bell porter emote is sizzling with magic. well today was looking good.  i
started with 130k xp, and decided to lock in my next 400k level block.  party
went ok.  doing nice and safe stuff.  did taiga, rendburg, caves of oranc,
zebells, and things were looking good.  i needed like 45k to get my level, and
was going to finish it off in mantis cornfields.  Only my party, which had
earned 855k in 3 hours, got highjacked by "little boy's big brother" as soon
as we went into room.  I (party leader) got meteor stormed and died.  Whole
party wipe, except one member who was selling loot for us at the time.  Sigh. 
I took a body, lost 95k or so, and quit, much depressed.  Did sac two items
for luck though, and made nice money.  (Party made about 45k cash).  Hopefully
tomorrow will be better.  Ended the day after 3 hour party only 110k higher
than i started.  (244k towards my 400k block.)
