Proper preparation prevents piss-poor performance

Last Sunday, I dutched up and completed Monkey Madness. I'd put it off for a long time, holding back until I got 50 range for the jungle demon fight. I did get the range level thanks to the circus and had to wait on getting blue dhide and sharks. The dhide bought in an hour, but the sharks were in limbo for three. I didn't want to wait any longer, knowing I'd push it back again if I did, so I hopped into Merch's chat and asked if someone would sell me 60 cooked sharks. Vaskor offered and we met at CW. I thought 60 would be just enough since I thought I'd be getting punched frequently by gorillas and might die.

Amazingly, I only ate three. Two were consumed during the two tunnel runs and one when I got cornered by a scorpion behind the jail. The jungle demon went down like a wilted pansy thanks to protect from magic. When I teleported to the arena, I stood where I'd landed with my prayer turned on while the demon stayed four squares away.

Saturday, I went through Underground Pass twice (once for the quest and once for Regicide) with nary a hitch. I had too much food until I met up with Iban (kept stunning me until I put on protect from magic [which isn't suppose to work]) and only fell off the bridges once.

A trick I read about on the RSWiki for Roving Elves: when fighting a moss giant in Glarial's tomb, first kill a zombie until one drops a sling, then safe spot the moss giant. It totally worked! Took maybe five minutes to kill it with a sling, but so awesome to use a workaround like that.

I'm finished with serious combat training. Working to get enough cash for dragon armor to wear so I don't look like a noob (rune plate, Neit helm, d skirt, d boots).
