When last we left off, we had three deaths and added two grendels.
Now, for the females, we’ve got Sapling, Wanderer, Annabelle, Patches, Selena and Sunshine. For the males, Bosco, Jake, Major Tom, RNG, Fern, Bobo and Blinky Bill remain.
Things were carrying on as before with most of the norns now moved into the Norn Meso. Fern kept to himself and Sapling still insisted on staying on the top floor. Wanderer and Bobo were developing a friendship playing with the elevators in the norn meso and Bosco, Blinky Bill and RNG were eating apples and napping in the Norn Terrarium.
The female Grendel seemed to be making friends with Selena and the Grendel Male steemed more interested in the seeds and mushrooms in the Jungle Terrarium. So far, he hasn’t left.
It wasn’t long til Selena started smacking the female Grendel and Wanderer, fittingly had finally wandered from the elevators and was examining the airlock switch. No worries, however. She was soon on her way to the Norn Terrarium.
Selena seemed to need a break and headed back into NornGarden and the boys Blinky, RNG and Bosco were still content to relax in the Norn Terrarium. They didn’t seem to notice Wanderer approaching them yet.
The rest of the norns were still huddled in the bottom layer of the Norn Meso and complained of being crowded. Sapling stayed above the noise and Fern sat with the Female Grendel, pushing the elevator button.
I got a notification in the medical monitor saying that the Male Grendel was feeling pain and, go figure, he was now in the NornGarden with Selena, getting viciously slapped but slapping her back. Selena seemed to be losing the fight until Jake ran in and scared him away.
Wanderer made her way back into the medical bay away from the boys. She approached the portal between the Capillata and the Shee Ark. She developed an unusual walk where she’d take two steps forward, put her arms up and look at the camera. Odd.
Before I could comment further, the Grendels claimed their first death. It was Jake. He survived to 40 minutes, netting him 4 points total.
Another death soon followed and Annabelle was the unfortunate norn this time. She lived 42 minutes, netting 4 points. We’re now down to just 11 norns and the grendels seem to be making short work of them.
Oh, but what’s this? Our first pregnancy! Selena is the mother and it looks like Major Tom is the father. And another! Major Tom also impregnated Patches. Remember those numbers!
Before I could celebrate, the Female Grendel made short work of Bobo who lived to 44 minutes.
Blinky Bill discovered the Offline Portal (again) and made his way to the Grendel Jungle.
Selena is now our first adult. Major Tom was soon attacked by the Grendel female but was soon rescued by his own slapping ability. The Grendel Male was being hunted by Selena who was now much bigger than him and Sapling continued to play by herself. Wanderer seemed to be suffering from EE by the portal between Capilata and the Shee Ark and Norns were starting to leave the Norn Meso for its lack of food and safety.
It wasn’t long til Selena and the Grendel male were having a slap off and Sunshine was being beaten up on by the Female Grendel. Blinky Bill didn’t seem to know what to eat in the Grendel Jungle.
Bosco and RNG were making fast friends while Sunshine tried to escape from the Grendel Female and the Grendel Male still seemed to be a punching bag for Selena. Poor Sunshine didn’t seem to know how to escape. She eventually did but Patches came down and soon became the Grendel’s next victim. She only lived to 49 minutes, earning 4 points for her time alive and another 5 for her egg, netting her 9 points total.
Sunshine was next to go, killed by the Male Grendel. She tried to escape to the NornGarden only to find an angry Grendel Male who was probably tired of getting beaten up on by Selena. She lived to 49 minutes, earning 4 points total.
So much has happened and we haven’t even hit the 30 minute stopping point that I’d hoped! We’re now down to only half of our original contestants and things are only going to get more interesting and fast paced! Tune in next time for what I’m hoping isn’t the epic conclusion of the wolfling run.
