Family fun

With the new resource dungeons out and some of them available for F2P, I cajoled my husband into logging on with, "Get your noob ass on RuneScape. There's shit you need to do." Usually, I'd log on with him to show him since I'm crap with directions when not online. This time, he said he could do it by himself. :o Noob is getting above of his station!

I told him where to go for the first 3 dungeons, advising him to take food in case something happened and he couldn't run away fast enough. Edgeville was quite fun since he learned about the brass key and they lonely building west of the cooking guild.

Karamja was another kettle of fish. He got distracted on the way, determined to make the ship fare by killing goblins near Port Sarim, not because he has no money, but that he was close to leveling up attack, strength* and defense. Once he'd "gathered" enough gold (and runes, bronze arrows and bronze bolts), he paid Seaman Lorris (hee hee, "seaman") and sailed to Karamja. As he tried to get onto the gangplank, he picked up 500 gold pieces laying about on the return ship. Carrying around this kind of money concerned him. I reminded him to just run if he got attacked.

Anyway, he found the hole on the volcano and dropped down into the waiting arms of a skeleton, who wanted to kill him. When he ran far enough away to get the skeleton to shove off, a deadly red spider pounced. When he got away from the arachnids, he found himself in the midst of hungry lesser demons that, unsurprisingly, wanted to use him as elevenses. He staggered into the hidden dungeon with some relief. The lessers in there were some distance away, giving the impression of safety, or just long enough to use the ring of kinship teleport. 

The demons ...well, had other ideas.

By the time he'd escaped the walking deaths and scarpered up the rope, he was sitting at half health and shooting me dirty looks.

*He never did get that strength level. He spent the next two hours chipping away at one coal rock in the dwarf mine resource dungeon (the one with silver, coal and mithril).
