Week In LOTRO

 

Celebathien

  • Went scouting for Rohan housing on Khelevorn. Glad I did since the meadows area requires a three mile ride uphill both ways through the snow surrounded by Rohan enemies (wargs and half-orc horsemen).
  • The Rejects ran around in the Great Barrows for fun. Managed not to die at all, not even once. We seem to be a balanced group for a bunch of misfits.
  • Went adventuring on Arkenstone for the Academy. Ran some skirmishes. Did not, apparently, skirmish responsibly. Oops. Also ended the run with a trip to the kinhouse and some drinks – from the Sinister Keg.

 

Gwaerendes

  • The joys of being a new homeowner (wow, Hytbold is actually busy!)
  • Lots of questing: Wells of Langflood, Reclamation, and goblin-smacking
  • Operation Barrows has been fun (Great Barrows and Brie)

 

Aerindys

  • Bought a new house in Rohan after running around both neighborhoods and fangirling over everything.
  • Created new outfits for some of the alts I play most often (shoutout to all of the LOTRO cosmetic blogs out there).
  • Leveled up a loremaster to play with the rejects group, since my Beorning is technically not rule-appropriate. 🙂

 

Sanswinda

  • Purchased Rohan housing and started rebuilding Hytbold in earnest.
  • Ran through the barrows for barrow brie on two alts.
  • Finished all the Snowbourn quests for the first time.

 

Teriadwyn

  • Led the Rejects group through the first two parts of the Great Barrow
  • Other Champion went on a crafting binge and made LOTS of the new pipe-weeds.
  • Joined the field trip at the end for the Gondamon skirmish, and then drank from a certain keg.

 

Pineleaf

  • My Anor warden headed into Western Rohan defiance of our exile.
  • During the field trip, our low-level group ran the first two skirmishes: Trouble in Tuckborough and Siege of Gondamon.
  • For Friday Night Fights, the upper-level group (levels from 105-130) ran three level-110 skirmish raids: Battle in the Deep-Way (T1), the Icy Crevasse (T3), Trouble in Tuckborough (T3).
