I keep an online journal of my adventures on Calypso. They are hosted by blogspot, and I will update this thread with the text from there (eudsgurr.blogspot.com). For photos please see the other version.

Teleport run to Nymphtown

This morning I started off with three missing teleporters on Eudoria. As you will see in this report and the next, I now only lack one teleporter on the continent: Camp Echidna. For the morning's run, I set my goal to reach Nymphtown. I started the trip in Minopolis.

From Minopolis, I headed straight East. I thought it would be an easy run to the ocean there, and then swim along the coast until it was safe to contact the teleporter from the ocean directly to Nymphtown. That was a bad plan. Just a few hundred meters out of Minopolis I was attacked by a extremely nasty creature. One bite, and I was flat on my back. I was not to be deterred!

I made a new plan: run North, hit the ocean, swim all the way around the cape and down South to conclude my above plan. You can see what the local wildlife thought about this plan!

Fortunately I made it down to the ocean, and started swimming. I didn't notice an obnoxious little critter who managed to kill me before itself died from drowning! Was I to be deterred now? No!

Third time's a charm! I headed South, South-East, from Minopolis and managed to reach the ocean this way. Then I swam South, as I originally planned. Along the way, I was tempted to head inland in search of strange and wonderous sights. I saw a lot of intimidating creatures, wonderful forests, magnificent mountains, and I met death. Again. I was revived at a camp that subsequently didn't show up on my navigator. A secret camp? The usual, official container and turret was in place. I took a snapshot:

After heading back to the relative safety of the ocean, I continued my swim to the South. I finally made contact with the teleporter and requested an extraction.

Nymphtown at last! I didn't have time to see much of the surrounding area. I look forward to explore the Nymphtown neighbourhood on a later date.
This last snapshot shows me celebrating my successful run from Minopolis to Nymphtown.
