My name is Grace Rainsmith and I am a rising wizard-detective who is currently training a Thaumaturge called Katie Ravenpetal. Recently I helped her out when some gardeners got trapped in the Haunted Cave after unearthing an ancient evil... I was stunned to see what it is; a vampire rabbit.
Author's Note: Aye, completed the Halloween instance. Nosferabbit is one of my favorite comedic characters because he's such a paradox and a nod to the kid's book Bunnicula. ^_^
I wanted to drain a lot of his animus and have him be a butler but sadly I didn't have enough time to go through that stupid dungeon fifteen times just to get 30 Nosferabbit Animus. :(
We went through Krokotopia only to discover, to my horror, that all of the enemies me and Rra Sierra had slain had risen from the grave, totally alive and angry. This was clearly Morganthe's work.
Even the Spider Queen in Savarstaad Pass was alive and well which bothered me. Could this be the work of our mutual enemy and her dark magic?
Author's Note: I had to explain why Katie was doing the same quests Grace did years ago. ;)
Katie is coming along. She has managed to accrue quite a bit of new spells from doing tasks for Mma Greyrose. I feel a bit left out but Katie treats me like a coach and mentor.
It does help that I carry her in mob fights. I have returned back to my Storm Lord for the time being, but my friend, Sierra, showed me a new spell and I feel like I will get one from wherever my friend has gotten her spell, one just as powerful if not more so.
Author: I love Sirens, yes I do, but the original Sirens cost two pips too much and take a long time to do their thing. The pet Sirens is cheaper but weaker, so I decided to stick with Tempest and Storm Lord until we get Squall Bugs.
Katie and I toured Marleybone and dealt with a revival of the O'Leary gang, and while we explored, Katie told me of an amazing adventure she had before coming to Ravenwood, one which convinced her to become a wizard...
She had told me that she traveled with a penguin from a world called Polaris. I recalled Polaris, it had been the home of Napolenguin, the rebel who declared war on the Spiral... a war which ended very badly for him. Katie told me about the much nicer penguin she traveled with, a deep sea explorer called Jock Coosto, and their adventure traveling to the Data Atoll to find a rare species of fish called the Micro Fish, which stored all of the data of the Spiral on its scales.
She told me about the amazing creatures she fought...
And the leader of the creatures, a crab called Dewey Decibel who was using the Micro Fish to study the Spiral. I was amazed that she fought them all off with only a rusty blade her father had given her as a memento. Even without magic, Mma Ravenpetal was an amazing warrior.
"It all turned out okay," she said, beaming. "Jock and I made a truce with Dewey and managed to set the Micro Fish free..."
"But I caught one for my own home!" she giggled. She then got serious. "I learned so much about the Spiral, and I know all about Azteca from the Fish. I'll help you out, I just need a lot of training in the ways of Ice Magic."
Katie was extremely tough, brash and smart, no wonder she was doing so well.
She even showed off a live electric eel she used as a weapon. "Jock gave it to me and taught me how to hold it so it won't hurt me," she added. I admit that anyone who can attack a monster with a living electric eel, much less hold it without getting harmed, was amazing.
Author's Note: Yep, goodbye food money. But the Fantastic Voyage Bundle is worth the $40. Barring all else, completing the Fantastic Voyage instance gives you a fishing spot where you can catch Micro Fish - this is the only place you can get these fish - and a free 33%+ fishing luck elixir for one hour! This is just amazing. And the eel whip is a super-cool weapon. It's a shame I will have to get rid of it once we get much better weapons. I might give it to my set of wizards I plan on doing video walks of.
Katie was invited to the Immortal Games and while I was worried about her fighting Zeus and Ares, she managed to pull through just fine.
Author's Note: Ares used his normal attack on Katie THREE TIMES IN A ROW. WTH?!!?! X(
She told me that she was good friends with my cousin's love. Yes, I had finally gotten the items and crafted the first of many Monstrodomes for Rra Fairy. He supplied the monsters.
Author's Note: FINALLY. I got the Wizard City Monstrodome up. It has Lady Blackhope, Sergeant Skullsplitter, Bastilla Gravewynd and Lord Nightshade in it. Katie popped in to break it in and lost half of her health. I admit, even the Wizard City Bosses are no slouch when they get together!
Sadly, Chris and Grace are going to be AWOL in December as I intend to only fund two accounts to save money for the holidays. I deleted Sabrina Starsong and will probably delete Chris Fairy if I decided to renew Grace. I have enough time to get Katie through Azteca.
Then we visited Wysteria and Katie signed up for the next Spiral Cup Tournament. I recalled me and Sierra fighting in that tournament last year and winning the actual Spiral Cup. The final battle was me against her and she beat me despite my defenses. Of course, the prize was not the real Spiral Cup, just a finely made replica, but Katie appreciated it anyways...
Especially after kicking the pork rinds out of Spellshine and humiliating him again.
Author's Note: Finally got to use this TC - an Ice-based Sabertooth is pretty nifty. Unfortunately, power pip chance is very low for Katie at this level. Also, had to explain why people get multiple Spiral Cups even though there is only supposed to be one.
We then visited Grizzleheim and Mma Ravenpetal extracted something called 'animus' to make some party guests for her campsite home. She told me about Monstrology and we visited the fox-woman Mma Burke, who gave me a spell to steal the essence of undead by using my attacks. I used this to get the special treasure cards Rra Fairy wanted for his next Monstrodome.
Author's Note: I transferred the Mirage Raider's camp bundle and everything in it over to Katie before deleting the other character I had on this account. Also, Katie spent all of her money on the Extract Pig spell which I plan on using to extract animus from the Spiral Cup Gauntlet bosses. ;)
I had to go home to compile a report of my progress but when I got back Katie was flush with glee.
"Grace! Grace!" she cried. "Guess who helped me out with clearing Mirkholm Keep!"
I was curious. "Who is this nice wizard?"
"She claimed to be your old pal!"
My jaw dropped. No, it couldn't be...
