grrr!

so. levelling is boooooring.

i decided to unlock NIN, for subbing to blu. why not, everyone else is doing it.

meet up with Warmaster and Yinchie, who are also doing the mish.
port bastok, cutscenes. check.
Korroloka tunnel, run to the ???, check.
3 korroloka leeches, check.
back to port bastok, check.
Norg.
oh shit, think i. never been that way.
Jeuno >> airship >> Kazham >> Yuhtunga Jungle >> Sea Serpent Grotto in stealth mode >> Norg.
easy!
NIN quest guy, check.
we decide to start the SAM quest too, why not.
sacred sprig, oriental steel, yadda yadda.
we tele: dem, and head to the cave. some of the LS come to help - a 65 blu, 59 pld and 63 sam.
first forger for warmaster dies in about 4 seconds. he gets his bomb steel.

wait and respawn mine. it dies faster, if that was possible.
and one of the other party misses, hits "cast lot" and outlots me for the steel.
shit. now i gots to head *back* to norg.

and the gutting thing is?
the guy that got it was the SAM...
