    Linal- level 1 cleric TVS (dead)

    (lost my bard Olivia in a major cluster-f*** the other day, we ended up losing half the party, all former beta-testers)

    Now Merry Deepockets Rogue 1 on Daggersdale. I need a few levels before going back to the swamp, it's just too deadly. Although the comradeship there is nice, the atmosphere is definatly gallows humor.

    I'm nearly there. (actually getting online)

    My Character is Thistler Vion, Female halfling rogue (probably one of a good many halfling rogues)

    I might get on today if I get enough time on the PC and I'm not kicked off my my parents *evilscowl*

    oh yeah, btw. I chose daggerdale as my starting server.

    [​IMG] No kidding. I've been around for a few drow incursions, but I missed last night's action.

    It sounds like the newcomers don't know when to turn tail and bolt. A few pc's died last night, and everyone is complaining about that, and the fact that the drow looted the fallen's bodies.

    I mean seriously...That's what we do to the monsters we kill...DO you expect them to do any less?

    Yes! I finally got all the files I need onto my PC and should be able to play tonight. :D

    I give Thistler about... 3 days before she croaks.

    I'll be on tonight (unless I can't figure it out). Look for a corpse named Anselm lying somewhere in Daggerdale.

    Sure I'm an optimist ... that blood pool is half-full! :)

    Well, I've moved back to Daggerdale with a new PC for a little while - sorry, you'll just have to guess who I am :p I'll look for you tonight Math...um, do you have a preference for the right or the left side of the ditch?

    Last night was definitely odd on DD. Logged on with my brand new PC, and was having nice chat in the Broken Dagger...and suddenly my character was face down in a cave, surrounded by a handful of drow and every one of the 20-odd characters on the server :eek: Seems a relatively new DM hit the wrong key and transported everyone on the server into a pitched battle with some hefty drow :p

    Anselm came ... and died. Wandered into a Zhentarim outpost, killed one guard, but didn't flee fast enough before two others brought him down (and his pet boar). As we speak he is at -6 and I'm wondering if he'll recover or if I move on to a new PC.

    Leave him.

    Before he is -10 you could still heal him and play, but if were alone with the Zhents there isnt anyone to do that... and you cant call anybody as you're seriously hurt and can do nothing but lie there.

    And unless you have 1500gp or so you cant get ressurected in the temple.


    Dont worry about it. It happens all the time. One day you'll make it to second level where you *probably* wont drop dead by a strayed arrow :p ;)

    [​IMG] Math: Welcome to the club...I've lost 6!

    Rem has scratched and clawed his way to 4th level.

    It's hard to tell how many Gothmog has lost...On the one hand, his bodies' litter the streets of Dagger Falls on a nightly basis, yet they're all named Gothmog..... :lol: ;) :p :grin: :spin: :roll:

    ((Just kidding with you, man!))

    First taste of ALFA last night :D

    Thistler is still alive!!!
    Wow!

    Shopping in Dagger Falls, bought a shortbow, a couple of arrows and a shortsword, and some studded leather armour.

    Then decided to venture down into the sewers. Seemed like someone had been there already though, I still found a stirge and some fire beatles (sp? I can't remember how to spell?)

    Things started tougher as soon as she met up with a flock of stirges, 4 of them. Shot down two, and fled back into the next area, with my consitution down by a couple of points.

    By now, Thistler decided that she'd had enough of the sewers, and ventured up above ground into the night. In the end I decided to do some contract work for the local Lord, something nice and easy.

    SO I ended the day with 120 experience towards leveling up :D

    I'm still alive :eek:

    EDIT - I'm English. So I dunno wether I'd ever be on at the same time as other SPers?

    I wasn't on last night, but to the two newcomers: Don't go doing things on your own as much as possible, especially when you don't know what's out there. It's real easy to lose a character.

    The sewers aren't too bad to wander alone as you noticed, but I've found a couple of corpses down there, so it certainly isn't safe.

    Usually there are people gathered around the campfires oustide the River Gate. If you want a little help with a contract you have, you might be able to get some help there.

    I've been pretty cautious and still have lost 3 characters, and the last two were killed while adventuring with pretty powerful friends; just plain bad luck.

    BTA ... good points. Last night I kinda wrote my character off. I needed to learn how to play online and didn't want to disturb anyone else by asking all my n00b questions.

    I learned alot ... #1 being that combat is much different when you can't pause. I died after killing one Shazamite (can't remember the real name), then saw two others ... and was trying to pause to summon a monster when the bolts found their home in me.

    Ce Cera!

    I went on the Daggerdale again earlier, *was kicked off by father* *evil scowl*

    It was great though, there was a group of five of us, myself, a fellow Halfling rogue, A dwarven fighter, a bard (I think) and another ranged attacker, ranger maybe.

    Four of us with bows and crossbows, the figher with a warhammer.
    We headed out Orc hunting, it was really enjoyable, most of the orcs we came across, we managed to drop before our drarven friend even got close.

    We went of in search of some pesky goblins, instead only found a small gang of kobolds. Then I was kicked off.

    It was great though, and I now begin to see the appeal of going out with groups of friends and roleplaying your way through the coutry side.

    I don't think that any of you guys have been on at the same time as me though, I'm ... how to write this so everyone can understand...

    I'm roughly 1 hour behind GMT. MY character is Thistler Vion, and she can normally be found strolling/ getting lost around Dagger Falls.
