Mourning's End Part 1

I just couldn't face another basilisk first thing in the morning, so I decided to do a quest instead. I'd started 'Mourning's End Pt 1' at the time when I finished 'Roving Elves', so it was the obvious one to try next. Besides, it would finally demonstrate whether or not I can throw out those plague clothes that I've been holding since about March.
I've heard very bad things about this quest, though I'm suspecting that it was part 2 that's the problem. Audina had warned me that I'd have problems with the sheep painting (yes, you read that right) with the lag that I experience, so it was a great thing to do it on this fast computer. Yay!
As it was, I painted the sheep quite easily. Three out of four were on the first shot, though I did have to return to Lletya for dye and the Chompy Hunting Grounds for toads for the fourth. My advice for anyone yet to do this is to get spare dyes and toads. You can't pick the toads up and bring them with you unfortunately, you have to inflate them with dye over in the Chompy Grounds.
Despite its reputation, I found this to be an enjoyable quest. I already had the naphta, which I did during Roving Elves, so I didn't have the frustration of that to spoil it midway. The best thing was the hours of fun I had watching my character in full mourner's outfit, carrying the painting device and running around places. I particularly enjoyed running around places that had nothing to do with the quest, just for the surreal sight. :(
The rewards gave me level 60 thieving too. Woot!
