Day 2


Major Catastrophe defeated.

Lunar the White Wolf has upgraded a Diagnose ring up to CL 2.0!

Major Disaster defeated.

Lawn Gnome: We will avenge the majors!

Lawn Gnome: You will pay, Lunar the White Wolf.

Commander Leon: With their majors gone, whatever organization the gnomes might have had in the north has fallen to ruin. Great work, Lunar the White Wolf.

Lunar the White Wolf: That was a rough one, Leon. Between the gnomes, their flamingo sentries, and those mushroom cannons I think I'm lucky to have survived.

Commander Leon: You've been a huge help, Lunar the White Wolf. We've beaten the gnomes back to a safe distance from Barton and there's not much more you and I can do alone. However, I have received word that Remo is laying a plan to storm the gnome fortress. Perhaps you can help him, though I would not suggest attempting to do so without a crew of able bodied Gaians.

Lunar the White Wolf: I think I'll get some friends together and go see Remo.

Commander Leon: He'll need all the help he can get. But, before you head off, I'd like to offer you a ring as reward for your help.

Commander Leon: I have a dozen rings for you to choose from, so I'll show you categories. That'll make it easier to pick what you want.

You just found the Recipe: Lawn Gnome Beard!

Lunar the White Wolf: Ring categories: Melee rings

Commander Leon: Good choice. Are you sure?

Lunar the White Wolf: I sure am!

Lunar the White Wolf has upgraded a Hack ring up to CL 2.0!

Remo: Hey there, citizen.

Lunar the White Wolf: Hey. How's it going over here?

Remo: Well...we're safe here by the gate for some reason, but it's wild out there.

Lunar the White Wolf: Yeah?

Remo: Yeah. It's bad enough that the Lawn Gnomes are all over the place, but they're also organizing outposts and headquarters out there in the Village Greens.

Lunar the White Wolf: I know. I was helping Leon earlier doing scouting patrols around the northern encampments.

Remo: Really? That's fantastic. Y'know...we could use some able-bodied folks down here, too.

Lunar the White Wolf: Things are not going smoothly down here?

Remo: You've got that right. The northern half of Village Greens is a cake walk compared to the lawn gnome outposts further south.

Lunar the White Wolf: There's more of them down there?

Remo: Yup. And they're tougher too. We need all the help we can get.

Lunar the White Wolf: What can I do for you, Remo?

Remo: As much as you possibly can, I think. heh. We Regulars are stretched so thin that we can't counterattack at all. If you're willing to help, I'll get you pointed in the right direction. What do you say?

Lunar the White Wolf: Tell me more about those missions.

Remo: Well, the road we're on now stretches west toward Bill's Ranch. The area south of this road is a lot more organized than the areas you've seen to the north. Coordinated, if you know what I mean.

Lunar the White Wolf: Coordinated? How so?

Remo: Hmmm...for instance...the pink flamingos you see down there seem to act like watchdogs. They run as soon as they see you and alert everything that moves in the area. They run pickets, patrols...it's scary how organized these 'lawn ornaments' seem now.

Lunar the White Wolf: So what do you want me to do?

Remo: Let's start small. The gnomes seem to keep their flamingos in small flocks at different locations in the area. Tackle a few of those flocks and cut down their numbers. The fewer of those flamingos that are around, the better.

Lunar the White Wolf: Okay...so go bash some of those flamingos and then come back to you?

Remo: Yup. That's about it.

Lunar the White Wolf: That sounds pretty basic. I'll be back in just a few.

Remo: Do those pink feathers on your shoulders indicate a little mix-up with flamingos?

Lunar the White Wolf: You got it! I see what you mean about the flamingos coming to help each other. That can get tricky!

Remo: Do those pink feathers on your shoulders indicate a little mix-up with flamingos?

Lunar the White Wolf: You got it! I see what you mean about the flamingos coming to help each other. That can get tricky!

Remo: Too right about that! You need to stay aware at all times while you're out there, or you'll get blindsided for sure.

Remo: Ready for a tougher challenge now?

Lunar the White Wolf: I hope you've got something tougher than that flamingo task. Bring it on!

Remo: Okay. You want tougher? You've got it. The lawn gnomes use those darn mushroom cannons to good effect and the cannons are tough, like they're armored!

Lunar the White Wolf: All right...so what do you need?

You just found the Recipe: Flamingo Plushie!

Remo: Take your time...do it safely...but take out a bunch of those cannons and gather a sampling of their mushroom tops. Bring them back and we'll talk about what to do next.

Lunar the White Wolf: You bet! I'm on it.

Mushroom Head 1/2

Mushroom Head 2/2

Remo: So...what's that big grin on your face for then?

Lunar the White Wolf: Mission accomplished!

Remo: Well done! Congratulations are most definitely in order. Leon likes us to reward citizens that help out in times of crisis, so here you go!

Lunar the White Wolf: Great! Thanks!

Remo: Okay, I admit it. I don't need those mushroom tops at all. You keep 'em. I was testing you to see if you had the guts to handle a really tough mission. In fact, I wouldn't suggest you try this without forming a Crew to help you out. Interested?

You just found the Recipe: Mushroom Hat!

Lunar the White Wolf: An excuse to form a team for a mission? I'm there!

Remo: We know the lawn gnomes came in from the south. They've built a big fence down there and the bulk of their outposts defend the gateway through that fence. The command staff for their army operate out of a giant purple mushroom down there and they really end up causing trouble when we don't smack them down occasionally.

Lunar the White Wolf: So you need help taking out that command post?

Remo: Yeah...that's about the sense of it. This isn't a simple mission. Are you sure you're up for it?

Lunar the White Wolf: Yeah. I'm ready.

Remo: Okay then. Best of luck to you. Head down the road here until you can turn left. Once you start heading south, you'll be in enemy territory. Good luck, citizen!

Lunar the White Wolf: The name's Lunar the White Wolf.

Remo: Fine, fine. I guess you've showed your stuff enough that I should start remembering your name. Mine's Remo, by the way. Now get going.

Lunar the White Wolf: See ya.
