Personal Journal

September 25, 1998

Currently I am an Expert Swordsman with a skill of 74, so I can take down some pretty tough creatures.  My archery is at 64.2 and climbing fairly quickly.  I really love the archery skill but if you intend to go this route it can cost quite a bit at 5 gold pieces per shot.

After using the heavy crossbow for some time now, I am thinking strongly of pursuing the art of Archery full time.

September 26, 1998

Well I finally got my archery skill up to: 71 - Expert!  My swordsmanship is at: 78, Can't wait for 80!

Got pked for the first time in over 2 weeks!  Just so you know "WATCH OUT FOR RESPECTABLE ODIN."  Still can't figure out why he attacked one of our guild members; Silas.  I was only too quick to assist Silas and was retired after a pretty good fight.  "Sure wish I would have had some healing potions or some bandages!"  Oh well, just remember that even though there noteriety is good, doesn't mean that they are always good citizens.

I just bought my first magic x-bow at 3.5k.  If I would have known I would have bought the accuracy x-bow for 2.5k, but the x-bow I did buy said it also would cause clumsiness to whatever was hit.  Although this was true, the magic on the clumsiness side lasted about 5 shots.  Definitely not worth the extra 1k it costed me. But still all in all not a bad deal considering it took my archery skill up by 14.   It doesn't do quite as much damage as the heavy crossbow, but my accuracy is greatly enhanced and I can shoot more per minute.  So if you have the cash I would recommend buying a magic x-bow if you want to perfect the archery skill.

Second, I was talking to a character by the name of Mr Miner and wanted to spar, he brought out his fighter character. We went outside of the city limits and agreed to use swords to increase our stats. We sat there for about 2 minutes arguing who was going to strike first, he then started using magic and my character resisted his feeble attempts. Of course I ran like hell when he started casting them. hehe. A couple of other guys seen this and agreed that if they spotted his other character; Mr Miner, that they would put an arrow in his heart for me. lol  The morale of this little tale is this: if your going to be a prick, don't let anyone else see it!

I thought this would be your basic night when I would take a stroll over to the local dungeon, kill me some creatures, get some gold, and increase my stats.   Not as easy as it may sound.  I was doing great, clearing a nice path through the dark dungeon and slaying any beast that stood in my way of fame and fortune, then I saw a pouch just laying there next to a group of creatures (3 Giant Rats, 1 Giant Serpent, 1 Scorpion, and those little annoying slimes), which usually indicates someone had been slain here and that there was great fortune in the pouch.  I decided to pick up the bag and check out it's contents since I had 2 greater heal potions and about 4 bandages left (Big Mistake).  Never pick up a pouch next to creatures.  So I was standing there overloaded checking out the goods and looked at my health; 50%, I started to panic.   Drop the weapon, drink the potion and drop the bag I thought.  Well I finished the potion looked at my health 30%, they were hitting me as was drinking the potion, so the effect was useless.  I downed the second potion as fast as I could, no effect, I knew that I would be joining the dead very soon now. Then the sound of the horrible scream that you hear as the screen fades away and BLACKNESS.  I watched as my horse Quick fought to save his own life, I thought to myself, "Run Quick, get out hell out of there!"  I could not bare to watch him perish, I left to head back to town.

Having being defeated, I wanted to get some more armor and venture back just to get the items that I lost, mostly the 3.5k magic x-bow I had bought previously.   I ran into a good friend named Gonnusuke.  He was kind enough to give me a full set of platemail to help get going again.  Thank you Gonnusuke, you are a good friend indeed, call on me whenever you need.  So I decided to head back to the dungeon now that I was armed and ready again.

Went back to the dungeon and started to look for my lost items.  I knew it was going good when I started to see creatures all over again, (this means that no one else has been down here since I left.)  I went back to the place that I had left the world from and there was a nice cloth pouch just laying there and the creatures where gone.  I opened the pouch, did not pick it up right away this time, and examined the items; everything that I had lost was in there, including the magic x-bow that I had paid 3.5k for.  I headed straight for the door and left.

Got a call from Methos (ICQ) and he met me by our old guild house, (we have 2 now) and he gave me a key to our Wonderful New and Improved House.  It's located by the city of Trinsic with a beautiful mountain located close by for some serious mining.  Not to change the subject but while I'm talking about Methos, just wanted to say "you couldn't ask for a better GM then him."  Make sure to show him respect whenever you are around, OR ELSE! lol
