Day 5 of Black Gold: Alphachruch of the Buvontians

Initial Reaction:

So I made another character to just play through the story before blogging it down. The story is great but the quests feel like grinding, but at the same time the quest requirements are really small.

First Person Role Playing

I woke up next to Eric, he was way too close to me but was still asleep. I got up and arranged everything in my bag and left Eric to sleep there. I got out of the tent and checked my quest log. I needed to to submit a quest to Eric. I ran back to Eric and shook him awake. "Wha-what!" he said. I immediately took him about the quest and asked him to sign it off. He signed it off and went back to sleep. Happy, I went back outside and looked my next quest. I had to investigate the source of the pollution in the river next to all the Darkfire Commandos. I carefully bypassed the Commandos and got to the river. Next to the river were several machines that were pouring dust out. That was probably the source of the pollution. I checked out the machine and collected a little sample. The sample was filled with small dust particles, this was definitely the source.

Investigating the Pollution

The man I had to meet now is Ashley Kadden, when did he get here? I walked to him and told him about the pollution in the river. He was surprised to see me too and he greeted me very nicely. He acknowledged my specimen and told me to get back his other scout. Her name was Merien and she was somewhere inside the Darkfire factory.

The factory was swarming with Darkfire troops and fighting them was my only option. It was worth it since my sword hasn't felt the touch of blood in awhile. I found Merien inside an old warehouse. She had similar clothing, the same that I had. Merien was quiet and looked like a person of patience and peace. She noticed my dress and told me that it was great to see me in a place like this. I agreed, seeing a non-contaminated person is great. She liked serving Ashley Kadden, but she had her own reasons. Her father worked here until it got poisoned. Her father died here as well, but his ghost still roams the land. His name was Capello LeBlanc. His ghost was actually right next to me. And so, with my majestic sword, sliced him away. This made Merien very happy to see her father finally rest in peace.

Defeating Capello LeBlanc

Her next quest for me was to was to report this information to Simias Lockfall. The Darkfires were re-exposing the poison in this factory. Simias was really far away and so the motorbike was the quickest way to get to him. Dirtbiking was really fun and none of the Darkfires could catch up to me. Once I found Simias, he was escaping the Darkfires. His quest was to defeat the Darkfires for him while he took a break.

The Darkfire Interceptors were heavily armed warriors with giants drills as their main weapons. I just needed to block the drills and attack at their core multiple times and that defeated them. After beating three Interceptors, Simias called me back and asked me to escort him to the next town. I accepted since that was where I was going. We had to meet Lemos Layir. The town was mostly empty but very big. There were railroad tracks that led as far as the eye could see in one direction and the other side was a dock. Lemos stood in the middle next to a teleport device. Lemos asked me to upgrade my Broken Arrow Energy Chip and report back to him. He then told me to collect some energy, and come back to recharge the Typhoon Assault. After that, Lemos handed me a carrier blueprint and told to get it built. This was going to be my carrier. My next quest was to go to Zinsen Island with my carrier. This was going to be quite nostalgic. I got into the portal and saw Magnus Wellington.

Collecting Energy

Magnus was delighted to see me again, alive and strong. He ordered me to get on a carrier and scout the area and find out the damage to our troops. Seeing the battle, I remembered my loss against the lava monster. The carrier dropped me off next to Magnus again. This time he ordered me to go into battle and defeat the Doomsday. I didn't know what Doomsday was but I went along with it.

Fighting with my carrier

I summoned my carrier and fought of multiple targets on my path to Doomsday. The carrier was super strong and had no problems getting past people. As I walking forward a meteor landed to the left of me. This was just like the lava monster I fought before. This must be Doomsday. I ran over to him and rapidly shot him. He was losing energy very fast but I was pushing the limits of my carrier. The carrier was breaking down a little bit, but so was Doomsday. I shot cannonballs and then Doomsday fell.

Fighting Doomsday

Other carrier arrived and finished Doomsday. I then got an alert that my teleport time was over and I was going back to the town. While we were cheering about our victory, I got teleported back to the town and met Lamos. I ended my day by getting my reward from Lamos. He told me that he needed to see me early the next day.
