Brother Wolf's Quest (Pt. 2)

Ahoy Pirates,

I'm blogging again? Yes.. I actually have something to blog about and that something is Edward Cringle continuing to quest through part two of Brother Wolf's quest. Yesterday I turned in a quest by bringing meat to Brother Wolf, the guardian I summoned. I had to summon him by bring meat from bumbaloons. After I summoned him he told me he wouldn't help me unless I helped him with something. He wanted me to help Silver Rain move on to the Spirit world by talking to Sister Snake. Silver Rain was poisoned by Three Scars by Sister Snake's venom and he wants me to help Silver move on because he was her protector but couldn't protect her from that. Brother Wolf thinks that Sister Snake has the power to help her move on. Yesterday I talk to Sister Snake and she told me that she couldn't help me unless I had a Ghost Tear and Grumwort Herb to make a balm. This balm can help Silver Rain move on if I find the two ingredients for it. Yesterday I stop blogging when I had to talk to Madame Vadima for more help.

Once I arrived in the Witchdoctor School to talk to Madame Vadima she somehow knew I was on my way. I almost forgot she had a crystal ball, I guess that's how Witchdoctors are.... Cool :D. Madame Vadima told me that I could find a Ghost Tear in the Isle Of Doom in Skull Island but I have to fight a Sorcerer that is protecting it and doesn't want to give it up. She thinks.. LOL. I just read that in a picture I have from yesterday, wow that's funny! She also told me that she doesn't know where I could find Grumwort but she would help me find it when I fight the Sorcerer that might be protecting the Ghost Tear that might be there but she did say she thinks there is. I'm wondering how she knew I was going to be there to ask her for the two things but didn't know if there was a Sorcerer or not. I guess we'll see when we get there. :D x acts like I'm sailing my ship there x Once I arrived I noticed that there was a boss fight but it wouldn't be difficult because I had help from another pirate! I think that's the first time I met someone while questing on the same exact quest on Pirate101.. at least on this character.

I really do love that hat, Sarah.. I mean.. We started fighting the sorcerer that was there so I guess Vadima was right about someone protecting the ghost tear! We had no trouble defeating the enemies, it took about 10 minutes to defeat all them since there were quite a few of enemies to defeat but none of our companions died and we were safe! It was pretty fun. After defeating the enemies and collecting the ghost tear, we went back to talk to Vadima to see if she found the Grumwort. Once we sailed back to Skull Island, Avery's Court, Witchdoctor's School, by Madame Vadima in realm One Eyed Jack... lol... She told us that Frogfather might know where we could find Grumwort. I'm glad I had a chance to blog about fighting, well a little bit of fighting.. I think I'm ready to fight again because talking drives me crazy. HA! A blogger says that! Anyways, I think it's time I end this post since there's nothing else to blog about today. Thank you Alyssa for letting me join you with the battle above and I wish you good luck with your quests in the future. Thanks for reading everyone and there's one last picture of the day below. I'll talk to Frogfather again to see if he knows where the Grumwort is, lets hope he does! Until then, I'll see you around the Spiral. Stay safe in the skyways!

Brother Wolf's Quest (Pt.1)

Ahoy Pirates!

I was planning on posting a blog yesterday but didn't get the chance because when I planned to post gmail and blogger started to mess up and I wasn't able to make a blog post. Everything today is better of course, and I have a long post for you to read today so get ready :D. On my last blog post I had to fight Striped Bumbaloons to gather meat so I could summon the next guardian, Brother Wolf. After I collected the meat to summon Brother Wolf I sailed to Scorpion Rock to summon him and at first he said he was going to eat me! I'm sorry Brother Wolf, I already fought all of the bumbaloons off and I'm not going to let that work go to waste so you're eating the meat and not me :P.

After a long talk with Brother Wolf (I told him how many enemies I defeated in the past), he decided not to eat me since he was scared of me... Look at his glowing eyes and he's almost the size of the scorpion in the background... He's scary.. I mean he's scared of me!! :D Anyways... I started talking to him and he told me Silver Rain, the chief's bride, Brother Wolf was her protector and guardian but she was killed by Three Scars when he used Sister Snake's venom... ew... and the poision blinded her ghost and she's having trouble finding a path to the Spirit World (Three Scars sure has caused a lot of trouble in the past). Brother Wolf wanted me to help  him by putting Silver Rain's spirit to rest by talking to Sister Snake. If you look at the picture above, it says that Sister Snake has enough power to release Silver Rain so she can move on.

It takes awhile to sail all the way from Scorpion Rock to Sister Snake. I wasn't worried about the travel to Sister Snake, I was worried about talking to Sister Snake... I hate snakes... yes that's supposed to be offensive to snakes :P. Once I was threatened by Brother Wolf that if I didn't go he'd destroy my ship, I had to go talk to Sister Snake (okay I wasn't threatened by him). Once I arrived the snake, the glowing eye snakes which makes it even scarier than it is now, told me that I need to find a Ghost Tear and a Grumwort Herb to make a balm that will help Three Scars so she could move on. She said the two items wasn't in Cool Ranch and that I would have to sail to a different realm to find them.. Wait... She said they couldn't be found in Cool Ranch and that I'd have to travel to a different realm?!! x starts celebrating x Wow, I'll finally won't see any snakes... Ah! It's going to be nice :). Old Scratch told me that the two would be in Skull Island and I'd have to talk to Vadima, the witchdoctor teacher, to find out exactly how and where to find them. I think we'll have to wait until next time to make that post since I already post a lot today. Until then, I'll see you around the Spiral! :D

Striped Bumbaloons!

Ahoy Pirates!

The last time I started questing on my main quest was December 2nd on my I hate Snakes post.. It's been awhile since I quested on the main storyline on my swashbuckler, Edward Cringle. I was worried about the Striped Bumbaloon quest. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about once you read the title of this post. Today I had plenty of time to quest so I decided to try to finish the quest so I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore so I can quest again on my main quest line so I won't have anymore trouble to worry about anytime soon.

I had to fight bumbaloons and buffaloons in order to summon the next guardian, Brother Wolf. I had to collect meat from the buffaloons so I could summon the wolf. There's always a quest in the game that's difficult and this quest is one of the quests that's difficult. When you get to this quest you have to fight one bumbaloon per deck fight and sometimes a lot of buffaloons show up. I'm not going to lie to you, this quest is difficult but there are ways to change the difficulty of the quest. You can hire minions, like I did after the first four fights. Is it bad I forgot there were minions in the crowns shop? I hope not, I'm going to remember now because the minions really did help me with the other four fights. Here's another reason I love the minions Kingsisle added to the game, after all of the months they've been on the game, thank you Kingsisle for adding them!

Another way to make this fight easier is to ask friends for help. Remember to ask nicely, if you do I'm sure they'll be willing to help if they're not busy. I've had times when I was on the lowest of health and I really needed help and asked nicely if a friend could help and if they couldn't I did end up being defeated but that was okay. They helped afterwards when they wasn't busy anymore and we went through the quest without any dying. Today when I was questing I just hired minions and turn up the music on the game and listened to it when I defeated the bumbaloons, with help from my companions and the lovely minions from the crowns shop. :D I'm so happy I finally finished this quest and can't wait to continue questing through the game. I think this quest was holding me back for awhile and that's why I haven't really post much Edward Cringle posts lately. I promise that will change soon! Anyways, I did defeat all 8 and collected the meat from them to summon Brother Wolf ( epic picture below). Wow, I really want a pet or companion that looks like Brother Wolf, he's pretty cool! I'll quest more later, since Brother Wolf does have a quest for me. You'll have to wait until next time to see what that quest is! Until then, I'll see you around the Spiral and I'm sorry if I confused their names, I think I like calling them striped buffaloons. LOL. :D

After all of that work I did for you? YOU WILL NOT EAT ME!!
