The Wire Exploit

The Dangling Wires · Tiatha's Wire Trick

Mistress Tiatha's trick of hanging wires from the aura tower's clock arms to carry Li Na's Dreads into the club.

Story so far

Dozens of wires now dangle from the arms of the clock on the Extend Aura Tower in Shanty Town. They were not part of the original tower design — they are an exploit, and Elle's manager Mistress Tiatha came up with the idea.

Li Jun and Zhang trail those wires into the Temple of The Dagda, pretending to admire the stained glass while they lay them, with a rock wedged in the door to keep the line unbroken. Every crawler in range first drinks an Aura Potion to go Closed Off, and Bonded Pets are stored, because Li Na's Dreads will not discriminate. If it works, Toyotomi starts on The Nest immediately.

Appearance

Dozens of thin wires hanging from a clocktower's clock arms and trailing across the ground into a temple.
