The Great Southern Migration - An Invitation

[theStormWeaver]

Today at 8:30 Central time (U.S.) 4 members of Koinonia Emporou will be gathering near the starting villages to begin a great migration toward Blackwood Glade. I'm offering for anyone who wants to move from the starting areas on to the southern part of the map to come along for all or part of the journey.

Since BWG is many hexes away, It will likely take a couple of hours, and thus we may need to do this over two or three attempts, depending on various participants schedules.

In the interest of not leaving anyone stuck in the middle of the wilderness, we'll probably be quitting whenever the first person has to leave. We'll try to end each leg of the journey in a town, so we can continue in smaller groups if scheduling makes it difficult for everyone to come on at the same time again.

Look for a wizard named Gismar (that's me) in Marchmont. With luck the other three will also be in Marchmont, but if not the first leg of the journey might just be getting everyone to the same place. If we need to get everyone together first, we'll group up in Rathglen and Marchmont and then head to The Iron Gauntlet before moving on to BWG.

We'll be on the T7V's Team Speak server for chat.

It's about a half hour from TK to Blackwood Glade. I've been across most of the map and the only walk that felt really long was all the way from Tavernhold to Hammerfall, especially since I took the South Road. Might drop in and hang out with you guys.

A fun thing about alpha is unlimited sprinting (CTRL toggle). Just steer around big blobs of red dots and trips like this are relatively quick and painless, roughly two minutes per hex.

...or much longer if you can't resist the siren-call of nearby un-guarded nodes and singleton monsters.

The nodes, the call to me in my dreams.

Except I don't need MORE Blood Nettle and Gentain.

We got there in mostly one piece once Avari and someone else named Locas Took joined us as escort and we stopped attacking every single mob group that we crossed paths with.

Afterward Avari tagged along with two of us that decided to keep playing as we wandered neighboring hexes for kills and nodes.

We even managed to destroy a goblin camp with an Ogre Clubhand on a hill between Blackwood and the settlement marked as Arkhaven on this map http://file3.guildlaunch. net/402055/testMap004.png
