[ddo] Next 2 weeks

I dunno, call me chicken but even on hard we got cursed by those bloody
kobold shamans, –4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill
checks is kind of a death sentence for us. :)

I'd like to do the library/lighthouse on hard though. I reckon those people
could do with a good ass-whooping! And the quest can be done by Leigh on his
own while we rest in the library with a cigar and some brandy. :)

If we're doing the waterworks I might bring my cleric along (level 3 now)
for some healing powah if people think that's a good idea? Pheer my leet
healzorzing1!
