Isn't that part of the challenge?

"Marshall Tasca?" interrupted Aidan. He knew well the tales of the intrepid explorer. A man said to be impossible to kill, Tasca was reputed to have survived avalanches, locust swarms, and the occasional wummpus stampede.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen. Solo "explorers"(some people call them farmers) are part of the games lore.

Uhh, no. Solo explorers know when to avoid a fight (when ever possible), farmers just understand the words, kill, maim, destroy, squish. Retreat, stealth, sneak are foreign concepts to them

As for summer being over in 2 weeks. You may want to check your calendar, according to mine, we've got 5 more weeks till the autumn equinox (sept 22)

Anyone seen a 'wummpus' - or did Tasca kill them all?

I feel a draft.
You are in Room # 20
Tunnels lead to 13,16,19

corax, I'm dissapointed! You mention the portals but give no mention of trying them and getting teleported somewhere or have nothing happen. Think of your fellow farm--erm... explorers!

Last time I was in the area, trying to capture Shield of Judgement, I was lured to the portals by their humming. Nothing happens when you aproach them though....

I guess the sept 21 thing was no joke! That is crazy! Talking about waiting for last minute!

Age · Aug 17, 2005, 08:28 PM // 20:28

That was interesting place never knew what that thing was yes I have been there unascended and all.

I've seen screen shots of the Frog talking in LA.

We will know more about the update withing a "fortnight". Now either the developers ARE as dumb as I think they are and just though fortnight sounded like a cool old english word to use...or we have about 14 days before there is even another mention of the update.

I've also been told that the frog said something about the update being here before the Equinox...which we should all know is September 22nd.

Honestly. I think I'd shit myself if the update is here before September 21st. I love Guild Wars...but the developers get 1.5 thumbs down for business practice and development scoping.

Impossible to kill, survived stampedes?
Sounds a lot like a 55hp monk to me. They're almost impossible to kill, in the UW anyway, and they survive stampedes of Aatxes and swarms of Grasping Darknesses...

Hey, I've been covering guild wars lore too! here and here

Maiyn · Aug 18, 2005, 08:23 AM // 08:23

I am ridiculously excited!!

PLEASE COME BEFORE I START SCHOOL AGAIN!!!!!

Epinephrine · Aug 18, 2005, 05:47 PM // 17:47

Maybe there wil be a new skill - "Crooked Arrow". And pit traps and giant bats! Or maybe I'm the only one who finds it humorous that they've got a wuumpus.
