Guild Wars 2

So Grawnk stole some toys and we were supposed to retrieve them. Instead we poisoned him and…forgot about the rest?

Am I blind or did that story kind of fall off a cliff?

I found this kinda humorous myself. We never actually gave back the ornaments to the orphans in the end. Heck, I chucked 4 of the 6 into the MF and got a ring which I sold to get some value out of them. (The gold ball ornament the orphans were going to sell for food after Wintersday being one of them.)

Does this make us next year’s Grawnk?

If you talk to the child after killing Grawnk they’ll give you a consumable that unlocks an item collection that requires you to go gather the stash or ornaments. When you’ve done that, you’ll get the wintersday tree node for your home instance and a Star of Gratitude that consumes Empyreal Fragments for gifts.

Edit: But as Erukk said, we never actually give the ornaments back. I just assumed lore wise the item collection represented giving them back, whilst mechanics wise we’re no better than Grawnk.

This does set something a disturbing — and, perhaps, unfettering — precedent. If it’s to be assumed we gave the items back and were subsequently rewarded for doing so, ‘off camera’, so to speak, we could, theoretically, assume we defeated the remaining Elder Dragons ‘off camera’, receive some honorary loot, and move on to something else more interesting.

I believe its like this:

We feed Grawnk to obtain ornaments.
But he accidentally die (or he ended in coma, you can´t die by eating Bloodstone dust dishes, i tried).
So we collect all ornaments, send them to childrens. As thanks they send back Christmas tree decorated with ornaments.
Therefore you still have all ornaments.

I salvaged the ornaments and totaled like 5-6 ectos out of them.

And a certain chef continues to try cooking with Bloodstone Dust, while I pine for seeing the Tyrian equivalent of Chef Ramsay show up to clear up the issue.

Of course, there is one man who can cook with it, and make it not only delicious but nutritious . . . A.B.

You have to poison, er, warm his heart over the period of three days, each time returning with a more potent drink. He even tells you straight up to come back tomorrow to feed him again, so no falling off of cliffs there.

I just added awkwardly salvaging the ornaments to the list of – awkwardly unrealized potential for our Home Instances.

I would have done each jumping puzzle twice and baked a bloodstone infused ham if it meant the tree would be placed in the orphanage.

edit the ‘-’ is there to prevent a kittening

Sadly, Chef Oxbone saw him as competition and paid 5g to sabotage him. All of Alton’s cooking utensils got replaced with mithril foil, and he had to cook over a lava font.

It would still be delicious, bystanders said.

Wrong person. The man I speak of is not a chef by trade.
