Anger and disbelief had just set in. I'd worn out the Pyre Caverns and significantly depleted all my resources. Why does it always seem like I am the chosen unlucky one. The decision had already been made that I'm packing my own lunch next week to transfer funds from my lunch budget to my gem budget. And then...
...on adventure #27, my second egg dropped, the Ultramarine. I can now work the egg quest line and give my Pyre Caverns a rest, building up some resources for my search for egg #3.
Hang in there everyone.
