Ok, this was an action packed session. Or has been so far...

At first I did some minor soloing, mainly testing out if these "ruby claws"
that I got for free from Dreadlord are better than the "silvery amazon gloves"
I had previously. He said they would change my martial-arts-damage into
monster-damage. I don't know if that is the case, since I think I'm still
seeing the same kinds of melee messages. Hmm... Now that I think about it,
maybe the "testing" part was mainly just hoping for better damage and not
paying any attention to the actual effect. Will do this with more care the
next time. If I remember to.

I also bought an appartment in "X", Nosunrise's player city. Now I have more
space in my MUD appartment than I have IRL. I think that must be the most
depressing thing in a while. On the other hand, what can you expect from RL
student appartments? Definitely not space :)
So I'm looking for a chest to store my (extra?) equipment now. I don't feel
like carrying this other pair of gloves (or claws?) around on my person is a
very good idea. But, of course, after getting an apparment, I am a bit
strapped for gold. So I don't think I can go for the chest size I would like
to have.

Also, I'm still looking for a "silvery amazon breastplate", although it looks
to be a bit on the heavy side. Maybe I should just try and go for the 5% more
trained martial arts instead?

Which brings me to the topic of experience points. I got some of those today,
partying with Angu. My total worth went up by almost 25% in this session, from
roughly 4 million to 4.9 million. Angu suggested I should take 5 levels of
Tarmalen, to get access to better healing abilities and thus increased exp
rates. That I did and now I have studied 'cure light wounds' to 100% (with
bonuses). I hope this will get my rates up. At least it will help me survive
better and be less hindrance in parties, since I can do a bit of my own
healing.

Also, I need to solve a few more quests now. Too bad I can't really solve the
ones for levels 35 thru 39 anymore, so I will have to go for the more
difficult ones. I really want those training points, since my strength is
quite a bit lower than my dexterity or constitution. I need to pump the next
five levels' training into strength, I think.

That's all for now. I think I'll go see if there's any Livingstone-hunting to
be done. Need those gold coins - badly.
