After a while, RuneGuardian PMed me, asking if he could see my cool Snow and Storm emotes. I exited my Citadel and met with him at the Loyalty Points Shop. There, I got to show off my emotes! All the other players there seemed to be wondering how I managed to get both of the most expensive emotes at once.
I stayed there for some time, while a player tried to convince me to go to a website. Eventually, I left for dinner.
Coming back, I headed off to Kuradal for my next Slayer Assignment. 188 Dust Devils. I grabbed my gear and headed off to the Smoke Dungeon. I managed to do my whole task all in one trip! My Dragonfire Shield definitely seems to be doing its job. I didn't seem to get any particularly good drops, though.
After that, I headed back to Kuradal for my next task. 225 Hellhounds! I love those, and it should be even better now that I can kill them in Kuradal's Dungeon. I got more food and entered Kuradal's Dungeon. The Hellhounds were right there! So much easier to get to then in the Taverly Dungeon. A player there had just finished her task, so she left in hopes of getting another Kuradal's Dungeon task. She came back, with Greater Demons! We chatted to each other throughout the task; Her staying to the far east of the Greater Demons, and I staying to the far west of the Hellhounds.
After 70+ kills, I finally got a Hard Clue Scroll! I said good by to the player, but we decided to add each other to our Friends Lists. Her name was Yui Vv. I had had enough for that day though; it was time to log off.
Thanks for reading!
See you later!
P.S. PvM Paladin had changed his name for the millionth time; his name is now Itoku.

--September 1, 2011--
Ah! It's September... Which means that school is starting soon
I logged in and ran to the Zanaris bank, where I took out my Clue Scroll supplies. Off I went on my Treasure Trail! Unfortunately, I didn't get any good loot...
I headed back to kill Hellhounds, and Super Spiffy PMed me, asking if I could make him a Katgon 2H Sword. He would have to wait until I had finished my trip! I can't leave my Hellhounds; I love them too much! But after I had finished my trip (I had gotten another Clue Scroll!) he had logged off...
So I went on my Treasure Trail. A decent reward from this one! The total worth was about 220k, the big loot here being an Ancient Cape. I headed back to Hellhounds for a third time. Man, I love Kuradal's Dungeon so much! But right as I entered, Super Spiffy logged back on. I teleported out to make him his Katagon 2H Sword. Lucky for us, a Katagon rock was conveniently placed in the room right next to the Base! I quickly made him his weapon and we moved on to finish the dungeon. The boss was Bal'lak the Pummeller. I hate that boss... He attacks so fast, and his defence gets so high, and he does so much damage... I hate him! I died twice, and then we finally killed him.
It was then that I decided to get my Fire Cape. I bought more supplies and was about to leave the Grand Exchange when a level 52 player came by and announced his amazement at my 10m shield. He thought he would never have enough money for something like that... Just like I used to think! I told him to keep training, and eventually, he'll make enough money.
I teleported to the TzHaar City and entered the Fight Caves.
I grinded through the waves. The thing is, I actually enjoy fighting TzTok-Jad, but it just takes so long to get to him. If my pattern continued, I should be able to get past the healers this time! After all, I've been able to get further and further each try.

So I grinded through the waves, and finally, I reached Wave 62. Strangely, I wasn't as nervous as my previous attempts. I killed the final level 360 and waited for TzTok-Jad to spawn. He spawned right next to me; something I actually prefer. That way, I know exactly what prayer to use.
He opened with a Ranged Attack this time; a nice change for once. I kept in mind the things that I had learned from my previous attempts and was switching quite well. In no time at all, the healers arrived. My tactic was simple: Wait for TzTok-Jad to start an attack, switch prayers, then attack a healer. I did that to all four, and even managed to position them into a line! There. The most difficult part of the entire battle was over. I was going to to do it. I was going to get a Fire Cape!
I was really on top of my prayers switching. I hadn't missed one yet, and the only way my health was going down was from the one healer who was attacking me. Then TzTok-Jad did something odd. He tilted his head down as though he was about to do a Magic Attack. I waited for the ball to form on his back, but it never did. And for that reason, I stayed on Ranged prayer.
But suddenly, I was hit a 531 magic damage, and I had died. I wasn't upset; disappointed, but not upset. Why hadn't the ball formed? Even so, I had gotten further into the battle yet again! I was actually quite proud of myself. In fact, I was so sure that my next attempt would be a victory that I banked and headed straight back into the Fight Caves.
I grinded to only Wave 8, then logged off for the night. I seem to be getting progressively farther and farther into the fight, so if I keep that up, I'll get my Fire Cape on my next attempt for sure.
Thanks for reading!
See you later!

--September 2, 2011--
I logged on into the Fight Caves! I was sure I would get my Fire Cape this time! I couldn't wait to finally be rid of fighting TzHaar beasts. Not too far into the Fight Caves, I levelled Ranged to level 74!
I grinded my way through. The boredom was insane... Just to mix things up, I would occasionally scour Mining Golds' Clanmates page to search for players I could promote. It always feels nice to promote someone!
So after hours of grinding my way, I finally reached TzTok Jad. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn on Protect from Ranged, and of course, this was the one time he didn't open with a Magic Attack. I was hit with a 731. Not fatal, but definitely debilitating. My switching was getting lazy, and after only thirty seconds, I died. I couldn't believe it. I had died again! I was so sure I was going to do it... I'll openly admit that I was quite irritated with myself. I decided to stop trying it once a day. I'll give it a break, and when I come back, I'll do it.
My Citadel had just been upgraded a tier, so I headed over there to max out my Resource Cap. We needed Ore, so I started Mining. Someone must have been using the ore for the Furnace though; everytime I mined an ore, it would be used up. I continued mining for a while, until a player came by and thanked me for mining. I guess he was the one using the furnace!
I continued mining, and eventually, w1tchey came long and started helping. We chatted while we mined, until ForeverMandy came by. Apparently we needed some bars for our Citadel, so I teleported over there and started making some bars. The charcoal supply was statring to get a little low, so after a while of making bars, I headed over to the kiln.
Some time later, another player came by and started helping out with the kiln.

With both of us burning logs, it made sense for one of us to go to the Furnace. That way, David James (who replaced w1tchey) could mine the ore, I could make the and this player could make the bars. A perfect set-up! I asked him if he could go to the Furnace, and he gave me a flat-out no. Apparently he thought that the Citadel was there for his own personal gain, and not for the enjoyment of the whole clan. I tried to reason with him, but he absolutely did not want to do anything else but get Firemaking experience.
This conversation turned into an argument about ranks, and how this player thought that he deserved to be an Overseer. Although it was obvious to me and everyone else that he wasn't suited for the title, he seemed to think that he would do a better job than all of the "Slackers" (ironic considering he's the one not pulling his weight for the clan).
I had had enough trying to reason with him. I left and did the furnace myself. After a while, I finally reached my Resource Cap! To be honest, I actually quite enjoy working for the Citadel; quite relaxing.
I left and headed to Kuradal's Dungeon to finish off my Hellhound task. Another player was there with Protect from Melee on. Thinking he was out of food, I offered him some of mine. He declined it though; apparently he kills Hellhounds with Prayers only! I had 50 Hellhounds to go, so me and this player chatted for some time. He was interested to know how I afforded my armour, so I gave him money tips while we trained.
Eventually, I finally finished the task. I exited the dungeon and got a new task from Kuradal. 201 Bloodvelds... And with that, I logged off.
Thanks for reading!
See you later!

I logged on beside Kuradal. I was planning on going to kill Bloodvelds for my task, but Itoku PMed me and asked to go to the Duel Arena. I hadn't fought him with my full Bandos and Dragonfire Shield, so I decided to go with him. I teleported out and met with him at the Duel Arena. My first fight went very well; I barely got hit at all! My second fight was the same! My Bandos was worth the money it seems!
Itoku wanted to fight with no armour... He has quite a high Strength level, so I was a little unsure of the outcome. I actually managed to beat him though! I had pulled out the Dragon Dagger and had killed him with its Special Attack. The next fight... wasn't too great. Itoku had actually finally bought his dream item of Dragon Claws, and, well, he destroyed me. I tried again and died. That time though, I was closer. I tried again with my full armour, and he killed me again!
Then, Griffy from my clan PMed me asking if I wanted to go Dungeoneering. This time, I actually did feel like going with them! I did a quick match with a random player at the Duel Arena and then met Griffy and Nockanook at Daemonheim. Itoku got to come along too! We entered a Large sized floor 31. Normally I'm the keyer, but Nockanook happened to ne close to max levels, so I had no choice but to let him be the keyer. Nockanook wasn't used to being keyer though, so I ended up just showing him where the doors were. After an hour of doing the dungeon, it was finally time to kill the boss! Amazingly, this was the first Large dungeon that I hadn't die in! I certainly didn't want to ruin that!
The boss was the Hobgoblin Geomancer; my least favourite. We all entered the room. I was amazed at how fast we were hitting the boss. I almost never missed, and my teammates were hitting 400+!

Strangely enough, we actually killed the boss in no time, and I successfully finished my very first large floor without a death! Normally I get about three, so I was pretty happy! From that floor alone, I got 39,000xp!
One large floor was enough for me, so I bade farewell and left to go do my Bloodvelds task. I was there for a long time, killing those Bloodvelds. Pacho1116 actually popped into the Aberrant Spectres on the other side of the wall! We chatted for a while, and I promoted players in Mining Golds.
Finally, my task was complete! I headed back to Kuradal and got my new task of 188 Living Rock Creatures. I switched to World 88 and headed down to the Living Rock Caverns, wheer I met with some of my clanmates who were mining! Living Rock Creature tasks are great. I always find it fun to try and protect the miners, and the monsters give great experience too! I had only killed about 40 of them when I had to go. I logged off for the night.

I logged on in the Falador Bank. It was time to go kill some Living Rock Creatures! I had logged onto World 88, so I was going to get to protect some Miners! I ran into the Dwarven Mines via the house east of the Party Room, and ran north. By some Coal rocks, I saw Light Eric! He posted on the first page of this thread! Weird, huh?
I continued on and took the shortcut through the wall, and then delved into the Living Rock Caverns. There weren't too many clanmates there, but I still got to protect the miners. I made it a little game. I would try and clear heavily populated areas of the creatures, and then move outwards. Of course, this would be impossible as the Living Rock Creatures continually respawned. I started out on the South-West Gold rock. I usually went for the Living Rock Strikers first; they're usually more aggressive. I was there for quite a while. It was crazy good Slayer experience, not to mention Defence experience! Well, after I realized that I was still on Attack mode from Dungeoneering yesterday
I was getting about 300+ Slayer experience per kill! It was crazy; Every three monsters I killed, I would get 1,000 Slayer experience! The downside to this was the sheer length of time it could take to kill one of the monsters. After quite a few kills, Lion 0fJudah asked me to bring him some food and a Prayer Potion in the God Wars Dungeon; Armadyl's Fortress specifically. I teleported to Edgeville with my Amulet of Glory and ran east to the Grand Exchange. Not sure why I never used the Edgeville Bank... I seem to take that shortcut for granted; every time I'm in a free-to-play world, I always forget that it's members only!
I withdrew a Mithril-Tipped Grapple Hook, a Rune Crossbow, nine Rocktails, a Prayer Potion and some runes to teleport with.

I also had to take some items of each of the gods. Well I had full Bandos on, so that wasn't a problem. I took an Armadyl Pendant, a Zamorak Arrow, and my Saradomin Sword. I teleported to Trollheim and made my way to the God Wars Dungeon. I'd never been to the Armadyl Fortress, so it took me a while to find it, but when I did, I met with Lion 0fJudah and traded him my Rocktails and Prayer Potion. I was fine with it being for free, but Lion 0fJudah insisted on giving me a bunch od Adamant Bars in return. He had his Killcount to 40, so I followed him to the boss room. He was going to solo it!
He entered and I watched as he was bombarded by the boss. He was taking heavy damage. He wasn't hitting the boss too much either, but as I watched, he slowly began to kill the huge behemoth. After running around for a while, he manged to kill Kree'Arra and retrieve his drop of... 20k. He killed a few minions and then teleported out. I followed suit and made my way back to the Living Rock Caverns. I wasn't there for long until I had decided to leave yet again to attend my clan's Pest Control event! I ran all the way to Port Sarim and took a boat over to Void Island, where I met with some clanmates. We were on the Medium Boat, and soon after, the game started. My sole strategy was to destroy each of the portals as they fell. It seems everyone else was doing that too, as the games ended just as fast as they had begun.
We did six games, each time I'm hoping for Hybrid Armour. After the sixth game, one clanmate by the name of Torva5000 arrived. He couldn't get onto the Medium boat, so everyone left and went onto the Easy one. I was quite happy about that. It really showed the spirit that no clanmate would be left behind. Right then though, Pacho1116 PMed me, asking for a Duel! I couldn't pass that up. I grabbed a Ring of Duelling formt he nearby bank and teleported over. After a minute, I saw Pacho1116, and we started a match!

Pacho1116 had just bought full Bandos, so he wanted to give it a try. I, of course, had a whole arsenal of weapons and armours! My tactic was to use my Abyssal Whip with full Bandos, and then use my Korasi Special Attack when he got to half health. Then I would switch to full Veracs for a bit, while switching back to Bandos whenever he pulled out a Special Attack. We were doing no Prayers; not my usual duel, but fun nonetheless.
We both had our wins and losses, but in the end, I managed to come out with the most victories. I had to go then so I said goodbye and logged off for a nature hike.
An hour later or so, I logged back on and headed back once again to the Living Rock Caverns to finally complete my task. Psychemaster, who was also killing Living Rock Creatures, looked like she needed some food, but she managed to use Soul Split to kill the remaining amount of monsters to complete her task. Soon after, I managed to finish mine too! Not only was I quite close to level 78 Sayer now, I had achieved level 85 Defence! Now it was time to start training Strength.
I teleported to Edgeville and used the Fairy Ring to visit Kuradal in the Ancient Caverns. My new task was 203 Dagganoths. I had heard of this weapon called a Balmung. Apparently it is extremely effective against Dagganoths, so I decided I would go out and attemt to get one. Itoku said that you neede to complete the quest "The Blood Runs Deep" for it... Unfortunate. To do that, I needed Glorious Memories, and for that, I needed Mountain Daughter and Royal Trouble. Even further, I needed Throne of Miscellania for Ryal Trouble. Looks like I had my hands full of quests. I decided to start out with Mountain Daughter.
I gathered the required items and started the quest in the Mountain Encampment. It wasn't a particularly long quest, althouhg it was one of the very few that I actually read the storyline. After some time, I finished the quest and gained 2 Quest Points.
