The chocoboraiser retires

After long seasons of raising chocobos I finally finished raising my last breed Jadelady. Another female chocobo with green feathers born and raised in the great nation of Windurst. Maybe thats why she has that color to blend with the environment. I gotta say I didn't visit Jadelady as much as I did on my previous ones, which is a shame, she must have been very lonely all those days I didn't showed up. But still managed to grow up into an outstanding chocobo, smoking the competition with her great speed. I don't know if I will raise another, for know I accomplished what I set myself to do a long time ago, to get all different kinds of chocobos there are for now.

Windurst missions the Moogle Army way

When it comes to do missions for the great nation of Windurst you don't expect them to be boring doing them with the Moogle Army. From killing slimes in the Toraimarai Canal that love to bathe you with their oozing substance to get access to some room. Or going to the temple of Uggalepih to kill tomberrys for keys and get hit for 65oo for an everyone's rancor and getting my tail burned from meltdowns from the weird doll robot looking monsters. To top it all we went to Davoi to defeat the orc Dirtyhand, he calls the old church in Davoi home, for a lot of fighting, knockdowns a magic wand for a future mission. Had a ton of fun, the highlight of the night coming from Quickswipe trying to escape from Dirtyhanded after we all wiped, running for her life getting to the elevator close by only to get knocked out by a stone IV on the way down.

MoogleArmy fights the mammets!

MoogleArmy gathered together for a night of Promathia missions. This mission: Riverne - Site #A01. A full alliance assembled to do this mission fighting three mammets at the same time. One party of 3 Ninjas and 3 Whitemages won the battle. The party I was in almost won, we were Paladin, Whitemage, Dark knight, Samurai, Monk and Redmage. We lost because our Whitemage got knocked out. The third party after a couple of tries was victorious. I felt so sad because my party lost the fight, I hope I can help them win and redeem myself.

Challenging Eald'narche

On a sunny summer day MoogleArmy adventurers were bored. Noticing they had nothing to do at the moment they decided to do a task for the great nation of Windrust. Kyssandra, Quickswipe, Mercades, Godofangels and yours truly were sent to represent our nation on a friendly fight with the yagudos in Giddeus. The fight wasn't a problem for the adventuring group and manage to beat the yagudos. We were rewarded with gil and new rank.

After that Kyssandra decided to gather another group and challenge Eald'narche and teach him a lesson. Jedimasta, Roninhiroishi, Xenojin joined the party to beat the little brat.
After one try at it we understood this fight was no walk in the park. He is protected by little annoying orbs and a shield that must be destroyed for us to hurt him, plus he loves to cast ancient magic. We lost, but were joined by Flotsam as a BlackMage to try to control the orbs and put a stop to his casting. It pains me to say this but a Paladin with Warrior abilities isn't very useful against his ancient magic. That and his nasty area attack with his shieldplates decimated me and my party every time. We tried and tried but it was no good, I had to do something about it. I went back with Ninja abilities and at first we kinda did worst, but the second time we managed to take out the shield and when he saw that he went on a rage, teleporting left and right, binding, stunning and casting like crazy... we almost beat him. Our party exhausted from all those fights decided to try it another day...

Into the sewers

MoogleArmy has been busy with Promathia missions lately and we went deep into the Phominua Aqueducts to get rid of the minotaur menace. I found the beast and it lured the whole alliance to the location. A lot of members got knocked down because even thought I had its attention all the time, the monster was trashing about with it claws, hitting the mages who were close by. When we regrouped and got everyone up, someone was left behind near where the monster appears and we had to fight it a second time. We did better that time with only one knockdown.We went on to finish our mission and when we were near the room with a party of fomors stalking the place, Krile thought it was a good idea to get close to them without sneak. Seems pretty obvious what happened next, party wiped with only Quickswipe surviving to tell the tale. Half the alliance had to go, but the others stayed and completed the mission. Apart from the Krile blunder I had a great time as always.

Garrison

The nation of Bastok needed adventurers to protect their outpost from a legion of goblins. MoogleArmy rose up to the challenge.Defending the mariners from the goblin assault was a hectic experience but we managed to protect the outpost and got rewarded for our efforts. We had a ton of fun and I hope we do it again.

The magic of moving pictures

After the incredible and scary alchemy accident I was ordered some rest. Still stranded in Aht Urgan without the possibility to return to the mainland, to Jeuno or to my nation of Windurst, there wasn't much to do. I walked all around the area and saw something that got my attention, the crazy people of Aht Urgan with their experimental mindset came up with a way to capture movement and display it for the peoples enjoyment. It didn't took too long to come up with plays to capture and then show off in the new A.U. moving picture theater. In my free time I've seen such hits as.

Naja's 13, about some mercenaries planing to steal from the treasury of someone who betrayed a mercenary friend.
Changeformers, about and ongoing battle between cardians and puppets, pretty bizarre because they could change forms into ordinary things to remain hidden from normal people.
Raronroie, about a Qiqirn that wanted to become a cook because he heard from someone that everyone can cook.
Shantoto and the order of the chocobo, about a Black Mage going to a magic school and getting harassed by and evil overlord that wants to take over the world.
Sickos, about how bad the health care is at Bastok and how much great is in other nations like Windurst.

I got to say I enjoyed them very much, but I better get back to work or else Naja Salajeem my mercenary boss will hit me with her huge mace.

Lost memories

I apologize for the lack of updates but I have a good excuse of it, I had an accident while I was working with alchemist materials for my promotion for Lance Corporal rank. As an alchemist was not a problem for me when it comes to mixing and getting results, but there was this elvaan trying to do the same with the unstable materials and the wrong mixing of those caused a highly dangerous chemical explosion. The force knoced me back and I hit the back of my head knocking me unconscious. When I woke up I couldn't remember a thing of what I have been doing for the past days. The Aht Urgan medical team did a great job with their weird hypnosis method they performed on me to recover my memories, it worked.

I remembered how Aricelia, Bermont, Jeangallo and Roninhiroishi helped Krile defeat Jazarzat for a mission.
We traveled to Nashmau and the boat was attacked by a huge sea monster. Some adventurers killed it though and made fish kabobs out of it. When we got to Nashmau and our orders were to investigate the rumors of a pirate ship in the Arrapago Reef but we didn't had the chance to do so, monsters attacked us.. *coughjeancough* along the way and knocking us out ending the mission.
More and more memories flowed through my mind. One with Jean, Krile, Bermont and Flotsam on a panty raid in Sacrarium. Killing fomors for subligars for a quest to get some nice equipment, but any of the subligars we wanted dropped. Only the Dark Knight one dropped and like 3 of them, too bad Aricelia wasn't with us.
I remembered the massive gathering to help Houzukimaru with his Gallant Surcoat fight in Davoi and Larien's White Mage fight in Fei'Yin both a great success.
And last but not least, how Hiroishi and I helped Reza and Krile get their moldavite earrings fighting the notorious monster in the Labyrinth of Onzozo. After all that I remembered to beat up the incompetent elvaan for all the trouble he caused me, but after I saw he haven't recovered from the accident and had scars all over his elvaan face I felt bad for him. I was promoted to Lance Corporal because I did my job even though and alchemist lab exploded which made me happy.
