Watchtower Hall Magic Carpet Ride

Hey Wizards! Sorry it's been a while since a post, I have been super busy and actually have a LOT more that I could post here but I am going to try and spread it out for you guys over a few posts :-)

A day or so before the big All-Star Meet & Greet hosted by myself and good friend, John, Lifeglen, he took Jadeblade and a few others on a ride around his house, via magic, flying carpets...hehe! So I wanted to show some pics of the ride they took and the up close views of the Runstones surrounding the property:

Big Bear Fort Runestone

Playing around with angles here; bet you didn't know lions could fly? ;-)

Lion Stuck in Stone.

Just Hanging around.

Floating mushrooms, mushrooms!

This is my favorite runestone here.

A closer look.

Ever had one of those days when it felt as if the rug had been yanked out from under you?

Gotta love walking on clouds!

As above, so below.

I'm not over the hill, I am over the roof top.

Hanging out in the trees with Cassandra Hexthorn.

During the party we had I had to go home for a minute to do something. When I walked in I had a really weird glitch, but unfortunately didn't catch a lot of it. I was seeing two of each pet in my house, except when I would open the tab to place items. As you can see here, though, the total number of items is completely messed up:

The number of items actually shown doubled!

And to end this little post I am throwing in these extra random pics:

Keira was with John at one of his friend's house and they put them in a tent; it was a really cool picture opportunity!

You might think this is a tent as well, but you would be wrong. This is inside a fountain at John's house. Cool that you can see the stars above the water :-)

Ok, wizards...more coming soon....so keep your eyes to the stars and your feet moving towards that next big adventure!

See ya in the Spiral!

Everyone Needs a Break Sometimes...

And I decided to go back to Free Realms a bit for a vacation today....

Two things I always loved about the game: 1) The days cycle through, night and day...I think it would be awesome if wizard did this, but I'm sure that will never happen. 2) It's beautiful, just like a painted dream.

The game is not better than Wizard, by any means, but it's sure less stressful as far as there are no famous people there and people are not trying to be better than each other constantly. It's a lot more relaxed...a lot less of a headache. So it's a nice vacation destination.

A few pics...

Me with my pet cat, Mojo, at Seaside.(The white swirls around my feet are from the speed boost my pet gives me.)

My favorite place to be and favorite thing to do there.

Me as an awesome Ninja in green.

Me as an Archer; my favorite combat job there.

At Snowhill.

My awesome Dragon mount, much cooler looking than the wizard carousel-looking dragons(sorry, but it just is!)

And, yes, you can actually swim there, and from Day 1 too!...and yes, cats can swim as well :)

Well, can't say it's something I can do for hours on end, especially since I am topped out in pretty much every job...and really all the ones I care about anyway....but it's a nice peaceful escape for some time here and there.

Bugs, Pet Grads, My Newest Wizard, & Crafting Madness!

So, I haven't been able to post much lately because I have been very busy! And rather than go into too much depth through words, that would take so much of your time, I thought I would just show you pics on what the family had been up lately and tell a little about them.

___________________________________________________

First off I have a new brother, his name is Elie SunCaster. He is Balance, and currently level 5. We were not going to add another to the family but a friend talked us into adding this kid, saying how good of a learner he is, etc. He definitely has potential, but he is going to have some slow going too because he is waiting to travel with some other friends before continuing past level 6, and even then, his journey may be a long one. So don't expect to hear too much about him again soon. But here he is anyway:

First Day

Level 5: Yes, we told him his colors were especially bright, but he promised to tone them down as he gains level. As you can see he also, already, has a small army of pet friends. His Krokotillian will be accompanying him most of the time, though, as it gives balance accuracy and that great low-level spell.

Ok next, it has been crafting madness with Gabi & Winterbane. Here is what they have been up to:

Kitchen Shelf Stand, crafted.

Kitchen Shelf Stand

Cuckoo Clock Crafted

Cuckoo Clock; yes, above my head! This item seems to place extremely high on walls. The little white speck you see is actually the Cuckoo coming out of the clock :)

Jar of Mushrooms Crafted. (Jar of Mandrake was also crafted, but not pictured here)

Ingredient Shelf Crafted.

Ingredient Shelf, Jar of Mandrake, and Jar of Mushrooms,(along with Jar of Bat Wings, which is a dropped item.) I really LOVE that this shelf has labels; very cute!

Kitchen Shelves Crafted.

Kitchen Shelves

Kitchen Ware Pots(Above my Head.)

Kitchen Ware Rack(wish I had some pots and pans I could hang on it too ;-) )

______________________________________________________________

Gabi here! And I have been hard at work in the little time I do get to have! Some of the items I crafted before Winterbane or Emerald even did! Emerald decided not to show her's, as she is giving her items to Jade for a semi-secret project they are working on! ^_^

Here is what I have made, though:

My Own Cuckoo Clock, which I made before Winter made her's. Emerald was visiting at the time :)

Lattice Cherry Pie, which every Mother should have in her Kitchen! (Winter visiting) Emerald has made this as well, and Winter will when she feels like it. She says she has all the reagents, but looking into other projects first.

Kitchen Ware Pots(shelf) to the left. Again, I made it first...lol

Sandwalker's Crabling gains Balance Accuracy!

Savannah's Colossus.

Keira's Defender Pig, Miss Gracie.

The now famous Prince Taz, Emerald's youngest Stormzilla.

Keira's Brown Spider, Gus.

Another short bit on how I LOVE BUGS!...

Keira and I were helping a friend get through the end of Marleybone one night. When we went to Counterweight West we got the bug with Old Smokey standing there as soon as our friend entered. I am thinking this is something that *maybe* happens to people who haven't been through yet, and only rarely as it didn't happen to the Twins.

Funny thing about this bug is that you enter the instance and you are facing Old Smokey's back, as seen in the first picture here:

After we went ahead and fought Old Smokey we were messing around, running in circles and acting goofy, suddenly we were caught by....invisible enemies!

So we did this a few times, and also discovered during the bug that Old Smokey returns...as do the invisible enemies....

So I ended up with this awesome Open Furnace and a Marleybonian Street Sign for fighting Smokey....

When we headed to Big Ben, still messing around....I noticed this mark on the back of the cat....some will say it looks like a tear...but we think it sort of looks like a spider...

Well, this is all the news for now...hope you are all having a great weekend!

See ya in the Spiral!
