Vette goes to Avery Island near the Louisiana Coast

Here are some photos from my trip today to Avery Island, site of the Tabasco pepper sauce factory. The island sits atop a salt dome and features a botanical garden created by the McIlhennys, the family who owns the island and the Tabasco company. There's a pagoda with an ancient Buddha statue from China, a gift from a friend of the original Mr. McIlhenny. There's also a rookery, built in the marsh to help the snowy egrets come back from near-extinction.

My lover and I have been to the island numerous times, and have encountered alligators and nutria rats about two feet long . Nothing is done to keep visitors and wildlife apart, except for signs that tell you alligators are dangerous. It is forbidden to slay either of these monsters on the island. Just as well! I asked, and was told they don't drop any Guild Wars gold when you kill them.

 Here is a link to information about Avery island.

Why I am this way...

I was born with wisps of blond hair and a mild countenance.  Then I was stung on my second day of life by a large black South Texas scorpion. My first memories are all hallucinations. .... a Mexican nurse, ...a burst of cold shimmering light, ....a voice that said, "Not yet, there is blood that needs be shed by you!"
By the time the fever broke my hair was red, and has been ever since. My childhood toys were some cactus buds I loved to eat, and a bayonet I found in my father's garage. I kept it sharp, much to the regret of the coyote that tried to eat my baby pig. By the time I was 5 my pig "Pyewackett", (a javelina ) could kill a coyote without my help!

I have ever walked my own path, how could it be some other way?...

My Guild Wars pals

At long last I have people I can converse with about Guild Wars!
 
My wife has started playing in order to share in my fun. She has been playing as Zipphorah Chai, an elementalist, and as Devorah Strongwill, a ranger/necro. She took Zipphorah into post-searing at my urging, but has not liked the charrblasted landscape. So she created Devorah to run around in pre-searing. I was SHOCKED to see her raise a bone horror! She hadn't warned me she'd chosen necromancer as her second profession. Anyway, we are gonna kick some charrbutt when she gains a couple more levels, with her combo of pet lion "Latrice" and a couple of bone horrors. Maybe I'll take Putricia on some missions over the wall, and we'll have a whole horde of pets and little nasties to attack the charr invaders and drive them from our land!
 
My other pals are coworkers, a department head called, "Soulreaver Davin" and a frontline worker named, "Acic Blade".
We've tried a number of times to get online together, but it hasn't worked out so far 'cause our schedules make this difficult.
Once, Acic Blade and I got together, only to have the power at his house go down just as we started into the catacombs. I'm hoping to hook up again some day, maybe I'll have a weapon or two that he can use...On the other hand, Davin is way the hell past me in GW experience, so maybe he'll have an item or two for me...

I have encountered a magnificently muscular artist, who conjured my likeness by the alchemy of his paints and the sorcery of his brush. He said my presence inspired him!

So much has happened...9-6-05

As of today I'm a level 19 and a half Ranger/Warrior. I've joined my third guild, hoping to find one that is mostly adventurers instead of player vs player. So far there's been "Vettes Lovers" (nobody joined my guild), Shard of Narsil, and Wayward Slaves. My current gang is called "Knights from Heaven". There I met Doctor Beer, who lives in Israel. He has a webpage called "U2Israel" which is all about U2 and is written in Hebrew. His English is pretty good too. Maybe he will go adventuring with me, even if the others go the way of all the other PvP guilds I've encountered...

Wayward Slaves

Last night I was accepted into a guild called the Wayward Slaves! I shall endeavor to conduct myself as befits this guild who are ruled by nobody but themselves...There is a link to our webpage over on the right...And now we have a guildhall! There are pictures of me (in the Aug 5 album) where our sailing vessel is moored behind the hall on a moonlit night...

My progress so far...

Wow! I've made it as far as Druid's Overlook. It makes a difference when you join up with other adventurers instead of going it alone...Still don't have a guild, but don't really need one...
17 July

Does anybody have an adventurer's guild for me?

I joined a guild, Shard of Narsil, that turned out to be for Player versus Player activities, not adventuring. I don't get into PvP, so I left that guild.
I would entertain an invitation to a guild of adventurers though...

Charr hides

I gathered 4 Charr hides to trade to a collector named "Calissa Sedgewick", cause I needed 2 fur squares to craft some leg armor. It took me several forays and the slaying of about 50 Charr to gather 4 hides, but the wench only gave me 1 fur square in exchange for these!

If I didn't need her furs it would be HER hide that gets harvested!

Bone Horror

As Treena, I like to use the corpse of an enemy to animate a bone horror, which will turn and  attack my other enemies.

I can also use my vampiric gaze to suck the life out of those who get in my way...

14 May

...and yet another me: Padmasambhava

Padmasambhava is my Monk/Warrior persona whose mission is to heal and protect. The name is from the monk who first brought Buddhism to Tibet.

Another Me: Sorceresss Treeena

Treeena is a necromancer/monk. As such, she is able to steal the life energy of an enemy with her vampiric gaze and add it to her own, or heal a friend with her monk's discipline, or even resurrect a fallen comrade.

This combination of healing prayers, death magic and blood magic makes her a disturbing yet powerful ally.

You can see pictures of her, including my only photo of her darkskinned first incarnation, in the May 14th album above....

Minimum Computer Specs to play Guild Wars

Your computer will need to have at least the following to play:

Windows XP/2000/ME/98

Intel Pentium III or equivalent.

256 MB RAM.

CD-ROM drive.

2 Gigabytes hard drive available space to load the game.

ATI Radeon 8500 or GeForce3 or 4MX series video card with 32 Megabytes RAM onboard.

internet connection, faster is better.

These are the minimum requirements just to play at all. With the minimum hardware components, your graphics will likely be blocky and movement through the will be game slow or jerky. It is best to have something more than minimum...

 

Having a more powerful video (graphics) card, a faster CPU, more RAM memory will enhance play, especially the better graphics card and increased RAM.

Help me name my pet

I have been adopted by a stalker, a fierce hill cat that frequents the grove of the statue of Melandru, goddess of rangers.

You can see her in the gallery from May 05....

She has already saved my life several times over! What shall I name her?

Dirty dancing

When I come back to Ascalon after a hard day of killing grawls, raging corpses and deadly cave spyders, I like nothing better than to down a pint of mead and dance in my undies with some strangers in the street.

Messages from my keyboardist...(I'm not so sure there really is such a being)...say that there is something even better than dirty dancing, called sex. He says the software company didn't program a routine for sex in the game. That's what he says, but what are these things, "software", "routine", and "game"?  What is sex?...and what does any of it have to do with being a ranger clearing the hills and forests of vermin?

I only know I get a warm pleasant feeling in my nether regions when I dance unclothed. I like it, I'm going to keep doing it, and I'm sure nothing could be better, not even "sex"!

Privacy online

Is it a violation of confidentiality to make a screenprint with another player in it,  without their knowledge? Readers, what do you think?

Some people are so crass...

I told some co-workers about my other life as Vette Lustipants, and they got it all wrong. One of them started calling me "Vette Lustyhips"! Have you ever been subjected to such an indignity? They don't seem to appreciate my dynamic personality, my lust for life and my prowess with axe and bow...

Greetings!

I am Vette Lustipants, a sexy and rugged adventurer who wandered the trails and caverns of Neverwinter Nights in latter years. Now I dwell among the denizens of Guild Wars!

Today, 4-23-05, I am a level 7 ranger. Soon enough I will have reached level 20 and my skills with the bow will be legend...Five days hence you will be able to go where I go, either as friend or as late lamented foe!!
