Another Warrior of Light

Viewed this way, a boss battle is more like a choreographed dance - they call, you respond and counter-call. The trick is to learn the steps - once you know where to move, when to strike, when to defend and how to best allocate your resources, victory is not just achievable but actually almost impossible to avoid. You cannot help but recite the winning plays, over and again, because that is what the dance demands of you both - and is there not a savage sort of beauty in such a thing?

Well, it's been a while since we visited Occult Crescent. Somehow needing to grind my way to knowledge isn't entirely enticing, despite what my usual days would have one believe. Yet this sudden disinterest on my part did not perturb A'nijah at all, and so we found ourselves within the -er- rather 'mindboggling' rooms within the Gelmorran ruins underneath the southern part of the Twelveswood. Strangely unnerving little place that's had me magically gagged and Nijah frogified about every five counts. Buuuut-! It was also the absolute best. For one specific reason. Just. Look. At these absolute beauties!

These lovely aggressive ladies came with their seedlings in tow, showing there's a thriving morbol population within these crystal-lined caverns! I could hardly believe my eyes. Absolutely stunning creatures. We unfortunately did not manage to happen upon buds or fruits, which makes me wonder if perhaps these ladies collect their budding offspring within rooms that were somehow inaccessible to us, yet easily exited by their seedlings. There is definitely enough prey and moisture around for a fresh little morbol to grow, so it is a possibility. Something to think about. Whatever the case, I'm looking forward to spending more time with these gorgeous creatures and perhaps, with some luck, bringing a seedpod up to the surface. How closely related would they be to the morbol and stropers of the contemporary Twelveswood, I wonder?
