Grrr....JUST as I was about to come open up a TGIH03 thread, here is Nealyn beating me to the punch...

(fade in)
(Scene: The waterfall outside Thurgadin....we see Drexxell, Thunderhart, Xandamir and Talinoth sitting in a circle, obviously debating something of great importance...)
Drexxell: But we just DID an Item Hunt! Remember The Great Item Hunt of '02?
Thunderhart: But I *NEEEEEEEED* new stuff!
Talinoth: Besides Drex, that was 10 levels ago. Even I'm ready for new gear.
Xandamir: I'm always ready for new gear!
Drexxell: Yeah, but Xanda, the stuff you want can't be acquired til 55th level.
Xandamir: <pouting>
Thunderhart: So are we on for a new Item Hunt or what?
Drexxell: Well, I was hoping to gain more experience in hunting.
Talinoth: But what could yield more experience than hunting the world for rare and beautiful items, seeing the world of Norrath through the eyes of well traveled adventurers, meeting the fair folk of...
Drexxell: Ok, Shakespeare, waxing poetic isn't necessary.
Talinoth: Ok sorry, but seriously, what about a new Item Hunt?
Drexxell: Well, I was thinking, what if we didn't go for as many items all at once? Say, half now, and half in 5 more levels of experience?
All: <obviously impressed with Drexxell's intelligence on this point> Yes, that sounds perfect!
Thunderhart: So what shall we call this hunt?
Talinoth: How about "The revered and sacred worldly quest for the rarest of gems, sought bravely and wonderously by..."
Xandamir: How about "The Great Item Hunt, '03 (A)"?
Talinoth: That's good too.
Drexxell: So level 39 sees TGIH03A, and 44 sees TGIH03B?
All: <obviously impressed with Drexxell's intelligence on this point> Yes, that sounds perfect!
Thunderhart: It's decided then...let's consult the tomes of knowledge and see what items we'll seek.
<fade to black as Thunderhart opens a book upside down...>
