It's been a day today, that's for sure!
I panicked, irrationally, for the first time since all the coronavirus stuff smacked us in the face. Some bozo MP said something about closing shopping centres and my brain zoomed into the fact that GROCERY STORES are in shopping centres and I ain't got shit. My partner, currently stuck overseas, bought me an e-giftcard and sent me off to the shops to grab a few things before my actual payday, my son got sent home from school because of an allergy cough, I'm officially locked inside, alone with him for God knows how long, and I freaked out.
Of course they're not closing grocery stores yet, I'm an idiot.
Anyway. To calm down a bit I decided to play a game.
Ten days ago I finally had a character left alive at the end of 
Today, without the blood, tears, and irrational fear of death, I decided to keep playing Kaelci the Immortal and see how far I could actually take her! 😃
Which turned out to not be very far and I'm glad I stopped when I did on the day of the competition. 😅
I don't know if other people have the same problem, but after opening Path of Exile I need to sit around and do nothing for anywhere between 2 and 5 minutes while waiting for things to load.
That floating head behind my character didn't manifest a body for a good while today and I was beginning to wonder if I should close the thing and reopen it when finally all was as it should be.
At last. After many impatient moments. It was time to continue on this Immortal legacy!
When I finished up on the day of the #poecomp, I had reached Piety's Portal and decided to call it a night. I didn't want to risk another proper boss fight when I had levelled up so much.
Turns out she wasn't really a proper boss fight.
I killed her in under 10 seconds.
And felt silly that I didn't just kill her on that night in question. 😅 Too easy, as my son would say.
Joining this corpse pile was not to be her fate!
After Piety's quick demise, Kaelci the Immortal braved torrential rain to find the high templar!
I'll be honest. I have no idea wtf the story is in this game and why I'm even searching for this guy. I have never really stopped to read the quests, listen to the dialogue, or pay attention to the random lore things you find in the wild.
I've read a couple of things. Like, the second time you come across that ghost pirate guy, what's-his-face, he has an amusing spiel about some whores or something. But other than that, I don't really know anything about this game except it's fun levelling a character and finding good loots.
And that it was made by Kiwis.
It's an Action RPG! I don't have time for story. 😂
So, Kaelci the Immortal braved the torrential rain and soon found herself atop the very rooftop her quarry stood upon.
She braved waves of random creatures with aplomb!
She braved Dominus the High Templar himself!
But then.
He transformed into a demon from the otherworld...
...and feasted on our Immortal's blood!
Want to know something funny?
Within two or three seconds of that death notice appearing on screen, apparently the Immortal's ballistas were still firing annnnd... this happened:
Ahh, too little too late! 😂
Kaelci the Immortal breathed her last and now all that's left is to await her successor when #poecomp begins once more in a few months.
I'm mostly just grateful I was able to get my mind out of the real world for a couple of hours today. 🙂🙃
Until next time,
Thanks for stopping by!
