Well he had defeated me enough for one day. I said goodbye, and Home Teleported to Lumbridge, where I logged off.
Tomorrow, I plan on beating the final bosses of Recipe for Disaster, and completing phase three of my plan!
Thanks for reading, and see you later!

--July 23, 2011--
It was time to battle the Culinaromancer! I was looking it up on Runescape Wiki when I noticed that the final battle had qquest requirements in itself! I only had one quest I still had to do though. It was "Horror From the Deep". I checked that page and gathered all the necessary items for it, and started the quest.
I wasn't too far into it when I realized that tooday was the day that Mining Golds was having a Fight Pits event! Well I really wanted to test myself in there against my clanmates, so I quickly teleported to Karamja, and ran to the Fight Pits. Tons of players were there already, and by the time I got there, the next match was about to begin. I had my strategy all sorted out. I waited at the South-East corner until there were only a few people left, then I would go out and hunt for them. During this first round, a level 111 players came by, and I dispatched her quickly. It said that there was one foe left. I ran around the entire arena, but still, I didn't see anyone.
Everyone else in the waiting room was looking in the Viewing Orbs, but they couldn't find that last person either. Eventually, tons and tons of the small firebirds started to spawn, and I started killing them. By now, everyone was pretty sure that Runescape had glitched somehow. There was NOBODY but me in the arena, but it still wouldn't call me the victor.
I left the arena, and the match still didn't end. So everyone left the Waiting Room, hoping to reset the arena. When we re-entered, it announced A jility the winner... When, in fact, he was the first to die. Runescape cheated me out of a Red Skull!
We did a few more rounds, and I died once by a player with a Godsword, another time by Ice Barrage, and another time by getting double teamed.
Finally, it was time for me to leave. The Fight Pits event was tons of fun though, and I would gladly do it again some other time.

It was now time to finish off Horror From the Deep. As I was at the Lighthouse, a player named ITROLLPEOPLE wanted an invitation to the clan. All the other ranks of Mining Golds happened to be busy at the time, so I asked him if he was anywhere near to the Lighthouse. Luckily for me, he was! He hopped worlds. Right then, I noticed that I had forgotten to bring a Tinderbox. I would have asked ITROLLPEOPLE, but it was too late. He was already standing at my side. I invited him to the clan! It turns out that he didn't happen to have a tinderbox in his inventory, but he did give me a Camelot Teletab. I thanked him and teleported away.
I withdrew my tinderbox, and teleported back to the Lighthouse. It was finally time to deal with the Dagganoth bosses! I was a little intimidated, although the quest was ranked as "Experienced", so it couldn't be that difficult. It wasn't. Basically all you had to do was have every form of attack in your inventory. This meant having Ranged equipment, Magic equipment (and the runes for all four elemental spells) and melee equipment. Every time the boss turned a different colour, that would signal that you had to change your style of attack accordingly. Before long, I had killed the boss, accepted my Holy Book and finished the quest!
Now it was time to finish Recipe for Disaster. There were six bosses to kill, and all of them were level 120+, most being 130+. The only hard part was, you couldn't use prayer. Luckily, you could bank in between bosses. The first boss was easy, as was the second boss, but the third one caused some problems. She continuously used Ice Barrage, and also repeatedly lowered your stats. I tried Ranging her the first time, but it was no use. She was simply lowering my stats at a pace I couldn't keep up with.
My second attempt on her I tried to melee her. I was sketchy, but I managed to kill her. The next boss was easy, and the fifth one was the same thing as the Dagganoth boss from Horror From the Deep.
Cont.

The last and final boss was the Culinaromancer himself. Despite being the last big boss, he was actually one of the easiest. In no time at all, I had killed him, and completed the giant quest Recipe for Disaster! I couldn't wait to get my hands on those Barrows gloves! I raced down to the cellar and bought them. They had awesome stats! Much better than anything else I had been using! Walwb had been wanting to go Dungeoneering, but Pacho1116 wanted to duel me. Well it was going to take much longer to go Dungeoneering, so I decided to go dueling first.
I gathered my gear and met Walwb and Pacho1116 at the Duel Arena. My first fight was with Walwb. He wanted to do a no-armour fight, which I was reluctant to do, but I accepted. Dueling with no armour just isn't my style
I manged to kill him! Now it was Pacho1116's turn. He was level 115 or so, so I was a little hesitant. The duel started, and surprisingly, I killed him! I did another no amrour fight with Walwb, which he killed me. I was having awful luck with no armour. I fought Pacho1116 again, this time with no prayer. I defeated him again!
This time, Walwb wanted to have a fight with Blue Flowers. About ten minutes into that duel, I forfeit. Itw as taking so long to hit, I just couldn't bear it. I fought Pacho1116 one more time, but this time, he killed me. Walwb wanted yet another fight, but this time, I insisted that he put on his armour. I defeated him!
Now it was time to go Dungeoneering with Walwb. I taught him some of the basics of what non-keyers do, like clearing Guardian Doors. I completed a few floors with him, before he had to go. I was just about to leave Daemonheim when Gwachero asked in the Clan Chat if anyone wanted to Dungeoneer with him. I stepped forward!
We started doing small dungeons, and I was the keyer. He was level 79 Dungeoneering, so I was a little nervous that my keying abilities wouldn't be up to his standard.

I completed several floors with him, and actually got to level 67 Dungeoneering! On one the the last floors with him, I asked him how my keying abilities were. He replied with "Pretty good". That was a relief! After he had achieved level 80 Dungeoneering, he had to leave. I exited the dungeon with him, and decided to complete phase four of my plan, the last and final phase.
Phase four is going to take the longest. It basically consists of me gaining combat levels. I set out a few goals for myself which are: 91 Attack, 88 Strength, and 82 Defence. So right now, I'm working on getting 91 Attack. I'll be doing this by Slayer.
My task was still Bloodvelds, so I headed on over ther with my brand new Black Dragonhide and my Korasi, which I brought along simply for its special attack. After I had killed about 88 of them, lilmk offered me a place as a keyer in his Dungeoneering party. I accepted. I was really nervous. This was going to be my first time ever keying a large floor.
We started the dungeon. It didn't go so well. First of all, we had a leecher on our team, who happened to have 99 Woodcutting. To enhance this problem, there was a level 96 Woodcutting door, which only he could open. He was continuously AFK, and it took us about ten minutes trying to get him to open the door. I was so mad at the player... I tried kicking him from the team multiple times, but only the leader could do it, and for some reason, lilmk didn't want to.
The dungeon took a really long time. No one was cooperating, and everyone kept disconnecting. That dungeon was honestly the biggest reminder ever that I never ever ever want to Dungeoneer with random people ever again. There's a reason that I only like to Dungeoneer with people I know. After a long, long, time, we finished the dungeon. I was so exhausted, frustrated and irritated that I had to log off.

I'm sorry if I didn't key to your standards, lilmk, but the non-keyers have a roll to play in a dungeon as well, and frankly, that team simply was not cooperative at all. Maybe I'll either duo or solo medium sized floors from now on...
Well, thanks for reading!
See you later

--July 25, 2011--
It was time to start working on getting my Attack up to that goal of level 91. I still had a few Bloodvelds left to kill, so I headed over to the Slayer Tower and started the slaying. Black Dragonhide is actually quite a lot better than Red Dragonhide; I'm glad I got Ranged to level 70! I only had a few more Bloodvelds left to kill, so pretty soon, I had finished my task. Time to get a new one! I Home Teleported to Lumbridge and ran into the Cellar to bank. While I was down there though, people were talking about the Cryptic Cluefest rewards.
They sounded pretty cool... So cool in fact, that I couldn't bear to miss out on it. Now me, being me, didn't want to actually solve the clues. In fact, that's the entire reason I didn't to them in the first place! So, I'm sorry to say, I looked up all the answers online.
There were six stages to the clues, but only Clue #5 gave me some problems. For that, I needed seven plain knives. I usually just buy everything on the Grand Exchange, but when I tried to buy the knives, they didn't update! I even put them at 10,000gp per item, and they still didn't buy. It was time to look for a different way. I asked around, but I still couldn't find any way to get knives. 0DarkKnight told me that they had a spawn location in Lumbridge, but I couldn't find it. While I was looking for these elusive knives, Benjarmin was talking about how he was destroying everyone at the Duel Arena. That sounded like a prime time to duel him! I ran back to the Cellar and gathered my duelling gear. I raced over to meet Benjarmin at the Duel Arena.

There he was! I challenged him, and beat him. Another player who happened to be there wanted to duel me now. He was level 111; three levels higher than me. I duelled him, and won that as well. I think he was in a bit of disbelief, because he wanted a rematch right away. I duelled him again, and beat him for a second time. Now Benjarmin wanted to duel me. I beat him as well. The level 111 player wanted a third rematch! This time though, he pulled off a very powerful Dragon Claw Special Attack, and in the end, he defeated me.
Now, a level 88 player wanted to duel me. I defeated her easily. She wanted a rematch as well, and again, I beat her. I could tell what she was trying to do though. Both times, after I beat her, she had just pulled out Dragon Claws. Benjarmin wanted another match. This time, I barely hit at all, while he didn't even miss once!
Benjarmin was done duelling, and wanted to go Dungeoneering with me. Sure! Off to Daemonheim we went. I decided to do floors 21 and 22 on medium. I was keying them fairly quickly, except Benjarmin didn't know any of the Dungeoneering terms, such as "GD" or "GGS", and he didn't have Law Runes bound to him. That wasn't the only thing that slowed the dungeon down though. Both dungeons had the boss To'Kash the Bloodchiller, at level 188. This guy was tough. We both died five times on him. He was ridiculous! He would hit a couple 200's, along with a few 100's, then hit a 300+ to boot. That started a bit of Dungeoneering rage...
Afterr those two floors, my blood was beginning to boil, and I had had enough. We exited the dungeon. I still had to get my new Slayer task! I headed over to Shilo Village and got my new task. 133 Hellhounds!
I couldn't wait to get started. I love Hellhound tasks! I had gotten about halfway through the Taverly Dungeon when I noticed I had forgotten my Slayer Gem. So I went all the way back to Falador, got it, and came back.

I was halfway down the tunnel again, when I noticed that my Amulet of Glory didn't have any charges left. I certainly didn't want to be caught without an emergency teleport, so I headed all the way back to Falador again. Okay... Anything else I need while I'm at a bank... Nope!
I ran happily down the Taverly dungeon until I got to the Greater Demons. Oh no... I had forgotten my Dusty Key. I asked a player if I could borrow his, but he didn't reply. Another player came walking by, and I asked him. He told me to go down the the Black Knight's Hideout and ask a Prisoner. I headed down there. I couldn't seem to find him. I asked Mining Golds, and Pacho1116 helped me find it. Finally, I had my Dusty Key! I ran back to the door, unlocked it, and ran to the Hellhounds, where I started killing them. It was odd... Usually I would have gotten a Clue Scroll during the first twenty kills.
I had killed tons of them, and actually had to restock food supplies, and still hadn't gotten a clue scroll. Then I remembered something else I had forgotten. My Ring of Wealth! Oh well. I eventually did get a clue scroll, but I had ran completely out of food by the time I needed to kill only 11 more. I really didn't want to teleport out. I asked the player who had told me about the Dusty Key (he happened to be killing Hellhounds too) if I could have some food, but he didn't have any. Then I remembered my Prayer! I flashed that on, and started killing them again.
Finally, with 198hp and no Prayer Points left, I had finished the task. Now it was time to do my Clue Scroll! I had to complete two puzzle boxes, and it finally ended in the Monestary. I got horrible loot. Two Magic Shortbows, 27 Blood Runes, a Rune Crossbow and 4 Lumberyard Teleports. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get something better next time!
It was time to log off now, so that I did. By the way, the reward to the Cryptic Cluefest is really cool, and I would definitely recommend doing it before it's too late!
See you later!

--July 25th, 2011--
More Slayer today! When I had finished my Clue Scroll yesterday, I had picked up a new Slayer task: 196 Kalphites. So it was time to start that task. I teleported to Al Kharid with an Amulet of Glory. I was starting to run out of Amulets of Glory... I would have to recharge then soon.
So I passed through the Shantay Pass and ran west to the Kalphite Lair. There was one other player in there, but I suppose that's better than three. Now I hate Kalphite tasks as much as the rest, and this player who was with me followed suit. We decided to work together to make the task go as quickly as possible. We would attack one until it was almost dead, then switch to another one, allowing the other player to finish it off, resulting in both players getting the kill.
For some reason, the kalphites were not respawning at their usual rate. I'm not really sure why, but it made the task go a lot slower. We did this for a long time, and by the time he had finished his task, I had about 26 left to go. I finished them off and headed over to Shilo Village again for a new task. This time, I got 67 Scabarites. I had never gotten them before... I asked in Mining Golds where I could find some, and someone suggested the swamp area east of Sophanem.
So I headed on over there. The scabarites there were a lot more powerfuk than I had anticipated. They were all level 100+, and the area was Multi-Way. In other words, I had gotten about four kills, and I decided it was time to leave. I started doing a bit of research as to where I could find Scabarites to kill.
