We ventured onwards, without learning if Eleanessa was now at peace.Battle of Blood Island (1960) ** 1/2 (out of 4) American GI's Moe (Richard Devon) and Ken (Ron Gans) are the only survivors of their platoon and they wash up on an island held by the Japanese. We received the thanks of Eleanessa, the Ancestor Tree. The Ancestor Tree ought to be at peace now. We have found the arch-demon Adramahlikh, also known as Doctor Daeva. We have continued on our quest without dealing with the arch-demon. Now that we have escaped from the Nameless Isle, we may have an opportunity to seek out Adramahlikh. Perhaps we will be presented with an opportunity to deal with this arch-demon, Adramahlikh, at a later stage in our journey. We left Reaper's Coast with investigating the Ancestor Tree on Bloodmoon Island any further. Jahan believes that the arch-demon can be found in Arx. We also told him that we believe that it currently possesses a certain Doctor Daeva. We told Jahan the name of the arch-demon - Adramahlikh. Eleanessa has asked us to find and kill Adramahlikh, if we even happen to cross its path. This must be Daeva - the one who tried to save her, and subsequently vanished. According to her, the arch-demon took the form of a doctor, and left the island. She told us the name of the arch-demon that had possessed her: Adramahlikh. We woke the Ancestor Tree's spirit, Eleanessa, from her nightmare. The Advocate and his minions attacked us for trying to speak to the Ancestor Tree. We need to find out how to communicate with it. We tried to speak to the Ancestor Tree, but its replies were gibberish. It seemed as though he was hiding something. We spoke to the Advocate - he told us to leave the island. We learned that the Black Ring forces were intent on finding a druid who could help them complete their task on the island. I learned how the Black Ring attempted to get past the Death Fog that surrounds Bloodmoon Island. A doctor known as Daeva brought her to the island in an effort to save her - he carried out an exorcism against the wishes of his colleagues, which ultimately freed the demon from Eleanessa, killing her in the process. We discovered the truth about the Ancestor Tree - how it was once an elf called Eleanessa, who was possessed by a demonic force. We discovered the location of the Archive. The Archives were kept hidden by the religious order that once called this blighted place their home. We learned that there is an Archive somewhere on the island that likely contains details on how to communicate with the Ancestor Tree. It seems that they want to prise secrets from a particular tree, and have been ordered to risk passage to the Deathfog-shrouded island in order to acquire them. We found a letter with details of the Black Ring's activity on Bloodmoon Island. He said that the Ancestor Tree supposedly knows the name of a powerful arch-demon. The tree thanks you and gives you the task to kill Doctor Daeva, who is possessed by a demon called Adramahlikh.Cast Spirit Vision and talk to the Ancestor Tree and invoke its name.Kill him which is also part of the A Hunter of Wicked Things quest. If you kill them, The Advocate will spawn there but he also doesn't want you to talk to the tree.Either win the persuasion checks or kill them.It's guarded by many Black Ring soldiers. Locate the Tree which is in the middle of the map.When you are done with the Archives be sure you have the quest The Advocate you get from the demon camp located on that island.The only way to open the chest it to lockpick it.There is also a Tenebrium chest here that will sap one source if you interact with it.A lizard party member can translate what it says. ![]() Inside the hidden room, you will find the Unusual blade. ![]() You will need quite an amount of wits to be to interact with it.
![]() It happens that I have always had my twitter accounts set up so twitter sends me an email whenever I get a direct message, so I can carry on a conversation in pretty-close-to-real-time with someone who is direct-messaging me. When it comes to handling direct messages those update-delays can be more annoying. The memory usage used to be worse, but they’ve been improving it over time. I do find that I need to quit it and restart it about once a week or two, or the amount of memory that it uses grows high enough to slow down other applications that I’m using. Given the way I use it, the slight update delays do not bother me. It’s running in the background, and I check those streams when I have a chance. But on my Macs, I leave twitteriffic running almost constantly, logged into four different twitter streams (one for jokes, one for music, one for programming, and one for “just me”). In my case, I spend most of my time sitting in front of a Mac, not an iOS device, so I can’t say much about the iOS version of Twitteriffic. ![]() So even with those delays, I’m happier with Twitteriffic than the other options I’ve tried. ![]() I’ve found the official Twitter client (for macOS) to be basically unusable, and in fact I’m not all that happy with the web interface either. It doesn’t update as instantly as it used to, but I’m aware that Twitter has changed the rules for 3rd-party clients (such as Twitteriffic) in ways which make it impossible to do instant updates. I don’t understand some of the recent reviews which claim that the timeline does not update. My usage of Twitter might be different than other people, but the macOS version of Twitteriffic works fine for me.
