JELLYFISH! Okay, now we’re in business because I got a JELLYFISH, and it GLOWS! I must apologize for this effusive outburts, but the excitement I felt at receiving a summonable jellyfish simply cannot be overstated. A GODDAMN GLOWY JELLYFISH! Here’s a picture if you don’t believe me:
This jellyfish needs a name now, but I don’t want to just wing it. This perfectly squishy floating friend needs a name worthy of the joy they bring me. Anyway, now back to your semi-regularly scheduled overly pretentious update.
From the Gatefront ruins, Shaw hopped on Sir Mix-a-Lot and headed North through the titular gate front. Heavily armed soldiers behind barricades blocked the way through, while a giant observed from an archway overlooking the passage. This was not the time to stop and fight. She pushed on swiftly and somehow emerged on the other side, completely unscathed. Nearby, she found the Stormhill Shack, a completely rundown building, no longer fit for human habitation; is there any other kind in the Lands Between? Inside this shack Shaw met Little Red Riding Hood (pictured below) who gave her a jellyfish. This forlorn girl also had quite a few things to say about dismembering people and grafting their severed limbs to a giant spider. Choice quote: “Even their heads…taken. Taken and stuck to the spider.” Shaw was initially disturbed but forgot all about it once she was given a jellyfish. Surely a world in which strangers give you jellyfish could not be as horrible as it initially appeared?
Just outside the shack, inside a slouched corpse, Shaw found a Stonesword key! She would make good use of this to go back and fight the skeleton she met yesterday.
Riding high on her newly acquired jellyfish, but not literally, as she was still riding Sir Mix-a-Lot, Shaw continued to head North along the road. While traversing a canyon, she heard a voice calling for help from above. So far, none of the calls for help had been traps, so she decided to investigate. High on the cliff, overlooking the canyon, she discovered a rather droll fellow, by the name of Iron Fist Alexander, a giant pot (jar?) with arms (and presumably legs) stuck in a hole. By smacking his bottom multiple times with her sword, she was able to dislodge him. As way of thanks, Alexander gifted Shaw a piece of meat. He talked about some sort of tournament, somewhere in the East. Choice quote: “Just keep clobbering away at the old behind!”
To conclude this update, here is a list of things that Shaw fought without dying:
- a lesser mad pumpkin head;
- a giant bat;
- a giant land octopus;
- a red glowing dude, apparently called Recusant Henricus.
Summary:
In which Shaw receives a GIANT GLOWING JELLYFISH!!!!!
