GONEN'S BRIDGE
Gonen's Bridge

Monday September 15, Gonen's Bridge

"Leave it for the torches, lads, and make haste for Gonen!"

Cruniac's words soon spread through the entire camp, and men began hurrying in all directions. Moments before, the runner sent to warn Tallow had returned, only to tell us that Tallow, along with every other village and town along the northern border of Forest Heart, had been ravaged by the undead. Even worse, the enemy is amassing a huge army less than a dayŐs march from here. Cruniac believes they are coming to recapture the keep.

The commander has sent me and a group of Dwarves ahead of our main force to "stuff Gonen like a turkey." I was unsure of his meaning until we reached Gonen's Bridge and the Dwarves began to load the bridge with satchel charges. Apparently he plans to destroy the bridge behind us once we are all across, to make pursuit more difficult.

Cruniac and some other men stayed behind to put the keep to the torch, thus preventing it from falling back into the hands of the enemy. As we began our ascent into the foothills of the Cloudspine, I turned back and saw the blaze well under way. And that is when I noticed movement around the keep.

I thought I knew what fear was, or that I had known fear. I was wrong. This night I have experienced true fear. The army of the Dark is upon us and it has no end. They march toward us, shoulder to shoulder, for as far as the eye can see. The very earth must be crying out at the damnable weight of them.

 

Go to the Field Guide Entry documenting this level's easter eggs and points of interest with pictures.

Mission Objective: Your forces are being chased by the forces of the Dark. Find GonenŐs bridge and cross it. Garrick, your white-cloaked captain, must survive. Destroy the bridge behind you.

Notable Quote: "Took you long enough, Garrack!"

Notes: There are two paths through this level, one of which gives you a bit of a surprise on the Dark ambushes, but is less obvious and a bit more Wight-laden.

The following are the pregame pics for this level.

Legends and Lore is really Forrest's baby, though Gholsbane probably does more work on it nowadays. It also contains a lot of work from the Myth Nontoxic days whose exact authors have been lost or forgotten. Some of these lemurs include Joshstar, Orange, Lacrymosa, and poena.dare. Original "Journal of the Legion" concept by poena.dare and Hamish Sinclair. Other authors are credited as appropriate in their individual articles.

Myth at Bungie.org is now maintained almost entirely by Gholsbane and Zandervix; Forrest is (theoretically) still around calling the shots when he can be bothered to check his email, and Claude, as always, OWNZ U. Original Nontoxic™ webpage design copyright (c) 1998 by Joshstar; updates and revisions mostly by Forrest. Many thanks to all those old Nontoxic™ munkies - you know who you are.
