense. Bird magic and wizard magic are different.

Oh great, what do I need for that?

Why can't I get some of  yours? I just need three! ... okay.

Five minutes later - "Question: I just fought a couple of them and didn't get any feathers... how did I not get any feathers from them? They're covered in hundreds of them! *grumble* dumb collection quests *grumble*"

If I find any more cool things along the way in Ravenscar I'll make sure to post them here so you can see how it's going. Hopefully I'll make it into the Tower without getting beat up too much by the funny birds... or the creepy hooded birds like Hrafn.

Oh, and once I finish travelling around Ravenscar I will use the rest of the crowns to return to Celestia and continue helping the Marleybonians in their studies. Ooh, but I must find some of those Grizzleheim music scrolls first!

There is a new poll on a change of blog design idea over on the right! And as you can probably guess, getting a Grizzleheim theme added to it (possibly... in the near or, probably, the far future).

The Journal of Talon Deatheyes #3

THE JOURNAL 

OF 

TALON DEATHEYES

February 13, 2012

Today I started off by finish the quest for Mindy and the Headmaster in Colossus Boulevard. I was defeated by both Baron Rotunda and Prince Gobblestone once. Then I was able to beat them (barely) on my second try. Hahaha! When I told the Headmaster of what had occurred and how the Gobbler King had been chased out with his people due to witches in their old land he was very sad and decided to let them stay.

Then he sent me to defeat this evil dead guy who had stolen some books, or at least we thought he had. 

Stormdrain Tower... home of the creepy dead guy

It ended up that he only had a key and a journal. But to our surprise it led us to a unthinkable place! I had a friend take some pictures when I went to explore it.

Brr, that water was cold!

What is this? A door? Why is there a skull on it?

To my surprise... through the door I found the death teacher and the death school. And he hadn't even noticed! I went and told the Headmaster and he was surprised too. 

He then proceeded to tell me of what he had read in the journal while I was gone. Not only was Malistaire in a whole new world... but he was after a book. And guess who gets to stop him? Yep, me as always. Cool thing is I got the Spiral keys to both Wizard City and Krokotopia. Bartleby is supposed to tell me how they work the next time I stop by there.

Also I'm really excited because I head from Farley that there is another gardener mole in this Krokotopia place that has some even better spells that I can get. Yay!

I will do a little check to see if anyone else needs my help in Wizard City though before I start running off to other worlds. A girl by the death school was asking for help... and I heard a boy in the Library was in need of some help for a newspaper also. Once those are all done it's off to Krokotopia I go!

Until the next time I right,

To the Spiral (and with no armor!)

Input... please?

So, lately I haven't been posting very much due to two things :

Number 1 being school stuff and being kind of tired of running around solo...

Number 2 being being I don't know what to post about (well, I do but... yeah, I'll get to that in a second)

Soooooo...

Number 2 though, this is where you can help. What I want you, the readers, to do is look back through my archive.

New Years Eve 2011

Another year has just flown a jet past me... I really can't believe it's already been another year gone by.

In the wizardly world I have :
- Begun blogging
- Become a Twizard
- Reached Celestia
- Met some awesome wizards
- Listened to lots of Ravenwood Radio episodes
- Competed in the Ambrose2Zeke Champions II
And had an amazing time!

The real life things also are amazing...
but none of this would be the same without the amazing community I am surrounded by. So I want to thank you all so much and wish you a ... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Can't wait to see what KI brings in with you 2012.

So have a happy and safe New Years Eve. Whether it's with friends, family, or maybe all alone (which shouldn't be the case with this amazing community) I hope it goes well. Whether you stay up late, or decide to go to bed (or just fall asleep) early, it doesn't matter, you can have a GREAT time.

So until next year,

To the Spiral! (or wherever you're going this fine evening for celebrating)

Also, if you go onto the GFF page and read through (or if you REALLY want to just skip) to the bottom of the page. There you should find a new entry form! This should help to make it easier for people to enter.

The Journal of Talon Deatheyes #2

So I was going around finishing the side quests in Firecat Alley today. The last thing I had to do was fight Wormguts. So I head on in as a level 11 Pyromancer... and come out level 12! =D

With level 12 came a new school only spell. LINK!
* Warning! Laughing may occur beyond this point. *

Went and whooped the fire elf... 

Okay... how?

Ah... hopefully I'll still be in one piece -_-

Hi Mr. Crow! -- Bye Mr. Crow!

More running? (Why hasn't KI added a walking option?)

...

Hss to you too.

Ah, thanks!

Um, can you say that again? Please?

...

What does an ancient tongue sound like... and how do you speak IN it? ;)

Good... wait, for what!?

Hello Link!

* Safety beyond this point... maybe... *

After defeating the Kraken, Talon received the Three Street Savior badge.

TADA!

Also with level 12 I can add Talon into my massive gardening activities.
Then to that is added the opportunity of going to Crab Alley. Sohomer gave him a water breathing potion and pointed out where the best place to jump in was. Talon drank the potion and jumped into the river.

* gurgle* Umm, are -- you sure -- that potion -- was good? *gurgle*

*gurgle* blub blub blub

Luckily  a crab who called himself Herman was able to save me. *shakes water out of hair*

Well, that's all for the update!
                                                                                                        


Now here's the business :
- Got any screenshots you would like me to edit and add to the New Views Page?
Seen a cool/funny quote in-game?
Got an idea for what I could post, change about the site, etc?
You can send them all in to my email or DM them to me on twitter! Thanks!
- Also, if you haven't already, check out the GFF page!

Thanks everyone!
Until next time!

The Hunt for Orthrus (Part 2)

(If you missed the first part here's the link: The Hunt for Orthrus (Part 1) )

With the help of the Dark Wizard (@Dark_Pact from twitter) I was able to complete the Labyrinth, after which I headed back down the path and fought the boss guy for the collars. Amazingly he only had about 1150 health with a 1000 health minion. =O

So I quickly destroyed him and then headed back to Cyrus in Ravenwood (not the Basilica).

- Warning : now begins the many pictures with random comments by Morgrim Trollfriend -

It better be good enough....

Ummm... Nope.

Oh, I was thinking bacon strips, but okay.

Dworgyn?

... should he?

Oh goodie... as long as I don't have to go hunt for it...

Isn't this rather small?

A two-headed CAT? Where do all these multi-headed animals come from!?

Hey, it wasn't me that chose it.

(um, nothing to say here)

Did you just call the people of Mooshu CATTLE?

I think I know just the one.

Here doggie? Really?

You're happy about this tiny little bone?

 

Just because I gave you a bone... sounds good to me.

Wait... did you just say... what I think you said?

Coolio!

About 155 more damage than the spell itself I think.

- End pictures and comments -

Well, I'm glad that that's over.

Also, again with the help of the Dark Wizard, all nine(9) pieces of the Dragonriders Staff were recovered from the the Obsidian Chests throughout the Spiral. We had a great time racing each other to the sigils. =)

In other news :

- I AM NOW A GRANDMASTER! All that experience from the Orthrus quest finished up my bar to get there.

- I will try and redecorate the site for the next holiday... and maybe, though I hate to even think about it, get a head start on the next one...

- If you haven't already checked out the group fan fiction page (the in the works one at the top) you should stop by there. If you have any tips to get it moving again, let me know in the comments.

- Also, if you've got a cool screenshot and would like to have it added to the New Views page, just email it to me and I will work on getting it in there. Each week I will add one in to the page along with a thank you to the person who submitted it.

- Last of all, TMC now has 21 followers with over 700 views! WOOHOO!

Thank you for all your support everyone,

Until next time,

To the Spiral!
