Waldo's Weekly - Kissing the Beehive

[Hobby Wyrd]

Hey Wyrdos,

This week, we found Waldo buzzing around some old company files. When we asked him about his buzzarre beehive-iour, he said he needed to look through the arc-hives, but finding anything was like pollen teeth.

So, while we try to convince Waldo to beehave, let’s take a look at one of the new spooky ghosts you’ll be facing in Vagrantsong: Encore!

Beekeeping is a tradition that is tens of thousands of years old, with a rich history stretching across the globe. And like many age-old traditions, beekeeping and the folklore behind it found its way to America.

One such beekeeping tradition is making sure to tell your bees of important events that happen in your life, such as births, marriages, and even deaths. If the beekeeper happened to forget to tell the bees, it was believed that a penalty would be paid.

That is one of the major inspirations for Honeyed Henry, a brand new Haint in Vagrantsong: Encore, the upcoming expansion for our spooky boss battler. As it turns out, nobody told his hive of poor Henry’s passing, and the penalty to be paid was worse than anyone could have imagined.

But Henry won’t be the only adversary you’ll have to face in his Scenario. With the inclusion of two new terrain types, you’ll also have to navigate around his angry and aimless Swarms of bees before they get out of control.

Can you make it out unharmed, or will you get stung along the way?

The only way to find out is to back Vagrantsong: Encore on Kickstarter, which launches on September 19th!
