Codex of Finite Knowledge


Well, my fellow adventurers, you are about to here a story, of a Warrior, whose adventures where close to the lamest in the land, and has discovered many, horrible ways to die, and several oddities about Despair. Now enough of the intro!

Good Beginnings, Bad Endings....


I wanted to start a MUD, really badly. So I tried RoD. I started a cleric named Holus. I completed the beginning area in a hour, which is pretty slow. Then, I got to go to the Academy! Yippie! Well, it took me well over an hour to find my way out. So when I started to explore, I decided to look in the Art Gallery. But I couldn't get out, because I started a deadly character! This was horrendous! Anyway, I died trying to kill the receptionist, and tried it again, and again. So I went to pkill town, via a helpful player. So I explored a bit, and ending up dying again. I was back at DH, so I was very happy to go and raise my level in the Battleground. So I decided to explore, and got "locked" out of DH again! And I ran out of mv points so I quit! Later, I make a friendly dying Warrior called Judar, and here's his story.

A Warrior Emerges from the Ashes

This time it was much better! I didn't die so much, and I raised my levels quickly, (3 hours to get to level 3) and I was happily bopping around. I wnet killing goblins and such. I never used a potion! I did die and it took me a long time to get my HP back. That was until I started exploring the newt caves. I was a happy warrior until I needed to sleep. So I rested. Now as I was slowly raising up my HP, some newts, kicked my butt back to DH. I needed to get back and I did with a little help.

"Help me! I Lost My Corpse!"

After I died, I went on a killing spree. I killed myself everywhere! It was stupid! I died at least 20 or so times! I barely got my corpse back. I went to places I shouldn't have went to, and I was a general mess. I hardly knew where my corpse was! I even died under the Battlegrounds. I went to the Galaxy and died there, in a black hole and just about every thing imaginable. I haven't even died at a DT yet! This is when I discovered "tanking" or using potions. I died, just not as often.

"Wanna kill the Shopkeepers again?"

Now I was on a roll, with the use of tanking, I could go wherever, and kick just about everythings butt! I went to Ocean Keep, and New Thalos to gain experience. I group with some really cool guys, until I had to leave the MUD to work on my long-neglected homepage. I didn't visit the MUD again for some time, and now I just got started again.

"If I had a dime for every time I died........."

I decided to go to Arachnos to explore some, which wasn't a bad thing, but I accendentaly drop my ring of holding, which contained my stuff! I was on a quest to get several items to join the Warrior's Guild, and figured I had it made. I ws down to my last item, a black knight's visor, and I heard it was here. I just discovered DT's especally in Camelot and the Galaxy. So when I went through a door, I died, so I quit for a while, not missing my corpse at all. I came back later, and mugged a DH guard, taking his stuff, and deciding to start anew.

Oddities

* Ever wonder when you die and your running around naked, do people visualize this, or do they even notice?
* Top places to Die!
1. Galaxy, with two DT, one you can get your corpse back in.
2. Carinival, with a really sneaky DT.
3. Camelot, nothing but a maze with a DT that you can run into all too often
4. DH Art Gallery, imagine teleporting into the top 3 places.
5. Any high level place. The creatures are usually too strong.
* How long does it take you to realize that the compare command isn't accurate enough?
* Ever wonder why a cockroach's exoskeleton would even fit you?
* Ever see anyone wear a frozen side of beef?
* Ever wish you had SCAN after you DTed?
