Not So Friendly Challenger: Noijatat

Ahoy thar, me buckos! I wish I was bringin’ tidings of an early Keel Hauliday, but alas! Port Plunder’s been… ehh, plundered! Paint n’ pigment splashed all over th’ walls n’ docks! Dear ol’ Babette’s signage sullied with insults I shan’t repeat! Thar even be a vile scribblin’ of me n’ th’ crew on th’ deck of the dinghy! Little x’s in our eyes n’ everything! Carl’s been rantin’ ‘bout a glowin’ eye’d scallywag skulkin’ ‘round, but that mealy-mouthed grog blossom is indecipherable on a good day, so we’ve no idea what he’s on about.

Me, I’ve half a mind to suspect one of those hornswagglin’ Islanders is tryin’ t’ sabotage  our little shindig, but I’ll naught be able t’ afford the fallout if I’m wrong. Would ye mind a lil’ sojourn n’ reconnaissance so’s we can find th’ scurvy dog and cleave ‘em to the brisket for this offense?

Translation: Hello, friends! I wish I was announcing the start of Keel Hauliday, but unfortunately we’ve had trouble at the port! The buildings and the dock have been covered in paint! Babette’s inn sign has been vandalized with unkind words! There is even a crude caricature of myself and the crew painted on the deck of the lifeboat! We appear to be deceased! Carl has spoken of a suspicious individual with glowing eyes in the area, but that distinguished gentleman can be a little hard to understand sometimes, so we aren’t sure what he may have seen.

I believe an Islander may be responsible, perhaps trying to ruin Keel Hauliday. I would visit and ask myself, but they might take that the wrong way. Would you mind visiting the Islanders and clearing up this little misunderstanding?

Wow, a big huge thank you and a hug to the anonymous gifter who gifted me with TWO 100 credit gift cards to help me auto train my pets. I was also complimented for my comment, and THAT truly means the world to me!!!

Thank you, angel. Some people are angels just by being themselves and being generous. I LOVE giving gifts and I don't do it often enough (low energy etc) but I have an idea of something I can do tonight to "pay it forward." And that's the best thing about generosity and the power of love! I can't remember how to do that heart icon, but the thought is here!!

My pets are new at battling and I'm new at understanding how to battle, and I was able to beat this new challenger 5 times with my strongest pet and I'm ecstatic!! I've only been battling for a little over a year, and I have one other pet who's possibly going to be able to endure 5 battles before she overtakes him. I am posting because I want to say how grateful I've been for all the help I've received from so many players here in explaining how things work, and everything!! I've been gifted with some expensive scrolls, I've had the AP explained, and I started battling with some very smart pets, but most of them didn't have their other stats built up. I now have 19 pets and they're all in training as often as I can be here to toss them back in. I can't afford the CSC to autotrain that often but that's fine.

I also want to thank everyone who posts the stats and the battle loot every time a new challenger comes along. That's VERY helpful. I don't know if anyone will read this, because it's old news now, but I finally got around to posting this and it feels good to do this even if it's just for me. And NOW, I'm about to swap the names of my two newest pets and get to the business of creating my Nostalgic Zentu. I just LOVE that little watering can!!

Wading through a sea of paintbrushes was totally worth it for the beautiful loot and the bonus tomes at 15 and 35 wins! :o

Now I appear to be deceased. I don't know which one of you staff is responsible for this, but know that you have my absolute adoration.

@Kale Free shop will be happening :)

Oh, the Face Painting stall! I wonder if we'll get new designs someday...

They said the Free Shop was definitely going to happen before the 17th (Summer doesn't end until the 22nd, I think?)

Kale

Keel Hauliday? What about the free shop? Is that cancelled? I thought that was supposed to come after Neugarten

You've found a Hidden Opponent!

Camouflaged Blake challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum!

(On the way to Noijatat.)

Apparently I missed that one. :D

You've found a Hidden Opponent!

Possessed Noijatat challenges you to a fight in the Battle Coliseum!

Took about 10 tries, but finally got her. Given the beginning stats, though, I think I'll hold off for a time. Now that she's in my list of Secret Challengers, she's not going anywhere.

@hannahharmin
That is what happened to me with Esther. Never got the event, but saw a mention of a similar situation for the next month's Not-so-friendly challenger and went to see if she was in the Secret tab for opponents. She was.

@PiplupMagby34
An old NPC, actually. From the first plot event from Subeta that I was here for. Has to be at least 10 years ago now; probably slightly longer than that. I had actually almost forgotten about her existence before today.

@pointycatears
No, they haven't done super much with the Islanders as they've done with the Pirates since that plot so long ago. The 2016 plot was the first I'd seen them do more with them than just the game Matlal's Jewels.

What I mean to say is that I doubt the face painting thing will be updated any time soon, but I'd love to be wrong about that.

@Dude I think the face painting thing is from an old event.

It turns out I did get her but missed or didn't receive an event for it. 0_0

Wonderful loot.

Sneaky

Wait, I just had a thought. What if the possessor doesn't like pirates? I doubt it could be Merana because she doesn't talk the same way as her, but still, it's something to think about...

I'm also wondering which of the things Matteiu said that this is related to (the Floating Market incident has already happened, we know something will happen in Shadowglen at some point, and the stone pillars seem to imply something will also happen in Saherimos as well). Maybe we'll have more information when the CS challenger comes out.

Ok, we newbies MUST be informed of this face paint feature somehow :o this is awesome??? (and beautiful loot too!)

hannahharmin

@Dude - She's the face painter at Omen Islands. :)

How does one get her as an opponent? I've been trying and can't seem to trigger her.

Galaxia

Oh, I didn't realize face painting was working, I thought it was broken. That's neat.

Sneaky

@Dude And that's why I think the Islanders need more focus. Even if it's just items related to them, like the new loot.

I don't know enough about the Islanders to have predicted this. Maybe they need more focus, I don't think they've been featured much outside of the 2009 plot I wasn't there for (even the 2016 plot only really focused on 2 of them).

Anyway, I really like that border that's part of the loot. I also hope she'll be alright afterwards *Remembers what the mysterious possessor said when the last CS challenger was released*
