Part 11: Are we there yet?

Yes, I didn't update recently and you missed a lot of stuff, so I feel bad. But then again, since Christina has been showing up in the Tightwad Conjurer as a character, I don't feel too bad about it.

This character is questing about the same time as Zenmaster Blue puts out his full game walkthrough videos. I will reduce each post to short summaries with illustrations to save bandwidth because I am focusing mostly on the storytelling of the Tightwad Conjurer. I am not abandoning the chronicles here as I want to talk about my favorite wizards on my files. So enjoy this update!

Christina: "Uh, don't wizards do that sort of thing?" 9_9

Christina: "Oops! I knew I should have taken the left fork from Marleybone!" (Bug Bunny reference FTW!)

Christina: "YO! OUT OF THE CAMERA, HOODIE!!!" :( (Wow, that was AMAZING timing, catching someone's closeup!)

Christina: "Okay, I know this is a place which worships dragons but... still..." X_X

After getting Power Nova, Christina went through the Plaza of Conquests and Grand Chasm pretty well, tackling all the sidequests too. This took moons as the sidequests have a lot of battling in them, but she managed to hit Grandmaster after helping Sunbrand save his ghostly kin, which meant...

Yeah, I don't have the right screenshot for this, sorry. :(

Yep, time for a sneaking into Celestia to get her first Sun spell! ^_^

Christina: "Trick me once, shame on me, trick me twice..."

She also finished the Labyrinth with Amy Mistcloud's help(and the imposter Zenmaster Blue, but hey, she didn't know that anyone could pretend to be the TRUE Ethan Mythblade); she also got a pet egg(Boss Banshee) from the Dean, how neat is that? Greaaat, now I'm channeling Ina Garten...

Christina: "BRB."

Amy: "Thank goodness, I need a shower after doing the Whirling Dervish dance in this heckhole!"

Christina: "Have smelly-butt Gobblers in your pantry? Use STRONG VAMPIRE!" ^_^

She also got a little ahead of Blue, getting all the Obsidian Chests (thanks to the Real Lou for pointing out in the walkthrough that you should have a character camp in the Dean's prison until you get the quest to get the dragon rider staff pieces and just port in to avoid having to fight all those first bosses again; Amy was the camper ^_^) and getting into the Crystal Grove and getting to work on some side-quests. I can't wait for Blue to start Wintertusk as Christina will be following him in - Amber Rainbow and Chris Storyteller on my first sub-account have already entered Hrundle Fjord.

Ciao for now!

Part 9: Dragon My Feet Here...

(My apologies for not updating this blog sooner - I tend to wait until Blue does his walk-through and he's finishing up Grizzleheim as of now, so this is a very short update.)

Disclaimers: I don't own the pictures here. They were Googled for.

Christina: "Eat gas, Jotun!" :p

Christina: "Time to die, Coven! Bwa ha ha!!!" (Mord and Munin survived the first onslauht.)

You may wonder why I didn't do a Grizzleheim title card. Well, I just did the various parts of Grizz during my other travels, so Christina completed the last parts of Grizzleheim - Nidavellir and Ravenscar - on her own time during Dragonspyre. I had to get some help for Nidavellir as only one person was able to join her on the quest to defeat Jotun. :(

First thing she did was defeat Cyrus and get access to the Atheneum and then deal with the Loremaster so she could get that done. (She is trying to get all the Lore Spells crafted instead after having a failure run with Koto.) Dragonspyre's Basilica is the best place to fill up on mana and health after a tough battle. ^_^

Also, if you've read my tales of the Tightwad Conjurer, you can see she also completed the Winterbane Hall gauntlet, which was difficult - she had to flee a few times - but not impossible. She ended up wasting 400 crowns on a Level 100 henchman to survive against the ice dragon final boss... who healed Sierra instead of her. I do plan on doing the Midnight Pagoda and, hopefully, the new Spiral Cup Gauntlet that has come out.

Christina: "Don't look at me like fresh meat, Zarathrax - I have two mean metal men manning my cart and they could vaporize you with a mean look if they wanted." :p

But she got frustrated and completed the Tower Archives part of Dragonspyre ahead of time. The quests there were a struggle. I can see why Zenmaster Blue doesn't like this world much. Neither does Christina or me. ;_;

Christina: "Let me get this straight, Al... I had to cheat my way to get a magic crystal, then re-defeat the Plague Oni, and create this work of art... and you want me to destroy it? You're a crazy old fool..."

Christina: "Then again, I'm a crazy young fool for taking this school of magic! It's just money!" *SMASH*

*cackles insanely*

However, I did manage to get her to Level 48 and got Power Nova, thanks to a little help from Amber Rainbow on my other account - spell quests that expect you to travel to the middle of a world are moot when you have wizards who completed that world. ^_^ It really helped with Ravenscar and it helped when she helped Amber get through Hrundle Fjord (so Amber could help Sierra grow her Evil Magma Peas by farming for drops) and Austrilund.

NEWS FLASH!!!! FISHING?!!?

(Newsreel music)

We interrupt your usual blog to bring you THIS special report.

"This is Master Sun Serpent, Caster of the News in the Spiral. This is a special report. NEWS FLASH!!! A new activity has been spreading like wildfire..."

"Oops, sorry. Can't help myself. *cough* Anyways, to give the details, we head to our roving reporter in the Commons, Chris Icedreamer. Take it away!"

 "Thank you, Master SS. This is BIG news! Thanks to the recent defeat of Morganthe in Khrysalis, a power flux has produced strange effects all over the Spiral, mainly in Wizard City... namely..."

"Fish? That's right, folks. Fish have come to rest in the waters of the Spiral and every wizard worth his salt is swapping their wands for fishing poles and fly-fishing like the second coming of Xilbalba! A pelican from Skull Island, Lure Fisherhook, is said to be coming to Wizard City to help out the new fisher-wizards and give them something worth their catch! We don't know when he's arriving, but when he does, you can bet your booty(yar!) that wizards who are growing tired of gardening and crafting will bite the hook(rimshot) on this event! Back to you, Master SS!"

"Thank you, Chris. Right now we don't know when the fishing will be legalized. Ambrose had this to say: 'Oh my, not ANOTHER time-wasting activity! I know Malistaire and Morganthe are gone but the students shouldn't slack on their training!' And that's all he said about the matter. We'll give more details as things develop. That's all for now, we return you to your regularly scheduled blog." (Newsreel music)

(It's my, Raltsmaster. The Test Realm is up for Wizard101 this month and you probably guess what was in it - the new Fishing activity! Yep, you thought Gardening and Crafting were it? YOU THOUGHT WRONG! HA HA HA! ^_^ Go check out Blaze Lifehammer's video in this link to see the process you go through to do it. This will be a fun update when it hits live realm. Sadly, I cannot do test realm as only paying members who bought stuff online can go there. :( )
