The tale of a newb named Zim
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 1:25 am
Greetings all! I am here, being of sound mind and health to tell the tale of my ongoing adventures in the lands of sosaria. Forgive the lack of pics in these most early accounts because I forgot my camera... I will do my best to illiustrate some key events!
Day 1: Does this shard have what it takes?

Oldschool moongates, oldschool music, and general era accuracy? check
Did I manage to get PKed AND die to a zombie within my first 10 minutes of play? CHECK!
My day began as any other noob. I created my character to resemble that which I have done many times before. After learning that total skillpoints does NOT affect he rate of gain, I grabbed my 5 newb bandages, bought a katana, and headed off to the graveyard north of brit to slay me some undead. After a long and grueling battle between myself and a skeleten, I finally had the upper hand! 15 minutes in and I was starting to hit! I then heard something whiss through the air and the all to recognisable UUUUURRRRRGGG!
In the moments as I lay on the ground before my life totally escapes me, I hear the words... "you got sniped son..."
I awoke what seemed like ages later in the local healers hut dressed in a strange smelling white cotton robe. It smelled like the wrong side of an ettin but I was thankful to be alive. I decided to not tempt fate again and to this time stock up on some bandages. I spent what litle money I had left on a new katana and ran south to go pick some cotton.
On my way I could hear the sounds of a fierce battle! Being a noob, I ran straight for it only to find it was a duel on the top of someones tower!! The door was unlocked so I went inside and climed the stairs to the top. The battle was between two fierce warriors using poisoned weapons in fron of what looked like a mage. Trying to curry favor? Unimpressed I continued on my journey.
Not TWO steps away from the magelords tower I was waylaid by a foul breathed zombie! The odor secreated by its loins was remanissent of warm and stale beer. Even more strange was the motion it was making with its hips... ...all the while beckoning me to come nearer. Weakened by my earlier confrontation with the sniper, my blade fell short when trying to fell the beast.
Beaten and left to wander the spirit world, I decided to haunt the dexxors and the magelord. To my suprize the mage brought me back to life! He immidiately went downstairs, seeming to float down the stairwell as he went. He then ran over to the broken husk that was my old body. Sening the wiles of the beast he let loose with a might bolt of energy slaying the undead braggard! Making sure I had my belongings and was fit to travel again he asked if I needed any more assistance. Feelinf invigorated by the words In Vas Mani, I thanked him and continued on my journey.
After heading through the moongate and arriving in the town of jehlom, I decided to camp for the night. Who knows what tomorrow will bring!
