SC updates, playing Rosalia, DR Talliska training

Okay... I feel less cranky today. :O

First of all, found a new Soul Collectors player. And I actually got a better time for SC... every other Saturday at 4PM. I'll make sure it ends before my usually nightly stuff (PSU, or 1890s game).

Saturday just ended up being better in general, since people are at work and school on weekdays, and I also have a European player who needs to sleep by 9 PM my time. I just happen to have that afternoon time free, since I left ADoA, and it'd only take half my Saturdays anyway. So I thought, "why not?"

The new SC player is going to play a Redsid, so, now I've got 2 Sids, 2 Solars and an Abby (...walk into a bar... uh, just kidding! :D) I'm going to have a Lunar character as backup, so that covers that base, especially if one of the players drops or something. So I guess that's that!

The game starts May 24th now. n.n So I can relax a while, catch up on sleep. That's *definitely* good.

Right now, though, I'm RPing with Nekira. This is the first time we've actually gotten to play a *full* session, and I'm liking it so far. I was a bit apprehensive about playing Rosalia properly, but apparently the young and fortunate noble/socialite role isn't as difficult for me as I might've thought. ^^ It's actually pretty fun! And I got to start out with being all official and stuff.

I've also been playing more DR. :O Mostly just scripting with Talliska, though, I have to admit. I rewrote my swimming and climbing scripts, and both are training nicely now. My scouting script works as well as always (though I ended up writing both a short and long version, the short being the single trail all the way up to the Riverhaven ferry, the long one taking all the shorter trails leading to the same destination. I've had to use the long one sometimes, particularly when Talliska's Ranger bonus got tanked after an Order gathering. Ouch!)

Then there's foraging... up to 95 ranks now, and I can forage fir limbs pretty much consistently. Man, the foraging rank chart at Olwydd's just doesn't work for me, though. It was probably made by a ranger (like... Olwydd himself, heh!) with much higher stats than mine, 'cause I've always needed about 20 ranks above the stated ranks on his chart.

Perception trains well enough between juggling, scouting and foraging... it's honestly hard NOT to have high perception as a Ranger.

What else... I've been training evasion in combat, and skinning. I've been neglecting my skinning as of late, mostly because the only place with a good supply of blood wolves in Zoluren has those ogres wandering around. So I've been trying to get Talliska's combat stats high enough to contend with them, as well.

Unfortunately, I need 3 skinning ranks to circle. Bah! On the other hand, I've gotten almost the entirety of the 36 general survival ranks I needed. It'll be nice to hit 30th, because I'm going to start concentrating on some much neglected skills, like my magic and lore skills, as well as disarm and lockpicking (I'll probably hit up rock trolls for that, or maybe dusk ogres up in Haven, if I can stomach even *being* in Haven. Heh!)

And that's that! Pondering starting up Sims 2 again to poke at between posts with Nekira... It kinda crashed the last time I quit out of it, so I'm hoping I didn't lose any of my progress from last time. n.n
