I've been so busy adventuring lately, I'd forgotten to post my adventures!
But, first off, for any new archers....I've written an archery guide to help get you started.
http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=243942 It is a good place to start if you are considering learning the ancient art of the bendy branch.

After fighting Cazic Thule, I had traveled to the Everfrost Peaks to hunt frost giants for an old debt I have. I won't go into details, but let's just say I owe a certain human a heck of a lot of frost giant toes (I think he uses them in his drinks or something?).

Turns out though, most frost giants are known to chop off their own toes and sell them on the black market for about 10-30pp!!!! So usually they will have a lot of money, but no toes!
As I was hunting....my keen highly trained elvish ranger senses started to tell me something was off.....I just couldn't quite put my finger on what....

As I was looking around trying to figure out what was wrong.... I saw adventurers running past me and into the Permafrost Keep! It was odd, I'd hunted here off and on for a while and never seen so many adventurers going to visit the goblins in the keep....something was happening! And I had to find out what!!

When I got inside, I found a group of adventurers assembling and slowly pushing their way deeper into the keep.....they were from all sorts of different guilds, it was a little strange.

I went down to them and helped them fight off a few frost giants (since I was so practiced in the art of frost giant killing)....and as we began to talk, I learnt they were going to challenge the great Lady Vox herself!!!! The sleeping ice dragon!!

Obviously I couldn't let them face a dragon without arrows protecting them! So, I volunteered to help them in their battle!
It didn't take long after that to push our way past the few last ice giants and overgrown spiders.....and soon, I found myself charging into the great hall of Lady Vox!

The problem was I couldn't see her.... how could an entire dragon be hiding?! Maybe she knew we were coming already! And was invisible! Waiting to ambush us!!!
Before I could consider the other ingenious dragon strategies that were surely waiting for us....I saw an enormous silhouette emerging from the haze of the great hall.....
It was her!!! The fight had begun!!
I quickly ducked behind a nearby ice block to shoot arrows from. Hoping it would protect me from her icy blasts and dragons roar!

The fight waged for a while! Some adventurers finding themselves so scared they ran into pits! Others being chewed by Lady Vox....or being ambushed by ice giants that were still left.....
I couldn't lose track of my mission though! I focused my fire on the dragon....arrow after arrow....I could feel my quiver getting lighter every shot.
In the end though, we defeated her! Another dragon learning they are no match for the power of arrows!

As we celebrated the victory and tried to rescue people from the pits....I began to look around.....
Then...to my horror....I realized the block I had hidden behind.....it wasn't just an ice block at all!

Dragons can be scary creatures!!! I could have easily ended up the same way!!
I wondered though.....maybe the human I owed ice giant toes to would take a few off my debt for an ice barbarian? -thinks-
