Okay I'm back for more story quests!
We still need to wait until the druids find a way for us to save Anne, and also the two missing parts of that light ceremony book, but we can at least keep an eye on the Dark Riders while we wait.
Linda will be staying in the library, studying ancient texts, looking for anything that can help us. We'll all report back to her, since she'll always be in the same place. The rest of us, Alex, Lisa, and I, will be basically spying on the Dark Core. We all have different posts where we'll be keeping a look out.
My post is #42 and it's on paddock island.
That sure is an ocean. Exciting stuff. Maybe it'll be more interesting with binoculars?
nope, not really. just the Dark Core Oil Rig doing nothing but smoking a lot
I do hear screaming and crying tho?
I looked down at the bottom of the cliff and
Sonja what are you doing here?
Apparently, she was out for a ride when one of the many runestones scattered around jorvik lit up right next to her. It spooked her horse and she fell off as he bolted.
hmmm yeah that runestone's glowing alright
Well, I better take Sonja to a doctor. Or a vet, since that's all this game has. I'm sure she'll be fine
That's a very normal way to sit on a horse...how hard did you say you hit your head?
Here you go vet, have a probably concussed teenager, I gotta go talk to Linda
Hey Linda there's a glowy runestone what do
She told me she doesn't know, but Alex does stuff with the runestones for the druids all the time so I should go ask her.
But of course she doesn't know where Alex is so I had to ask around a lot but eventually I asked James and he told me Alex is at the mall with their mom.
I then preceded to just stand here awkwardly and listen to their very private conversation. Alex mom was having some sort of meltdown about how nobody loves her anymore and she's such a terrible mother and Alex was trying to comfort her. I am very uncomfortable myself.
Alex finally noticed me and told me she takes readings of the runestones' power for the druids. They can use it to keep track of the boundary between jorvik and pandoria, I guess. She says she'll teach me how but first I need a runestick.
So I asked Elizabeth for a runestick and she told me Fripp can give me one.
Fripp was talking in riddles and frankly he sounded like he was having some sort of existential crisis
lol how are you so small
Anyways I eventually got him to register I need a runestick and he made one appear in a fancy magic portal looking thing
So now I've got my runestick, I went back to the glowy runestone to wait for Alex
Took her a while, but she got here eventually. She explained to me how to do these runestones. I only very vaguely remember doing this on my main, but I do remember hating it. This should be fun
here i go
It went pretty smoothly, actually. Less hard than I remember it being. I think I was just bad back then lol
There's just a circle of runes that float around the runestone and I gotta click the runes in the order that they show up on the stone. Easy.
Alex told me I did a good job and then I went back to my post watching for the Dark Riders. Gotta keep watch all night
