Welcome to Cove

*written in a flowing, graceful script*

Having woke up in a sour mood this morning, I decided to take out my bad mood on a manner of beast that I find myself disliking immensely- the Ettins. After reading through the Task Board, I noticed that this was an available-and attractive-task. An adventurer in Cove told me the best place to find these foul creatures was Dungeon Despise. After securing the needed supplies, I ventured off into the unknown.

And soon wished I hadn't.
The first Ettin I met there was old and slow. I took him down with a few well-placed Energy Bolts relatively easy.

Unfortunately for me, the sounds of our battle brought a clan of Ettins-and, for good measure, an Earth Elemental-lumbering down the caves towards me. I, of course, reacted calmly and rationally.

Taking a chance, I cast a simple fireball at the bag.The resulting explosion threw me to the ground and killed the Ettins and their Elemental companion quite effectively. Standing up, I watched the bodies burn and smolder.

Even boring. There's only so many Ettins one can kill before you start to notice how badly their blood stinks and how amazingly well it stains your kilt.[img]<a href="http://img301.imageshack.us/my.php?image=test6.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/7016/test6.th.png" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://img604.imageshack.us/content.php?page=blogpost&files=img301/7016/test6.png" title="QuickPost"><img src="http://imageshack.us/img/butansn.png" alt="QuickPost" border="0"></a>)
After a few hours of the slaughter, I accumulated the required potions and my mood was much improved. Even if my kilt is a little stained.
