Ack say it isn't so =(. I dinna want it to be so. THough I think it is
noticable in Unrest since the mobs are mostly blue to me now. Perhaps 25
is one of those inbetween levels where most things are green or even =(.
Time to check Mistmoore then.

Ack, now I am getting depressed my friend. I was so happy to have cleared
leel 24 with only one death. As my friends know well I am way to big on
the honour and chivalry bit and hence forth I die way too often
helping/saving friends. Oh well I guess I will be one of those bards who
will congratulated 20-30 times for getting my level 30 =). Anyone know a
pretty cleric who would be willing to marry a bard who is proone to dying
and causing trains? ... ANy takers?... I guess not =)
