WHERE WINDS MEET - Chaos Arrives
Quick Overview
The gameplay session in "Where Winds Meet" involved the player character dealing with a failed recording, joining the wrong sect, completing minor quests like retrieving rocks, healing an injured person, and ultimately engaging in a complex conflict involving an illusionary maze set up by the Arya Pavilion witch, culminating in a difficult boss fight that the player ultimately failed to win before ending the recording.
Key Points: The player apologized for a previous recording failure due to a full memory card and continued the story progression, mentioning they had introduced the girl to Killer Blade and completed small quests, including fighting a bear. The player discovered they joined the wrong sect and needed to find the correct token, later encountering an old man who possessed 10,000 tales of gold, prompting discussion about his rich family. A significant dialogue exchange revealed the deceased character Chu Ching Chen was a 'fool who tried to save everyone' whom Killer Blade felt indebted to for saving him during a fight with the 12 calamities, leading Killer Blade to swear an oath to do something for him, which turned out to be simply drinking with him. The narrative shifted to an urgent situation where Killer Blade died on the player's back while fleeing numerous pursuers after being told to find Hung Xang Shu and ask for 'the secret.' The player and allies encountered an invasion by forces from the Arya Pavilion who had set up an illusionary maze, trapping villagers and the heroes, with the leader of the invaders being identified as the array's focal point. The group devised a plan involving setting a fire to distract enemies, using an escape tunnel under Sweet Wine Tower, and sending Ruby through a crack to get external guidance, but Ruby later revealed herself to be the Arya Pavilion witch and the array's focal point. The session concluded after a series of intense combat attempts against the witch, where the player expressed exhaustion, stating, "I'm tired of that sack now," before ending the recording.
