Keeping in the spirit of “extreeeemly” long posts
… hey @Kurtdawg13, this is what i got up to …
I took my Assassin "Kutz-U" through the rest of the mission to fight Bloodwing, but not before a little bit more farming and was joined by this bloke who also wanted to be a Ninja … a Loot Ninja that is …
Cheeky sod
No sooner had Tumbaa dropped it he comes waltzing along and steals it, but not for long …
Then i had this weird graphical glitch going on
not seen this before …
Anybody else had that one?
Other than Tumbaa’s drop, things weren’t going very well as can be seen in this little happy snap of Kutz-U in the LS/HotAM’s room showboating with his pile of loot … that’s a sweet health vile 
This is the impact of Kurtdawg and all of his farming
… Thanks ya fargin arse of a bloke 
Now that Kurtdawg had given me a Fistful of Hurt to the nether regions, i decided it was time to move on and get to Bloodwing and was granted a parting gift, well two in fact … i guess that’s when you stopped 
Yay … everything a melee Zero needs. It did have a blade i guess 
Pimon & Tumbaa showed up one more time and i guess i killed this stalker so hard he just got stuck …
Then it was off to rescue this guy’s exploding head …
Which gave me an exploding head
because i broke him again which seems to happen mainly to Z …
Bloodwing gets stuck there just flapping his wings and nothing but a save and quit resets him so this was my last attempt at “fixing” him with an Execute which i took to the very limit of time …
So i quit and did the whole mission again from the LS/HotAM’s room and this time he didn’t break, so of to meet Brick next and then maybe some side missions as well.
