So, after all the planning, all the leveling up, all the nickel grinding, we finally got to do our first Hamster Raid in KoL. It was… not what I expected.

First of all, I had a takedown before it, and I was scrambling the whole time to hurry up and get home and I managed to make myself so nervous and worried about it at work… I’m retarded like that. It carried over into the raid itself, where I was pretty nervous and on-edge the entire time. Of course, that made me be careful, and I didn’t waste a single turn. Still, it was much more stressful than I believed it would be.

Secondly, it took a lot longer. I figured parts of it would be tedious. The whole thing is all about doing repeated actions in unison time and again, and it didn’t sound like the most fun thing ever. But I only expected it to maybe take an hour. We started around 11, and I didn’t get to bed until around 2 AM. Hopefully future runs, now that we all know what we’re doing, will go a little faster.

All in all, I did a lot of work, knocked a lot of hobos out of their skin, and I got, well… nothing, in return. I didn’t win any of the rolls. Not that that was important to me. I was just, you know, doing it to be part of the group. And be helpful. Things. Stuff! Yes.

Anyway, I guess that’s one raid down, and what… 6 left to go? 5? Until we all get a Hamster? Hopefully they keep going well, and faster.
