I crafted this map early on, and decided not to run it right away because the "Of Venom" scared me.  I should have been more afraid of the "Fleet".  More on that later.  I spawned some Beyond monsters early, which was probably OK because I'm pretty sure that one of those dropped one of the three maps I got this run.  It's always nice when one of those drops early.  It's even nicer when they keep dropping.  I feel like this run makes up for the lackluster loot on the quality Dunes map I ran previously.

The one embarasing thing about this run is that I had swapped my Flame Totem gem to my weapon for running on of the Forsaken Masters missions.  I'm only doing 2/3 of my maximum damage output when I do that, and I didn't notice until halfway through the map.  I did however drop some punishing Bear Traps on my foes.  I also passed up on the Armormaster's mission during this run.  His maps just scare me with the unkillable totems.

I took my Amathest flask with me, and I should have taken a Topaz flask with me for the map boss.  A group of Beyond monsters spawned in the final arena, and thankfully, I ran fast enough to leave the map boss behind.  After I killed off the Beyond monsters, I checked the number of monsters remaiing, and there was one left.  I figured my totems had killed the map boss while I was concentrating on the Beyond monsters, but no, the map boss was still alive.  Fortunately I reacted quickly when I saw he was the final monster on the map, because he could have easily killed me if I he had caught me napping.  I am going to keep running level 66 maps until I ding level 73, but then I think I'll move up to the level 67 maps.  I've never run one of those before, so it will be exciting.
