Oh man, i've been meeting a whole heap of "similar" traps running Nilly 
lately ( sc variety though... i'm still too chicken shit to try anything 
resembling a _serious_ attempt at HC). Might enchanted snakes, usually with 
a fana boss somewhere nearby. And with a extra fast Nilly running around, it 
pretty well sucks....
Also in Trav... Fana, FE boss, with a conviction thrown in... Me thinks bnet 
are trying to hurt me sometimess :D
At least i can recover... you guys running the HC gauntlet have my upmost 
respect.... or pity lol!

BTW, anyone else noticing increased lag rates on USWEST lately? or is it 
just me from down under?

Regards
Jay
