Fractured Scary Tales

 So, I don't know why I felt a little jumpy today running Fractured Halls. I though maybe it was because I got the "Stormkeeper every 15 seconds" power right off the bat, and I have a bad habit of frantically searching for an enemy to hit when a spell procs, so I spent a lot of the time playing whack-a-spell, especially since I have the boots that proc Lava Burst every time I hit Earth Shock, and Earth Shock procs super fast when I'm casting instant Chain Lightnings every 15 seconds. But then I also had to stop for pictures every time I noticed a creepy bit of decor, like this:


What even IS this? It's small, I probably should have gotten a picture of my Goblin beside it for scale, but she's definitely taller, I'd say it's companion pet sized. Is it a cell for some kind of pet that glows like it's exploding? I ignored a good many Stormkeeper procs to try to figure out what this was, and if there was anything I could rescue out of it or loot. So that was weird. Then there were the more typical skeletons lying around, but because everything seemed eerie I had to get pictures:



I saw another puddle of blood after this one that had something hanging above and dripping into it. Apparently I missed getting a picture of it, though, which made sense because when you stand around too long an enemy spawns on top of you; which actually worked well for me this time, since I always had a Stormkeeper proc ready to go.

Then there were the bodies/body parts hanging everywhere:



By the end of the run I was taking a closer look at everything, even this guy:



I had no idea Mawrats looked like this up close, but now I've looked it up and found out you can get Mawrat pets in various colors. So that will be a fun grind* for the next expansion(s). 

*Looking at you, Shadowclaw, Geomancer Flintdagger, Beastrider Kama, Skullripper, Knight Captain Aldrin, and Will of N'Zoth.

Who Knew?

 

If someone said three years from now
I'd be long gone,
I'd stand up and punch them out,
'Cause they're all wrong.
Thought I knew better
'Cause I said forever
And ever
