After last week’s start, it was time to continue our hunt for the Qeynos Claymore. This time, we had a full house, with Leader, Ashborn, Wodi, Florance, Note and Nobbi all on.
We started by playing catch-up on Burglars Afoot to all of us to get to the same point where we had gathered loot from the three corpses around the Tangle. Then, it was on to answer the questions in the card puzzle (I have to hold my hand up here and admit I cheated with spoilers…), and to make our way to the plank on the Breeding Grounds island.
It was an impressively-treacherous plank, to be sure, and to add insult to injury when I was right at the end inspect the note, Drippy appeared and knocked me right off the island with his ‘nasty knockback spell.’ Thankfully, I had enough time to scoot back to the island before the fifteen minute timer expired, and managed to spawn him again, kill him (staying safely island-ward of him this time…) and bing the quest update.
We then all headed over the valley to the chest to complete the quest. Job done.
There then followed what seemed like an inordinate amount of time with us all speaking in Druzaic to warn Wodi that he didn’t know the language… but he didn’t pick up on it so we entered in to the Sanctum of the Scaleborn to get the next part of the quest (which, of course, required him to speak the lingo…). The rest of the session was then all about the scrolls, with plenty of disorganised fighting and grabbing as you’d expect with the SDS; and – to be fair – the odd amount of good work and co-operation (again, as you’d expect). We ended the night with two or three of us scrolled-up, and the others needing them all…
…roll on next Monday!
