Granheld’s Yorn – Session 7

Granheld’s Yorn – Session 7 published on

Another session where Recifer got to live another day! :D;;
Primary because there was no combat! I do a recap so late I forgot a lot by now… whoops xD;;
We did gain a new party member however! A mothkin named Willow who is from Recifer’s home place! I hope that will make him talk a bit. I don’t often play the shy reserved ones and Recifer has been bit too quiet for my taste…but I’m learning xD;

The party got tasked to check on the local shrines. The closest one being…the one where their dog companion came from, from what they could guess. Or they could venture to the one further south which required a boat ride! Recifer having never been on a boat leaped at the idea! There was a talk about what does one do after death and the question on family which made Recifer ponder – who would pick his grimoir after he passes away? He thought hopefully by then the grimoir will be full of useful spells and places. Willow was of course quick to interject – they are his family! It was sweet… ;u;

It was a short session of mostly introducing the party member. Next one should be next year cause December is busy time for everyone. Well…untill then ~

Time to Dawn the Trail!

As someone who will immediately tell you about The Award Winning Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV with free trial up to Stormblood… it was a bit surprising that I didn’t jump into Dawntrail right away ! :D;;; And that was due to …well summer was hot and my laptop gets hot. I don’t like when the two are combined. I was also rather busy just as DT came out so… I waited for the weather to cool off and as September rolled… it was time to slowly chip away at the new expansion!
No Spoilers (so far!)

I’m barely pass the first batch of quests, I reached the level 91 quest batch last night. It is going to take me a while. I wasn’t super excited about Dawntrail but I waited to get hungry for FF14 in general before leaping back in. Endwalker really and I mean REALLY sapped my soul (in a good way but ow, my emotions!) I wanted to go into DT with very open mind and zero expectations.

And my first experience in DT was … having a huge load of names thrown at me right off the bat. xD;;; It just made me blink and nod through the first hour or so. I get it though – it is a whole new world and a whole different place. But with other locations we had the names gradually being introduced and here it was bombardment of really difficult names, at least to me. It’s a small complain but… I won’t remember a thing till probably near the end I imagine.

So we have like Papa Ja Ja, Bad Ja Ja and some Ja … and that’s all the names I could remember xD;; Locations and city names? It’s going to take a long while xD;; Wuk Lamat of course being such a bean is joy to experience. I do appreciate that we’re not really swaying anything with our presence, so far anyway but rather help her on her journey. I had concerns about our WoL’s involvement in completely different country’s political climate… but so far… not bad? :D;;; It is a game and I super duper try to be open about the experience!

I don’t currently have any strong feelings and I find myself going back to finish side quests in other regions while leveling a DPS on the side, going into DT as a healer feels really weird, especially with how my WoL is dressed xD;;
I’m very very early in the game to feel anything and I’m aware it’s new place and like starting anew rather than the emotional whirlwind that was Shadowbringers + Endwalker wombo combo so … I hope I get new attachment to my potato sized Azem :> He’s been through a lot! Even though I have some alts I wish to play as, I don’t think I can juggle more than 1 character anymore… ‘_’;;;; so I’ll see what I can do… maybe I too will become a fantasia addict.
Well, more to come as I play along! I will give spoiler warning later on just in case :>

Granheld’s Yorn – Session 6

Granheld’s Yorn – Session 6 published on

Last weekend we got a session! And Recifer got to do a lot of things !!! 😀

We arrived at a big dungeon last time. It was a closed place so some characters had disadvantage on their rolles due to the tight space. It was a cave surrounded by many huge roots and full of many angry drakes! We had to investigate and find out what was making the drakes so hostile.

As we made our way, it was combat after combat and Recifer has …like mostly gimmicky spell – mortifying bloat being one of them. He basically inflates the enemy and debuffs their status by making them big round ball. It… sounds kinda gross but it was the only useful spell he could learn at that level :”) …..

So what am I doing through the dungeon? You get balloon status and you get balloon status – everyone gets balloon status! Dice in on my side and so far Reci manages to land all debuffs and everyone after him finishes off the debuffed enemies without much issue!

We did find a strange device on the way – it was something that Pallicate could figure out and quickly called it bad… as in made by people she knows and they are some bad folks. Did they irritate the drakes? What did they have to do with all that?

Eventually we bagan to feel a strange curse in the air. Thankfully Recifer’s mage breaker quirk activated and he wasn’t affected but everyone else got mild debuff. We proceeded to locate the source of the curse and we arrived at a giant pit where we found… More drakes! And the BOSS drake!

Now… I’m not sure if the DM considered it when she was picking the maps but… I had balloon spell and a push spell and the boss was on the edge of a giant pit. I got buffed two act twice and … you can guess what I did (and the dice blessed me) – The boss got balloon’d and pushed over the edge! Next turn Recifer dispelled the status and the boss vanished into the pit xD;;; I was cackling like a mad woman!! I’m so glad the dice was on my side and the DM allowed my shenanigans to happen. We had more drakes on us so we didn’t end the fight unscatted!

Once we were done, we found the place was guarded by a neitherdragon! (if I spell that right) and they were less than thrilled to see us lol. We tried to talk but all we got was “You don’t belong here! These lands are mine!” and then we had to book and run cause big dragon snake started moving and shaking the huge roots and everything started crumbling!

We managed to successfully escape and for whatever reason Reci rolled critical successes twice while running, I guess suddenly he got really good at that xD;;
All and all the whole session he got to shine and do a lot of things for which I’m glad!!
Next time, we return to the Ravenfall and report the dragon findings!
