Curse

Ok, perhaps its that she resembles my RL daughter in behavior and looks, but I absolutely adore Gwen. Go ahead, shoot me.

So, one can safely infer that Gwen survived the searing - she was last seen catching butterflies a reasonable distance away from Ascalon in the meadow.
Then of course there is Gwen's broken flute, commonly located at the spot where her mother once stood near their house in the doomed village of Ashford.

But wait, there's her red cape as well!
Is this some cruel red herring foisted upon us by ANet? Or is Gwen in hiding somewhere, waiting to be located by intrepid explorers?

Then of course is my daughters contention that Gwen is actually the main villain; after all, she seems to know about everything and is otherwise impervious to any creatures attacks in the pre-searing...

What a delicious twist of fate that would be (and how utterly ego-deflating) for the "manly and uber obsessed" to discover at last the evil genius behind all fell deeds from searing to lichhood is an otherwise precocious 14 year old girl who enjoys flowers and dancing about...

Gwen is some random evil witch with necromantic powers sitting in the bottom of the ocean...waiting for revenge

I would consider torching everyone alive at the end of the last beta weekend event is pretty evil.

Uhh, the last BWE didn't have gwen torching everyone, it had seriously evil uber worms eating everyone. Along with exploding GNOMES!!! Also fireworks

It is confirmed that preciouse little Gwendolin's post searing appearance is part of a currently unfinished quest.

InvaderGIR · Jun 17, 2005, 01:27 AM // 01:27

Click and you shall be amused.

But yes, it always did strike me odd that she never helped you fight, the enemies ignored her even after they finished you off, and only talked about herself. Methinks Gwen's going to go on a quest of revenge due to the death of her parents after the searing which was why she ditched her flute in Old Ascalon and how you see her tattered cape in Kryta's beaches.

Though I'm personally annoyed by her, I do expect to see her in some future expansions and explain what really happened to Gwen.

yeah but you gave her the flute and she heals you, you give her the cape and you get hte shard. now what the shard is for....

Porkchop Sandwhiches · Jun 17, 2005, 05:22 AM // 05:22

I dunno about you, but Gwen never helped me much.

As you can see Gwen is CLEARLY running away as a bear mauls me.

Gs-Cyan Bloodbane · Jun 17, 2005, 05:36 AM // 05:36

see gwen doesn't like you but she loves me. she is constantly healing me. I mean the times she saved my skin with that well placed heal. I will discover what fate has befallen Gwen and either rescue her or avenge her death!!!

Shut up and eat your Charr Stew

Gs-Cyan Bloodbane · Jun 17, 2005, 05:40 AM // 05:40

yeah that reminded me i don't want to go back to ascalon even if we stop the charr. I mean with all the Charr corpses i have left in my wake, the air is gonna stink and the water table will be even more polluted. I think we are doing more damage to ascalon by fighting the charr then they did by dropping big crystals on it.

But then again that Charr stew sure is yummy and filling

I dunno I wouldn't mind going back to Ascalon and trying to right everythere there, I mean c'mon, it's my home! And that stupid King as GOT to go.

Plus, you must admit Ascalon was pretty before it was destroyed. Let's rebuild!

...Maybe it will bring Gwen out of hiding. You know she's probably out there somewhere!

All thing Gwen: The tapestry from Pre-Searing, the cape near Fisherman's haven, the broken flute near Old Ascalon. As far as I know none of these do anything. Ja?

ManadartheHealer · Jun 17, 2005, 06:09 AM // 06:09

To my knowledge they are all crap

Anarchist_Monk · Jun 17, 2005, 06:15 AM // 06:15

Hey its only fair for the Remnants of Ascalon to lead the way in the restoration.

Gs-Cyan Bloodbane · Jun 17, 2005, 06:18 AM // 06:18

yeah but i carry all of them on my active char just to be sure that prehaps you need to be holding them to find her or clues to find her. Or if i simply happen to find thier use.

Porkchop Sandwhiches · Jun 17, 2005, 06:19 AM // 06:19

By the way, after doing a google search for Gwen I found one of them of her setting a group of dancing necros on fire. Kind of amusing!

Which is a must see if you haven't seen it.

The above links a bunch of when Gwen went a bit crazy and set things on fire.

RTSFirebat · Jun 17, 2005, 07:08 AM // 07:08

Always wondered if there any purpose to the old gwen items found after the searing...

*SPOILER"*

Pretty sure you see her mum down in the Underworld talking to another ghost asking if they have seen her. But she is nowhere to be seen down in the UW

*SPOILER END*

So I'm pretty much sure she is still alive somewhere, maybe, just maybe
