The early wurm gets the bird

Last night's venture into Dreadnought's Rift was certainly an amusing one. Our goal was to capture the elite skill "Feast of Corruption" for Patronus. Little did we know the evil that the programmers had in mind. We went into Dreadnoughts with a fairly high morale boost. Soon all that changed as groups of Hill Giants and Dwarves made short work of us and quickly reduced our Morale Boost to a 60% Death Penalty. Things kept popping out of nowhere and we found ourselves dying repeatedly. Luckily, we could still kill at least some of the enemies so through repeated deaths, we were able to make slow but somewhat steady progress. Eventually when we reached the spawn area, we realized that whoever designed this level must have a grudge on all society as the spawn area was surrounded by about 20+ giants. Through some stroke of luck though, we managed to isolate the wurm, but it still killed us 2 more times. Finally, the wurm decided he had lived long enough and decided to get stuck on a rock and only attack the warriors. We killed it quickly thereafter and Patronus got the skill. Overall, I think the moral of the story is that wurms suck, there is just nothing you can do about it.
