Well, I went the safe route today...when I'd been kiting gorge's at level
15, I would run a small circle with lute equipped and twist
selo/bellow/cod...found a nice blue griff today at level 16 and
selo/bellowed it to death, didn't take any damage :) Fight laster around 5
minutes, which is how long it takes me to fight other blues and then heal
(poisoning ones and such, non-poison non-bash are easy fights). Got decent
exp, but only got 4silver 3copper from it =\
Oh well, was pretty exciting in any case :)
