Living Story
At the end of Clockwork, if you finished the dungeon…you ‘defeat’ her and she runs away. We don’t know where she’s gone, or where her lair is. So it’s not like we can just go chasing after her…. Of course, after running around trying to stem those invasions every hour for 2 weeks, I’m sure even the most stalwart hero needs a breather…
Scarlet needs time to lick her wounds and recover. We defeated her. Her answer is the invasions. We’re fighting them off.
The living story isn’t one thing. It’s many things. Some months we’ll continue that story, some we’ll do Halloween stuff or the super adventure box.
Variety is the spice of life.
We hit Scarlet pretty hard last time.
Assuming you finished the whole storyline (which the lore always does) we stopped her latest plan, helped Thackery take back the watch knights, took back her new base (the Pavilion), destroyed large chunks of her armies and almost killed Scarlet herself. It’s going to take a while for her to recover from that.
We also made progress towards stopping her completely by learning more about her and reverse engineering her portal technology. This month ‘behind the scenes’ people like Vorpp, Thackery and Kiel are continuing the search for her base. But other than continuing to catch and stop the Invasions there’s not a lot we can do to help with that.
I’m sure when they find something we’ll get a message asking us to come and help again.
Back in real world terms that probably won’t be next month when we’ll be dealing with the return of Mad King Thorn. It will probably be in November when we have a lull between Halloween and Wintersday.
