Hi all, Irri here, reporting live after the fact on CHIM QUESTING INTO THE FELWOOOOOD
We began our day being accosted by some Gaian Ents who asked for our assistance in helping rebalance the forest. Some unforeseen force was making all the wildlife act hostile!
We were also following a trail towards the supposed entrance to the Black City, an ancient, frozen civilization home to the Draconians, a group of us, along with Professor Mia, have been researching.
Through our travels in Felwood, we met several species native, including Perins, a cat-like creature that is extremely resilient and deadly. We had to sneak past them in order to traverse the rest of Felwood.
We had to make our way through the bird Sanctuary, led by the eagle Vision. We had to appease his flock to gain passage.
Then we had to travel underwater, fighting fish and frogs to reach a laser-activated pylon, sneak through a pride of Perins to activate a second, and convince a group of faeries what season it was to activate a third.
Then, Cressida was kidnapped! Oh no, not the bestie! I valiantly led the charge, then let others take the lead to save her. Golems were fought, rituals were done, puzzles were solved, and she was freed. Conveniently, her prison was the entrance to a cave system that seemed to lead to our desired destination. Just as we all had entered, suddenly, mercenaries were upon us, sieging the entrance, trying to cut us down. We were successful in our defense and continued into the caves.
We came upon an ancient lab, with clues as to how draconian magics and technology worked. Once we figured out how to open the door, we were met with the darkest of dark caves, with golems ominously guarding the path. It was spooky.
After that, we entered a purple haze, only able to be illuminated by the power of topaz. There was a piece of technology in the middle, which several people attempted to activate. Once it was, a golem of amethyst appeared, creating duplicates of itself.
We eliminated the assailant, unsure of where this tunnel would continue to lead.
The next day, we regrouped, with Blackwood Joe making an appearance, saying he came in through the Ashenmark side of the tunnels. Professor Claudia arrived as well, ready to study crabs alongside her intern (me). We fought through countless waves of mole-crabs in pursuit of research. We eventually found a dark and very spooky evil draconian fellow who did not want to be friends, and we put him in an indefinite prison! I also got upgraded to a part-time employee! I’m very excited to pursue an education in crab-ology.
My time in Felwood was challenging and filled with adventure, but we learned more about the Draconian mystery, and in the future, hopefully, we will be able to help them more.
Looking forward to the next adventure,
