Issue 23 just came out, so I'm putting "AE Baby" on the back-burner for a little bit. Once I'm done exploring the new stuff that came out with i23, I'll return to playing "AE Baby."
Play my MA arcs!

So far so good...

Good read thus far, I will be following this thread. Good luck with AE Baby... You have inspired me to look into MA arcs, maybe make my own "AE Baby" inspired character.
Thanks for posting.

Arc Name: Two Tickets to Westerly (Developer's Choice arc)
Arc ID#: 374002
Arc Author: @PW
+0/x1, Boss Enabled. Currently Level 9.
Hey, look, it's a DC arc! And it's by @PW, whose arcs I have enjoyed in the past. I choose to accept standard rewards, and I'm off and rolling.
The contact is a Skulls Girlfriend, who tells me that her boyfriend went to quit the Skulls and haven't been seen since then. Will I help him out? Sure, why not?
After cracking some Skulls, one of them tells me that Roy (the boyfriend) ran off. Apparently he is a LARPer (Life Action Role Player), and he got some real magic powers from the Skulls and is now sharing them with his fellow LARPers. I find Roy's friend, Joe, but no Roy. Apparently Joe sold Roy out to the Circle of Thorn. The plot thickens!
So, of course, I'm off to fight the Circle of Thorns and attempt to save Roy so that he will be reunited with his girlfriend. After I finally save Roy ... of course the girlfriend is kidnapped next! Roy goes off alone to take down the Skulls, so I bid him a fond farewell and ... what do you mean, this arc isn't over yet? Oh right, I have to save both Roy and his girlfriend, then take down the big boss. Duh. So I do exactly that, and this story arc is completed.
I also ding Level 10 during the final mission, mostly due to the fact that I was able to use up my Patrol XP.
My rating: 4 stars. I did enjoy the fact that this was a series of four quick missions, so the pacing was great. But there was a certain element of "The princess is in another castle!" to this story arc. Still, as a lowbie story arc, it worked, and I liked that it went beyond simply "Hey look, it's a Skull! Beat him up!"
Play my MA arcs!
