OK, I actually tried to get someone in-game to help me with my math but all
those that could have helped were busy killing things... hehe
Sheesh, 32 years old and a complete math dunce; which is why I usually leave
the in-depth analysis to people like John Kim(TM)... =8^)
Oh, additionally, seeing that minotaur horns were much better for wind songs
than my Unicorn Horn (which seem to be wrong now.. hehe) I cruised through
Beholder to pick one up. Of course I decided to be really really stupid and
invised myself into Runnyeye where I proceded to get killed by severy WAY
green gobbies and evil eyes. Of course I lost my newly-gained level 41 and
half a bub of hell exp... OUCH! All rez-capable clerics were all deep
within nasty Kunark dungeons, heading to them, or camped deep in some horrid
spot (like outside Naggy's door) in preparation for an upcoming raid. So, I
ended up camping and I'll give it another go tonight; I think I have another
hour and a half left before I'm un-rezzable.
