Dear Diary,

Tonight I completed another quest: A Soul's Bane

I discovered a rift in the ground northeast of Varrock. There I spoke with a woman named Launa who told me about her son Tolna, who had disappeared 25 years ago, and her husband, who had entered the rift to search for their son but had not returned. I agreed to look for them. I climbed down a rope to enter the rift and conduct my investigation.

First I beat Rage by fighting and killing an angry bear, unicorn, and goblin. They were easy to kill. However, each could only be damaged by a specific angry weapon (spear, sword, and battleaxe). I exited to the next room.

I conquered Fear by looking inside dark holes until a fear reaper appeared. I had to fight this creature 5 times. I did so easily, then exited to the next room.

I defeated Confusion by killing 5 confusion beasts, and fighting several illusionary beasts. All this time in the rift I was working on a Daily Combat Challenge. Even the unreal beasts counted towards this task. I exited to the next room.

I vanquished Hopelessness after killing 5 hopeless creatures 3 times each. The Bridge of Hope appeared. I crossed it and found Tolna.

Tolna's father was there, trying to reason with what his son had become. I told Tolna his father was not lying. Tolna then attacked in his three-headed form. My trusty rune 2h +3 and I quickly slew the heads, freeing Tolna and completing my Combat Challenge at the same time. I used the XP lamp on Constitution. The three of us returned to the surface.

Finishing this quest got me a pair of XP lamps (500 Constitution and 500 Defence XP). I was also awarded 1 quest point, which brought my total to 26 QP. I also received the Anger maul, battleaxe, spear, and sword cosmetic overrides. Tolna gave me 500gp and granted me access to the rift for combat training. I will certainly take him up on the offer. Perhaps while training combat I will learn more about the power down there - and how to control it.

Dear Diary,

Tonight I attacked the dark wizards in their stone circle south of Varrock. After I had killed 3 of them, I reached Constitution level 57. When I had slain 19 dark wizards, I reached Attack, Defence, and Strength level 54 as well as combat level 68.

I was about to bank the runes I had found and sell the two black wizard hats, the fire talisman, and the water talisman I looted from the wizards when I received word of another goblin raid happening. This one was taking place at the Varrock southwest mine. With my newly raised combat stats, I ran to take on the goblin raiders.

This was my third goblin raid. There were several low-levels mining copper and iron, but they and the raiders were not fighting each other. I killed all the goblin raiders and, aside from coins, all they dropped was a bronze hatchet and a grimy piece of tarromin. I did not bother talking to Hollowtoof. He was angry that once again I had killed all the others. Then he teleported away as Commander Yodri and his Black Guard dwarves arrived. I spoke with Yodri and he rewarded me with 41 noted clay, 30 iron stone spirits, and 29 coal stone spirits.

Hollowtoof got away again.

I proceeded to the Grand Exchange. After conducting my business, I completed a Daily Firemaking Challenge there by building a bonfire from willow logs. Redeeming this challenge got me 71 Firemaking.

Dear Diary,

Early this morning I added to a couple of my collections.

I used the Skull Sceptre to teleport to the shades on Level 4 of the Stronghold of Security. I easily killed several dozens of shades. They dropped a total of 5 shade robe tops and 5 shade robe bottoms. I now have 12 robe tops and 8 robe bottoms in my bank.

Then I made my fifth trip into The Wilderness. I collected 28 skulls before wandering around for a bit. I saw nobody. I teleported to Al Kharid and added the skulls to my collection. I currently have 48 skulls sitting in the bank.

No, you may not ask me what the skulls are for, Diary. You just never mind about that.

Dear Diary,

Tonight I made my seventh trip to Daemonheim.

First, I cleared Floor 8 on Complexity 6.

This level was pretty straightforward, except for the two bonus rooms I could not enter because my Smithing and Woodcutting levels were not high enough to pass beyond the skill doors. Still, I accumulated enough rusty coins to buy two zephyrium ores which I used to make a zephyrium full helm to add to my bind pool. I am still using my fractite 2h sword and fractite platebody. I mined enough kratonite ores to smith the rest of my armor.

In the boss room I fought a Plane-freezer Lakhrahnaz for the third time. The pesky beach ball barely wounded me and I did not eat any of the dusk eels I had brought during the fight. When I was able to attack this thing, again I easily killed it. The boss dropped nothing.

I returned to the smuggler, sold all my food and excess gear, then bought another zephyrium ore. I smithed a zephyrium hatchet and added it to my tool belt, replacing my fractite hatchet. However, it will still act like a fractite hatchet until I get 50 Woodcutting.

Completing this dungeon got my Dungeoneering level to 34.

Then, I cleared Floor 9 on Complexity 6.

This level was simple. There was just one bonus room I could not enter because my Mining was not level 98. I ended up with full fractite gear, except for a kratonite plateskirt. While on this floor, I got Cooking and Fishing level 39.

In the boss room I fought To'Kash the Bloodchiller for the first time. He talks too much. I ran up and attacked him. He froze me, but not for long. For a supposedly powerful magical demon, he hardly wounded me. I ate one dusk eel during the fight. I was able to kill this demon fairly quickly. It dropped some Kal'Gerion Notes (part 1).

I returned to the smuggler, sold all my food and excess gear, then bought 70,000 rusty coins worth of logs to burn.

Completing this dungeon got my Dungeoneering level to 35, unlocking three more bosses.

Bring them on!

Love,
Kat I've been putting out fire with gasoline!

Dear Diary,

This morning I returned from my eighth trip to Daemonheim.

I cleared Floor 10 on Complexity 6.

This level contained several obnoxious puzzle rooms. In one room, the floor was covered by ice. Barrels and crates were scattered about. There were four pressure plates I had to step on to unlock the door to proceed further. I stepped on the first one quickly. After a bit of sliding, I got the next two pressure plates. It took a lot of time and pointless sliding before I finally aligned with the last plate and slid on to it. The very next room had four pondskaters. I had to choose which one had the key to the doors. They kept biting me! Finally I got the right one. Later on, just north of the smuggler, I found another pondskater room! Gah!

I also found a bonus room I could not enter because the dark spirit on the door required 59 Prayer to banish it. My Prayer was at level 45.

I am still using my fractite 2h sword and fractite platebody. I mined enough fractite ores to smith the rest of my armor.

At the end I fought Astea Frostweb for the third time. The bitch was back again! I found that Cleave took out her spiders quickly. My stats and my gear were improved since the last time I encountered Astea. This battle did not last long. I beat her yet again. This time I ate 8 dusk eels during the fight, and that was more than I really needed. Astea dropped a pair of salve shoes and part 5 of the Mysterious Chronicle.

I returned to the smuggler, sold all my food and excess gear, then bought six fractite ores. I smithed two fractite plateskirts. I then burned a few logs and crafted some chaos runes.

Completing this dungeon got my Dungeoneering level to 37. I also completed a Daily Prayer Challenge within Daemonheim, but I could not redeem it until I had left the dungeon. When I did, I reached Prayer level 46.

Love,
Kat I've been putting out fire with gasoline!

Dear Diary,

Tonight I trained Runecrafting.

I was at level 36 when I entered the Runespan. I siphoned 200 points worth of all six types of F2P runes to reach Runecrafting level 40. Then I redeemed a Daily Runecrafting Challenge I had completed when I first arrived to reach Runecrafting level 41.

Dear Diary,

This afternoon I fought some black knights in northern Varrock. I opted to battle these knights using magic. I wore my batwing armor. spellstorm drape, and my Amulet of Magic for the occasion. During the fight, I got 41 Magic, which unlocked the Air Blast spell. I set this as my new default spell, in place of Air Bolt, and resumed the fight. The black knights didn't know what hit them!

I broke off the fight when I saw a leprechaun nearby. He was all worked up over the appearance of an evil maple tree behind the Grand Exchange. I began chopping the tree's evil roots, then using the kindling to set the tree on fire. Once the whole tree was burning, I chopped the evil tree. It took some time but I single-handedly brought this evil tree down from 100% health to 0%, earning 100% of the reward. I found 82 noted maple logs, a willow seed, and 1,398gp. Chopping this evil maple tree raised my Woodcutting level from 48 to 50.

Now I can cut those bovistrangler trees in Daemonheim.

I then made my fourth trip to the Daemonheim Woodcutting island resource dungeon. I chopped maples there until I reached 51 Woodcutting.

Love,
Kat I've been putting out fire with gasoline!

Dear Diary,

Late tonight I used the Skull Sceptre to teleport to the shades on Level 4 of the Stronghold of Security. I managed to defeat four shades using magic. However, this took longer than I liked. So I teleported out, swapped my magic gear for my melee gear, then went back to the shades. I easily killed a lot more of them. The shades dropped a total of 14 shade robe tops and 10 shade robe bottoms. I now have 26 robe tops and 18 robe bottoms in my collection.

I also tested out the Anger Maul, Anger Battleaxe, and Anger Spear weapon overrides I earned for doing the Soul's Bane quest, in that order. I really like the battleaxe and maul for Cleave and Fury attacks. The spear looks great for stabbing attacks.

While fighting these shades, I got Attack, Defence, and Strength level 55 as well as combat level 69. I unlocked several new abilities, including Assault. I added that to my action bar in place of Forceful Backhand. I tried out Assault on a shade. The ability dispatched the shade quite nicely.

Love,
Kat I've been putting out fire with gasoline!
