Last Day of Training

We left the city of Gelligh and headed for the Bardvig Aqueducts. As we pass, we see another Marked man named Draxl. His group has returned from the temple, saying the Kawa aren’t letting anyone in. Since the Kawa have defended themselves well, they’ve decided to attack any Marked who passes through, so they’ll win by default. Katja informs us she was hired to kill this guy before, but they were too strong. Kyrie tries to talk him out of it, but evil is as evil does...

It’s a straightforward fight. I think all my grinding has led me to be even with my enemies. After the battle, I go looking for the treasure hidden beneath the waters. Activate the switches, drain the water, and open the chest. Inside are Hover Boots that allow the user to float over everything, including liquid. With these in hand...er...foot, I now have access to every single chest I had to skip before.

Inside are powerful items and a few badges, which unlock interesting classes. I’m over fifty percent of all chests opened, with the rest in places still to come. Opening all of them took all night, so I couldn’t advance more plot. The only other thing of note is that I returned to Port Grendel and overheard a quick conversation about a meeting at a graveyard. If we return to where we killed Mercier and Dolman, we see a group of undead led by a sentient Pumpkin Man. Killing everyone unlocks a new hat, a Pumpkin, and a portrait, ditto.

Tomorrow I’ll head to the final temple!

I’m thinking I’m about two nights away from being done. I’m not sure because I don’t want to spoil anything, but from what I’ve skimmed, I’m almost done. I’ve got no more want to grind, I did plenty of that tonight, so I’m full speed ahead. I wonder what those obelisks are?
