Fortunately for me, I only had to make one lamp (as 9 lamps I made last year didn&#8217;t get imped due to my own stupidity).<br \/>\nAlso had to get prem. This time I chose the 1 month &#038; 1s option (instead of the typical 1 month &#038; 5s option, as money is pretty tight right now). The silver lining being that I still had 7s in the token. So I&#8217;m not hurting (right now).<br \/>\nAs for the lamp, I tried to imp it as high as possible (to make it look like I had this lamp for awhile and effort was put in to make it work), until it required a whetstone. 17.79QL was the result.. meh.<br \/>\nTomorrow evening, is when I&#8217;ll set sail for Magranon&#8217;s Rest. And of course I&#8217;ll have B2 with me. Though I still need to work out how I&#8217;m going to go about doing that. But I think it would just be as simple as both of us in my Knarr. I don&#8217;t -have- to get home, so I should be good.<br \/>\nThe only problem is, B2 would have to be the one carrying all the lamps. Unless I bring a regular cart (as I won&#8217;t have access to horses). Might work. Plus I can bring anything else I feel needs imped (other than lamps).<\/p>\n<p>With that out of the way, and Sol still high in the sky, I decided to hop in my Knarr and check out what was OR (and see if anyone has decided to move into it). I&#8217;ve been meaning to do it for some time (though I was going to wait &#8217;till near the Inde Impalong). Also had to head back home thinking I forgot my combat gear (which was already on my person), though I also grabbed my water skin.<br \/>\nBy the time I got there, it was dark (as I had a few things to do IRL). And, the only beings that had &#8216;moved in&#8217;.. were the mobs. My guard tower was still standing, and I used it to &#8216;remove the freeloaders&#8217;.<br \/>\nWhich consisted of a crocodile, a scorp, a wolf, a lava spider, and a hellhound (all killable without a horse). With them dead, I went up the main ramp. I started getting worried with the deed gone, that the main ramp gates would no longer see me as the owner. Thankfully they did open.<br \/>\nWhere the inner deed was, is a spider and a bear hanging out there. Ended their lives for not paying their &#8216;property taxes&#8217; (as I did with the others).<br \/>\nIt felt like that song that goes by &#8220;Back OFF, I&#8217;ll take you ONNN! Headstrong, I&#8217;ll take on anyone!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now all the mobs are dead (and realizing I left my lantern at home), I used this time of quiet to think of what has lead all the way up to this point (plus wondering if moving was the right thing to do). And I have to say&#8230;yes, yes it was a good idea to move. I know no one likes me in Cele, but looking to the north..all I can see is that dragon I tried to protect last year. That&#8217;s the main reason right there why I had to move.<br \/>\nYet, when looking over the NW side of the old deed, and seeing &#8216;dat view. That view, I feel I can never get with DTH. Yet that view is also the deed&#8217;s Achilles&#8217; Heel (having to go up and down ramps to reach the deed).<br \/>\nI&#8217;m honestly not surprised no one wants the deed. Inde&#8217;s northern sector is dying a slow death, with its southern side blossoming (due to its easy connection to Deli).<\/p>\n<p>After finding a lamp I forgot to grab, it was time to leave and head back home. One thing I forgot to mention, is the deed to the ESE of my deed has really developed since I&#8217;ve been away from the game. Infact the southern canal now has an unofficial name; called &#8216;Sunset Canal&#8217;, with a wide slate bridge crossing it. Hopefully that means it&#8217;ll be an official thing of the Cele Community Map.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Exodus Impalong starting this Friday, I did what I typically do when preparing for an impalong; making lamps to be imped (instead of offering my services and helping).
