darkest-dungeon-3

November 14th

COVE: EXPEDITION 38

My Group:

  • Hot Dog the Abomination
  • Death-Bringer the Hellion
  • Bretteville the Jester
  • Cairon the Occultist

Bullet Points:

  • Finished placing the wards early and didn’t have too much issue finding them.
  • Got greedy and then Death-Bringer got killed. My longest running Hellion. Sad.
  • On the plus side, Hot Dog is my first character to reach Champion, Level 5!

COVE: EXPEDITION 39

My Group:

  • Marriage the Hellion
  • Emory the Bounty Hunter
  • Berners the Highwayman
  • Macha the Arbalist

Bullet Points:

  • Emory got killed by the Sodden Crew, basically an amalgamation of pirates.
  • Marriage got drowned by the same crew. Nice. Not. That’s two Hellions dead in two expeditions.
  • Time to call it a night.

November 15th

COVE: EXPEDITION 40

My Group:

  • Pascal the Houndmaster
  • Wissant the Antiquarian
  • Porridge the Vestal
  • Campbell the Arbalist

Bullet Points:

  • Not much to this one other than I got some sweet ass treasure and extra gold because of Wissant
  • This is probably the weakest group I’ve put together.

WARRENS: EXPEDITION 41

My Group:

  • Tardiff the Hellion
  • Berners the Highwayman
  • Pascal the Houndmaster
  • Porridge the Vestal

Bullet Points:

  • Searching for this mass of pig parts called the Inoculate Flesh. It looks pretty disgusting.
  • Got lucky and found a map early that showed me where it was.
  • Stressed a bit, but nothing too bad.
  • The Inoculate Flesh is as repulsive as I imagined. It’s like a big pus-filled, maggot-infested pig centipede thing. I’m going to puke.
  • It wasn’t too difficult, as Berners must have something against pigs. He sliced it up pretty good.
  • That’s all for tonight! I’m tired!

November 16th

COVE: EXPEDITION 42

My Group:

  • Carbuncle
  • Sardine
  • Sickle
  • Giscard

Bullet Points:

  • Sardine got Death’s Door early. Luckily, Carbuncle has a skill that can protect other party members so that has proved very useful.
  • Thought I got lost pretty bad, but turned out I was going the right way.
  • Stupid ass crabs keep pinching me.
  • I lit all three beacons! Yay!
  • Everyone except Giscard is now Level 5. Holy shit!

 

COVE: EXPEDITION 43

My Group:

  • Tardiff
  • Pascal
  • Porridge
  • Macha

Bullet Points:

  •  We did it, no problem!

November 17th

WEALD: EXPEDITION 44

My Group:

  • Bloody Jobe
  • Courteney
  • Cairon
  • Maudit

Bullet Points:

  • Maudit was getting a bit stressed, but pulled through in the end.
  • Courteney looked in rough shape, but also pulled through.
  • Bloody Jobe got Bulimic but then Courteney healed it in camp. Nice!
  • I explored all the rooms and a few got up to Level 4!

WARRENS: EXPEDITION 45

My Group:

Going with my newbies.

  • Tardiff
  • Pascal
  • Porridge
  • Macha

Bullet Points:

  • Cleared this one pretty fast and killed loads of pig people.
  • Scouting definitely helps out navigation.
  • A few people got diseases, but I’ve sort them out in the Medical Ward.

WARRENS: EXPEDITION 46

Going for the Swine King (probably a bad idea):

My Group:

  • Bloody Jobe
  • Font
  • Giscard
  • Maudit

Bullet Points:

  • It was smooth sailing for a while there.
  • Then I found the Swine King.
  • He beat the shit out of me so I ran away.
  • That’s all for tonight.

November 18th

Technically this is November 19th because I went to bed early, but I woke up in the morning and played so I’m counting it!

WEALD: EXPEDITION 47

My Group:(The Breakfast Newbs)

  • Burgman the Man-at-Arms
  • Papon the Jester
  • Wissant the Antiquarian
  • Porridge the Vestal

Bullet Points:

  • Mostly doing these low level expeditions to build my money back up. I’m using some newbs because I don’t care if they die.
  • However, I’ve found that I really like Papon how he stabs people and then hits the Finale and goes to the back. Pretty effective.
  • Wissant is mostly with me to get the extra money for antiques.
  • No problems!

COVE: EXPEDITION 48

My Group:(The Breakfast Newbs)

  • Burgman the Man-at-Arms
  • Papon the Jester
  • Wissant the Antiquarian
  • Porridge the Vestal

Bullet Points:

  • Went for a second round with the same crew since none of them got Stressed too bad.
  • The group worked out pretty well. Like most new groups though, when they get higher level they’ll fall apart. Maybe not though.
  • OK, time for something difficult next, this shit’s too easy (except the Thrall exploding and almost killing everyone)

November 19th

COVE: EXPEDITION 49

My Group:

  • Papon
  • Tardiff
  • Wissant
  • Faceby

Bullet Points:

  • This was complete 100 percent of the room battles.
  • There was only one room battle.
  • However, I got diseased AF and had to send all my folks to the Medical Ward almost.
  • OK, next I’m going for something a tad harder I think. (I said that last time).

WARRENS: EXPEDITION 50

My Group:

  • Bloody Jobe
  • Bretteville
  • Giscard
  • Porridge

Bullet Points:

  • This was slightly more difficult, but no major problems.
  • I killed the pig people with very little resistance.
  • Seems like some people got diseased though, which is usually the case.

 

RUINS: EXPEDITION 51

I got the Helping Hand town event so I was able to not use level restrictions for the next quest. So I used this chance to hunt down the Necromancer in the Ruins with my tough party.

My Group:

  • Carbuncle
  • Hot Dog
  • Sardine
  • Sickle

Bullet Points:

  • It was mostly pretty easy since I overpowered most of the enemies in the Veteran dungeon with my Champion level group.
  • However, once I got the Necromancer, he stressed the shit out of me and three people became Fearful from their Resolve being tested. Sickle got lucky and got Powerful.
  • I rained down attacks on the Necromancer, mostly drawing him back in with Sardine’s “Get over here!” hook. He tried to keep undead in front of himself, but nah, I ended that quickly.
  • Not in any danger of dying, but having three Fearful members put the hold on getting too overconfident.

November 20th

RUINS: EXPEDITION 52

My Group:

  • Bloody Jobe
  • Maudit
  • Bretteville
  • Giscard

Bullet Points:

  • Have to cleanse three corrupted altars. I found the first two rather quickly.
  • Of course the other one was a ways off.
  • I managed to get by without any major problems and killed skeletons left and right.
  • I can pretty much handle Veteran expeditions now for the most part. I was a little off though because my party felt very low attack power other than Bloody Jobe.

RUINS: EXPEDITION 53

I get a bonus to Resolve and damage due to a Town Event so I’m going to go with it. Taking on the Fulminating Prophet. Oh!

My Group:

  • Crescent
  • Berners
  • Cobb
  • Carion

Bullet Points:

  • The enemies are missing me a lot.
  • Found a map that leads me to the Prophet. Sweet! Now I don’t have to get demolished on the way there.
  • I camped and prepared for the Prophet, hopefully he won’t be too much of a shit.
  • He’s a shit.
  • Almost killed Cairon due to Rubble of Ruin, but the Occultist clung to life. I managed to finish the Prophet off with powerful ranged shots from Berners and Cobb. Loads of crits handled him pretty well.
  • Another boss dead and another week wrapped!
