Diary of Legrad the Picky
Diary of Legrad the Picky
Day 1: (CLICK ME)
I wake up next to Jarvis , he looks very disappointed cause he didn’t managed to hang me , some people collect post cards as a hobby , Jarvis on the other hand hangs people. John sends me on my first mission to deal with some guy with reviving superpowers , it turns out he cant revives himself. I carry his skull the entire time during Day 1 as a reminder to my enemy . Sybil Hart was worried for her brother , I found him ,this gigachad survived two nights against the zombies so people can retreat to Devils Crossing but at the end … I bring his amulet to Sybil , she didn’t said anything about his casque so I keep it for myself. Barnabas needs some scraps to repair the water pump I found a good bargain in Luther Graves shop ofc after I saved his greedy a** , Barnabas fixed the pump but the water runs green , he looks at me " Legrad , water is not usually green" , no s**t genius - water source is corrupted, totally normal. I go down there and found a very big slith that loves pranks but didn’t loves stones in the face. I wasn’t sure if fixing the water was good idea cause Edwin soup sucks( I don’t think he used the water after the pump fix) , I have to find a better cook in the wilderness . You wont believe it but I found Ulgrim and his soup was top ( may be because he didn’t touch Edwin water reserves) . John sends me to end Warden Krieg sadistic nature , his mansion looks way better than Devils Crossing even after I help them to repair the ceiling - I stole some laundry from the Burwitch Waterfront. Warden Krieg wasnt a challenge at all - Edwin’s soup hurts me the most in this entire journey. Stay tuned

Day 2 .I repair the bridge and go towards Old Arkovia to deal with local mafia ,Edmund “Shanks” famous for his skills with knife tried to kills me but stones have more range than kitchen knife. I visit the local mine asking gentle for a dynamite , Balthazar was a bit stingy and this cost him his life.I reach “heart” of the Cronley operation but there was some Pit show that I stopped to watch this mfs wasn’t happy and attacked me I leave them in dirt cause I am the real Pit Champion not some YouTuber called RektByprotoss. Rovers send me to deal with some bandit called “Moneybags” Martin I was broke at this point so nickname of this guy looks promising , he ends up broke as well only thing that I loot from his dead body was his welding helmet. I put my new helm look at the mirror I looked ridiculous ,drop off the helm and looked again - helm wasn’t the reason… Cronley was very chatty but I don’t have time to talk , cause I put this weird 24 h limit. Voldrak was easy , this Triple H wanna be and his club is unmatched for a toon with decisions taking problems. Found Ulgrim chilling with the homies in some random cliff , he ends up to be First Blade of the Emperor - cooking soup was his part time job to avoid taxes. I finally reached Homestead and rest a bit before next challenging day. Stay tuned

Day 3 start with Ulgrim lied to a very salty Black Legion Lady about my remarkable skills , when in fact I don’t have any skills. She shared that Legion is split on two fronts on the west Aetherials fights to bring their home back and on the east Occultists want to bring their God back. I decide to go west and kill some homeless guys , cause is too early for me to mess with cultists , after I solved Douglas bug problems and enter Ravna’s throne room armed with my fiery rocks just to realise her rocks are bigger and tax me half of my life bar , I was humbled. I decide to leave Homestead cause this place is very problematic and head to Pine Barrens to met another suspicious Black Legion Squad that wants from me to perform some animal cruelty ( I am start thinking Black legion are not exactly the good guys) , after I hunt down a spider , mythical creature and some mutated bush they asked me to kill some guy named Bloodfeast the Ruthless, I just told them to kill him by themselves, I decide to go back to Homestead and head towards east. Cultists of course are absolutely cheaters and hire a professional gunslinger to kills me , found Bolvar chilling behind some trees , he pulls two very cool glowing revolvers and I pull some random rocks that I steal from a Black Legion’s fence, if never watched old 90s Schwarzenegger’s action movies Bovar certainly did and never reloads his guns for the entire fight , after few 20% life moments I take him down. I arrived in Darkvale village , something immediately felt off about this place I don’t know if its because the fact I found several people hanging on a hooks in the local Bath or is just a 6th sense. Zaria’s hospitality was top notch she invites me to touch her crystals but I am old school and I don’t touch crystals on a first date ( on top of that my wife sometimes reads my bullshits ) , I just rejected this nice lady again using stones . I enter Darkvale gate one of the cultists headquarters and start throwing rocks and after that asking questions , reaching the head office of the building to have a word or two with the owner - Karroz. I won the argument simply because my arguments was stable as a rock , but this mf sold his soul to a Thall’nosh a demon 3 times bigger than me I was on the way just to use Riftgate but this salty Black Legion lady seems scarier so I stand my ground against this tentacles maniac. Homestead in conclusion was more problematic than my ex but I somehow survive to see the light of Day 4. Stay tuned

Day 4: (CLICK ME)
I wake up in Homestead , I have a wee chat with Creed and he told me to met him in Fort Ilkon and after that he opens a portal and I was “Thanks god , I don’t have to walk” but this Luminari noob can cast portal only with two seats and he picks Ulgrim over me ( I read his journal , apparently Creed is big fan of Ulgrim) . I packed my stuff and arrived at Asterkan valley , watching Cutists and Aetherials fight looks just right . I don’t know why people still cant believe in Big Foot , I killed at least 50 of them , I decide to take a break and visit Kymons hideout after all they hired me and I cant just phone sick . They end up totally against Necromancers and want from me to bring some Urn with ashes , I didn’t expect to be send on the field during my first day of employment , also they gave me some disturbing papers to sign in case if I loose a limb or two. I arrived at Tomb of the Watchers which is serious false advertisement cause not a single Watcher inside only Necromancers and calcium heavy guys , Malkadar ends up a really cool guy (literally) , he tried to die several times but Order of Deaths Vigil brings him back cause he has no more holidays left , I have to kill him and this probably will count as an unpaid leave by company standards. Kymon was very happy seeing the Ashes , looking at his red eyes , he definitely smoke that but I am not here to judge , he gave me very important mission to go deep into the void and slay Bane’Gargoth , I have zero problems with second part of this name but first one sounds like a pain to me , so I politely refuse.My job with Kymon was done so I reached Fort Ilkon and have to secure the Riftgate there meanwhile Ulgrim and Creed drinking afternoon tea with a view when I hardly try to survive Aetherial hordes that comes of this portal. Creed mentioned they needs explosives to blow the barricade but explosives were stolen by Commander Lucius , I knew it Black legion are not exactly the good guys , nobody mentioned Lucius has been corrupted by the aetherials and now his size matching a tank , this communication problems will get me killed, after 5 mins running for my life I managed to kill him and took his arm as a trophy but being broke I decide to sell it to the local Auction House , they offered 3000 bits for an Arm that’s spawns meteors - daylight robbery. Necropolis aka Emperium biggest secret they did a lot of dirty stuff here , I secure the riftgate and Ulgrim pop up with the phrase “Took you long enough” ofc it tooks me long enough moron cause I teleport your lazy a** the whole campaign- meanwhile me walking. I dispatched the “brain” after cultists operations - Lord Thalonis , do I have to mention Ulgrim didn’t help at all. I wasn’t prepare for what’s come next a Kraken like monster waiting for me in that phone cabin like room , Ulgrim lead the charge and was consumed by the void , good news are next time I ll teleport with Creed , after a long battle I managed to survive and win. I go back to Fork Ilkon with the good and the bad news and suddenly John pops up out of nowhere beaten with some chick next to him - very suspicious. John put some insight by telling a story about Devils Crossing being attacked by an aetherial monster and they got their a***s beaten - I am not surprised to be fair this retards cant fix a water pump on their own what’s left to stand their ground against a golem. John shares another bad news - our spirit guide Sadhina lost her life during the monster sealing and now I cant respec my skill points … I am not sure what next day gonna brings but heading to Malmouth already sounds problematic.

Day 5 start at Fort Ilkon , Creed decide to communicate with the void but connection failed I think Wi-Fi wasn’t very good , after that he hands me a rusty pan and told me to find Ulgrim - do I look like a tracing dog , how this second hand pan will help me. Creed shares valuable intel I have to reach a secret Witch camp and probably I have to keep my mouth shut about the fact I burn one of them back at Blood Grove…Packed my stuff and of course took the pan , I reached Gloomwald beautiful place - cannibals , man eater plants , Wendigos and mosquitos. Behind the large trees I found a pub (finally cold beer) , reading the inhouse journal I realized owner drug his guests and send them to village called Barrowholm , I don’t like this company policy so immediately leave before the owner offers me a drink , but what they do with all this people in this village? I finally reached Coven , the way witches looked at my off - hand means they didn’t saw a man for awhile , I have to change my chestplate and pants outside of the camp it seems. Dwelling deep into the jungle I met Mogdrogen , he asked me to clean his garden - world is on fire and this mf thinks about his garden , instead of helping I just showed him the same thing Gar’Dalvur showed to his executioners. Finally proper advertisement in this journey , Tomb of Ugdall use to have one Ugdall inside - unfortunately I banished him and now is just a tomb without tourist’s value. Barrowholm was north from Ugdenbog a very nice aroma of fresh boiled soup fills the air I found the house hoping for some good hospitality and manners , Terise offers me a bowl of this magnificent soup I asked her for the recipe so I can give it to this food criminal Edwin , out of curiosity I read it - now I have the answers what happened to pub guests… I decide to not give this to Edwin even if I am tempted to put Barnabas and Jarvis inside the cauldron. Local major Scorv and his smiley face unsettled me a bit , he offers me a friendship (at this point I have enough creepers as a friends but Terise was nice to me so I accepted) and ask for a favor to repair some wooden planks , bring back home few lost tourists and clear his mine from the pests. I reached deep into the mine and Naxen Shade pops out - its a crab and its a ghost , I use my riftgate I deal with enough bs also they didn’t mentioned him in the quest objectives. Scorv was really happy ( this creepy smile though ) and request the head of Larria , I spared her cause this will help with my karma since I burn one witch already. I found Scorv and his homies dressed like characters from Sesame Street - I saw a lot of perverts in my life but this was on another level. I have enough of this so I grab the Ugdenbog Fetish and bring it to the witches so they can do their mojo , all of this was just to tell me Ulgrim is inside the void something that I already knew . Another red globe portal , another Chtonics problems but this time is big , have wings, spawn fire waves and volcanoes - demons fight dirty. Thankfully my strategy of mostly running around a big rock ,crying and occasionally throw fiery rocks + some Kymon vials paid off and I was victorious. Found Ulgrim in his nature position for this journey - doing absolutely bloody nothing. Me and him have an agreement to reach Malmouth , I am a bit worried cause he looks out of his mind and after all the stuff I am going through me as well. Stay tuned

Day 6: (CLICK ME)
Day 6 : For the first time I saw Ulgrim walking , because I can’t cast RIfts in the Void , but the moment we saw daylight he just told me to port his lazy a** when I secure Malmouth Outskirts rift and they called him First Blade of the Emperor - I swear the Imperator gives positions just by showing him ID. I managed to end up in the middle of battlefield called Mourndale , after serious amount of slaughter I recognized a familiar face - Daila. She told me her father is the most strongest Necromancer ever walked in this Earth and his brother goes after his steps and plan to consume 1000 souls at the Necropolis ( I knew it Nicolas Cage should burn this cursed San Venganza contract , now another retard is after this souls) , Daila begs me to stop him I politely ask her “Am I a Ghost Rider to you?” , I just have enough stuff to deal with I cant deal with Uroboruuk’s bad parenthood. I go back to my usual routine exterminate hordes of aetherials that spawn from a rift and after that teleport the most laziest assassin that ever exist , Ulgrim seems in a mood he told me the only way to Malmouth is through the Sewers ( I have been already in a lot of shit places but at least wasn’t literally ) , I go down there and this place was infested with more tentacles than a 18+ hentai manga , however after few brutal kills and very strange scene of four turtles and a rat running into the shadows I managed to reach Malmouth Hideout . I flashed my wallet with my Black Legion badge in front of Wilford’s face ( cause this is every man dream) but this old fart ruins the whole moment by telling me , he never heard about it. I told this caveman to start using social medias , however he gives me very suspicious quest to destroy few wagons with dead Malmouth soldiers , because instead of gave them proper honorable burial they want from me to incinerate them - I smell money laundry scheme with the local Funeral agency , corruption is everywhere and I don’t spoke about the Aetherials…Ulgrim said to me I have to fix the bridge so Creed can enter the hideout I asked him " Why this Gandalf wanna be doesn’t walk through the Sewers ?" - end up Creed didn’t want steins on his shiny Luminari robe , I swear I’ll strangle this imbeciles the moment I don’t need them. I found the bridge and the gates , at this point Aetherials run out of nicknames cause guardian that guards the gates was named “Guardian of the Gates” , after a long fight I killed him and release the bridge so the most useless Inquisitor can walk in , WALK IN. I asked this charlatan why he doesn’t use some flashy rune or artefact to fly over the gates , he shared valuable information- there is no power in his runes because he forgot his charger in Fort Ilkon… I met Korina - she wasn’t very impressed by me , I don’t know why she is so picky is not like she is Jessica Alba or something , to achieve her trust I should bring back some supplies - as far as I know Wilford this supplies are not exactly supplies… Wilford ask me if I can use explosives , I told him " Don’t worry , pal my Demolition team application was declined but I was in the same prison cell with Leander “Blackwater” Greene and he is a legend among Demolitionists (not in a good way ) " , thankfully Wilford is more naive than 5 years old toddler. I was very confident but backdraft blows half of the bridge as well (after all my mentor has a wanted poster on every tree back at Burwitch) , thankfully Crown Hill has a rift so Ulgrim didn’t noticed bridge is missing. Ulgrim takes a nice seat and send me to deal with some vents , it seems Malmouth’s HVAC team was in lunch break so I have to deal with their bs instead of saving the world. I go deeper into the Fleshwork just to met another old friend - Krieg . This guy has more lives than a cat , but that didn’t stopped me to reduce this lives count , after I show Krieg who is the Taken , I prepared myself for the most brutal fight in my life . Aetherials named Theodin Marcell with the very controversial nickname “Master of Flesh” and of course he is big, ugly and with multiple limbs , sometimes I miss good old times in Lower Crossing when my enemies were my size , on the bright side the only thing that didn’t tried to kills me in this room is the door - crystals zapped me , Theodin casts every possible bs from the whole Harry Potter franchise , even audience behind him jump on me like is a hockey game , after a long fight I defeat him and took his pulsing heart - local auction house offers 1344 iron bits for the heart of the most dangerous Malmouth’s enemy . Moral of the story auction houses at the middle of Apocalypse just s*cks , before I leave I saw valuable treasure on the shelfs- Finger of Gar’Dalvur I exchange this for the Wilford’s “supplies” ( I’ll just told him Aetherials smoke it already ) , I want to show my new item first to Ulgrim and after that to Creed (multiple times).

I was shocked when wake up next to Jarvis and told him " Jarvis drop this rope , nobody is gonna be hanged today , pal" . I am not sure what is going on but the more I explore Devils Crossing the more I realize I fall in some weird time loop ( the biggest proof for that is the fact I have a nice chat with Sadihna ). I just stepped out of the prison for fresh air and two guys with a very strange car approach me and asked me if there is any signs of storms cause they need apparently a thunderbolt to recharge their car (very suspicious ) , I told them just to wait 5 mins cause everybody in this world rolls Warder and gently ask one of them to hit the car with Primal Strike - I am pretty sure this two weirdos have something to do with this time loop but I cant prove it. After this random encounter is time to safe the world again. I found Faldis fighting for his life surrounded by one Zombie and two cockroaches , I slapped him behind the neck and told him to grow some balls its f***in Apocalypse , you cant be bested by insects and kick him inside the RIft. I go on a zombie hunt and killed a lot of this walkers , I always feel guilty about Milton cause he died like a hero ( not like this lite version man - Faldis) . Barnabas was very surprised when I bring him the scraps before he even ask for them , he asked me “How do you know?” and I told him I can see in the future . He was very skeptical so I bet him for 3000 iron bits the moment we fix the pump water will runs green - easy money. I jump down and killed this filthy Slith but this time I skinned the lizard and tell Angrim to craft for me shoes and stamp it with a little lizard emblem , I want to safe the world with style this time. I managed to stole a relic from Creed , that will allows me to cast Fire ray and scream " Unlimited POWEEER" (cause this is every man dream). John waiting for one of his scouts like usual and this time I know why we waiting for so long , cause the scout is not anyone else than this snail - Mornay. I approached this scoundrel Direini and we make a deal cause I know later on he will be rewarded with nice equipment by Cronley and not the rags he has now. I intentionally left Ulgrim in the swamps cause I don’t want to teleport this lazy skunk again the whole journey , but shortly after I come back for him cause Edwin’s soup upset me and my stomach. I managed to help again with the prison’s ceiling but his time I stole all the curtains from Krieg’s Mansion , cause dead mans don’t need curtains. I shocked Krieg with my entrance cause I asked him if he plans to show me his true power , after he bites the floor I go back to the Prison and tell John to stock some painkillers and eventually take the coffin measurements for Sadihna… I just cant wait to go on a bandit killing spree and loot Direini’s new stuff . Stay tuned

Another day in filled with slaughter and bad decisions . I managed to repair the bridge again and it’s time to show Shank why bringing knife vs relic is a bad idea , air was filled with a smell of burning criminals ( I should steal this relic earlier). This time I visit Spine Cove for some Ghostbusters roleplay - we have ghosts and I have laser ray , I need some fun after all in this time loop hole .Rovers send me to find their Elder , when you are 70 years old its not good idea to take a walk around cursed ruins , I found him surrounded by army of skeletons ( well not as bad as Faldis situation after all two cockroaches and a zombie are much scarier) , it was too late for him but Rovers didn’t care much cause their Elder signed life insurance papers before the walk ( very suspicious) . I reached The Pit I wasn’t in a mood for dying so I sneak through to the champions but saw few bandits in a cages I release them just to kill them at least they died as a free people ( I try to do some good stuff for my karma) . I am still curious why they called Martin a “Moneybags” everytime I kill this guy there is neither money , neither bags . Cronley didn’t expect me so I start zapping him but he knows some mojo to apply a force field on himself and after that he wave his hand and told me " These are not the criminals you are looking for" , but I am just born to make disturbance into the Force and mop the floor with this glowing maniac. I finally reached Old Arkovia a very beautiful place -ruins , tons of calcium and golems. I overthink about something and I can’t get the answer " Is it count as a homicide if everything I kill here is already dead ?" cause philosophy is my second nature . I found Elsa and she had different story about Mornay , I don’t like old creepers so I just tell him to go after her so trolls can decide his fate , later I come back to see the result of my evil plan and found his body ( as I said I have karma to fix) . Voldrak was as ugly as I remembered him , he tries his best to install me into the ground but he messed up with the wrong guy after all I saved the world once but nobody remembered this so I have to write my name again in the history. Finally daylight and just a moment of joy , until I saw Ulgrim so called First Blade of the Emperor , if I was the Emperor - Ulgrim will not qualify even for the First Nail Clipper. I have to jump inside another cave to deal with trogs and tons of insects cause after all somebody has to do the whole work so Ulgrim and Creed- take all the credits . Stay tuned

I reached Homestead , Douglas use to have the same problems with some bugs infesting his land , Ulgrim sends me again to have a chat with this salty black legion lady but this time I flashed my wallet with my Black Legion badge and she was speechless . Inquisitor Creed looked at my relic with the words " I have exactly the same , how did you get an Inquisitor’s relic?" I told him I won it on a poker game . I don’t have time for so much chat so I packed my stuff and reached Royal Hive , a queen waiting for me and I am gentleman can’t be late , after I set the whole place in fire was time to face to face the greatest Aetherials creation - a two headed cow. I decided to go to Pine Barrens for more animal cruelty because Black legion are not the good guys definitely , Mogara wasn’t in a mood so the whole fight I basically just run and scream (cats are mean ,man) , Ungoliax wasn’t match for me I am already an expert bug exterminator thanks to Douglas problems and mutated bush was burned to pile of ashes . Black legion wanted to send me again to deal some dangerous guy so I told them firmly " Look guys I don’t deal with targets that have in the name - Ruthless , Bane , Pain , Maneater , Korvaak , Loxmerre , Grava , Maiden , Zantarin , Kuba , Unseen , Archmage , Corrupted and similar " I hand them the list and told them to stop with this bs . I go back to Homestead and Ulgrim told me I have to choose a sect , I immediately pick this burning fanatics Kymon’s chosen the only problem is white robes are always harder to clean but they sell nice explosive vials which tickles my arsonist’s soul. I read Daila’s journal was quite boring to be fair , so I told her next time to write a bit more about her family they seem a cool guys , it’s not like they are Necromancers or something . Stay tuned

Another day in Homestead surrounded by Black Legion , a charlatan inquisitor , useless assassin and Douglas . The Black legion gave me a task to deal with the local Wind Mill I asked them what’s the problem there and they replied " Nothing serious just few dozens of demons and few gangs of cultists that want to drain all of your blood " seems like a normal day so far … I know cultist playing dirty and they bring professional gunslinger so this time I come prepared I am armed with confidence and my fire laser so I entered Blood Grove and screamed " Bolvaaar ,come and face your executioner " when he showed up with this rain of bullets and dark magic and in my mind I was " Damn ,even if I kill him , I will never be that cool " . Fight between us was more epic than the fight at Helms Deep when Gandalf arrived on “First Light on the Fifth Day" , after few heart stopping moments I defeat him and took his pistols as a trophy I lack some cunning and skills to use it but I always can throw them at the enemy. Kymon’s Chosen has a bounty for Bolvar but they want him alive for some interrogation - again miscommunication. I don’t like this fanatics something is cooked and I think is the world , they praise Empyrion but I think Kymon did some dark pact I just can’t prove it ( having an eldritch entity at the back office might be a sign), anyways I am interested in their iron bits I am not here to judge. They send me to storm Fort Haron , me a one man army incinerate every Necromancer on sight and all of their minions when reached person in charge - Ravok . This powerful Necromancer summons knights , when regular Necromancer summons a skeletons from Biology discipline classes ( I assumed Ravok go to a private school ) , anyways he is no match for me and my relic so I showed him why fire is better than the bs he casts at me . I bringed his leg as a proof to Kymon’s they were shocked and ask me why I bring the leg and I told them " Everyone bring a head and I want to be unique so I can write my name in Cairn’s History " . Zaria tried to seduced me again with her big crystals , but I don’t want to end up on a hook at the local bath so I turned her from a chick to a hot chick ( literally). Darkvale Gate is not a place that you want to be , demons and cultists everywhere and every single one of them wants to feast on your bones . I killed reasonable amount of them when reached head office of the building , Karroz was there so I told him " Release Thal’nosh ,pal I don’t have time to deal with some wizzard in a red robe that looks similar to my primary school pijamas " . Bad guys never listened so I have to beat the s**t out of him and after that Thal’nosh ripped him apart , was a long and tedious fight a lot of tentacles pinched me but I finally I was victorious and use a phrase from a Necromancer that defeat one of the Prime Evils" Good journey Thal’Nosh, send my regards to the Abyss" I just have to say it. My journey to Fort Ilkon was a mixture of Yeti , Aetherials , Cultists , Grobles and some insects slaughter ( I killed few necromancers just to not lose the skills). Finally I reached the point when I have to secure Fort Ilkon’s Rift again without zero support from the other people that will take all the credit for the world saving ( behind every Legendary assassin and every High Luminari Inquisitor is a guy that fight for his life and try to survive to the next day).

I wake up at Fort Ilkon sleeping on the floor is not good experiences , there is just one bed but someone fights for his life on top of it so … Black legion Commander Lucius this stealing scoundrel took away the explosives for same wild rave party down at the Fort Ilkon prison , also Black Legion planned to send supplies to Homestead but now they want them for themself - selfish criminals. I go down there cause I can’t resist fight a Aetherial abomination with four legs and cannon instead of arm , just later to sell this arm for 3 000 iron bits , it’s not like I can drink tea with Ulgrim and Creed - they have the tea , me having a burning energy meteors in the face. Commander Lucius hospitality is awful man , I want to make my usual entrance with some dump phrase but he start blasting on a sight - this corrupted retard ruins the whole moment. I punished him really hard for this disrespect and after that took his arm for a profit and his leg as a proof , Creed was shocked when I bringed him a left foot ( why everybody is shocked man , you need proof here it is , damn it ) . I think this lazy people influence affects me in a bad way , I have zero desire to fight Chtonics , can we just pay to a priest or exorcist , why have to be me ? I packed my stuff and straight to Necropolis , I read once again all journals and realised that Emperium are not the good guys either , they hired architect and his team to build the biggest Necropolis to hide some corrupted barrels and after that seal all the builders and dispatch the architect just to avoid paying them . Tomb of the Watchers seems like a place that you don’t want to go in , everything that move here wants to rips you apart . Me and Thalonis started our duel with a lot of curses and some curse words as well , I don’t like him - he is one of this imbeciles that will bring to life ancient god for pure world destruction meanwhile Thalonis lives in the same world … Ulgrim showed up when everything over of course , I handled him the right foot of Thalonis to make him useful and we charged into the smallest room ever trapped with Kraken . Ulgrim fight very well the entire minute before he got consumed by the void ( this retard forgets to throw Thalonis leg now I cant take the bounty …) , I was alone but stand my ground to the very end and stop the full Chthon’s awakening , thankfully there is no bounty for Loghorrean cause there is no legs to pick up. I go back to Creed , me standing in front of him barely alive and he was worried about Ulgrim , John on the hand did a hot take with the words " Ulgrim is dead " - finally someone with common sense.

Beautiful day in Gloomwald , the only worst thing of someone trying to kills you is someone that wants to eats you. I really want a cold drink at this point so I head to the local Pub but first I killed the owner cause I don’t want to end up in Terise’s Cauldron … After a few pints I was ready to go deeper into the jungle , Coven witches use to have a movie night they watched “50 shades of Grey” wasn’t the best moment to introduce myself so I sneak out of the camp before becoming slave. Janaxia was totally crazy , but Coven use to have bounty for her leg so was my time to shine . I visited my old friend Ugdal and his tomb this time I released him so we can start business together with this haunting tomb , he offers 60% of the profit for him but I showed him again the Conflagration and he cuts it to 50% ( negotiation is my second nature , killing sprees are my first ). I found the lost witches surrounded by cannibals , after I incinerate the whole camp ,I asked them how they can get lost in their own territory and it was the same old story one of them said to the others " Girls I know a shortcut" … Terise’s hospitality is the best thing in this forgotten place , she offered to me a bowl of soup and I just pretend I don’t know what’s the ingredients … I have my casual meeting with this creeper - Scorv . Man I just want to delete this smile but I need to stick with them cause this is the only place that prepare decent food . After I repair the Totems and clean the mine , I found another lost group and I was " Don’t tell me ,I am pretty sure one of you proposed a shortcut" which reminds of a friend of mine who shares with me that he lost a lot of people and I was " Are they dead or what ?" and he was " No , I am a tour guide " … I bringed the Fetish to coven witches and I don’t want to know what they plan to do with it , they do their mojo again to turn Ulgrim’s rusty pan to a GPS so I can find this nerd .Stay tuned

Day 13: (CLICK ME)
I dived deep into this cursed Chthonic portal to save the most " powerful" assassin in Cairn … Big boys here seem very angry at me they chase me with this big axes and I am pretty sure its not because they want to gift me one . Compare to Ekket’Zul I look like Rey Mysterio in his handicap match against teamed up Big Show , The Great Kali and Mark Henry - I stopped watching WWE when Rey won this match … FIght was tedious cause demons are born in fire and I pick to attack them with fire (high IQ move ) , I was almost hopeless when suddenly some random smoking guy with Dragonbreath gun pops up and annihilates Ekket , after that ask me if I know where is the “Spear of Destiny " I ask him " Is this Korvan Halberd good enough ?” - apparently it wasn’t … I warn him smoking is a bad habit but he already knew that and he shares his soul is already doomed ( somehow I attract this creepy guys first Scorv, now this man ) . Time to slap some senses to Ulgrim cause he mumbling something about his mother and the Emperor , so I told him " Look lazy f**k we have to move on , vacation is over and Malmouth is on fire while you sitting and chilling here " . I secured the Malmouth Outskirt rift , I fight so many enemies that day that I would be very grateful if people that are named " First Blade of the Emperor" and High Inquisitor Creed actually help me , cause you expect this guys to be badass not just ass… However was time for Sewers - nice and smelly down here I dont know what Malmouth people eating but they need better diet , this place stinks , man. I found detonation side and I was curious to see what treasure is on the other side , unfortunately no treasure at all just Aetherial Golem with the size of Optimus Prime , so I just said " Sorry for disturbance , have a nice day" and pop into my rift . Wilford wasn’t impressed again when I flash my Black Legion’s badge , so I have to explained again the entire plan cause this old nerd is completely disconnected from the world. This time I took a shower and visited the local barber just to be a bit more attractive to Korina but she doesn’t care , I think ruthless mass killer it’s not exactly her type… Wilford wants his supplies back so desperately so this tickles my curiosity and the moment I gather the supplies I checked inside and there is just feet pictures (very suspicious hobby collecting this ). Korina sends me to deal with Blackhiron Docks , infestation there was massive so I lead the charge with the last Malmouth soldiers while screaming " This is Malmouth" and kicked one of the enemies to the water (cause this is every man - dream) . I placed the explosives in Crown Hill with the nostalgia and founding memory of the Leander “Blackwater” Greene’s words " It’s not big explosion if there is no innocent casualties " ( I am start thinking this is how he ends up in the prison )… Malmouth HVAC team was on a lunch break again so I have to clear again some vents , why Ulgrim wants this vents to be cleared ( I think the Void affects him in a mysterious ways) . I found Krieg , he used the same bs that so without hesitation I dispatched him and burn the whole maternity ward ( I will never forgive Aetherials for this scene ) . I clashed with Theodin Marcell but was badly wounded so I have to retreat , like we said in my culture " Better to be sheep thats alive than a dead lion …" , I need to recover and came back stronger to finish this tyrant. Stay tuned
