Odds and Ends is a piece of Lore in New World MMORPG. It's a part of Tales of Windsward.
Found in Amrine Temple
How many of these thrice-damned things are there? I tried to get into the inner sanctum of the temple, but more and more of those unliving things kept appearing.
As soon as I'd dealt with one, the last one had already risen again! I had to retreat, else I'd risk being stuck here, clawing my way out over a dozen or more deaths and rebirths.
It may take an army to clear these things out... Maybe drag all of their bones into a deep, dark hole and throw them inside.
Found near Windsward Watchtower
The sun shines on the water of the ocean, and it is... pretty? Beautiful? Magical?
Bah. Never could wrap my head around poetry. Too many flowery words, not enough action. Why can't I just write "The sun was bright on the water." Simple, tells how it is.
But the ladies like it... She would like it... So I'll keep trying.
The sun... glistens? on the water...
Found in Windsward Settlement
Matthias,
Your grams told me you wanted her stew recipe to take to this new world you're off to, so I've copied it here into your cookbook.
Wishing you a safe journey,
-Mum
To a cauldron of water, add 1 whole turkey (pluck'd), 1 whole rabbit (skin'd), 4 large chop'd squash.
Set the cauldron on the flame to boil, then add 3 handfuls of briar branches, 8 chopped carrots, and a full head of cabbage. Stir occasionally.
After 1 hour, move the cauldron to half heat. Add 2 handfuls of flour to thicken. For more flavor, add a dollop of sausage drippings.
Add herbs to taste.
Peel meat from turkey and rabbit, serve.
Will keep for days if kept warm and more water added as needed.
Found in Bullrush Wash
Barely made it across the bridge before those winged Withered attacked, and during the scuffle, the bridge was destroyed. We were able to fight them back for now, but it's too late to press on to the settlement tonight, and we'll need the light to see what kind of damage the wagons have taken.
The differences in these last two trips has been night and day. Our last trip down into Windsward, perfect weather, no problems at all, and even shaved time off by taking a shortcut between two of those strange Corrupted pillars that have started to appear. This trip, however, has been one problem after another! Broken axles, spoiled food, attacks by every blasted creature on the island... it's like we're attracting every bit of bad luck possible. Perhaps we used up whatever luck we had left?
Ah well. We're safe enough for now, and on first look, it seems we only lost a bit of the trade goods. I'm sure Dauti will understand once we explain.
