Ships Passing in the Long Dark Night

By Feminina O'Ladybrain on July 22, 2024

No real spoilers, some vague hints

Butch:

Is it Monday? This is the week of eternal Sunday.

I turned TorGal down to story right away. I've already fought that guy twice. Fuck that guy.

Keep is clear! Went back to mop stuff up in the city. Immediately got the messenger from the other person and the graveyard and all that. Must ponder. Anyone done anything with that?

Feminina:

It's probably Friday?

I met the other person in the graveyard. Talked to the first guy again, but didn't commit to anything. He seems anxious for me nor to talk to the other person, which made me suspicious.

Also went to the Umar Hills, did that. Talked to Anomen's father. Talked to Quayle's friend.

Getting around, doing some stuff.

Butch:

Damn, someone played a ton.

I'm at the same place main story wise. Must investigate.

So we've all completed the whole Umar hills bit?

Amonen's father? And Quayle's friend? I haven't met the father, but is the friend an actor?

Also, I must write this before I forget. 

I am, as usual, playing with headphones so I can hear all the murmuring in the street, which really is talking.  I was hanging in Trademeet and some dude goes "If your parents don't buy you a porky stick they don't loooovvvveee youuuuuu." 

Awesome. 

Feminina:

Ha! That's awesome. Background conversation win!

Oh yes, so I met with the other person, in the graveyard, heard what that was about. Was tempted for story purposes, but was not into it, so I guess I need to go find Galen Boyle or whatever his name is.

I also have a bunch of quests that have gotten to a "this is hard!" stage and I have to decide which one to buckle down and tackle.

Rasaad and Hexxat are both totally making eyes at me.

Butch:

Oooo! Romance!

What did I do…I met Amonen's jerk of a father and dealt with that (how did you deal with that?), met Jan the gnome so of COURSE he's with me now, dealt with the animal trouble in trademeet and met Cernd and game, come the fuck ON with the portrayals of minorities and totally accidentally dealt with the OTHER trouble in trademeet (with the djinn). I think I really did the wrong thing there, so if you did that, or even STARTED that, let's chat. Because I did it before I even got it. It was like that.

I totally want to romance Mazzy. (Interesting side note: Mazzy was Jennifer Hale's first role at bioware. She'd go on to voice Femshep.)

Feminina:

I am FAMILIAR with the work of Jennifer Hale…but did not recognize her here, that's cool!

I met Cernd and I have to go solve a problem among the druids for him, and yeah, a bit on the nose making the clearly-Native-American-inspired character be a druid who lives in harmony with nature, etc. At least he's not evil?

I met the djinni and told them I'd deal with the thing for them, and then got a hint in town that the problem was someone in another place, and I haven't dealt with it yet. I haven't been back to Trademeet in a while.

Loothound:

I, too, want to romance Mazzy. It's a shame, because she's not a great fit for my little band. But she ADMIRES me! Swoon.

I told Anomen to just blow off his dad. Worked out okay. Got him knighted finally, too. It's not made him any less of a prick, though.

Gonna start the Monday.

Butch:

Mazzy's the best. If I can't romance her, I hope she winds up with the gnome.

I, too, told Amonen to blow off his dad and go to the magistrate. I did not seek revenge. That said, he's not knighted, or I don't think he is. Granted, as soon as we went to the magistrate I went back and switched up my party.

So, were the djinn evil? I did not talk to them at all before I did the druid thing. Later, I was minding my damn business and I bump into this lady. She starts talking and Jan (who has these see illusion glasses) is all "This place is crawling with illusions, like, why does that lady have a tiger head?" and she's all "You found me!" and I'm thinking "I did? Who the hell are you? Who am I looking for?" Huge fight that I barely win, I loot, there's a head. I have no idea why there's a head, but I figure must be important and I take it.

Later, STILL haven't talked to the djinn, the guild master is all "They won't leave until they have the head of such and so." I'm all "What, this head right here?" and she's all "Yeah! Take it to them." I stroll in and am all "Hey, we've never met, but here, have a severed head." and they're all "Cool, man! Thanks! Bye!" and they leave and I get a trophy.

So, what in the actual hell? Who the hell did I kill? Did I kill a good guy or a bad guy? What WAS that?

Yeah, bit on the nose there with Cernd. Kind of expected him to be named White Cloud that Stands with a Fist, but I guess they didn't have room for that on the character screen.

Loothound:

I'm on my way to that grove! Maybe we'll bump into each other. Oh, wait, this isn't Dark Souls. Anyway, I'll have to keep my eyes open for this djinn thing.

I've not met Cernd, but I've caught bits of him in Feminina's game. For sure, the Native American troping is strong with that one.
