Last night my wife reported, "Oh hey what's this? A big hedge maze in the twilight forest?" We immediately geared up (I went full nanosuit and saber, my friend went full TC with multiple wands, my wife went with an infinite power bow). We spend fully 45 minutes making gear, farming xp (macerating coal macerating coal macerating coal) and go in. The maze is easy to conquer. We start to head back and as we do, we see a big structure. "What's this?" Suddenly a Naga leaps out and begins to attack us, unawares.
Despite being surprised, despite never having fought that thing before, despite being wounded from a well-hidden nearby druid spawner, we still won and no one died, and got 9 naga scales and a ton of levels for our trouble (and a pretty nice naga statue trophy for our rec room).
It felt really good to win for once.
