Part 16: HORSE!

Still so much to discover, as I have found...

Thursday, Summer Day 25, Year Two

Illy is dumb. She saw Robin yesterday and forgot to get her to move the mill then (thanks Maru's electricity...) So that can't be used for another couple of days...

Oh, hey, Gunther! Illy doesn't Gunther outside of the Museum, like... Ever...

Part 9: Winter is Coming

It's getting chilly in the chilling-out game...

Saturday, Autumn Day 27, Year One

Hardwood, honey, fibre. Well, that's not too unreasonable for a farm warp totem. Illy has a fair bit of honey now...

After chores, which include harvesting all the pumpkins, Illy's first job is go find that basket!

Part 11: Hard to Sum Up

Shortish one today...

Tuesday, Winter Day 23, Year One

Apparently, the rain totem makes it more likely to rain the next day. Stands to reason...

Leah's birthday is today... First job, then, is to give her a gold crocus.

SERIOUSLY, Marnie?

Part 7: Heavy Things

Onwards...!

(Oh, I should note that this breakneck update pace will abate at least briefly, in about another week, since I'll be away!)

Monday, Autumn Day 15, Year One

Mayor Linkara has left Illy a note to bring nine items to display for the fair tomorrow.

Illy's new corn around the sprinkler has come in, and she finally has enough gold corn to complete the bundle!

Part 12: This is a lot of work...

So this will be the last one for a little bit, since I am out for a week or so, so you can breathe a little!

Sunday, Winter Day 28, Year One

Wow, Mercury just laid an iridium-quality egg!

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-One:

Short one today.

The next mission on the list was a 3.5 skull polar base capture mission, to deal with a Kuritan research station.

Shelat would take the Decapitator, Scarlet the Bull Shark, Vey the Stalker Barrage and Natasha the Catapult Hammer.

Read More

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Four:

Okay. 3.5 skull urban battle for the pirates to distract some Capellans. The same lance as before: Zuranna in the Overload, Mylassta in the Fair Marauder, Natasha in the Bull Shark and Summer in the Annihilator.

Read More

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Seventeen:

Okay, first, a 2-skull Destroy Base for the Free Worlds League against the planetary government.

Scarlet would take the Decapitator, Velina would take the Fair Marauder, Natasha the Stalker Barrage and Shelat the Catapult Hammer.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Five:

Righty-doke, then, where were we?

That's right - anti-Kurita missions. Starting with a 4-skull mission to capture a newly-activated factory from them for Davion.

It was in polar climes, so the current lance - Zuranna in the Decapitator, Mylassta in the Rocket Shark, Natasha (still in high spirits) in the Bull Shark and Summer in the Annihilator - would do fine.

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Eight:

So, considering this got posted on Sunday, you can imagine how well it went on Saturday's session, can't you...?

On day 1102, the paladins arrived at Frazer.

"Frazer?" Lynessa asked a cheerfully humming Poppy. "Weren't we going to Horsham?"

"Um, no ma'am," Poppy replied, smiling softly. "Why would we go there? You wanted to fight Kuriat, didn't you?"

"Yes," Lynessa replied, feeling confused. "Yes, I did..."

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-Two:

Last night was quite short, but I finished late, so figured I might as well add it to today's, since that would be a bit shorter than usual, since I went out for the afternoon.

Read More

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Fourteen:

Off they set to Mendham.

To come to a complete grinding halt. Scarlet had Accidentally the Engines, with a laser pointer. Farah was grimly amused, Darius (as usual) was just No-Fun-Stick-Up-Arse man about it, Pseekie was in a fit of hysterical laughter and Scarlet was quite distraught.

Read More

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-Five:

Will be a short one today; got to knock it off early, because we're out early tomorrow morning for a much-needed tomato-soup-in-the-car day trip.

Okay, so two 2-skull and two 3-skull missions to choose from (all from Davion). Lynessa somewhat arbitrarily elected to start with a 2-skull test drive, the Davions wanting to further test a Cataphract 1x by killing some pirates.

Read More

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Twenty-Eight:

Looking at the positions of the enemy indicators, Mylassta had he lance head south, towards the reinforcements, and away from the other nominal contacts.

The first warning the reinforcement lance had that things were about to go south was when the head of the Stalker exploded.

Part 23B: Finale

The final finale...!

Winter Day 26, Year Two

Part 23A: Finale

Had to devide this into two parts (I hope two will be sufficient!) because of the number of images in the last gasp! (Yell if you see any broken image links, but it all appears clear on my end!)

Thursday, Winter Day 18, Year Two

Time is moving on... It won't be long now before Illy has to go to magical paladin school!

Olivia is the one Illy will be giving a secret present to this year... Wine? No, a diamond, everyone likes diamonds.

Read More

And we are back.

While away, Derpy and Sunset helped with a little hydrodynamic engineering...

Not bad for a mere hour or so's work.

Anyhoo, without further ado...

Read More

Part 21: Miner Incidents

Been a little quiet this week, but this is simply because of various day-trips or otherwise being-out-ness and the short evenings before chewing into my playing time...

Friday, Autumn Day 27, Year Two

Illy finds that her Rare Seeds have sprouted into Sweet Gem berries. After some debate, she elects to sell one silver berry, save the gold one and place the last into the seed maker - which gives her two to plant again.

Read More

Part Six

Day Seventy-Eight.

There weren't any pressing tasks (and they were still plenty close enough to get to that nearby loot site soon enough), so Stab started out on planning her throne room.

She elected to have a jade door for this one.

Read More

Bleakbane Plays BATTLETECH, Part Thirty-Nine:

Next mission - a 4-skull clash of the titans between a Capellan Assault mech and... Someone else.

It in the badlands, so the lance would be the same as previously - Pseekie in the Overlord, Mylassta in the Annihilator, Alarhan in the Shortbow, Natasha in the Bull Shark.
