![]() I had missed out the previous Saturday because… well… I was too damn tired to stay up late. Saturday night found the regular Middle-earth group back in the game. We finished up our pass through Agamaur, turned in the quests that we had finished, picked up the next round, then called it a night. However, his morale was quickly revived and we went on to victory. We suffered our only defeat when it went after Garfinkel. That might have been the toughest fight of the night. It was out there that we ran into rare elite master huorn, Dour-root, that walked into the middle of one of our fights. While these quests were of the solo variety, they are of the sort much more easily done in a group than solo, especially since a couple of them involve fighting through a few elite mobs. There was still a bit of time left in the evening so headed back to into the Red Pass, picked up a pile of quests from the outpost there, and then headed into Agamaur. We had to run around and turn in some quests, but otherwise we were pretty much set. We won by default.Īnd that about wrapped things up for us in book 2. We were there ready for one last epic battle and he got up and left. We fought our way there through an army of wights to relieve them.īut the bad guy, Ivar or some such, was having none of it. Then we turned our attention to an outpost that was besieged. I’ll swap a bit of lore purity for that I suppose.Īnd so, to my surprise, we managed to hack and cast and strum our way through the first part of the encounter while Radagast collected up his animal friends. Yeah, yeah… more magic in one fight than the combined Istari ever cast in all Tolkien’s books… but it is still pretty cool. It is like napalm on the tree line… literally in some of our fights… both devastating and awe inspiring. ![]() The lightning bolt offense was one of my favorite spell effects in the game… until she started casting that firey fuel-air bomb area effect spell. Garfinkel has a lot of moral boost in his tunes, without having to generate too much aggro, thanks to a class trait.Īnd Enaldie… I’ll just say that Runekeepers were officially voted “OP” in our fellowship. Plus my metal smith has been keeping far enough ahead of the group to festoon Earl in purple gear. Unlike back at Weathertop, I think we were coming into our prime class-wise.Įarl now has enough aggro generation to keep most things focused on him. More than survive, we were in good shape after the fight. The first group was just one elite huorn and a pack of minions. Oh, and we had to keep him safe from the elite trees and wights roaming the swamp which, in true escort quest form, Radagast seemed drawn to like marinara sauce to a white shirt.Īnd these mobs came in groups. There is a reason other Istari make fun of Radagast. All we had to do was follow him around while he… and I am not kidding about this… while he spoke to a fox, a frog, a rabbit, and a squirrel. Here we ended up in another swamp… drainage is an issue in this part of Middle-earth I guess… with Radagast. We told Radagast we were ready to travel now. The evening was still early however, so we decided to give it the old junior college try. Given how much of a challenge Retaking Weathertop was for the four of us at level, it seemed like it might be a stretch for us. While this was the last quest in the book, it was also a fellowship quest and at our level. The recipe rewards are generally less than optimal (I never get the metal smith tool recipe I want, and don’t get the cook in group started on his lack of recipe rewards), but they give experience, a little coin, at the ingredients that you get have some value.īack in Ost Guruth it was time to head out with Radagast at last. We all picked up the trade skill reward quests again along the way, just in case we ended up back in the swamp for some reason. ![]() Having finished up our initial quest target, we had to rewind back to Ost Guruth through the various quest givers. Looks like the bedrooms of a couple of people I knew in the 1970s. Too bad these torches pre-date the invention of dayglo colors in Middle-earth. I should of asked him, before we did him in, where he got torches that burn the same color as black lights.
