I won to almost everyone, with the exception of one player, level 133. He completely annihilated me with his Dragon Claws...
Eventually, a player PMed me, and we started chatting. When I told him I was duelling and that my combat level was 115, he thought he would own me... So I ivited him down for a fight!
When he came, he was level 127 with a Constitution Skillcape. I wasn't deterred though; I had defeated many players higher level than him. The battle started, and I pulled out my Abyssal Whip. I waited until I had him to half health, then whipped out my Korasi Special Attack. Oh, how I love my Korasi... I hit a 270. I changed into my Veracs, and finished him off. Let that be a warning for anyone who thinks I'll go down easily!
I logged off for a bit and when I logged back on, it was time to go Dungeoneering again. My plan is to do small floors from floors 1-19, then mediums from floors 19-30, then larges for 30+. I was still making my way to floor 30 though, so I completed one floor before I headed back to the Duel Arena. I did a few more fights before I logged off for the night.
Happy Birthday Lion 0fJudah!
Thanks for reading, and have a good night

--September 16, 2011--
After reading all the above comments, I couldn't wait to duel some friends! I logged on, and was at the Daemonheim bank. J ame S was in my Friends Chat, and he asked me to a duel. Joshyway said he'd come along, so we headed to the Duel Arena. J ame S was finishing his Abyssal Demons task, so he would tag along later.
Joshyway came with his Quest Cape and full Dragon. Full Dragon? Easy victory! How wrong I was. His Abyssal Whip sliced through my armour like nothing, and I was defeated. He wasn't even a higher level... He was 115, just like me! I duelled him again, and this time, I managed to come out the victor. The tiebreaker... The battle started!
I opened with the usual, my whip flicking out and then quickly switching to my Ring of Vigour and Korasi. My lightning attack sprayed around him, dealing a whopping 370. Things were looking in my favour! Unfortunately, that was when things started going downhill...
He started hitting me repeatedly, and I was back to missing. In the end, I actually lost... Joshyway is quite the opponent, it seems. Dordracio wanted to join us, but as it turned out, we were on a 1500+ Skill Level world, so we switched to a Canadian Server (No lag for me!) and waited for Dordracio. I decided I would fight Joshyway again.
This time, things were different! I was hitting him over and over again, and my full Veracs was doing its job! I won, with about half my lifepoints to spare. I decided to stop at 50-50; better not test my luck
Dordracio arrived then, as did MantisManiac, J ame S and Camdozaal. It was like a reunion! Camdozaal challenged me first, so we started a duel.

He had Deflect Melee on, but I decided not to mirror him. I was trying to get better at not using Protection Prayers!
I had to laugh. Camdozaal was definitely plagued by some bad luck. I hit him constantly, and the only damage he ever inflicted on me was from the deflection... I won with over 800 lifepoints!
Now it was time to fight J ame S. He was level 126, but I wasn't deterred. I could do it! The fight started, and he started out with his Chaotic Rapier. Right after I had said "Ooo a Rapier!", he had pulled out his Dragon Claws and completely destroyed me. Like, totally owned me. That was probably in the top ten worst deaths I've ever had. Having said that, I needed a rematch! This time, I turned Prayers off. This was a whole different fight; the entire fight, I felt like I was on the brink of death, any hit could possibly kill me. Miraculously, my Full Veracs came through, and I beat him!
Naturally, Camdozaal wanted a rematch. In this fight, I happened to notice that my Special Bar had been reduced by 10%. That was odd... I remebered that happening the last fight too. And then it hit me: It was the Drain Special Prayer! Man, I wanted those Curses. I can only imagine how much damage I could do with leech curses!
I fought Dordracio, MantisManiac and the others a number of times, winning most of them and losing a few. I really had a good time duelling with them; especially because they didn't start yelling and screaming if they lost.
But it was dinner time, so I logged off.
Coming back, I headed out on my herb run. I've integrated an approval trip to Miscellania into my daily herb runs. I already can't wait to withdraw all those resources! What I can't figure out though, is whether I should burn my Maple Logs or sell them.
After I finished my herb run, I went back to Daemonheim. I really wanted to try doing some larges, but I wanted to reach floor 30 for that.

Halfway through Floor 28, Lion 0fJudah PMed me, telling me to place a Group Gatestone adjacent to the other crystal when fighting Stomp. I hadn't even considered that before... it was pure genius! I couldn't even type how grateful I was. Finally, I understand how solo Dungeoneerers are supposed to kill Stomp
I traversed my way through several dungeons. I only came across one Night Spider this time, but, alas, I didn't get my Shadow Silk Hood. I had come across Har'Lak the Riftplitter again though... And this one was trigger happy, just like the last. Every move, he would create a new fire portal, and pretty soon, the only area I could stand was in the far corner. I had to sacrifice two deaths for him
I was chatting a lot in my Friends Chat during this, so my floors were getting compleetd a lot slower than usual. I didn't mind though; it was really enjoyable!
Finally, I reached floor 30. It was time to log off though, so I would have to find a party tomorrow. I exited Daemonheim and logged off.
A few minutes later though, I logged back on. I had forgotten to get my daily Fletching experience! I only said "Offering 99 Fletching" once, when I got an Assistance request. This player happened to have two effigies, so he managed to open one of them and get the next one to Gorged stage from me! Wow... I'm really close to 14,000,000 Fletching experience!
Now it really was time to log off.
Thanks for reading!
Good night!

--September 17, 2011--
I logged into Runescape, and gazed my eyes on the snowy hills of Daemonheim. Yesterday, I had been planning on getting together a party to complete floors 30+, but I had just remembered that Saturdays are now dedicated to hitting your resource cap at the Mining Golds Citadel. Before I did that though, I went out and did an herb run.
I used to think it was difficult to remember to do herb runs, but lately, I've been getting into a pattern of it. I would log on, do an herb run, then five hours later or so, I would do a second one. After completing my first herb run of the day (I got 73 Farming!) and boosting my approval rating at Miscellania, I headed over to my Citadel. I was expecting the usual one or two people to show up, but to my amazement, there were lots of people there! I guess it was a great idea to actually make Saturdays a Citadel event day!
Mining Golds needed 100,000 stone to create our next statue; quite the lofty goal. So, nearly everyone was out mining the stone. Reaching the resource cap (1400) always seems like a daunting task, but surprisingly, once you get into the groove of it, it seems to go by fast, especially if there are people to talk to. Dordracio and Joshyway came by and hung out with us Mining Golds members. Joshyway even got an invitation to Mining Golds! A new clanmate is among us!
Lucky for me, a huge argument started in the clan chat, so I had something to do while I mined. It took me a whole hour to subdue the whole thing and make peace

Finally, after an hour and a half, I reached my resource cap. It was lunch time now though, so I logged off.
Logging back on, it was time to attend the Mining Golds Two Year Anniversary! I think that it also marked me being a member to Mining Golds for an entire year! I re-entered my Citadel and headed back to the stone mine. Wow! Tons of people were there, mining stone, chatting or performing emotes (the latter being me). After a while, we all ran to the Citadel itself, and took a seat in the large auditorium. Funny enough, this was the first time this had ever been used. The player Divine Danny started making a speech, but before he could end, everyone was off to something else, this time the large courtyard to the north.
It was here that I realized that Mining Golds really did have a huge amount of members. Not even half the clan was there, and the minimap was full of purple and orange dots. Zach Nafain, the events coordinator, was making a speech, explaining what we would be doing. I could already tell I wouldn't be able to participate in all of it: I had lots of real-life things to do.
But luckily, I had time to visit the MGSkillers clan's battlefield! I took one step onto a strange green arrow, and I started sliding like crazy! It turns out that this formed a sort of track, leading me all around the battlefield in a sort of tour. Finally, it dumped me off on the other side of the battlefield. But then, everyone was told to get out of the battlefield... some changes needed to be made to it. I ran my way back, and exited it. After a minute or two, we all re-entered. I couldn't wait to kill some clanmates! Unfortunately, combat seemed to be turned off for some reason... So instead, I clambered my way through a random obstacle course I had found!
I was climbing over blocks, crossing monkey bars, dodging attacks, all to reach the end prize of... Nothing. It ended exactly where it had begun

Unfortunately, I had to leave... I said goodbye and left my clan.
I logged on an hour or two later, just ten minutes after the festivites had ended. Now, I could find a party to go Dungeoneering! I started asking around. Joshyway could come, but I couldn't seem to find anyone else... Then Joshyway had to leave, so I was stuck by myself. I was about to go do something else when I decided to do the thing people have been warning me against: I logged onto World 117 in search of a party.
I looked around for a bit, and found someone else looking for a party for floor 30. I told him I was too, so he asked me for an invitation. It seemed I would be hosting the dungeon
Suddenly, four players traded me, all of them wanting invitations. I invited three of them, one of them being a player named Aryl. I ran over to the entrance and chose the floor, size and complexity. When I was prompted to choose how many players the floor would be designed for, I chose three, the recommended amount. When we entered though, everyone was telling me that I should have chosen "5:5"... Whatever that meant
We decided to restart, so I exited the dungeon and re-found most of the players. After looking around for a bit, we had five players again. I thought 5:5 meant Complexity 5, so that's what I chose, along with a five person dungeon. Apparently, 5:5 means to have a five man team and a five player dungeon... So I had to restart yet again. So far, I wasn't enjoying being the host.
The third time, I had it right. Complexity 6, Large, Floor 30, five man team in a dungeon for five players. Of course, a player left right away, making us a four man team. Thankfully, the players with me were very nice. This was the first large floor one of them had ever done! I was keying of course, so I ran about, unlocking the doors.
To my amazement, things were actually going quite smoothly.

Of course, I died multiple times due to ridiculously overpowered monsters, but hey, it's all part of the "fun".
Words don't even describe how happy I was that I hadn't drafted any professional Dungeoneerers into my team. These players kept getting lost in the dungeon, and seemed to think that my keying abilities were nothing short of amazing. After fourty-five minutes, we had finally reached the boss: a Bulwark Beast. He's actually oneof my favourite boss monsters. Nothing to worry about special attack-wise; just tank the hits and attack.
I gated the door and we all teleported back to the base. One player had been collecting money the entire time, so me and Aryl started smithing Katagon Pickaxes for the others.
We entered the boss room, equipped with our pickaxes. The Bulwark Beast didn't attack me thankfully; I had enough deaths on my counter. The boss was going down quickly. In under a minute, his health was down to half, and even quicker than that, he had died. Yet again, I had to leave, so I thanked them for an awesome dungeon, and we all ended the dungeon. I got 10,000xp from it!
Back on, Joshyway invited me to come to his POH. I grabbed my combat gear (most houses these days have a Combat Ring) and teleported to the Watchtower. I climbed under the wall and started running to the POH Portal. I saw Joshyway running there too!
I lept into the portal and saw Josyway's POH for the first time. It was beautiful. Every room had every accessory, and everything was made from Mahogany and marble. My house was a lean-to compared to his
We ran around for a bit, until finally, we settled on the Combat Ring. I clambered in and started fighting Joshyway. He had no armour or weapons though, so I guess it was a little one-sided... A little.
We took out Boxing gloves after that, and the great boxing match started! I was quick on my feet, tilting my body in a lame attempt to doge incoming attacks. I don't think I was meant for boxing rings though... I lost!
Cont.

After a bit, No Ugos came and joined in on the fun! Joshyway left and ran to the bank to grab his armour and weapons, leaving me and No Ugos to duke it out.
To my total amazement, I actually defeated No Ugos! He had Turmoil, Soul Split, you name it. Joshyway came back, and joined the ring. I tanked out No Ugos' Dragon Claw Special Attack, while dodging Joshyway's attacks. Once I had killed No Ugo*, I turned to Joshyway, and managed to defeat him too. No Ugos re-entered the ring, and amazingly enough, I actually beat him again! Now, I had no Prayer Points left, no Special Attack left and almost no health left... I died from Joshyway's Korasi Special Attack.
We duelled for a long time, and also did other things around his house such as a little combat puzzle (I won, rewarding me with 25,000 coins!) and a really cool hide-and-seek game. This little fairy had hidden somewhere in the house, and it was our job to find it. We all spread out, using out tablets to know if we were hot or cold. I found the "Hot!" area first, but couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do... So Joshyway way came by and stole the victory!
We then reverted back to duelling, until I logged off for a break.
A few hours later, I logged back on. I had time for one large floor! A while back, I spoke of how I occasionally get "Into the groove" of a skill, where I continuously train it into the dust. The first skill that ever happened to was Fletching, then Mining, then Runecrafting... and now, for the fourth time ever, I think I've really gotten into Dungeoneering.
I needed floors 32, 33 or 35. I asked Joshyway again, and this time, he had enough time for one. J ame S decided to come along too! We needed two more people for maximum experience gains... I searched around for a bit, asking multiple people, but I couldn't find anyone. We ended up deciding on doing Medium floors, considering I can key them quite fast.

I think that this trio worked quite well. I rushed around keying, while the other two cleared the Guardian Door rooms. The first floor's boss monster was a Shadow Forger... I hate those things so much. I stepped foot inside, and was promptly hit a 640, killing me in one blow. And that's a prime example of why I hate them.
I ended up dying a total of three times on it. I have no idea how you're supposed to kill that thing... It repeatedly hits 400+.
We started another floor, floor 33. Lucky for me, the boss was another Shadow Forger!
And, keeping true to its previous fights, it started hitting me 400+ over and over again. I died four times on this one. That Dungeoneering Rage was boiling up in my veins again... Thankfully, J ame S managed to kill the thing and we ended the dungeon. I had to leave then, as did J ame S and Joshyway. We exited the dungeon and I logged off for the night.
Right before I started today's entry (literally, I was about to start typing), I remembered that I hadn't gotten my daily Fletching assists! I logged back on right away and started advertising myself. In under twenty seconds, I had two assistance requests. This player gave me 30,000xp... Enough to put me over the 14,000,000 Fletching experience mark! Quite a milestone... I haven't trained Fletching since I achieved level 99, which was at 13,060,000xp. That means I have assisted a lot sonce then...
Thanks for reading!
Good night!
