Hehe - I made level 17! A lot of dead birdies helped!~ Made it twice
actually and some stoopid bandits didn't help there at all! Stole my level
17 they did but I made them taste Sylly's Revenge!

Anyways... there I was down in Lake Rathe when I realize - hey I got dual
wield now! And my extra wep and guildmaster is back in Qeynos. Well, what
the hell, we have run this route a few times and one more wont be the last!

So here I am:

base str is 82
base weight is 78

this is with a mix of bronze and other stuff including a spiked collar +3str
(I need some str earrings - got the str rings and a ruby veil would be nice
too :-) and with a dragoon dirk and a combine ls. I have to NOT wear some
armor to stay in an unencumbered - unbuffed state - or else my agility takes
a huge penalty. if I can get str buffs, I switch to my derv rings for the
dexi boost. and I am constantly begging for dim pockets and constantly
forgetting to give them away before camping.

The combine weighs in at 5 and while it has a decent dmg/dly ratio - I'd
love to have a second magic hitter that is quicker and liter.

So what should I get? My piercing skill is prolly higher than my 1hs. So I
was thinking a combine dagger. Or a whip (kewl dood sound effects <g>)

changes attitude of monster? someone said you can play songs and sneak -
what about run? can you run and sneak?
