Get another warrior, you need someone to bodyblock for the squishies at least.

Another Hunter is the way to go I think; Warriors tend to get blocked in in my experience and mystics are limited by a mechanic, but more Hunters is basically always useful.

  Our first order of business is to hire up a new blade.  The problem with recruiting from your home town is everyone knows you, and has some previous opinions. Anmos's slacker past is catching up with him. There is something of a longing stare there at the start.  This woman doesn't take much convincing. Half the town burning down may have something to do with that.  Ciara joins us as a warrior.   Here are her stats. She is a cowardly peacemaker maybe hiring the first person who looks at you isn't the best idea guys.  One training montage later, she gains the Shieldshear skill to help deal with that armour.  The next job is to take the party out to explore we enter the Mistcliffs, and discover the Brokenmure Earthworks. And with it, a fight!  Looks like we have a missing person report.  Someone looks very proud of the information they have.  Monsters near some sort of ancient alter? How could this go wrong?  Here we get to choose some tactics we can't just leave this woman on her own, so we charge in to save her.  We have the same enemies.  We start next a spirit if you can get next to it before it runs, you get a reward. This one runs into a dead end, so is trivial to pick up.  We of course take the magic weapon!  If I pick it up, I could hit people with it  Armour shredding and pinning. Along with a boost to melee accuracy and block - nice.  I gets a better name though.  Oh yeah, there are enemies here as well.  Yvilde starts by getting one hit in.  We form a line the blue things under us is a defensive boost you get for standing next to each other. The two warriors go into defensive mode.  Now for Rath Magic is Wildermyth is a bit different, you have to interfuse with the terrain to us it this then gives you an ability depending on what you choose.  This one gives me a nice area of effect weapon.  Fire for effect!  So much for their armour. Good job Rath.  Down goes the Sommelier.  Rath's not done yet, as time to hit with a discus this does minimal damage however.  I stay on the defensive.  The Spectik moves forwards, and Anmos leaps forward to destroy it.  This leaves him open to a counter attack, with a bit of damage.  A this point however, the battle is a done deal.  Victory, and the experience that comes with it, is ours.  And with it the loot this is a weird one, it's not great, so I give it to Rath as it improves his spell damage the loss of Melee accuracy made me not want to put it on my melee guys.  We find Maria, but Yvilde makes things sound threatening.  Yep, it's a place of power I'll of course leave it up to you guys if we use it or not, but I think I know the answer it's more who we use it on.   Of course we want it!  Yeah, you lot need to have a conversation.  The Morthagi get stronger.  After the battle we secure the site more items is good at this stage.  Our first resources. Not enough to build anything, but it's a start!  Yvilde claims the Pauldrons of Power for some bonus damage.  We are off to explore the foothills known as Doomdown. This is in no way ominous.  We find some infested waterworks, and patrol them first to remove this infestation.  While this is happening, the enemies advance. I use the two legacy points we got from the last battle to block the addition of two new forms of Morthagi, but the other traces grow stronger.  It's not looking to bad right now, but this will grow over time!  With the infestation cleared, we move to defeat the enemies. Though Yvilde disagrees with the pre mission beer run.  Yeah, as I teetotaller myself, I feel this mood.  Rath stays behind, and asks her how she is.  Ahh, the traditional heroes in the dark corner motif.  Same old here.  We stand before a closed gate.  We stack up and bring some fire in ready to attack.  Yvilde kicks in the door and puts an arrow into the Sommelier on the other side.  Rath moves up the fire, revealing the two Spectiks.  Anmos finished off the Sommelier.  With support, he dodges the enemy attacks.  An arrow.....  . Followed by a hit damages one Spectik.  Ciara finishes it off, while Rath moves the fire to burn the last one to ashes.  Without any damage as well!  Apparently we missed something important last night.  Amnos, as our worst dodger and front line tank gets this bit of loot.  A new threat rises.  And the site is secured.  Ciara gets the loot this time.  This update ended up much longer than I planned, but we are starting to explore the wilderness. Do we activate that place of power? If so, who do we try and infuse?

Well that was a surprisingly quick leap to romance among party members. Activate the place of power, try to infuse Anmos. Why not use it on the greedy slacker?

While I'm sure no one would do this, but if you've played the game, please refrain from posting spoilers. "Oh we should do this becuase it would do X" will kill the fun for a lot of people. That said, I've not seen this one before, so have no idea what will happen!

Really doesn't leave much to the imagination. It's not something you normally notice in gameplay but I've made a few event mods myself and it's really apparent how much hunters (and especially female hunters) crouch down compared to other characters when you need to make sure they'll always fit properly in a comic panel.

 While Rath goes to perform the ritual, the others move on to scout a nearby location.  This can not end badly.  We have a nice ominous storm going.  I have a feeling this marriage is in a bit of trouble. At least he's reconsidering why his wife feels the need to perform a ancient ritual.  Hey Rath, don't give up yet! You're still young, it's not like you're about to be horribly disfigured in some ritual!  Speaking of....  Now here is a choice but at the end of the day, who sticks their head into a pool of lighting charged water? I go for arm, as it seems to be sensible.  The lightning courses through Rath, and his transformation begins.  You think?  Rath looses his flail, but gains UNLIMTED POWER!  He moves to catch up with the others.  They move into a deep, foggy forest.  That's not ominous at all!  Okay, so it's a known ancient threat then!  You know what, I'm going to throw this choice over to you guys!

 The party make the decision to look at the strider, but then most of the party is distracted!  The others in the party are frozen by magic, and only Anmos sees the thing emerge from the forests around them.  It calls to him, the bravest of the group, and transforms him, wooden antlers sprout from his head. Then it is gone, like it was never there.  Yeah, I'm not sure that was the brightest move Anmos.  This is another transformation. For now he heals quicker, but this will spread as he ages - as will Rath's electrical bits.  Going into battle, Yvilde uses her ability to silk step, she is now invisible and able to attack from cover.  the monsters charge forward, missing their shots, Yvilde doesn't.  Rath infuses with the terrain and lays down some traps, which they helpfully walk into.  This changes the tempo, and the warriors charge in.  Rath then makes rocks explode.  We then push up and destroy them.  Another bloodless victory. Well, bloodless for us. There is plenty of Drauven blood around.  Rath gets a fancy belt.  After the battle, Yvilde finds something of interest.  Yeah Rath. She's talking about the body, not the massive golden shield.  Well, she seems to have rotten well! I'll be here all week, try the veil.  As nonplussed as the others seem, we have claimed a rather good shield Ciara gets it as Amnos's hands are full. Bonus damage and reduced hits are both good!  The Drauven get more powerful.  We claim the Quarry.  And get Amnos a nice pair of pauldrons. He's turning into some sort of battle druid at the moment.  We head off to explore Doomoth who is naming these places, there is doom everywhere!  I use half our legacy points to keep the Morgathai down.  Entering Doomoth, Anmos runs into a unexpected face.  Anmos takes run into his actual doppelgδnger very well.  So, talk, run or fight? How do we deal with this strange copy. And will we ever know which one is the real one? Does it even matter?
