Hail friends,
With my need found speedy llama form I've been expanding my patrolling area (a.k.a. my territory). Without any means of marking a rune, let alone casting a gate travel spell, travel thus far has proven difficult. This land is unforgiving. Knowing this, it's funny that through my journies (locations of which I have no intention of revealing until there is something worth revealing) this next adventure takes place in a quiet little corner that's within hiking distance from Yew Gate.
This adventure starts two days earlier... when I find my new best friend.Random!
Hidden?
(Don't be shy.)With advanced techniques in modern mathematics and physics too advanced for someone such as you to understand...
*sticks nose up own anus*
...I triangulate Random's exact position with a two-step shuffle and some jazz hands.The trick was to determine where he was without stepping on top of him or through him.
(I do that and the story's over.)
With jazz hands as advanced as mine, it's a fairly easy accomplishment... and even easier to muck it up. I start on the left, circle south and back up above.
(Gotcha.)*cracks knuckles*
*uses mediocre skills of detection*(Hello.)
I hold my breath and hope I've caught him day dreaming.
I do and I dig in.
Nothing so far and...
*poof*He hides and detect again. He runs and casts holy light (?).
The runs towards the entrance with me not far behind.
(The game wasn't up as far as I was concerned.)I had hoped to catch him before he had a chance to leave, but my short ferret legs almost fail me.
(It's not too late.)So he wouldn't be escaping by foot after all! The gate was still open and it wouldn't be open for long.
Fortune smiles upon me!
Fortune blesses me this day!
Fortun----Fortune was a son of a bitch!
A DEATH RUNE AND I FELL FOR IT!
RANDOM!
*pumps fist*
THE SLY BASTARD WAS HIDDEN THERE, LAUGHING AT ME! HE WAS WATCHING AND WAITING AND GIGGLING AT ME BEHIND MY BACK! HE RAN TO THE EXIT, CAST A GATE KNOWING I'D BE TEMPTED TO FOLLOW, CAST A MAGICAL GATE TO THIS ISLAND OF DOOM, SIMPLY STEPPED TO THE SIDE AND I WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO FOLLOW!
...
...
...
(You've made an enemy this day.)I duck the corpers, lizardmen, rat men, rat mages, sea serpents and boglings. I break line-of-sight behind a house, call for the gods to get me off this island... and plan my revenge.
(Note to self: When skill in Magery is sufficient, mark death rune for future evil purposes.)
Round 1: Random
'Til next time!
