SDS 30th June 2008 - Qeynos Claymore III
July 1st, 2008Back to the Sanctum of the Scaleborn this week to carry on our hunt for the Qeynos Claymore.
After a while waiting for people to join, it settled down to five of us this week: Leader, Note, Ash, Florance and Nobbi. When we all turned up we grouped back at the entrance and made our way up the stairs.
This week, we were far more organised collecting the scrolls for those of us that still needed them, with Note helpfully knocking the idols off the ledge in order and us taking a more disciplined approach to clearing the mobs out of the way while people collecting the rewards. Good stuff, and very usual for the Squad: the second visit to a quest or a dungeon results in the same amount of work being done in (at least) half the time.
It was then back to talk to The Shade of Bylze to talk to him for a little longer about what he was doing there, and then off to retrieve various armour pieces from the silent sentinels.
This was soon done, with plenty of mobs in the room that spawned quickly, and so it was back to the Shade to finish off this part of the quest and on to find the Apparition Chest. This led us out of the main chamber into one of the side-halls, where the mobs were a lot tougher and so it was time for Leader to unmentor and show his worth a little more.
While examining the chest, Flo noticed another quest triggered by examing the floor, and this led us on an easy side-jaunt for some XP and, importantly for Leader, some really nice level-specific gear.
Then it was off to the Ready Room to kill Awakened Spiritualists, but despite heroic fights on the way in, we eventually got wiped due to an accidental multiple-pull by Leader, and by that time a few people had to head off for the night. Despite this, we were all really pleased with the progress we’d made, although we were noticing that it was getting tough for the lower-level members of the group, so next week it’s back to learning how to speak dragon…
