11-8-13 - Govanaus and the Forbidden Sword.

On Friday 8th November 2013 CST (Saturday 9th AEST), I will be hosting a rather big (estimated 4+ sessions) quest involving the party who is levelled between Levels 25-30 and the party who is from Levels 18-24. Each session will run for approximately 2.5-3 hours each, running from 7:00 PM (11:00 AM) to 9:30-10:00 PM (1:30-2:00 PM).
Like usual, I will wait for 3 players to join by 7 PM (11 AM my time) or I will pass the session off to my next available time.

Client: Leroy Govanaus.

Story: "Dear adventurers.
You may have encountered the dangerous ghost flames known as Whispies in increasing numbers while exploring, causing great concern among the pheasantary, nobles, adventurers and the royality alike. We have discovered their source - In the heart of the Water Temple where a band of Keaton rebels lead by the notorious Keaton Magus Thouhter have recently taken over.
We have now confirmed that Thoughter or one of his close associates are in posession of the Whispy Sword - A very powerful but deadly sword what can turn the ghosts of the fallen into Whispies.
We would go in and defeat Thoughter and retrieve the sword ourselves but then we would get quickly overrun by the hordes of Keaton here. Fortunately, the Zoras are willing to help but we fear that they may be not enough to get the job done. This is where you come in. You will be working with us after the Zoras attack, keeping the majority of the Keaton busy while we come in and steamroll Thoughter and his guard. However, this needs to be done quickly or we could quickly get slaughtered by the remaining Keaton should they win.
We will have to fight him ourselves. Very few people stand a chance against him. Most of his minions are weak enough for you to handle.
We will provide the Blue Tunics and Hookshots required to traverse the Water Temple." ~ Leroy Govanaus.

Your objective: Help us reach and defeat Thoughter.

Reward: We can provide those who tag along with us until we defeat Thoughter with his his bounty (when we receive it) and some Time Crystals.

Results

A brave team of Gurloz, Darte Fellshard, Kirran and Dex Eyegouger all met with the Govanaus Brothers and their familiars, Harry and Jake Wattson, on the shore of Lake Hyilia and geared up in preparation for plunging into the Water Temple where Thoughter and his Keaton held.
Early on, Gurloz and the Wattson brothers took a detour and ended up saving a Keaton by the name of Matilda and fought the Light Guardian. As a result, Gurloz obtained the Tide Medallion and learned Crippling Retribution.
Then the Wattson Brothers and Matilda split off from Gurloz to form a separate party to roam the temple and Gurloz re-merged with Kirran and Dex with Oliander and Red Enrics later joining them and continued through the temple.
They also encountered Silvio, who joined them as they continued their journey through the temple as Thoughter gave chase. They continued through the temple until, to their surprise, the Govanaus brothers descended upon them to arrest Silvio and begin their fight with Thoughter. Hank Cheshire briefly joined them to grab Silvio, bound in crystal rope, and take him to the Hylian Guard.
The party finished exploring the temple by ravaging Thoughter's office, seizing papers relating to a cancelled plan to attack Hyrule Castle.
However, Thoughter managed to escape by sweeping the Govanaus brothers up into a hurricane and then fleeing. The Govanaus brothers are still hot on his trail, pursuing him through almost anything he throws at him.

Govanaus and the Forbidden Sword will commence on Friday 8th November at 6:00 PM CST (Saturday 9th November at 11:00 AM AEST).

A day late, because Fire Seraphim's quest got in the way, but it will commence today at the time in the previous post.

Just a reminder: Even players with the Fire affinity (who can't equip the Blue Tunic) can participate in this quest. The way to do this is to wait until you get in-session for someone to use a special skill on you and then equip the Blue Tunic. However, bring several Empty Bottles along because you will need them! If you need any, they are being sold for just 20 Rupees each at the Zora shop.

Edit: For clarification, I won't gimp the lower-levelled portion by bringing in Hal like I did with Fire Seraphim's quest.

This is being postponed (again) to either tomorrow or Friday. I will let you know later.

The session is running today. Remember: 6:00 PM CST (11:00 AM AEST). Up to four can join.
