Tarutaru girls aren't so sweet and nice!

When I logged in yesterday, I had planned to do a little crafting because I had a few hours before I was going to be needed to help with some quests. But shortly after checking my delivery box, I received a /tell from Anderoc who needed help on his PLD AF3 fight. I guess he had tossed his body piece at one point, and wanted to quest it again so that he could store his PLD AF set (SE should really make it so you can store any piece, and not the whole set at once)

Anyways, I headed off to Davoi on my RDM/BLM because he had said he was going to need me to sleep one of the 2 NM orcs. At first I had a feeling that the orcs couldn't be slept, because out of all the times I had done this quest not once had I remembered any of our BLM or RDM sleeping the orcs... but I didn't say anything, because I figured he probably knew more than I did.

When I got there, he explained that the plan would be for me to sleep the RNG type orc, and we would kill the PLD type first. So as soon as he spawned the mobs, I let lose Elemental seal + Sleep II.

I was getting ready to hit my melee gear macro (was gonna use my new Joyeuse ^^) when all of a sudden I see my stoneskin wear off an I see the orc wide awake. So I immediately cast Sleep, but no go. I then get ready to cast sleep II again thinking I must be having some serious bad luck but before I could do anything he was hacking away at me and because I hadn't bothered to buff myself up entirely before the fight, I pretty much died after about 30 seconds.

Anderoc quickly zoned the two orcs, and came back to raise me. We waited a bit, while he tried to see if he could get a little help because it was obvious at that point that the orcs couldn't be slept. But I guess endgame linkshells are never really there for you when you need them, because he couldn't get anyone to help him (And this is where I secretly laugh because while I may not have godly gear, I sure as hell have great friends in my linkshell who would of come right away to lend a hand ^^). Eventually after about 15-20 minutes his friend Alexxia who had been in party but in Whitegate, came back from AFK (she had to leave and have dinner, so Anderoc figured me and him would of been able to duo the mobs) and made her way out to help.

The new plan: I solo the RNG and Anderoc solos the PLD, while Allexxia keeps us alive. This actually worked pretty well, though my stoneskin wasn't lasting very long and I needed quite a few heals. I was tossing out enfeebles, refreshes and keeping enthunder on myself while I slowly beat down the RNG. I managed to get about 3 Spirits Within @ 300% TP which did I believe just over 500 damage. This is what I ended up using to finish off the RNG with. And as soon as my orc was dead, I went to help Anderoc with his.




The fight probably lasted a good 15 minutes or more, and while we had been beating them down we had orcs nearby spawn and aggro so of course me and Allexxia were sleeping them one by one, and having to re-sleep them as they woke. I think we had close to 6-7 orcs that had linked and aggroed by the end, but as soon as the PLD NM was killed we quickly finished off the easy prey orcs around us.

Shortly after the PLD AF3, Terminataru logged in and myself and other LS members met up in whitegate to give him some help with his RDM AF3 fights. While we were waiting to see if Alianne's wife Lilstitch could login to help, Spalko handed out tarutaru rice cakes which were an event item from the festival doll event.



Shaoulin, who was on his other character Karihkinz at the time used another event item and turned into a hare, and the rest of us who were in tarutaru girl costumes surrounded him! We were gonna show him that tarutaru girls aren't so sweet and nice all the time!

After a few laughs, we headed out to Fei'yin to go fight Miser Murphy. When we got there we all got tp ready to weaponskill, and then engaged the evil haunt. All went smoothly though I do remember Spalko getting hit a few times and taking some hefty damage. I even decided to toss my 2hr in, and hit off a few blizzard IIIs, though if I remember looking back at the chat log I think they were all resisted and only did something like 53 damage X_X



Next up, Terminataru headed to San d'Oria to flag the next part of his quest, and the rest of us met up in Garlaige Citadel where Chpal, another RDM from our LS joined up with us. We went past the first banishing gate and killed a few skeletons in the room, and then popped the golem type NM.


He took a bit longer to kill because of course he had pretty high defense but we eventually killed him, and Terminataru got the last key item to go get his RDM hat!!

When we were done with this, I headed to West Ronfaure where I was going to wait for Xean to login and PL his BRD to lvl 10. Along the way, I found Carste one of our LS members who was lvling his SMN and offered to PL him until Xean got online. We headed to La Theine and he got to lvl 12 before I had to meet up with Xean.



And for the rest of the night, I PLed Xean and got his BRD from 8 - 10. Hopefully i'll find some time to PL him to 14 so he can party with my SMN, and then we can get those jobs to at least 37, though we definitely plan on taking them to 75 in the future. Gah, I have way too many jobs i'm working on right now, gotta try to learn to do one at a time, lol.
