My baby's turning 65!

I don't wanna rush ahead with the post, but... I HIT 65 ON MY MINI TODAY!  :D  It was technically "today"... 1:24am.  Okay, it's out of my system, I'll be fine now.  I can continue in relative calm now... sorry.

Okay, so here I am at 63 two days ago, churning Kierraen through her epic questlines in Mirkwood.  Saving little Gollum here from an orc oppressor.  Sadly as soon as combat was over, Gollum ran.  I had hoped we'd sit down and have some tea and talk over some fish...

I know - not the most interesting of shots, just me mapping out to somewhere in Middle Earth, but I noticed while zoomed in on this particular porting, the amount of detail even in something as simple as the map we read.  Really pretty amazing, and one of the things I most enjoy about LOTRO - all the little details.

Eww.  Spiders.  I. HATE. SPIDERS.

Ah, a beautiful starry evening... the moon rising above the peaks... wait, what's that pink wriggly thing obscuring my view of Ursa Minor?!?

Crap.  More spiders.  Yep - whacked a lot of these furry critters during my epic questline revolving around saving or transporting or smacking on Mazog.

I want this dress.  It's beautiful... though I find the face on the NPC so very realistic, it boarders on creepy.  Kinda one of those Paris-Hilton-blank-modelling-creepy sorts of stares.

I'm hot.  Just sayin'.  ;P

Got to solo the watcher yesterday!  Epic fun!  I mean, what's the big deal with Vile Maw anyways?  He went down easy!  (Okay, okay, so I had inspiration and 23,000 morale, but so what? I'm still just a squishy minstrel, right?)  Hehe.

Gah, another amazing dress on an NPC that never appreciates what she's been clothed in.  I want this dress too... Arwen's in Rivendell during one of my epic quest lines.  ./sigh

While pushing through more epics, half way through L64, I ran into this rock-beast creature in the depths of Moria.  Cool fight, though there was the occasional sounds of metal hitting rock, and I was playing my clarinet the whole time... ;)

One of many Grand Stairs runs over the past couple days... Anessen, Katon, Ketter, Haldarin, and Maldokraspot posed as we waiting for the battle to begin.

Here he is... my famous Hishtgropor Raveger in Mirkwood.  Come to mama!

./slash ./hack ./deathsong ...and he dies, and I level up to 65!!!  I kinda felt sorry for the orc.  No I didnt. :D

My first Grand Stairs run as L65.  I love these runs... this one was a full clear earlier today.  A great group that was chatty, entertaining, in good spirits, and just fantastic to run with.  Thanks to Ivann, Bigdennis, Katon, Eldrandir and Vahnya.  I was the only one that died during the run... because I was completely ignoring my own health while being smacked on by 4 wargs.  Hehehe.  "Oops!"

Love and hugs to all my fellow Dwarrowdelfians,
