"Calder Cob proved to be quite a snake,
serving brigands from over the lake.
All of his spying
could lead to us dying.
SO WHY ARE WE FEEDING HIM CAKE!?!?"

+10 for limerick
+10 for amusing limerick
+1000 for reference to cake

Well done Shamus, great work.

I've said it before and I'll say it again,

"That hat is epicness itself"

And keep those songs and limericks comeing they're a riot.

The world of Middle Earth has a very progressive policy towards "enhanced interrogation techniques".

It should only be 30 levels or so until you meet competent NPCs. Keep at it, Shamus.

I love this series. And the part where you said the farmer will use his head later to hold pointy objects such as spears made me laugh out loud xD.

Keep up the epic!

Hey, if making him cake gets him to spill the beans, why not.. actually, yeah, that's just silly.

 

[JerichoEscapes]

I love this series. Needs to be bi-weekly, methinks.

 

[Otterpoet]

Shamus, you are the Terry Pratchett of MMORPGers... truly amazing work XD

 

[Swaki]

fantastic article, i dont know if its the source material or all the delicious Escapist money but this really is atleast 10 times better than 'star on chest'.

edit: i loved 'Star on Chest' btw.

but i found it quite hard to understand whether you where completing the quests or not until the end.

Awesome work Shamus, I'm liking this quite a bit. I remember going through all of these quests back when I started this game, its hilarious to take another look at them for how ridiculous some of them really are.

 

[Mumorpuger]

Lulzy! Lulzy! Lulzy!

 

[Galad]

Ohh, limerick, you are getting more and more entertaining with this, Shamus

 

[Flying Dagger]

He's a sandwhich waiting to happen!

Just a note that Fenton Marshley *is* supposed to be badass. He's the source for the big Epic Class Quest for Hunters(more classes?) at level 45. Yeah, yeah, all of those who played the game *knew* you were going to mention the Bilberry Cake quest.

Oh, and I'm curious if you'll say anything about the odd starting point for the final quest in the Archet instance. Odd, if you're wanting to defend the town that is.

From the looks of it, this article write itself.

MMOs are fun, even if they seem to lack logic in the quests.

Keep up the amazing work! This is quickly becoming my favorite article on the Escapist!

I simply cannot wait until you find an elf village...Then your deeply rooted racial hatred of humans might find a better home in a deeply rooted racial hatred of a race that really deserves it - ELVES!

The world of Middle Earth has a very progressive policy towards "enhanced interrogation techniques".
