Xir'ain's eels are weak? Not when the ground beneath your feel crumbles away and you fall into a bottomless abyss of black water that's filled with thousands of hungry mouths all craving a taste of you. They're supposed to be like piranhas, ripping apart anything that falls into the water of Xir'ain's dungeon. I like to think of them as janitors but with more teeth. Edit: And oh yeah, all my disappearances are mostly me dealing with ongoing internet troubles. I can think of a few choice places where Comcast can shove their modem.
