Problems in Assault
Another busy Wednesday full of Assault. Floors 56-60 went very smooth with Khimaira waiting for us at the end. It went down a little slower than normal without a sixth, but was smooth over all. Khimaira ended up giving us Askar manopolas. Like everything else from Nyzul so far they went to me because no one else wanted them. I was hoping for Goliad gloves. That would put me two items away from the entire Goliard set.
After beating Khimaira we entered again on Kyliee's disk. On floor 62 she disconnected. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal. We would still continue and hope for the win, but she had to disconnect on the only floor we needed her for. We were given the easiest lamp conditions, everyone register on a single lamp. All she had to do was click it and we would have been able to finish the floor set, not wasting our Assault tags. Two rooms away she disconnected and didn't return. We waited twenty five minute hoping she would come back so we could rush through the final floors, but she didn't come back on. Originally we were hoping that after she disconnected it would let us finish the floor with four of us registered, but we weren't so lucky. It makes sense that she needed to be registered to finish the floor, but it would be nice if there was some sort of exception. Floor 80 is two weeks away for us instead of next week now. Oh well, stuff happens.
With Nyzul finished we did two Royal Painter Escort. We have been getting much better. We can do it nearly flawlessly, but are still having a problem near the end. After Faluuya finishes painting in the hold of the Ashu Talif Black Bart loses interest in Nivlakian and chases Faluuya to the poop deck. I am unable to pull hate with enfeebles and do not have enough time to cast elemental magic as he is running by, Suiram is too busy making sure a monk doesn't kill Faluuya to stop Black Bart, and Nivlakian's abilities do not seem to be enough to grab Black Bart's attention until he can engage him again. As soon as we can figure out how to handle this problem we should be getting three chests every Ashu Talif.
While we have yet to get the third chest Ashu Talif finally rewarded us with a Yoichi's sash. This is an easy three or four million for us to split. We haven't earned anything worthwhile since the turbo charger dropped, but this sash helps make up for the lack of valuable items. Hopefully with more to come.

Would anyone with access to Homam manopolas use these? |

I'm going to say we are 1/10. |
