A Burg’s Tale: Chapter 21

 

Teriadwyn’s pick of the week: Golden Blooms by Cosmetic LOTRO

 

Week In Gaming

 

Aerindys

  • LOTRO: ran the low level beorning around some more
  • ESO: logged in for the first time in a while and tried to reacclimate myself with the game

 

Celebathien

  • Ran with the Grrlz in the WildWood because a hobbit burg pack wiping out the landscape trailed by a baby moose named Menace is amusement at its finest.
  • Had Khelevorn begin his LI related quests in North Ithilien and the Wastes. Again. Sigh.
  • My Sith Warrior girl has her bae, Malavi Quinn. He’s so resistant to her charms, though! Crai. How dare he? Also found out some info about things in the future that may have him sleeping in an airlock until he’s forgiven when the time comes. Or the couch. You  know, whatever’s handy.
  • My male Sith Warrior and Teri’s Assassin finally made it off Nar Shadaa.

 

Gwaerendes

  • More questing in the Wildwood on Grrlz of Middle Earth. There were absolutely *no* spiders involved.
  • ESO: the Nightblade ran about Vvardenfell with a Sanswinda nightblade, then stayed to become a Magister.
  • ESO: Ms. Shiny became a Master Antiquarian, and then ran several Undaunted delves with Luinori, Pineleaf, and Sanswinda.

 

Crister

  • Oooh oooh oooh I’m on Fire!  We have our strategy on Fire for Remm and we couldn’t be happier!  Now onto dying in droves at the second/third bosses!
  • I have decided to protest Harwick by opening a nearby town called Cristerwick – it is basically Harwick without a banned Crister – and buildings/services/other basic needs.
  • You have earned 20 Cristerbucks!  And I’d like to share another little project as well bahahah!

  • Balance vs Nerf

 

Sanswinda

  • Romped around the Wildwood mapless with the Grrlz and accidentally took us to Bree.
  • Rode with the Rohirrim on the field trip. 
  • Reached level 5 scrying in ESO while leveling my Warden and then ran some undaunted delves with friends.

 

Teriadwyn

  • Logged into LOTRO for Tuesday night gaming, ran around for 20 minutes before realizing I hadn’t actually gotten into Discord…
  • ESO: Switched to ESO to run some stuff with Pine and Sans, trying very hard not to fall asleep.
  • SWTOR: Sith Assassin has finished up on Nar Shaddaa along with Celebathien’s Warrior. Now we have Interludes before Alderaan.
  • Also SWTOR: Sith Sorceror on Satele Shan finished the story and became Darth Imperius. Definitely like the female voice better.
  • Picked up Craft the World again because there was an update this week. It is way too easy to lose track of time in that game.

 

Pineleaf

  • My Anor warden helped clean up after the battle at Pelennor Field and headed into Osgiliath. The area is so much easier to navigate without having to weave through three armies.
  • During the field trip, we charged into the Battle of Pelennor Fields.
  • My main ESO character ran a few rounds of the Psijic Order quest line and traveled through Tamriel with Morchandir’s skull. During the course of this, a yellow antiquities lead dropped for the Mage’s Guild sanctuary. I thus decided to finish up the Mage Guild quest line so that I could follow the lead.
