Finally, finally, back into the game yesterday. Did some prelim/placating work with Kitty Shoulder and Kitteniboo, then onto the main action with Amorpha and Psi-clone.
Blasted in parallel through a load of Striga content — including finishing up the Stephanie Peebles arc (Heracles? No prob), finding ourselves having outlevelled Long John, and on to Scary Contact Who Stands In The Middle Of The Cemetary.
Blasted through a couple of those mishes (easy hunts when it’s both of us with the mission), until we hit the Banished Pantheon and the Mausoleum. Amorpha’s version, as she’s managed to pull a level ahead of PC, was a bit spicier, and we ended up both eating mausoleum dirt once in the middle of way too many shamans, husks, and a purple Totem.
But by the time we were done with both our versions of the mish, we’d gotten out of debt, and were both over half-way to the next level.
I’m not sure how we’d do this arc without A’s massive damage, applied selectively around PC’s Group Invis and Deceive (“You are my friend, Mr. Totem, oh, yes, my friend”), but it would be a lot more difficult.
Felt nice.

The Pantheon! Ugh. My deadliest enemies.
Totems Deceived? I wish I’d had you along! I had to take my friend, Phed-X the Tanker, to keep me alive while I sniped them.
I finished up the missions for Tobias Hansen (Scary Contact Who Stands In The Middle Of The Cemetary). I figured that would earn me a story arc reward, but no… Not done with the Council yet!
Sunday’s activities were a lot more sedate, at least in the evening. Did a bit of new content, but spent most of the time with Velvet and P-siren clearing out old story arcs (old contacts with incomplete bars still willing to give missions); since there is a limit on the number of story arcs which can be open, leaving these dangling can reduce the content that future contacts will give.
Which translated into blowing through various missions full of gray clockwork for zero XP. Down to just one open obsolete story arc for the both of us, though.
