ok, gontcha recently asked me to do fight caves with him, but i was busy earning that fancy pink rank, so i declined, then this morning at like 2 am my time, he asks if i have any prayer gear he can "borrow," and i obliged with a god cloak, stole, and bandos boots. then i, without my good equipment i just traded to gontcha, decided to tag along and give it a half ***'ed effort.
here was my equipment and stats going into the fight:

inventory:
dragon halberd
tuna potato x4
prayer potion (4) x 12
saradomin brew (4) x5
super restore (4) x5
despite having almost no skill at fight caves, my first attempt landed me at tztok jad about a half hour after gontcha died. after getting 3 healers interested in me, i got shot and died. not bad for a first timer eh?
now, my goal is as follows: complete the fight cave and ontain a fire cape before 20th February 2008, my 2 year aniversary of runescape. i only used up 800 steel arrows getting through it, and i predict with the accumulator, about 1k mithril arrows would be sufficient to complete the event. 1.5k for safety. my second improvement will be bandos boots over dragon boots. for slightly better prayer. lastly, i'll be working on getting 80 ranged throughout the month to help better my odds.
EAT MY SHORTS, KARIL'S REPEATING CROSSBOW AND ELVEN CRYSTAL LONGBOW!
I'll post a picture of my stats and equipment for the next trip sometime next weekend.
PS: GLUUME, I GET TO LAUGH AT YOU NOW FOR BEING SUCH A SLAYER NOOB

i told you if i got fire cape before you you'd be dissowned... better get cracking
