Empty Dimension

While I was helping the good citizens of Bastok, I get this call from Krile about a call to arms fighting in another dimension. I jumped to the opportunity and decided to help. The plan was to get into the crags of Holla and Mea and kill some notorious monsters there.
An alliance of brave adventurers including Carthage from the Moogle Army gathered at the crag of Holla and we got into the dimension and fought our way in there till we got to the Spire. Only a couple of knockdowns in last floor but we were ok. We fought the boss and had a bit of trouble, he slept us a couple of times and our Whitemage Langdon got knocked out a couple of time but his perseverance and dedication got us the win. Next one was the Crag of Mea, all made it to the top floor with out much problems. We fought the boss but as he was nearly dead he started doing some nasty knock back attacks and messed the astral flow of the Summoner and he knock us down with no means on getting back up to fight and he was at 1% HP that's a bummer. Some other day I'll get back and fight that monstrosity again and show it who's the boss.

Green = Awesome

Roccoj has been trying for a while to get a color mutation for his chocobo. On his first try looked like it was going to be a blue chocobo but it turn yellow in the adulthood. He tried again and got a cool looking green chocobo. Congratulation Roccoj that's an awesome chocobo you got.
Then we pose to showoff in Rolandberry Fields and raced, but wasn't fair been that my chocobo was older and had better stats than his. Can't wait to keep raising other chocobos and see if I get another color, that would be nice.

Moogle Army Holiday Party!

Last night the great Redmage Jeangallo hosted a holiday party at the Kokba hostel in Ah Urgan. The party was a blast we had a lot of fireworks to use, food drinks and costumes but the best thing was that bunch of the members showed up to the party. People been silly, using fireworks and just having a great time makes Moogle Army the greatest Linkshell. You can see the kids gathering around Santa Cold telling him the things they want for the holidays. Reminds me off when I was a little Galka after my reincarnation. Happy Holidays everyone!

Lending a hand

Still questing and doing a lot of stuff our static is on hold because of the holidays but that doesn't mean I have nothing do. Continuing my run of treasure finding looking for keys and items for my friend I get a call from a long time friend of mine Sarm. He is a Darkknight now but back in the day when I was just starting on Thief he was a Warrior in Valkrum Dunes. He and his friend were so funny in the party that I had to become friends with them. He needed my treasure finding skills for a quest for his artifact armor, so we head out to Beadeaux and started the hunt.After a couple of hours of fun killing and getting aggroed we got what we were after. Keep ut the good work buddy hope to hear more of your adventures.

Congratulations x2

I would like to congratulate my friends Jedimasta for beating up Maat and Roccoj for withstanding Maats beating. Sorry Roccoj my friend I dont have a cool picture of you at the moment.

Fun

Just a fun pic while we were waiting for to do a mission together, guess it was a bit cold that day...

All by myself

Roccoj our static Whitemage has been very busy because of the holiday so our static is on hold at the moment. That doesn't mean I've done nothing, between harvesting, killing jellys and questing must do anything to keep me occupied. On my quest for Bastok fame I took a request from Marin to watch over her little brother while he does an exam in Dangruf Wadi. I said to myself "How hard can it be" and accepted.
Turns out this Ken guy is a brat, doesn't want any help at all, goes on a wild rampage killing everything insight and when I go sneaking up curing him behind his back and he see me everytime. Frustration level rising with each attempt over and over till !!! my galka brain suggest maybe if you clear the zone so there are no monsters he wont gets distracted from his mission you'll have better chances on finishing this.
I gather the mob in a single spot and do a Cyclone and the bodies start piling up and it helped a little, but as you expected monsters keep coming and messing with my mission I had to ask for help on this. Called a Samurai (you should know who by now) and made him clear the zone ahead of time. After a couple of hours I was able to watch Ken do his exam safely I talk to his sister to get my reward and after all the ordeal I get the wonderful reward of 1500gil. Huh!? I should have slap her right there but I did it mainly to get it over with and some fame, my advice stay clear of Marin and Ken.

Ho Ho Ho Santa Galka is here!

After all that adventuring and the Sukesada hunt I decided to join the festivities going on at my home nation Bastok. There I joined Sachiel, Nephelim and a few guys from our linkshellJedimasta, Abdirazak and Ryshin was around too. I got my holiday hat and started giving presents to the little kids and hanging around the fountain admiring the decorations when I hear all this people cheering near the town entrance. A huge treant in the city going to destroy our decorations... not if we can do something about it. Apparently the only way to stop it is cheering it a lot, so a lot of people there were like whooho, all right, yay tree. We managed to stop it, I talk to one of the persons in charge of the activities and for helping out I got a cool holiday robe. Santa Galka is born to bring joy to all this holidays! Have you been naughty or nice this year? I had a lot of fun and was nice to get a change of pace, especially if you have been knocked out a lot during your adventuring as of late.
In other news here is a revealing photo of Sachiel and Nephelim holding hands by the holiday tree, don't they look cute here awww.

The Sukesada Hunt

In the kingdom of San d'Oria, beneath the Chateau d'Oraguille lies the Bostaunieux prison. In ages past was a cruel way to dispose of criminals dropping them thru a trap door and leaving them to starve there but today is place infected by monsters and the undead. Legends and Bards tell about a great katana hidden deep withing the dreaded dungeon a katana only Samurais can touch, the Sukesada. Whitmage Kyssandra of the MoogleArmy have heard the stories and was very interested in helping Hiroishi try to get the katana.
Thief Cyaan, my friend Krile and I decided to join and gathered together at the Chateau lobby to then meet Blackmages Arcaus and Mercades who were already searching inside. All was well at first, but the place has a lot of traps and when members of the party fell thru one of those all hell broke loose. Monsters attacking left and right, members getting knockout over and over again, chaos reigned supreme.After regrouping we managed to get to the place on the map were the katana was believed to be when we got attack by a strong notorious monster, undead hound Shii. It knocked Hiroishi but we managed to scared it away and found the Sukesada but been an enchanted katana none of us could get it for him. Then Krile get the idea of casting tractor Hiroishi out of reach costing him the change of getting him his katana that night. Party had to go but we planed on going again in a couple of days. Monk Castador and Redmage Jeangallo were there this time but the Monk had to go. Soon enough Shii decided to show up and unleash hell on us as a way to repay the beating we gave it the other day. After all that Hiroishi decided to call off the hunt because it was giving more problems than benefits. Sukesada will stay in the dungeon waiting for other brave adventurers that dear to go in there looking for it. Sorry my friend hope on next hunt we can get you something nice with less problems than this one.

Mithra in distress

One day I was harvesting in Giddeus and my Paladin friend Sachiel calls me to Bastok to help his Whitemage friend Mizuinu. The mission to help her on being the emissary for Bastok and contact the other nations and to help on that we enlist the help of Ranger Hiroishi, Blackmage Krile, Darknight Daymian, Warrior Sachiel and me as a Warrior. We set out for San d'Oria first where we had to kill Warchief Valgit wich we did with no problems. Then we had to go to Windurst and the embassy told Mizuinu that there was trouble in Giddeus.
Turns out there was an ahriman and his pet dragon rampaging the area in the name of the shadowlord. The plan was to sleep the dragon and kill the ahriman first but the Darknight been the impatient one of the group starts charging for the dragon while Krile was casting sleep, Krile gets drawn in and gets knocked out instantly, I fight doing my best to protect everyone but got knocked out too. In the end we won the fight ending the 3 day mission and Mizuinu was awarded a new rank for services to Bastok.

Roccoj's test

Our static is growing stronger and stronger with each day of adventuring and the tales of our deeds have reached far and wide all Vana'diel. Especially as far as Jeuno where an old resident there spends most of his time at Ru'lude Gardens has summoned us for a very special challenge. He goes by the name of Maat, really old Hume that has done his fare share of adventuring and is very proficient in all the western continent jobs. He said to us: "I've been hearing a lot about you lately but I'll tell you this, you won't get any stronger unless you get me a testimony and duel me in the job you decide to face me with." Maat instantly saw Hiroishi and told him he was too weak at the moment to even try the challenge, Darkwarrior, Krile and me decided to do it after we get even stronger, but Roccoj was the one to go ahead and do it. The test is on the goblin bags of the alchemists in Gustav Tunnel. We requested help from our linkshell and four brave adventurers answered the call: Jeangallo, Arcaus, Bassetto and Itachikun. The alliance formed at the great crag of Holla we mounted our chocobos and went to Gustav.

We then proceed to the deeper part of the area until we found the goblins roaming and fought for hours and even fought the notorious Wyvernpoacher Drachlox but no testimony were found on their bags. The alliance broke and we thank our linkshell members for the help, at least we got a couple of Whitemage spells Roccoj needed. The next day we went back in, this time with Hiddendragon a Blumage helping us. Most of the time it went smoothly until Hiroishi decided to lure another goblin when others were on their way to campsite and we teleport out for safety. We went back and found the testimony soon enough. Now all that remains is the one on one duel with that old Hume and I just hope Roccoj can endure the test and shatter the stars as he says.

Krile's way

Krile can be a pain sometimes, but little Krile is a special tarutaru. Her mind is a one way street and when she sets her mind there is nothing we can do to convince her otherwise. "I forgot my sanction", "Need to check my chocobo", "Forgot some things at home" whooosssh warps to town making the other adventurers wait. I've told her is selfish on her part to do that, that the other adventurers are on a schedule and have others things to do but she won't listen to this galka. One thing cheers me and is watching Krile get knockout by goblin bombs, mean but fun to watch anyway.

Congratulations Jeangallo!

Congratulations to adventurer Jeangallo for defeating Maat uno a uno and prove that she is a great Redmage. You can see her in this photo looking sexy and silly with her goblin coif.

Meet Blondlady

I'm a busy galka, most of the time I'm looking for ways to make gil, adventuring with the static, doing quest for renown or helping my linkshell members, but I always find time for my chocobo Blondlady. Born from the union of my first chocobo Blizzardgale and Fatschwartez, adventurer Jeangallo's chocobo. When it hatched I wanted to give it a fitting name, was a female chocobo and yellow feathers the name suited it, but now its a red one I cant name it Redlady now. From the start I decided to train it for speed and endurance, giving it carrot paste, short walks, telling the care taker to give her walks when I'm not in town. When she grew up a little I started giving vomp carrots, longer walks a lot of exercising and delivering packages. When she became and adult chocobo more rigorous program delivering messages to far away nations plus plenty of competing against other chocobos. It is now strong enough to support my weight a big accomplishment cause of me been a galka with all that heavy armor and all. I'm really satisfied with the results: impressive strenght, above average endurance and red feathers too! Chocobo raising is something I encourage all adventurers to try, great for when your in the new areas and people gets kidnapped by the beastmen and you can't rent one, you can call your chocobo and don't have to run to the campsite like a certain Samurai I know.

Fellow Galkas Unite

While doing quests so I can get recognized as a helpful adventurer in San d'Oria and listening to the always entertaining chatting on my linkpearl I heard a linkshell member ask for help on getting a Crawlers Nest coffer key. His name is Bhaal and been a galka how can I refuse my kin some help. I decided to go as a Thief for its ability to find treasure and got Hiroishi and Krile to help and Bhaal hires a Ninja and some Whitemage. We go deep into the Crawlers Nest area and get to the place where the monsters that I don't know how, but seem to have swallowed a key or that it magically stored in one unlucky monster. The genocide begins as we took care of everything that moves in the area that in some cases the monsters stoped coming out of fear. One hour later we got the key and Bhaal looked for the coffer chest and found what he was looking for. We parted ways after we were done having fun, its always good to help a fellow adventurer from time to time.

Troubles at the bay

Our static has it great days and bad days and this one is a prime example of a fairly good day and party set up gone bad. Roccoj, Krile, Roninhiroishi and me decided to go to the western continent because we are getting low on conquest points and be a nice change of scenery after all the adventuring in the far east. We look at the adventures board looking for other members for the party and Krile invites two mithras one a Thief the other a Blackmage. We set out in rented chocobos to find a camp site in Bibiki Bay and Hiro he says "I'll be right back". He goes into some kind of trance he doesnt respond to anyone but his chocobo been the well trained bird that it is keeps following me. Got to the campsite, everyone dismounts and gets ready but not a word from Hiroishi. The mithra been Thief gets impatient, "whats happening with Hiro? we can do this without him". I say "go ahead and pull" and at first couple of monsters we are doing great, but Hiro's chocobo was still following me around and getting on my way of protecting the party that I changed my equipment and seems like the chocobo lost track of my scent and went on a mad dash toward a nearby cactus and got stuck there. Poor Hiroishi got attacked by a nearby goblin while we are fighting one of it brothers and decided to help him leading to the picture you see here. We disbanded the party but we went back later to the same campsite and had a fun short time party that went fairly good except for the little goblin bomb that went off on Krile face knocking her our instantly, always fun in my opinion.

Super Hyper Static Party

Vana'diel can be a tough place especially when it comes to finding fellow adventurers to form party's and get more proficient on your selected job. With this mentality in mind I decided to enlist the skills of some of my friends to reach the limits of our abilities in less time that it would putting a notice on the Merry Minstrel tavern or the Shararat tea house in Ah UrhganWhitegate. The elite adventuring unit consist of Roccoj: Whitemage extraordinaire, fellow Bastokan and Linkshell member. Roninhiroishi: masterless Samurai aka. TP machine friend of mine since I discovered him wandering the alleys of Bastok. Shows a lot of promise but gets distracted easily. Krile: cute tarutaru from the magical nation of Windurst so her magical abilities isn't in question, but she is the one filling our hearts with songs so we can do our jobs better. Darkwarrior: Dark Knight, raw power and strenght sometimes hurting himself to hurt the monsters. He couldn't be in this picture because he had other business at the moment. He became a friend of mine many moons ago when I helped him on some Windurst mission during the days of his training as a Warrior. And me: Paladin, the one that covers the others so they do their job better. Last spot can be filled with random adventurers that are willing to go hunting with us. Together we go on adventures everyday with our hopes of one day been the best doing our jobs and have fun doing it.

Chigoe Attack!

You can see the results of it from the picture. Allow me to recount the events that lead to this unfortunate picture. While waiting for a certain Samurai to return from the westernlands Roccoj, Krile and I decided to get the Aydeewa Subterrane map doing the quest in Nashmau and while we are doing that might as well get the Ilrusi Atoll staging point. For the most part all goes well we are talking to the right people and doing great cause its an easy quest to do... just a bit of chigoe aggro on the meeting spot in Aydeewa cause when you meet the little Qiquirn there you lose your sneak/invis enchantments. We go back to Nashmau and prepare to get the lamia fang key to open the iron gate in the Arrapago Reef, there is a tunnel just before where the spot for the key is and just out side of it are 3 chigoes and i didnt had sneak on. I got aggroed, Krile was a BLM 70 at the time and checks it and says "Oh its only a Tough one for me" and proceeds to cast her magic on it. Chigoes are like a monks so the thing is pounding and pounding Krile interrupting her casting and dies. I was Tief but didnt had any weapons on me and I'm punching it trying to get the last sliver of health down while Roccoj heals me....... I open my eyes and I'm back at the Ah Urhgan Whitegate moghouse.

It begins!

I finally decided to start my own blog. Hope you enjoy reading about the life of a galka on the world of Vana'diel. {All Right!}
