We're really going in there with a water bucket and a butter knife?

 

Well I guess we better reset our spawn point for when we die horribly in this temple.

If we rest, do we regain EP? 'Cause if so, I'm with Heavy on this.

Wasn't my idea 😛 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

I thought we were working on our water mastery, trying to flesh out our arsenal with a more offensive spell. This didn't say dangerous side quest to me. 

 

But seriously what is the worst that can happen? I'm sure we'll be fine.

You've done it now. We'll fight off the Forsaken with nothing but a water pail and a butter knife! 😤

Ooh, that would be sweet.  Think I want this one.

Description of the Story:
Cautious and wise, you choose to set up camp near the Temple of Tides before entering. You find a small hollow sheltered by wind-smoothed stone, far enough from the temple’s magic to rest undisturbed but close enough to keep watch. You lay out your bedroll, warm a bit of food from your rations, and let the rhythm of the waves lull you into a meditative state. The Orb of Purity glows softly at your side, resonating with the temple’s distant hum. By morning, you feel stronger—your magical energy renewed and your connection to the element of Water subtly deepened.

Game just randomly threw out EVERYTHING instead of just the current thing lol

Edited March 28 by Ithillian Turambar

[Turin Turambar]

Might as well have a look around to see if anything will help us.

 

Where is the co op in this adventure? Gonna need to get more supplies at some point.

I agree with Turin here. We must seek knowledge and prepare before we uh, decide to fight all the Forsaken with a water pail and a butter knife!

For the Light!!!

 

~Tokyo Drift plays~

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Theme songs? Old hat. 

 

 

 

Moat of those options seem a bit similar - look for something that will help and hopefully not trigger the poisoned avalanche of rapid piranhas.

We can yeet them by doing the wave, right?

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Hopefully. Lol that was meant to say rabid piranhas and I cannot even blame autocorrect, lol. 

 

Super fast piranhas, they're the worst kind lol.

Story:
You examine the statues and the runes between them. The glowing symbol on the arch responds to your water magic, subtly shifting as if acknowledging your presence. The magical ward protecting the entrance has been deactivated, and you sense that you can now pass safely into the Temple without harm.

What would you like to do next?

Edited March 28 by Ithillian Turambar

[Aarenis]

Oh. I see we avoided the pirahnas. That's nice 😔

[Ithillian Turambar]

Which is a shame actually. You could have cooked them for dinner.

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Should we search more or send our poor booby trap detectors in first? 

[Aarenis]

Thinking of the latter tbh. Inb4 we activate the sigil and a Balrog drops on us from the skies.
