Drakkar Tales 1

Back to Bits of Info.

The tale begins with a visit to Juntes... Ruthless and cocky was Juntes and how he continuously tells all of his willingness to spar. And others mention their desire for a trophy... a ring of high combat probalilities and magical gauntlets. So, with the support of a band, I decide to take up his challenge.     And so it starts... I enter Juntes' tent and the others, using a mentalist spell, ghost themselves safely inside a nearby wall. Juntes comes out of his corner, leaping suddenly with a flying jump kick. Spots appear before my eyes and blood spouts from my nose, while I am sent back a pace. Juntes in one  move, knocked out my wind along with my confidence. Much to my dismay, I am unable to make my escape for the exit was walled in. Drinking one Instant Heal after the other, round after round, Juntes unmercifully pounding.        While continuing to scrape at the wall... The mentalist freaks out and attempts to cast passwall but in his panic, causes the ground at my feet to crumble and crush my badly beaten body. I did not know of his mistake, except that I felt more bones breaking. I gaze up at the Mentalist, knowing my end is near. Most of my heal pots are gone, and now blood streams over my eyes and missing fingernails from repeatedly clawing at the wall for a way out.         At last... Almost to the point of unconciousness, my body becomes less corporeal and was able to reach safety within the walls. And so ends the tale of IronCloud's first one-on-one sparring match with Juntes.                         IronCloud     Martial Artist of 18th skill

My narrow escape... One day, while drinking a Stan's at the Steel Flower, I was engaged in idle conversation with many a patron of Darwin's fine establishment. Unbenownst to us all, an assassin slipped amongst us. Looking like an unexperienced adventurer, none payed attention to the man. With a sudden explosion of acid and magical energy, all who were standing in the room perished. Calling upon my instincts, I quickly called upon the ritual of Restore, appearing west of the Last Chance. I checked my body for missing parts and my gear, finding everthing intact except for my +6 hally. I raced back to the pub in search of my weapon of great power and value. I witnessed the ghoulishness of someone searching the dead bodies that were strewn about. I went to the spot of my death and looked around for my weapon. I saw two halberds lying there. I picked one up and held it, looking again to get the second. The fiend that caused the massacre was now transmuting all items from the dead people. Suddenly, the second halberd was gone, being turned into gold. Several of the fallen performed the ritual and were now in search of their gear. I went to my locker and got my last sense ring. Checking the remaining weapon, I find that it wasn't mine. The hally I was holding was a +7! Calling out to all that were about, I found the weapon belonged to Snowy. I gave the hally back to Snowy and trudged off to find another weapon of great strengh and value.               Seville__BORED

Sometimes F/Ms forget that they are supposed to be intelligent... Being called to help on a Graagh hunt, my ego needed some calming down. The hunt was going great, me casting PsiMirror to make sure the bait remained targetted and helping the healer kill the zoo while the sticks took care of the Graagh itself. Suddenly the Graagh got proned and retargetted on the healer. With the healer out of commission, the hunt was about to turn nasty, so immediately all was done to get the Graagh back on his bait. One more stick got killed inbetween. The zoo then started to pick on everyone, the archers and hally guys really started to thin out the party. Eventually only the bait and I remained standing, making sure to keep the PM up on the bait. I tried to master the zoo so the others could come get dressed. An archer stunned me and finished me off. I knew that I had get back ASAP to PM the Graagh or this hunt would turn into an outside rescue operation. I restored, raced to the seller, stocked up on IH, ran to the edge of Tree Town, jumped down and clicked to go North to the Graagh castle. But somehow I didn't move..  In my hurry, I had forgotten to drink an IH after restoring and had died jumping of the edge of Tree Town. The PM on the Graagh wore off.... Karma
