![]() When you're done there, if you head from there out to Loping Plains, where the deer and the antelope were smart enough to bugger off and leave the place to the werewolves, ghouls, vampires, GIANT spiders and ever so scary to all, "The Bummer Gang Bandits," you'll find another quest all tangled up with RL Lore: I have a sneaking suspicion they had something to do with the Austin Mini as it is.who else would design a car with sliding windows so there'd be a space to stash a bottle of liquer?Īt any rate, it turns out the quest name itself is an interesting little tidbit of RL Lore: Vaucanson's Mechanical Duck I can only imagine, if Gnomes manufactured cars, what kind of cheek you'd get from your Volkswagon on startup. So, your gnome-manufactured duck quotes such pithy remarks as "Where the Voombin are we goin?" Not "lawn gnome" for you non-EQ nerds, but Norrathian Gnome - irritable geniuses, a touch self-centered, a touch pompous, every last bit of them quirky and bullheadedly odd. ![]() He has attitude.he is distinctly.gnomeish. The quest reward is Quacker Yig - a self-named clockwork duck of your very own (you can't rename him, tyvm, he's Quacker Yig and that is that). I was SO proud of myself for finding them all I usually struggle to find my car keys on the hook next to the door. In Steamfont, you can visit "Gnomeland Security" (really) and pick up the quest: "Anas Mechanica Arcana." Your mission? You scour the whole darned zone for little dead mechanical spyducks and pillage them for their black boxes. Going from Altan Brownwing the fae provisioner (cook) to quest names. Only Caiphus and Kassidy remained to laugh about the whole deal and helped to tick off the last few party requirements for the Gold rating.Lots of jokes and references in EoF. ![]() When the guests had left, Granny and Mum started drinking to calm their nerves. The other guests and my family made a run for it, followed by a scary looking Kali Kelly who decided we were all evil fiends and didn't want to use our shower or ever step foot on our lot again. Mr Kelly was doing a wild dance of his own, yelling for someone to please save his wife. It didn't help that Olivia decided to grab my chest from behind as I doused the flames licking at Mrs Kelly. Daddy had two extinguishers but he was stunned by Kassidy's lack of sympathy. There was panic and mayhem, screams from Mrs Kelly as she flayed her arms and jumped on the spot. Just as the evening was drawing to a close, a tiny ember popped from the crackling fire and into Mrs Kelly's lap. Then I made many, many more apologies to the Clones Whitlock cousins and an elderly Thomas Pancakes who kept asking me to repeat myself several times - this is what happens when you frequently abuse the air horn.ĭestinee was getting quite fed up of socialising with my parents - their discussion on adding logs is enough to bore anyone to death. I apologised to the SKLs and Kellys, who had the privilege of being my first victims. We gathered round the fire and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and I began my long speech that I hoped would last all night. Granny was the first to grab a bowl, I swear she must have two stomachs or something. Although it's a Weenie Roast I preferred to call it the Mischief Managed Party.Ĭolten was on cooking duty and served up Camper's Stew. I've been making plans for my first party for ages and invited a group of very special people - it took quite a long time to convince them all to attend. I don't know, you've invited me to a lot of fake parties before. Once my feet touched ground again I went around upgrading all the appliances and plumbing. There were no aliens in sight or blue-boxed time traveller, but I had a lifetime to find those. I waved to the family as I left for my first space adventure and strapped myself in. In between work and building the Falcon I kept up with my athletics training, sometimes inviting Caiphus over to try out new moves. ![]() I did a little remodelling of my own in the garden and immediately set to work on my rocket ship HMS Falcon - clever name, right? (Actually she's named after the Millennium Falcon but as I'm writing this I realised the double meaning!) Adventures in the forest wasn't my thing, perhaps space would open up a whole new world for me. I'd already wasted two days into my young adulthood in Granite Falls, now that I had returned home I joined the Astronaut career. ![]()
