[Group][Efthalia]: Could be both
[Group][Aconite]: Wouldn’t that be a Musty Shepherd’s [Musty Sandal]?
[Group][Efthalia]: Or a Musty Shepherd’s [Musty Shepherd’s Sandal]
[Group][Efthalia]: Now come on, dude, we’ll miss the boat
They nipped over to the Temple of Serpentis and picked up a quest from a priestess who informed them that the once mighty empire of the medusas was being courted by both sides in the ongoing conflict between the high and dark elves, and that they were to go immediately to support the side of their choosing.
At the docks, they found two contrastingly dressed elves with question marks above their heads. The high elf looked a bit like Ialdir, with long golden braids and a haughty expression. His boat was a silver swan rising delicately out of the water. The dark elvish envoy was a cleavagey pirate, her ship covered with an implausible number of spikes.
Needless to say, they went with her.
As soon as Drew had clicked through the dialogue, a loading screen popped up showing two angry-looking elves glaring at one another, and a dodgy medusa being mysterious and shadowy in the middle.
You have discovered Tormenter’s Bay.
[Group][Aconite]: Wow, I haven’t been back here since Sol was level 14.
[Group][Efthalia]: i’ve never been here
[Group][Efthalia]: now I think about it i’ve basically not been on this whole continent except the capitals
[Group][Aconite]: Are you elvist or something?
[Group][Efthalia]: i was just always more about endgame
[Group][Efthalia]: i’ve only got three alts
[Group][Aconite]: No wonder you’re the best geared tank on the server
[Group][Efthalia]: lol
[Group][Aconite]: Well TB is your classic hive of scum and villainy. It’s run by dark elf pirates
[Group][Aconite]: It’s way cooler than the Glittering Cove, which is where the smelly high elves take you
[Group][Aconite]: There’s actually quite a decent quest line where you have to track down this cult that’s trying to summon an ancient sea god that totally isn’t Cthulhu
[Group][Efthalia]: you can give me the guided tour after we’ve done BM
[Group][Aconite]: Absolutely. We can have a quiet drink in the Iron Maiden
They made their way north over the blasted heaths surrounding Tormenter’s Bay, trying to avoid the level twelve Ash-Touched Bears that lurked close to the port.4
You have discovered The Fetid Morass.
[Group][Aconite]: You really know how to show a boy a good time
[Group][Efthalia]: hey this was your idea
As much as Drew appreciated the design effort that went into much of the game, he had to admit that the Fetid Morass was just a bit dull. It was all grey-brown pools of water, grey-brown trees, and the occasional creepily glowing mushroom. Hefollowed Aconite’s bobbing snakes to the edge of a vast, dismal lake.
[Group][Aconite]: So you sort of have to swim down to it
[Group][Efthalia]: omg
[Group][Efthalia]: wtf
