55 xenoblade - investigating earnest's cave

Dear Readers,

We left the refugee camp, swimming in quests and wondering what to do first. I remembered some earlier quests from Colony 9 as I reread them. Still not strong enough to take them on yet.

Some of the new quests we got had a stopwatch so we'll have to keep an eye on those before letting the story progress too far. There were a ton of them actually.

A cutscene played where Juju crashed on a bridge Sharla pointed out. From his perspective he decided to continue on foot. We'll catch up to him later.

I took some time to review the quests to get a focus on them. We beat up some Antols, then we went to the cave Earnest told us about. Inside was a short passage that looped back outside. This was called Kisk Cave and it had Vangs and Arachnos for the other quests. We looked at the ether deposit here and it was just an ordinary one, so Earnest was exaggerating.

The vangs were flying high and I assumed Sharla's bullets could reach it fine and that was true. Her repeating voice lines include not letting anyone in the party die. She has a strong, serious, supportive voice.

We went out the other side and it was raining. We could see the bridge where Juju crashed.

I looked at the game's reverse cover art. The area we're in looked like the area shown with the grassy plain and weird mushroom rocks. On the far left of it is a bit of a bridge. Could be this very bridge! We'll have a look later and see if we can match it to the cover art. We didn't go to the bridge straight away. We went back to camp to finish up some quests.
