Hydra hunt

2006-01-07T19:37:00.000+10:30

Today I went Hydra hunting! Accompanying me was my friend Topher, and girlfriend Lady-Wyrm.

We slayed over sixty of the poison beasts… Unfortunately we didn’t get any very rare items; the hunt was fun enough still.

I was the blocker in this particular hunt, I found them to be quite easy overall… Though occasionally when two come at once things tend to heat up (or cool down?). Their melee attacks are decent at best, however when they feel threatened they tend to spam there water waves and poison a lot.

I decided not to photograph the wild Hydra this time… In place of the photos is the tale of the hunt, as foretold by Lady-Wyrm.

Necromancer quest and a milestone

2005-12-31T21:38:00.000+10:30

I finally advanced to the respectable level of 60 today; it was a great joy… Especially as it signalled the end of a tiring and somewhat long (for lack of a better word) Scarab hunt!

Making the occasion even more joyful was my good friend Topher’s response… He was practically immediately waiting for me in the Darashia Depot, to help me complete the legendary Necromancer quest.

I was grateful and quickly hurried along from Ankrahmun to meet him.

It was quite scary down there, the Necromancers seemed like they had been expecting us… They had there Mummies and an assortment of other un-dead waiting beside them… Thankfully we didn’t run into the infamous Necropharus!

Topher was brave in the face of a gang of un-dead, killing every last one before my eyes… The Necromancers where screaming and pleading for mercy. After he dealt with them, I received there precious loot!

Once we had completed the quest… We decided to hunt a few Vampires, we where doing quite fine… Until…

Five came at once, ALL attacking me... Topher seemed quite distressed about this, Sudden Death runes started flying and Vampire kind started dying. I was shocked by this situation but was able to keep up with healing quite alright.

About five minutes after this event I blacked out for some reason… Completely lost consciousness for many minutes, I was informed… Incredibly I survived thanks to Topher, whom kept the Vampires at bay and pushed me to a mildly safe position.

I must say a thank you to Topher, you saved my life… I’m in your debt.

Rats journey to bless a dragon

2005-12-25T15:59:00.000+10:30

My good friend Rat traversed the lands with me today. We where trying to obtain the mystical blessings of the five magic sages

The first blessing was quite difficult for Rat; the massive amounts of fire burned his fur, then his whiskers, thus losing his sense of direction somewhat. We managed to leave with our lives intact though... The next part of our journey involved a long walk and gathering of food...

We had finally made it all the way to Carlin... There was no danger here thankfully, so we left with haste to make up for all the time spent walking... Unfortunately it was an even longer walk to the next Sage... Though this too had a distinct lack of danger... Where we getting roped into a false sense of security?

It would appear so... On our long walk to the fourth Sage we where ambushed by a barrage of Snakes and Cyclops. After dealing with them we made our way back to town. Unfortunately Rat could not follow me to my next destination...

But he was there with me in spirit :)

Lady-Wyrm and the drunken Dwarf

2005-12-25T15:53:00.000+10:30

I assisted my beautiful girlfriend in a Dwarf Guard hunt the other day. She had just advanced in magical wisdom and know how... So she could summon two Monks to aid us... I was blocking the Dwarf Guards most of the time, while she would sic the Monks on them, and then follow up the attack with her magic wand.

This system worked very well for us, I didn’t need to heal at all… And she was practically never in danger.

At one point a Dwarf Guard we where battling against got a little drunk and started insulting… This seemed to anger Lady-Wyrm… She ordered the Monks to stand down, while aiming a Sudden Death Rune directly at it. The Dwarf Guard nearly fainted with the blow, no matter how drunk he was… That hit was a sobering experience.

Mr. Claus, the Black Knight and a Teddy Bear

2005-12-15T22:14:00.000+10:30

I must have been good this year. When I (like so many others) went to visit Santa Claus, instead of getting a selection of Apples or Candy... I was presented with a totally huggable Teddy Bear!

This news seems to have traveled far and wide in a matter of hours... Perfect strangers keep asking me to hug and tug at it's ears.

Only three words can really summarize my feelings on the subject.

Best... Christmas... Ever...

Another exciting event unfolded a few days ago... I met a friend of Aqauanub's, Xunazel... A very gifted Royal Paladin whom helped me take on the deranged minded Black Knight.

It was my first time in that den of madness... Reading the books as we approached his quarters, made my stomach churn with worry... Thanks to Xunazel's well aimed bolts, and my shield though... We overcame his strength and agility. Taking his loot and treasure for our own.

Krazy Krew

2005-12-08T15:38:00.000+10:30

I have joined the new guild Krazy Krew made by Krazyloon. Whilst it is only new, the snowball effect seems to be firmly in place for this troupe of Ruberans... High levels and respected people are gathering, and already talk of guild hunts and quests are being spoken of.

I was surprised and humbled to be offered a place in the guild... Hail Krazy Krew!

On a side note, I'd like to acknowledge Myrmidon... I enjoyed my time getting to know you all, and I hope there are no hard feelings. Myrmidon was my first guild, and will always remain special to me.

Magic light

2005-12-04T21:19:00.000+10:30

As I stared out to sea, wondering if there are any other water dragons out there... I felt a slight breeze, then shivers... Port Hope, deep in the jungle is a cold and frightening place... I decided to light up my area with a few stark words... "Utevo Lux"... Nothing happened for a while... Suddenly all the remaining light in the area was collaborating, I thought it was going to explode... Light filled the sky, bright and warm... I felt stronger, maybe I'll get some new runes :)

Paradox tower

2005-11-06T22:10:00.001+10:30

Not long ago I went on the Paradox tower quest with a friend and two others. The team was made up of Yeqkita, Dark Buster Blader, Malkein and of course myself. In need of one Coconut, Yeqkita and I took it upon ourselves to capture it from the firm grasp of the wild ape species in Port Hope. After wading though the creatures and harsh humid jungle, we finally made it to the ape encampment... Yeqkita was slightly scared I think, SD runes were flying left right and center. Though she did well to keep them off my back... We finally found some Coconuts, so we left with haste in our step switching our navigation to Venore Depot.

Once at the Venore Depot we all teamed up, beside Dark Buster Blader (whom was yet to join our party). It was time to speak to the necessary people in order to seek out the questions which have plagued Tibian kind for generations.

We had spoken with everyone relevant to our cause, all that was left now was to speak to the riddler to prove our knowledge. Yeqkita went first, answering his questions without hesitation... She got every answer correct then vanished... I was next, I answered the first two questions well, remembering the helpful words the NPCs had spoken to me... Then the riddlers third question was asked, I did my best to answer... Failure!... I was teleported to Hellsgate, there I stood next to Yeqkita... I tried to explain I had answered incorrectly, but she was furiously telling me "yes, everyone gets it wrong!"... I thought she had gone mad... Though eventually she understood what had happened.

We continued with our quest anyway. I didn't mind too much, I was happy to be seeing exciting new places... Everything was going good, then suddenly like a ton of bricks dropping to the floor below, we stopped... I looked at this structure in front of me... It was large and made of some sort of stone... By this time, Dark Buster Blader had left us... So Yeqkita and Malkein both stared at me, and said "Parcels"... I felt completely in the dark, why where they looking at me like this, as if waiting for me to do something?

After a minute of confused silence I took a stab at there hints, and assumingly said "I have no parcels"... Which was immediately returned by Malkein with "You said you had 15"... Unfortunately it seemed like I was suppose to bring parcels this far with us, but I was only aware parcels were needed for the first mountain climb at Kazordoon. A few stares and a lot of silence later, Yeqkita told me she was leaving to sleep... Soon after Malkein disappeared... Leaving me, all alone... 7 levels under Hellsgate.

I waited in that cave for over a day, before my friend Krazyloon rescued me... I was dehydrated and starving... Once the light hit my eyes and face on the surface, I rejoiced... Though... I have conflicting feelings now about Yeqkita, I know she wouldn't have planned such an act... Though I'm afraid I feel quite abandoned by her, in my time of need she was not there for me. I could care less about Malkein.

Port Hope

2005-10-14T12:48:00.000+09:30

Cove Rat and I went exploring the newly found lands of Tiquanda today... It was so lovely there, wild botanical growth... Never before seen animals and creatures, very nice place overall... Cove Rat had to stay behind for a while, I think the heat of the jungle got to him... I went ahead solo, I must have taken a few pages from the rat book though... Because I was a little 'too' adventurous, storming straight into the apes kingdom... I must have completely frozen with shock and fear, because every blue rock I used upon my body bounced off... The apes demoralized my Crusader Helmet unfortunately... Though I was lucky to make it through the underworld with my Giant Sword intact!

Yeqkita

2005-10-10T12:48:00.000+09:30

Yesterday at HTS Yeqkita and I where getting a little bored waiting for everyone else... So we tested some damages, I hit her very poorly, as I only had my Bright Sword with me... She hit me for 144 though, with her strong Sudden Death rune, impressive indeed.

I felt very stupid at HTS, Sun Henceforth was kind enough to summon me a training Ghoul... I was not paying enough attention though, and ended up killing the poor thing... Which reminds me, I must send her some sort of remuneration for that.

Sunday again

2005-10-10T00:36:00.000+09:30

I spoke with Majestic Sorcerer a few days ago, and in the lengthy conversation we had, he asked me when I write in my journal... I told him "whenever I have something to say"... Well, I hope this counts, because I feel like just rambling about a few various events at the moment... So here goes.

Time for another Henceforth Training Sunday (HTS)... Yeqkita wanted me to be her guest for this weeks HTS, though I told her I was already coming... She seemed a little disappointed, I told her I would be her guest anyway... She just frowned at me though.

I'm feeling pretty bored and sleepy today... My hands are completely covered in green goo from stabbing Slimes repeatedly over many hours.

I found it fairly funny when my neighbor, Hash Meir Henceforth messaged me saying "the wheat has grown"... Only to trek to my house, anticipating the fresh wheat just waiting to be cut... To find green wheat growing... Oh well, guess that Scythe will have to rest a little longer on the mantel piece.

Myrmidon

2005-10-07T13:34:00.000+09:30

Today I have been invited to the very powerful yet peaceful guild, Myrmidon... The leader is Fury Guardian of Fire, one of the most respected Royal Paladins in my world, Rubera... I have two good friends in Myrmidon, Cove Rat and Ryan Master At Arms... I hope to make other good friends in the guild also.
The major rules and regulations are:

No power abusing
No skull hunting
No killing unless with a good reason

If anyone in Myrmidon break any of these rules and regulations, they will receive no support from the guild in the matter. I believe because of this, Myrmidon will be possible to grow large yet be always respected. If a problem arises with any member and the member is in the wrong, the matter will not be solved by the guild... So nobody can blame the guild as a whole for anything, only it's members (if the situation ever arises).

Wyrm makes TibiaNews!

2005-10-06T20:17:00.000+09:30

I am very happy, my journal has attracted the watchful eye of the clever journalists over at the biggest Tibian newspaper. They have written a small article about my adventures, which can be found in all it's black and white glory right here.

The great Fisher

2005-10-06T14:24:00.000+09:30

The famous Fisher Plenetnorad came to visit my humble home today. I didn't see him for a few moments, as I was milling a great bale of wheat into flour at the time.

We eventually saw each other, and had a great chat of Fishing versus harvesting... I was of the stance Fishing was noble and more rewarding... Though at the same time not as time consuming as harvesting... He told me in a gruff voice (as only a master Fisher can) "Fishing is harder than you think"... "You must find the 'right spot' and the correct Bait to Fish well".

I suppose I have a lot to learn about Fishing, but I do know already... Water Dragons LOVE FISH! FCHHH!

My history

2005-10-02T14:56:00.000+09:30

I have not a long history, really it's quite short. I'm still young but learning fast...

I was raised in the world of Rubera by Dragon and Dragon Lord, I lived with them in the fiery dens of deep Fibula. It was a great time, mother would teach me about hunting... We started with Rats and advanced slowly to Deer... Father taught me about the great wars and struggles of our kind long ago. But now, I seem to be slowly forgetting everything said to me at the time. I shall start from the beginning of my maturity...

I woke up one morning, the day was like any other though I felt a little odd... Strange ripple like effects where traversing my scales, I looked at them in awe as they almost magically went from green to blue, then alternated between blue and translucent... At the peak of opacity I could see through my scales like looking at objects through water. I wasn't scared, though I did get somewhat concerned... I hasted toward the exit of my room, hoping to be greeted by my parents with some sort of explanation to my erratic color change. Instead I was greeted by an empty den... Where are they, I muttered under my breath... I searched all over the home and around the other dragon dens, but found nobody. Then it struck me, it was the seventh of September, the annual Cyclops hunt... I couldn't believe I forgot, was this strange watery effect messing with my mind as well as my body?

I waited all day, what seemed like an eternity of hunting Deer and other various sources of fresh meat... My grand fire spells seemed to be fizzling each time I used them though, until I was forced to scratch at the animals... Then finally I heard the familiar "FCHHH" of my father off in the distance... I raced over as fast as I could, excited to see him...

Then... It... happened...

It's nearly too painful to recollect, he simply didn't know me... He stared at me, like he would a victim of his wrath, though at the same time he looked shocked and scared for just a moment... He waved my body with spell after spell of intense fire, the scales upon my back began to melt and my body was scared and burned intensely...

I must have blacked out at that point, because the last thing I can remember after that is regaining consciousness in the Kazordoon temple... Weary and hurt, both emotionally and physically... What had just happened, I tried to figure it out... But to no avail, it was a complete mystery...

Something else happened though, instead of looking like a dragon, I looked like a Knight... Though my armor was more scale like than metal and I was still blue and somewhat translucent.. This all made little sense to me, but I tried to make the best of my new self... I met a great Knight called Odd Henceforth whom introduced me to who feels like my adoptive mother now, Sun Henceforth... Her and all the other Henceforth embraced me for who I am and never judged me for being a dragon... But I still longed for information as to why I was changed to a Knight, why I had lost my fire type powers and why my own father attacked me so ferociously... And I got my answers, well at least some...

The great wizard Agni Henceforth spoke to my soul one day, he told me my true mother was not Dragon... But in fact a mermaid... He explained that is why my powers ceased, but also taught me of my new water powers... Then it was clear to me, I was no longer just a dragon nor a Knight, I was a Water Dragon imbued within a Knight...I was shocked and in disbelief, but at the same time it made complete sense... It is hard to understand in a way though, because not one person has ever seen a mermaid, could Agni Henceforth have seen my mother? How does he know?

I am happy these days, my past still haunts me with too many questions... But I have a great life now, as a Water Dragon, and as a Knight.

Advances

2005-10-01T14:24:00.000+09:30

I advanced to Magic Level 5 and to 70 Sword Fighting today, I'm very happy. I won't be photographing every advance as I am the first to point out how boring that is. Though these are special to me.

As a bit of a side note, my good friend Thororrek told me just a few minutes ago he will try training for 24 hours straight. I don't know if this is a good idea for his health and wellbeing, but I wish him the best.

Hash Meir Henceforth

2005-09-30T19:51:00.000+09:30

While hunting in a deep and convoluted Scarab cave in the sandy outskirts of Ankrahmun, I was greeted by Hash Meir Henceforth. After asking me if he could hunt there too, I agreed and we began talking of our adventures. It was no chance event our meeting I believe, as he turned out to be a great Fire Dragon with amazing knowledge of the past... After seeing I was a trustworthy dragon, Hash Meir Henceforth decided to invite me to his lovely Edron home. Just as Hash Meir Henceforth was about to invite me though the old wizard Agni Henceforth appeared and attacked me with a legendary fire spell to prove my braveness. I passed! And his wrath subsided to kindness.

The Farms 1

2005-09-30T15:55:00.000+09:30

I bought The Farms 1 today in my beautiful home city Kazordoon! I have a few photos of my new home below, the starting photo is when I first saw it, the others are after I decorated a little. I was going for the 'water effect'. I shall take some more photos when I am finished decorating my home.

Cove Rat dropped by to see the new establishment and a chat, he said it was lacking cheese. A little later on Cove Rat challenged me to a duel, we clashed steel for a few minutes but eventually... I lost - can't believe I was defeated by a little rat! Next time I will wield my mighty Giant Sword!

Rat returns

2005-09-29T09:22:00.000+09:30

Today was a good day, Rat told me he missed his soul within Rubera. He was recently randomly killed and lost a lot of hard work and equipment, I gave him my Fire Axe as incentive to return... I hope it worked!

I have included one of my many photos below. I snapped this one up in Ankrahmun, when my good friend Aqauanub told me about two people dueling with stones and other various ammunitions.

Wyrm invited to Henceforth guild house

2005-09-28T21:35:00.000+09:30

These are some photos I took when Sun Henceforth invited me to her wonderful guild house. I was very happy to be trusted enough to explore the dwelling, reading Borr Henceforth's books in his library, and viewing the various rooms in the guild house.
