I just made L13 killing lizardmen and basilisks in Rathe Mountains.
Lizardmen are dark blue to yellow, and pretty easy. Basilisks are white to
red, and I can solo the easier ones and take any of them if I have a
partner. It's fabulous experience and mediocre loot (occasional bronze
weapon), and never crowded that I've seen. The only downside is there
aren't many skeletons to donate bone chips. I'm down to my last 10, but
have another 100 or so in the bank, and I'm also getting bogged down by
copper and silver coins.

So, I'm hoping to avoid the run to Freeport (though I can gate back, so
it's not that big a deal) As a height-challenged Bertoxx-worshipping
necromancer, I've been pleased that I am (barely) accepted in Akanon,
Freeport, and Neriak.

I'm KOS to the bouncers (but not the merchants) ouside the Ogre and Troll
cities, so I presume it would be dangerous to go in. Is it possible to
use a banker while invis? If not, is is possible the bankers will not KOS
me and the guards will be far enough that I could gather shadows, go in,
bank, gather shadows, and leave quietly? Has anyone done this?

If this is as bad an idea as it sounds, is there anything I should be
killing to increase faction in one of those towns? It would be very handy
to have a usable bank in the south part of Antonica.
