MH - Escape Artist at Home


This is what the Escape Artist catch looks like on my old iBook G4,
it's like a horizontally flipped Monster Mouse icon.
At work, the Escape Artist looks different! I'll upload a screen shot tomorrow :)

This is what the same catch looks like on a new iMac :)

Turn Around, Bright Eyes

Back in school, some of us school mates spent a budget weekend in Kuala Lumpur. We had wondered into a night place which was holding a trivia night. They were giving away lots of free drinks and many people won lots answering the music-oriented questions.

But there was one question, which nobody in that crowded bar managed to answer, and there must have been over 100 people. The question was - who sang backup on Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart?" Many many attempts later, there was no correct answer.

Now, over a decade and a half later, my colleague said - Rory Dodd.

MH - Valour Region - King's Gauntlet Level 1

Gained access to a new region - Valour, between Gnawnia & Whisker Woods, with the King's Gauntlet Floorplan. My FIRST CATCH in the King's Gauntlet :) And the banner.

Note: The King's Gauntlet is like Furoma, you need stuff from one level to advance to the next. This is just the beginning...

MH - Crown Jewels

The first order of business in MH v3.0 on Thursday was to catch the Master Burglar with the Crown Jewels to gain access to The King's Gauntlet.

Problem, the Master Burglar is attracted to SB+ (which I had 1 of, after the crazy conversion to VS the week earlier) and Gilded Cheese. To get Gilded, you need Burglars who have it, not all of them do.

So I camped out first at the Town of Gnawnia, then in the Bazaar awaiting the elusive Burglar with the even more elusive Gilded Cheese. The 1st Burglar did drop 6 Gilded, which resulted in ZERO Master Burglars. Another day & a half later, a 2nd Burglar with 6 Brie. :(

Earlier today, my company intern, who also plays MH was suggesting that I just use what SB+ I had and try my luck. Good thing another colleague who officially quit MH had given me 18 SB+ just before Longtail's down time. So, with 19 SB+, every horn was met with baited breath.

Yippee!!!! Got a Master Burglar with the Crown Jewels on the 8th piece! PLUS, now the cartographer in the Harbor takes only 1 hour, later he will take 2 days to work out the King's Gauntlet Floorplans.

Kumxia, Dan! :)

One last look at my hunter's page & the 'All Mice' page before tomorrow's Longtail upgrade.
