Lair of Whisperdoom

[Kaldahr]

*** possible spoilers ***
So, today my little group decides that they were going to tackle a quest that had been sitting in our quest log for a while - Whisperdoom. Going into the quest, there was something nagging at the back of my mind about a spider but I couldn't recall and figured, what the heck.

First part - no real problems. Enter cave, wow ogres have some nice architecture for ogres... lots of fighting... ooh, blade trap, must be something important, charge up hallway, lots of fighting, where's the shrine? Bet it's behind that door we didn't go through, whoops, fighter failed save on blade trap, shrine!

Which way hadn't we gone? Oh yeah. Caves, lots of spiders... go through that spider web, kill those over there! Don't worry, I can get you back to the shrine, it's only a 2 mile hike.

OK, this looks likely, buffs! Wait, that's all the buffs we brought? Great! Open the door anyway. It's... it's a long empty hall! Ah, here's a battle... the buffs ran out? Great! Fight on!

More spiders, keep fighting! What was that?! A red named? That's it! Kill it! I'm doing... no damage. You really aren't either?! Great! You're supposed to be the heavy hitter! What in the name of zarking fardwarks did I just get hit with?! Some spell? Not too worry - I've got deathward, why don't I ever wear it? No, don't worry, I can take your soul stone back to the shrine. Where'd all these other spiders come from? They respawn?! No, no, I can make it!

OK. Pause here at the shrine. How do we kill that thing?! I know, kite it back to the blade trap! GO! I've got it, kiting back! It'll take a while you know, 2 mile hike walking backwards. Sure glad we didn't have a rogue to disable that trap! Keep it in the blades! No, not you! Stay out of the bl... no, don't worry, the shrine's right here. It's aggro'd on me! Dodge! Weave! Keep it in the trap! It's lost 5 HP. Yes! This plan is working! You did damage? Now it's aggro'd on you... keep it in the trap! The tra... no, don't worry, shrines right here. The rest of the party too? No problem! There, you're ressed! Back on me again?! Back into the trap! Gotta find a spot! It regens too! Wait... there! If I stand here, it's in the trap and not moving, and very slowly killing me but getting hit at the same time! Glad someone here has high saves and resist. Don't worry, toss off a heal every now and then. Don't get too close! Can't risk it moving!

YES! It's dead! We did it! We did it! </dance2> OK. Where's the chest?! Whadda ya mean no chest, it's gotta be here... somewhere.

So, the question is, does killing Whisperdoom spawn a chest somewhere? We went though the whole place looking for half an hour before we gave up. End reward wasn't too great either.

C'est la vie. I imagine I'll look back on this with a rueful chuckle at some point.

If you have a caster the spider is easy, ran it on elite at and just laid firewalls around it while using scorching ray, the melee toons can just flail around.

Dont remember getting a chest after but correct me if I'm wrong.

Congrats on your first completion .. sounds like you had fun.

Did you remember to pick up the 3 items: Splinterskull Battle Standard, Splinterskull Historical Documents, and the Silver Goblet? They will give you an extra reward from the guy outside when you are done.

Ah... no. The goblet was found but we didn't know it was part of a set. Have to look for those next time.

It was a good time, actually. I imagine the devs, should they ever watch parties as they play, would be having a good laugh right about now. Next time - find a mage!

Love the stream of consciouness play-by-play. I can almost imagine myself there, failing my Reflex save in the trap, hiking back from the shrine, and laughing my arse off at the emergent solution to the nearly unkillable spider.

I soloed this today before Sarlona's downtime...and I kept watching the clock as my force handwraps beat away at her health bar..

It took 15 minutes of beating on her and I was able to recall and get my rewards 3 minutes before the server went down LOL!
