LA's Book 2 Trip

Inu Teisei and Laughing Academy organized an open trip to Pathfinding Book 2. It was well attended and turned out to be a great success. I was a little worried at first because we were missing most of the hard hitters we had last time (way back in March). We did have some close calls, but Mujin-kun, a few rangers who had studied webber noids, and a couple of blood bladers filled the offensive power role nicely. Blackhole did a great job in leading the group.


I mostly stayed toward the rear and helped with the occasional backspawn, or reinforced the front line when the fighting got heavy. I was happy to have some opportunities to practice my stonegirdle technique. The sketch below makes me look more important than I actually was. The noids lost interest in me after only a couple of seconds, and then Mujin-kun squashed them. However, my timing was good, and my judgment can only improve with practice.


Many thanks to everyone involved for a fun time!

PC Practice

The Open Hunt went to the Pitch Caves today. With Inu Teisei's Book 2 trip coming up next week, I thought it would be good to practice in a place with webber noids. Last week it took us a long time just to get through the Malachite Caves. This week's group was roughly the same strength, but I thought we would see how far we could get.


PC 1 had relatively few webbers, so we cleared it and continued. We ended up going all the way to PC 5 and back without much trouble. I hope our success is a good sign of how next week's expedition will turn out.

Rain Forest

Eli and Natas led a hunt to the Metz Rain Forest. Eli had a good time getting lasties on Gloaming Wendeckas on the way. We were happy to meet plenty of challenging creatures in RF.


Just as we were ready to leave, we were ambushed as we came out of the treetops. I was in bad position and fell almost instantly. The others retreated into the treetop as Natas held off the three Haremaus and other critters. However, Natas was blocked from the tree, so he had to run north to the safe tree by the river. Even more Haremaus showed up, so it took us quite a while to get the whole party back together. Eventually we were reunited and swam back to the Cove. An exciting hunt!

Darshak Expansion on TI

PAG went to Tenebrion's Island to see whether anything was new in the Darshak area, which a new sign calls Venables Outpost. We found that one of the buildings has freshly dug tunnels. Also, that snell has a path that leads to the field outside Tenebrion's castle (just west of Flander's Field).
