Galkas everywhere~ o_o

Most Bastok missions revolve around the Galkas - not suprisingly. They pop up everywhere, and it seems the Humes actually have only a rather faint idea of what's going on.

These missions double as lessons of Galkan history, too. The adventurers were dispathed to explore the caves under Altepa Desert, and they ended up finding ancient murals depicting the sad tale of the Anticans driving the Galkas from their original home. So tragic, and so ancient... (Hmmm perhaps General Phu saw these wall before Galkas doodled all over them...)


Before the history lesson there were some Anticans to defeat, however. Pasifika and Lina were helped by a wonderful puppet, and a Hume that came along with it.
Oh, I can't go through with that... Thanks Astarael~~ ^_^




When you think of Bastok you think of Galkas, and the other way around... but Pasifika also befriended a cool San d'Orian Galka - in the icy North, appropriately. :o

But that was actually another adventure altogether... where was I?

After the Anticans in the tunnel... a gigantic slime in another tunnel. And it turned into lots of smaller slimes, more and more of them... o_o

But we beat the slimes, thank you for all the help!

Now we're nearing the final showdown, and after that... all three corners of the world will be safe fot Tarutarus!! :D

Soon Pasifika can return home to Windurst, to the familiar lo~ng winding roads, Tarutarus flocking all around, gentle breeze from the sea whispering in the palm trees... *_*

Tarutarus~! ...I mean, missions!

When Pasifika's tarutaru-sense tingled, she knew there was a party somewhere, with a tarutaru-content of at least 50 %, and it was in some kind of trouble!

Pasifika's premonitions lead her to Crawler's Nest, where a taru ninja tank was battling evil crawlers with annoying sticky thread. :O With two other tarus, two humes and a galka, the party was managing, but not doing very well.

Pasifika to the rescue~!

The taru content of the party increased as time went by, and they were so~ cute. ^_^

Pasifika has been very busy helping tarus, entertaining Moogle and doing other similarly important tasks, but Lina reminded her that they should also do some national missions. Ah yes, Pasifika is a Bastoker now, and she should do her best to make sure the Republican areas are safe. Cid had asked for something a while back, what was it again...

First, Lina lead Pasifika to Ro'Maeve, and together they defeated an evil statue. The fight wasn't very hard, although there were some complications later, but all in all things went well, no problem.

Were everyone happy with this heroic feat? Not really... There were more problems just waiting to pop to the surface, and Lina and Pasifika were dispatched to the Palborough Mines to find a lost adventurer.

The trail lead to the burning circle, and there was a crowd there! :O

...but only Lina and Pasifika were interested in saiving poor Hani. ^^;

They did their best and managed to bring down one of the four quadavs, but after that they had to, er, retreat and regroup.



Luckily a great samurai came to help them, and the quadavs didn't stand a chance after that. :D

Where has all the banter gone...

I liked the Europa linkshell site where people could gather forces for missions and NMs but also talk about everything in FFXI and outside it. Mustrum's comments were actually beverage-through-you-nose kind of dangerous, but he was by no means the only funny or interesting one there.

This is not the same as the actual LS blog/site, obviously, but as long as there's no more official active site, perhaps it could serve some similar purposes: Lina's FFXI forum

This forum was made a while ago, but we never got around to advertising it or even telling friends about it, so nothing happened. It feels a bit weird to tell people to go to the mainly empty forum, but we'll just have to hope people start filling it. :D

I miss the planning, talk and weird banter, and since I don't play that many hours per day, I'm not that well versed in what's going on in LS or FFXI in general. People I knew and liked just disappear without a trace - or come back when I had no idea they were actually gone - or someone organises interesting activities, and those not on at that specific moment may never know. I'm not saying you *have to* tell anyone these things, but it would be kind of nice... so here's the chance for those who want it.

It's Kitty again, run~

Another exciting episode in the life of a cute and fluffy* Kitty.
