Land Of The Goblins

Whilst I'd been chopping down yew trees for days, a few weeks ago, people had been doing the 'Land of the Goblins'. I knew it had a good storyline, shocking ending and that it involved much running around. I'd totally forgotten that I hadn't got round to doing it, until I was looking at my 'quests to do' list earlier. I figured that while I was looking up the link for the guide, to add to that list, I might as well do the quest.
I'm luckier than most people I know who've done it, insofar as I had Simple's excellent guide to read before I went. I can imagine how annoying all the running about would have been, if I hadn't already got most of the stuff in my bag. I still had a fair bit of zapping all over Runescape to do, which was unavoidable in the context, but it wasn't too onorous.
I did waste a bit of time pwning goblins outside the temple for a Goblin Book, before I thought to check the bookcase in my house. Yes, it was there, entitled 'The Book of the Big High War God' or something like that. I also wasted two sips of goblin potion, so had to go and make some more. I'd noted the bit about not wielding something that goblins couldn't wield, so thought I was being really clever taking my ancient mace. I transformed for the first time, took two steps and wielded it. Oops. The second time was when I wasn't paying attention to the bit about not fighting. I came out to pwn goblins to get the Goblin Book, ahead of my test, and whoosh, I was Merch Gwyar again.
I enjoyed doing a quest again. The only really hairy moment came at the end, as I pwned five beings without equipment or magic. It was also without prayer, until it was pointed out to me, at the last fight, that this was perfectly permissable. LOL
I'm looking forward to the inevitable next installment of this one.
