For my New Year&#8217;s resolution, I&#8217;ve decided to try to<br \/>\nupdate my scrolls more often, and keep the durn thing up to date, but<br \/>\nalready it is the 10th day of Winter, so I&#8217;m obviously not doing a very<br \/>\ngood job! ;p<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Well, anyhow, I spent the few days preceding the<br \/>\nNew Year hunting greymere in the Greymere Village with Gurgi and some<br \/>\nof his companions. It was good hunting, and I managed to hit all of<br \/>\nthey greymere that we hunted. The greymere are pretty easy to hit once<br \/>\nthey lose their balance(they&#8217;re so big!), but still yet, they are<br \/>\ndangerous to hunt because the small rocks(err, large boulders) that<br \/>\nthey throw can kill an exile beyond remedy. It was still very good<br \/>\nhunting, and a good way to pass the time before the new year.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/greyhunting.gif\" alt=\"Greymere Hunting\" width=\"235\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Several days later, the New Year had arrived. I&#8217;ve<br \/>\nheard about some big parties that were held in the days preceding the<br \/>\nNew Year, but the actual New Year came to pass with little fanfare and<br \/>\ncelebration. Many exiles were asleep, or engrossed in their studies. No<br \/>\nmatter though, the New Year came, and those present to witness it<br \/>\nkissed and hugged each other, and wished each other well in the coming<br \/>\nyear. The beer kegs were aplenty, and candy popped up in town square at<br \/>\nrandom intervals, for no apparent reason. All in all, it was a mellow,<br \/>\nbut quaint New Year&#8217;s celebration.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/newyear.gif\" alt=\"Happy New Year!\" width=\"346\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Obviously this New Year&#8217;s Spirit has caught on to<br \/>\nsome of our exiles, for just two days later, the infamous Malkor(AKA<br \/>\nSpriggin Boy) returned the last of the valuable tomes to Libros. The<br \/>\nlibrarian Lirric was quick to add an extention to Edric&#8217;s already<br \/>\ncomprehensive collection of tomes, and now we have a new library in<br \/>\nwhich to study! The only problem is, this new library is rather<br \/>\nexpensive. Lirric charges 175 coins a Zodiac(that&#8217;s 25 coins an OOC<br \/>\nday, folks!) and the education received is not much greater than what<br \/>\ncan be gained for a seventh of the cost at Edric&#8217;s old library. Still,<br \/>\nit makes a noticable difference, so those with the coins may want to<br \/>\ntry it out.
