Day Six, part 1

The Final Day


Say it ain't so, Maestro

It's official, Ye Gods have spoken and decreed that tonight it going to be the end of the first leg of our little trip and tomorrow we'll all have to start anew.

Frustration in Rogwel set in quickly. Well, if we've only got a few hours left, might as well make 'em count. I gather up Jocelyn, who was already miffed enough about missing yesterday's festivities, and hitch a ride with the invasion party back to the scenic land of Elerd, home of powerful magic and killer bunnies and, ultimately, destiny.




Again we fought our way into Bijumir, this time splashing around their kiddie pool for a bit


Lightwind does the sad dance of frustration


Actually all human dances look like the sad dance of frustration

And again we trample down to Nasdaim.


Once more unto the breach, dear friends!



Behind us some sort of siege engine appears, which was only the beginning of the strange events of this day. I was too startled to get any pics. I dashed straight into town to see the sights, pursued by an irate evoker named Endora.



I try to hide from her in some sort of lava factory while waiting for backup.


Note to self: don't try to hide in some sort of lava factory

Only one place left to raid: the Castle!




Shit just got real

Ok, here's about where communication broke down and something incredible happened, and we were all too shocked to take pictures or even form an accurate recollection of what went down.

Best I can gather, we were doing well against the castle high priest, having surrounded him and killing his bodyguards. Some Elerdian counter-forces were inbound but we held steady. Then, suddenly, just as things seemed to be turning in our favor...

We were attacked by giant Poms.


Little help?


What the monkey? Giant Poms? Did anyone just see that?

A whole gang of three-story tall, giant Pom ancestors, Pom-giants, Pom-Jotunn suddenly appeared out of nowhere and, shocked beyond shockingness, all of us sorta went "Wha?" and fled or died or fainted. (Jocelyn managed a rare combo and flediefainted.)


Seriously. Giant Poms.

By invading so far into Elerd in such force apparently we had angered the very gods of Elerd itself, who had come down and dropped a m&*$^#*@$ gang of giant Poms on us!

But let me tell you, that was just the beginning.

What happens when the gods are let loose?
