Day 7 - Weekend @ Darkshore

Seems a lot harder to set aside some time to play on the weekend with life constantly happening, so this is a collection of things I did throughout the weekend. I took the time to explore the corners of Darkshore more, in the pursuit of quest completion of course, throughout various times of the day. In the south it seems that the bears are a little more ornery!
One of the problems with these screen shots is sometimes it's so hard to judge the scale of things. If you look closely you can see normal sized mobs down below this massive sword. Who knows who used this sword, maybe I'll find out one day.
Near the large sword in southside Darkshore was small mine. It didn't appear to be working anymore, most likely due to the golems running around attacking anyone in the area. These guys were around level 20-22, but annoying for me as a rogue since they were immune to stun. That means I can't do my stun then run around and stab you in the back move.
I swear I saw the same owl this weekend at my buddy Chris' house. He was having an Octoberfest (not Brewfest) but you get the idea. Good sausages, but I'm not a beer guy.
Darkshore is, as the name implies, largely shoreline! So I have to get in the water and find all the little goodies in there. Not everything in the ocean was welcoming though...
This elf just kissed my butt all day long for finding the remains of those large animals (like the sea turtle shown above). I don't know what he got out of it, but as you can see in the picture Kaens wasn't interested.
Time to start exploring the farthest reachest of the north side. I love being a rogue. I snuck past this guy and killed his boss, looted the corpse, THEN he comes running in like he's going to do something. Unfortunately for him, I'd already disappeared.
The female to male ratio of bandits up north was insane. It's not much of a surprise that all the ladies, having not seen a real man, were constantly falling over themselves to get to me!
Some didn't take my rejection so well. Don't cry!
One of the last quests I did in Darkshore was to kill Murkdeep. My research told me he was at this camp, but when I arrived he wasn't there. "Hmm, okay I'll kill these placeholders until he arrives." So I carefully kill the entire camp, pulling them one at a time, and get ready for the respawns. Only they didn't come, instead a wave of four critters comes racing out of the ocean and jumps me! Now I'm a rogue not a f'n tank so I barely survived that assault. Having learned my lesson I moved out of the center off camp just in time to avoid another wave that came racing out of the ocean looking for me. This time that old troublemaker Murkdeep was with them and I took them out on my own terms. It was easier when
Having exhausted all the quests I could do now in Darkshore, it was time to take another flight and prepare to explore another zone next time!
