Week of July 20: Back from L.A. I am glad to be away from that traffic. Vow, to not complain about Bay Area traffic for at least 2 weeks. ShadyGuy is waiting and wanting to do some Rajang runs. We manage 1 before the sleep deprivation overwhelms. Offline, since Mono is finished, I opt to get the Kirin title next. I have some Genprey armor fabricated and upgrade to the Hvy. armor sphere stage. So, grabbing my Dragonslayer sword, I head off to see the wizard, er town chief. What? No, Kirin. All dressed up and nowhere to go. Re-equip with and it is off to the snowy mountains to play with Khezu.

1,2,3,,,,,9 quest later, Kirin shows up. Now I remember why I really do not like it. I do not what to admit to how many herbs and potions I used (7 & 7) plus the meds and 3 megas. The most annoying part is when it runs past you, even though you are not next to it, it still hits. Toward the end of the battle, I refine my attack and smack him as it nears me. Perhaps next time I will use a hammer.

I am back to fighting the G cephadrome is search of coral fins to complete the sandman spke.
