One Shots: Overlooking the quarry

When you see screenshots like this that almost seem to hover on the very verge of looking like paintings themselves, you can definitely see why the artists at ArenaNet have won several awards for their work on Guild Wars. With the art for Guild Wars 2 out, we can't wait to see more of that world. For now, though, we'll just enjoy today's great One Shots and long description, sent in to us by Sunspear. If you'd like to join the fun, send in your own image and note to oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description. We'll do the rest. Now, on with the note!

Quarrymaster Bohanna: "Hail, Sunspear! I am Quarrymaster Bohanna. I am in charge of the quarry at the Cliffs of Dohjok, and I need the help of a strong player like you. You see, we deliver stone to support the sculptors creating our monuments. But we've been unable to meet our quotas recently and construction has stopped. Every time the miners try to excavate more stone, they get attacked by mandragor."

The Cliffs of Dohjok is a forested ridge situated in southern Istan, between the swampy lowlands to the southwest and the flat plains to the east. A beautiful waterfall lies to the west. Istanis are currently carrying out quarrying work in the cliffs to the east of the waterfall. The Quarry you see on the screenshot is deserted and overrun by corsairs and mandragor.
