Sometimes
you just can't, Ambermist. I found that out today.
While
doing the Spring Festival quests in LotRO, I found myself at Sandson's Farm,
where the famous chicken session starts. It is a series of quests where you
play as a level 1 chicken in Middle-Earth.
I thought
about giving it a try. The very first quest is simple enough, about gathering
some worms... until you notice that the wolves around the farm are
"red" and dangerous, able to kill your chicken-self in a nibble.
This made
me remember of a guide for Chicken Session that I bookmarked a long time ago, and
there I went to search more about it. In a short description, the quests are
mostly about the challenge to run around Middle-Earth as a level one and
survive to tell the tale. The guide includes chat channel suggestions, tips on
how to have someone escort you at some points, and of course the rewards.
Not sure
if I'll go through it, but it is nice to know something this different is there
in the game.
Made me
think of Bill the Pony and his lonelly journey all the way from the gates of
Moria to Bree, which of course led me to double check if I remembered the story
properly.
The BattleChicken is right, learning is fun and some wiki articles are good reads in
between games.
Hehe. I found that quest series not too long after starting my adventures on the Shire and loved it. :)
ReplyDeleteI still have to finish all the quests but right now the Spring Festival is more important!
Oh my gosh, that sounds like a blast. BATTLE CHICKEN for real! I love figuring things out on my own, but darn it, sometimes we need help. This sounds like something I'd have gone straight to the internet for. I'm only good at being a chicken equipped with lasers...IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZERS! :-P
