If I survive to see Wednesday afternoon, I&#8217;m going to be reviewing Dishonored 2 soon!! \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\nSo excited for that. Anyway, shall we begin with Day 4? I feel it&#8217;s going to be quite the busy day before hell comes crashing down. Though, I also feel I might leave the server (possibly either by Day 5 or Day 6) and head to Pristine; the next server on the list.<br \/>\nYou may feel I&#8217;ll be leaving early, but do remember I was able to get on horseback by Day 2 (which would typically take until the half of Day 3). So this is actually normal. <\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s get started. Today I&#8217;m going to be turning around and heading back to &#8216;Rolling Dream&#8217; near the west coast, as according to the map there appears to be a possible way up the mountains here. If it still exists (or is blocked off), that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to find out.<br \/>\nAnd the answer is, yes it still exists! But the top is semi-blocked off by a fairly large castle-like structure. There are bridges going up to an accessible area of the mountain. Though, it seems there&#8217;s a bug with horses and the second floor of a structure. Not a surprise. This bug kicks me off the horse. I have to lead it off the floor in order for the horse to behave right.<br \/>\nFinally I was able to get on the mountain. Couldn&#8217;t get all the way up to the peak because of the uneven terrain. Pretty awesome view here, but it also felt quite  limiting. Next up, I headed back North in order to access Siren&#8217;s Call. It took awhile, but I finally got there. However, this mountain range is literally taken over by mobs. I tried to clear them all out, only to be stopped by a troll. Was forced to flee with no guard towers here.<\/p>\n<p>Before ending this part of the day(the next part will likely stop early), I went back to Tap Dance. But this time I went on its west road. And wow, did I see Deli-level beauty here with a three-wide checkerboard road (and trees in the middle)! This lead up to a deed named &#8216;Blacksmith&#8217;; very big deed (and also very laggy). Continued East, as I wanted to check out two tunnels(with one that looks like it might be leading up the mountain here).<br \/>\nGot to one of these tunnels. Really nice, peaceful landscape here. Guard tower nearby incase I need it. Entered the tunnel, seemed quiet, then when I get ready to get to the other side, some unknown jackass dug up the floor and made it now impossible to get to the other end!! On top of that, several mobs are now in my face.<br \/>\nLured a few of them out, except for a troll who&#8217;s literally trolling me by refusing to come out of the mine. Asked how do I lure this asshole out in Global Kchat, thinking there was a guaranteed to always work method. There was not. Sol&#8217;s going down, so I tried to go for the other tunnel on its north side. Can&#8217;t seem to access it. There is a way to access it&#8217;s south side, but I have to take an alternate route around the first tunnel to get there.<br \/>\nSet up camp next to the guard tower that&#8217;s on the road. With the limited time I have before the weather starts to get extremely active here, I&#8217;ll try to get to the two tunnels and see where they take me.<\/p>\n<p>While watching the radar (and also trying to focus on the task at hand), I made it to the south side of the two tunnels. The shorter tunnel, I don&#8217;t even see the other end. All I see is a deed here. Is this the asshole that ruined the tunnel?<br \/>\nGoing through the longer tunnel, lots of mobs that I was able to run by. On the other end, not what I had hoped (it was on a hill). I could also see..well, <em>not<\/em> see why I didn&#8217;t find the road here (as grass claimed the road here).<br \/>\nGoing North lead me to..how should I best explain this? &#8220;F&#8212; OFF!! Desert&#8221;(with the place dotted with mobs..and how could barely catch my breath before a spider or a hellhound showed up). I was going to head East to another area between mountains, but the weather threats were rapidly changing and I started to get more and more concerned.<br \/>\nInstead, I went up north some more to check out a rather interesting tunnel design on the north coast. Also passed by Draenor. I expected the token&#8217;s description to say something like &#8220;best expansion ever&#8221;, yet it said &#8220;Home of the Orcs&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe way to access these tunnels, was to access a deed called &#8216;North Star&#8217;. Took a ways to reach it, but finding the road leading up to the tunnel system was easy. Inside, a fuckload of mobs! Also most of the tunnels have caved in, forcing me to run by two trolls to access.. a not really helpful place! I had to get off the horse and go down this hill. A bear shows up as I&#8217;m going down, yet somehow I was able to be just fast enough that I was able to re-mount when I got down the hill. Was forced to kill the bear as it didn&#8217;t leave me no choice (the terrain is very steep).<br \/>\nFog starts to roll in, getting pretty thick as I found a road leading to what I thought would be an accessible bridge to get me around this terrain. Instead it leads me up to a small (but locked) deed.<\/p>\n<p>Sol has set and it&#8217;s night. Fog&#8217;s too thick to seek out a better place to set up camp, as the weather is looking worse for me. I wait it out while watching the radar. Finally it fades but somewhat, allowing me to see enough of the shoreline. Quickly throw down camp and focus my attention IRL.<br \/>\nSince I&#8217;m still talking here, boy did I luck out. Kept my power, and only one tornado warning (but places north of me). The storms turned into a flash flooding event instead of a tornado threat. Still have the actual cold front to sweep through around 7-9am EST. But with all the rain we got, having this line going severe on me is less likely.<br \/>\nDue to getting so stressed out after all of this weather, I&#8217;m calling it a night for Day 4. Tomorrow(Day 5), MUCH much calmer (weather-wise). Also, I&#8217;m calling the finale of this server and moving to Pristine. I want to squeeze as much time as I can before Wurm Fall(to make up for that week due to waiting for that axe).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, despite the dangerous threat of severe weather later tonight into the morning hours, at least a bit of good news.
