Thunderhead Keep

On Sun. morning, 1/29/6, I finally beat Thunderhead Keep, after a lot of tries!!!
The difficult part was trying to defend the King in the fort, using only henchmen, because I couldn't split them up, and they followed ME everywhere I went!
So I had to use the strategy of making a stand on the platform right in front of the King, and waiting for each attacking wave to come to me and the henchmen! We had to make our kills fast, so we could regroup, and heal, and prepare for the next wave! I used the elite skill, "Marksman's Wager", to make a lot of fast shots, and keep my energy level up.
I managed to complete the bonus, also! This was a long mission, with a lot of kills to make!!!

Guild Wars Factions Event

Guild Wars provided a chance for players to try out a trial version of ther new "Factions" update, during Jan. 20 to Jan. 22, 2006.
I decided to use my last character slot to create a new PVP only character, who I named "David Danger". He is a Ranger/Ritualist, and I added two Ritualist skills to his skill list. After the trial period was over, I lost the Ritualist skills, because they were locked out. However, my on-screen name still showed me as a Ranger /Ritualist, and people wondered how I could still be a Ritualist!!!
I enjoyed using the training isles to learn some new tricks, and I also made it to the Battle Isles!
There will also be another free trial of the new "Factions" upgrade in the near future!
