Water is a diggers most potent ally. I led the Shadowbeast to the goblin bridge and dove on in. The Shadowbeast took the plunge without pause... and began doggie paddling. Which puts it significantly up the AI food chain than wolves, who do their best fountain impression.
I wasn't dismayed in the slightest. I swam away, and it lost interest... heading for the edge to get out. Of course, Shadowbeasts can't climb... If this was Archer's Quest, the battle would be over right about now. Like shooting Shadowbeasts in an Enclosed Riverbank could be a phrase.
Well, I swam back over as it clawed at the ledge... and laid the smack down with Orechipper. It turned only to see me giving it the finger as I backstroked away. Frustrated it resumed clawing at the bank. Well... in I came. This time, however, it wasn't QUITE on the bank. It had slipped underwater and made the bubbling animation. It surfaced quick... but then did it again. This time I swam overtop of it. Unable to reach the surface with me over it, it gurgled and drowned. I guess I owe the Razors at Xardas' a thanks for teaching me a lesson in being a bastard after all. :) |
