pedantherIt's been a busy night in the Kingdom of Loathing.
I'd been kind of stuck for a while, wandering through the same old places, not finding anything new, and not getting anywhere in my quests. (By the way, have I mentioned I finished the birthday candle quest? Entirely by accident, as it happened, I stumbled into the right place at the right time - although once it had happened, I could recognise the clues that would have led a more alert person to the same conclusion deliberately.)
So I was grousing about this to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
leecetheartist, and she pointed out an avenue of enquiry that I'd forgotten about. That let me finish one of my quests, and that opened up a whole new area to explore - and, in exploring it, I opened up another new area.
So, tonight I've fought bulls with boxing gloves, bought remarkable quantities of rather dubious chewing gum, visited tropical islands, and encountered drunken orcs - not to mention the Obligatory Pirate Cove, which I've had a lot of fun exploring; I've encountered three parodies of Captain Hook already, not to mention all the other famous pirates. (The Dread Pirate Bob, sadly, turns out to be a bit of jerk. But it must be admitted that, unlike many pirates, he does speak with an English accent.)
Oh, and there seems to be a haunted sombrero following me around...
