Altered plans through the holy order and quests
Note: Apologies for being a day late with part 17, I uploaded my donkey kong video and did the post, forgetting it was wednesday as I had 4 hours sleep, so I am bringing you this now.
Finally the time has come for Octharg to be an official member of The Holy Order along with his ritual comrade, where he is the first stranger but also the chosen one to help them be victorious in stopping the world's ending.
It was not part of his grand plan to overcome everyone and everything and it will alter the course taken and when he will be getting there, but he is certain of the destruction to be caused as the final part of the plan.
"In time you will all be destroyed and I will wreak havoc amongst all the villages and cities around Enderal, you shall all suffer as I have!"
He had been eagerly waiting to leave Ark and so he finally was doing just that, leaving Ark once more to head out.
"Now that the ceremony has been completed and I can move on, I can get to completing more quests and I better get them done as soon as I can because I have had some of them for a while" Octharg said while running along a path from Ark.
After a long run and getting to a cave called the Rock Shelter, it was time to complete this quest to find Kritos and kill him, to slay the evil he brings upon the world.
It starts off easy with runaway prisoners to deceive adventurers and questers from know the real power through the cave.
This was soon changed a little further in...
There were Wild Mages and many of them, which turned out to be easier now the extra levels helped to strengthen Octhargs power and damage output. He started making light work of them all and watching them die right before his eyes.
"Well this is turning into one of the easiest caves I have had to explore. Look at these poor fools, trying to survive a deadly blast of magic."
And after getting passed multiple of them it was then time to take out Kritos who was unaware of Octhargs presence, allowing damage to be dealt before he even got a chance to attack back. It made the fight super quick and easy.
"Your time is over now, Kritos. You had no idea who I was and what I was capable off, nor did you know I was behind you! Haha, not sorry for giving you no chance at winning this fight but I will gladly enjoy your equipment and loot and turning this quest in." Octharg said as he laughed and finished him off.
Luckily for him, this place gave out some great experience and indeed leveled Octharg up to 18 where he is now becoming apprentice and higher at his magic and abilities. This made him a lot happier as he still has a bit to go in order to achieve that high power he wants again.
Another twenty minutes or so was spent to ensure everything good was looted and no more enemies were around before heading back outside, to move toward the next quests location. The path led to a detour along a river to enjoy the walk through water and the waterfall at the end, but this of course was meaning quickly disposing of a King Crab and a Lost One, no challenge but annoying in this time of relaxation.
Once Octharg had enjoyed a sit down by the waterfall and was ready to go, he moved back down the river and headed back up the path which first led him to Old Damwatch, somewhere dangerous for his mental state and increases arcane fever due to those crystals being around the site, but a quick clear and looting the chest inside ensures less arcane fever hits.
"Now I have to use another damn Ambrosia potion to clear out some of this arcane fever. It's definitely a burden being a magic user when you get affected by it, well at least I do a lot more due to my extra abilities."
Old Damwatch was what leads over to Fortress Fogwatch where the next quest is located, to find some lost research pages and some ingedients. It was now accessible through this awesome looking forest that only had some tough wolves plus some extra Lost Ones to be beaten. Of course Fortress Fogwatch was going to be a massive challenge and it is filled with nasty, strong mages and lots of enemies so it might take time and strategy, many deaths too in order to complete the dreadful place.
"For now I will enjoy this nice forest sort of area and see where Fortress Fogwatch is and decide what to do" he pondered as he walked along.
"Here it is... Fortress Fogwatch and it looks like a lot of people are definitely home. It is a daunting feeling, knowing I am having to clear it out soon and it's bigger than it looks from here as well... I guess I should head back to the nearby village a short run away, get some thinking done on strategies, then rest and come back tomorrow or the day after" Octharg said to himself with doubts in his mind and with good reason.
This was part 17 in a series accompanying Octharg The Destroyer on his journey to regain his lost power and become the destroyer he once was.
Stay tuned for part 18 and see what befalls our villain.
