Meanwhile, I&#8217;ve been stirring up some excitement of my own.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>My clanmate Tonle and I were sitting around town<br \/>\ntoday, with our usual restlessness to go exploring somewhere. After<br \/>\nsome discussion, we decided to check out the maze-like passages known<br \/>\nas Alchemist&#8217;s Folly(AF). We even managed to gather some exiles foolish<br \/>\nenough to join us, and we headed to the entrace to AF, which is found<br \/>\nin the Dark Cave.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>For those of yi who have never been to AF, the<br \/>\nentrance is a very narrow passage, filled with undine. To make matters<br \/>\nworse, large boulders fly at exiles from the north end of the passage.<br \/>\nThe tunnels are such that it is easy to get trapped by the undine,<br \/>\nwhile rocks pelt yi from above. Unfortunately, this was exactly what<br \/>\nhappened to us.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>The first party which ventured into Alchemist&#8217;s<br \/>\nFolly was felled in record time, and everyone was forced to depart.<br \/>\nHowever, some of us were undaunted by our failure, and headed back into<br \/>\nthe tunnels after regrouping in town. We departed a second time, after<br \/>\nwhich we decided to call it quits.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Thus, our AF exploration party was a failure.<br \/>\nHowever, we all learned some valuable lessons about fighting in tight<br \/>\nquarters, and the next time I am confident that we will be able to make<br \/>\nit through the narrow entrance, and into the more expansive tunnels<br \/>\nthat follow.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 233, Year 546 of the Ascendancy Well, I managed to miss it.
