Warrior AF Quest/Level 51 Party, Quicksand Caves

Last night was another productive night. We spent the first part of our evening working on the next part of the Warrior AF quests for Reflaa, "The Taleskeeper's Truth". This was a two part quest: we had to acquire a Mottled Quadav Egg from a spawned NM in Palborough Mines, and a Parasite skin from the Yagudo Parasites in Castle Oztroja. Amedelie was going to be late, so Almeth and I ran off with Reflaa to take care of the Parasite skin first. Since Reflaa didn't yet have Tonko: Ichi (still on our "to do" list) he parked right inside the zone while Almeth and I ran off to find the the Yagudo Parasites we were looking for. The leeches are level 45-48, so they we figured they'd be pretty easy for a 56 Thief and 51 White Mage to take out, and you know what, they probably are when you fight one of them. All four though, well, that's a different story:

"Oh no, Almeth, save yourself!!!!!!!!!!!"

I wish I could say Almeth made it out alive, but unfortunately, with the 4 leeches chasing him, plus who knows how many Yagudo also giving chase, he caught a nasty Holy bomb and that was it. I had previously set my Home Point in Bastok so I could run around with Reflaa and point out all the peeps he needed to talk to after we got the drop, so I got to sit out that portion of the adventure while Almeth ran back out to take care of getting the drop. This time none of the leeches linked, and the skin dropped immediately, so Reflaa used his Instant Warp scroll to come back to Bastok and get the talking parts done. By this point Amedelie was online, so Ame collected Almeth and headed towards Palborough Mines for the next leg of our quest. After Reflaa and I finished up our shit in town, I changed jobs to Dancer, and we grabbed choco's and made our way to Palborough to finish off the next portion...

Once we got where we needed to be, Reflaa spawned the NM, and we proceeded to beat his ass down:

Piece of cake... :)

After that was completed, we all took the boat from Palborough back to Bastok and got ourselves ready to get an Empress Band in. I was originally going to go out as White Mage again, but I wasn't feeling it, so I stayed Dancer. We decided to give Garlaige a rest this time, and made our way out to Quicksand Caves to fight some Anticans and Beetles again. After a Teleport-Altepa from Ame, we made our way to our spot, Ame changed into Ranger in Rabao, and we got to killing...

Chilling out while we wait for Ame.

"Ooooh, Spike Ball to the face!"



After catching that Spike Ball in the lip, Almeth fights back with his ultra mega damage Rainbow Attack!



Almeth regains the level he lost earlier to those leeches, so cheers were in order... :)

We finished off our bands relatively quickly, and called it a night soon after that. Like I said, another productive night for BD! :)
