sorry for the delay guys. my new network is bedding in and i need to sleep and eat and be with george and walk and just generally integrate the body and rest into the process. it is organic, after all. not like programming a computer.
so last night after my walk and before bed (the best night's sleep I've had in... 4 monhts? anyway I booted it up and the weirdest thing: only one enemy. a goblin. I have the newbie take care of it solo to powerlevel.
wake up this morning and boot it up again while I drink my half-caf, and 1 goblin again. newbie once more but he has throwstone and stuff now so I just took my time and leveled him.
he now has JpUP and move+1 and I have switched him to chemist. he's 1 level below my other peeps so next fight might see them get back into the mix and him to take the rear and act as a healer. who knows.
randomosity within constraints. see you soon matthew. please let me know your prefered protocol name. you will be my chief mage.
