Hi.
ash. Ash. ASH!
Ashen Maw!
Gosh that is where we left off and of course more has happened since that time of sailing and running errands from port to port and Orange is now level 20 with most everyone else except that blue water wave guy but once they get back into the party I will top them up too and just like in the White March I am cleaning out the map sailing to all the islands and exploring them to remove the black fog, enchanting weapons and armor and tweaking for the end game but how did Orange get to become so powerful and what has happened with the choices she has made you wonder, well there are spoilies ahead so you are warned so let us get to it then okay? Okay!
Ashen Maw was very straight forward and hot omg sooo hot with lava and the heat in the air and another Dragon!
It was awesome to see Eothas too from above along the stone bridges where you can look upon him in awe there were a number of party member quips made during this portion plus Jadaferlas the Ancient but it was underwhelming introduction and encounter but a lot has to do with Orange and her experience talking to dragons before so she is cool, calm and collected during the parlay. Oh and I have still not had an encounter with Sefyra who I let the Adra Dragon put their soul into so maybe there would be different dialog if I had met them already and all the other dragons I've met knew about it somehow.
Eothas saves Orange and the party from the big volcanic explosion and upon our return to Neketaka we all had a big discussion where even my lovesome shows up and all the big players are represented but I was surprised to see the Royal Deadfire Company since I killed any and all who attacked us. Oh! And Paligenia left the party too for good I guess Orange ruffled too many of her feathers!
And then what? Sailing and completing some quests, crossing t's and dotting i's. Some snippets of our journey.
- The gathering in Neketaka after the events in Ashen Maw.
- Clearing out Crookspur for my lovesome and freeing the slavers which also made Queen Onekaza II happy.
- Having fun taking care of the Royal Deadfire Company since they would not stop attacking us so Orange stormed into their headquarters.
- Another gathering but this time a power play in the Vallian Trading Company where things just did not go very well for Director Castol.
- Exploring many of the strange places while uncovering the black fog and uncovering oddities and magical items.
So now Orange is all prepped with her ship because all the exploring saved up the gold to buy the best sails and the best hull and Orange is captain to 11 crew members still with the same ship from the start of the game
. With only a few bounties left to take care of the next leg before sailing to Ukaizo Orange will now be starting on the new added story content but not the fighting pit one because I am not interested in that just more places to explore and unravel.
- What Orange and the party will be sinking their teeth into on the Easter long weekend!
Prime Junta gosh ofc I am having fun this world has so much history they just added to it from the first game with more books to read and lore in the item descriptions and I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.
Thanks,
Sherry
