Ehhh, I enjoyed the torch farming last ladder. It only felt like work a 
couple times when Mickey was away and I was doing it by myself for a while.

That said though I *am* getting a little tired of fruitless MF runs, trying 
to equip my chars. As it stands I've left a few clone sit games but am 
unsure if my poorly-equiped pally could even take DC down. LOL. He probably 
could, but it would be a battle royal. He has a wand with LT charges on 
switch and my only 'uber' find of the ladder, an Astreon's, coupled with a 
Spirit Royal Shield. His armour's a bit sad, a Black Hades with (Ral Ort 
Thul?) runes for resistances.

I finally gave up waiting for an eth Thresher (or similar) for the merc with 
5/0 holes a couple days ago and dropped my Obedience runes into a non-eth 
Thresher. Far better than the rare thing he was using. Still, the extra 50% 
damage of an eth one would have been nice. <shrug>

I'm still finding it strange that I found two each of Occy, Szabi's Skin and 
Demon Limb in different games in a period of 36 hours, having found not one 
of either all ladder until now.

Take care. Perhaps I'll bump into Mickey in the funny pages. <g>
