Listen now:

What we did in game:
Sallennia


Um… PAX and the PAX plague...


FINALLY finished Queens Gambit!  We now know our failures were ALL CHRIS’ FAULT.


Random Experts…Empyrean Core, Storm Breaker Protocol, Exodus of the storm queen


Questing in Dendrome

Chris


Experts! Ran through Tower of the Shattered and a couple of other dungeons getting a slew of achievements.


Daily quests in Dendrome. Still trying to get a lay of the land. I feel a little like Ember Isle, which I also felt continually lost in.


New chronicle. Did not go so well… Ooops, someone hit the Hard Mode button.


Still no new instance. Hopefully this week.
