Well of the Unfortunate

Back in the City, the Solo Bunch continued with their Lawful ways, rejecting a job which required them to do some thieving. That’s not the way for heroes, for sure.

The Bunch decided to embark on the side quest journeying to the Well of the Unfortunate. Along the way, they met a bunch of Inox warriors fighting a band of armoured humans. Of course, with Brutus in the party, they opted to help the Inox. When the dust settled, the Inox thanked the party by gifting them a Necklace of Teeth. It’s a pretty useful item for Weaver to have, allowing for 1HP heal each time an she gets an enemy kill. 

At the Well, it was a huge battle fest. Plenty of Vermling Scouts and Shamans were there to stop the bunch from getting to the objective, i.e. to throw a doll into the well, hoping that it will cure the daughter of a finely-dressed man which they met.

With the objective of bring the doll to the well, this is a rather interesting scenario. They party nominated Tinder to carry the doll, hoping that his swift movement will help them achieve the goal. Of course, it didn’t go according to plan. With so many enemies outside the door, the party had to deal with all of them before being able to make any headway into the passageway. Weaver was the one tasked to hit the pressure plate which will open the door to the passageway.

To get the plates, traps were activated and with traps, there’re always ways to lead the enemy into them.

With the door to the passage open, the bunch confronted a whole new breed of enemy... the Stone Golem! They were tough opponents but the bunch opted not to rush in, and had the Golems trickle out of the passage, dispatching them one at a time.

With the passage clear, it was a race to get to the room where the well is! It’s easy to avoid traps in such an empty place...

Brutus was the first to open the door, and was confronted by Living Spirits. These fellas can fly and can hit hard!

With the objective so close, the aim is not to kill them all, but to hold them off so that Tinder can get to the well. So all the party had to do was to hang on.

Both Weaver and Brutus held the way, becoming exhausted in the process. But it was okay. They cleared the way for Tinder to jump into the room to toss the doll into the well. Mission accomplished!
