Warrior Mage
After meeting some good archer's I met a warrior mage. Even though he is only 39lv he loves to tank. First I saw him in action when he jumped into the pit with me. Now a normal mage will work the drain/harm from the edge of the pit. He's different.
Our first talk was not the best as I'm in somewhat of a bitter mood these days, not enough sleep maybe. I saw him fighting a few times and after checking on his health moved on. I was fighting a Solder and when I heard the draining sound. I messaged him, "I stayed out of your fights." He replied it was only stamina he was draining. "Humm that was different."
It was after this that he jumped it the pit and took on two solders. Gad never seen a mage do that before. I told him later that I liked his style. He said his patron got on him for doing it. He started out as a fighter and felt because of the way the game was he needed to be a mage. He still had a fighter attitude.
I later got a few messages from him and we are thinking of teaming up to take on the Vault. I think we will make a great team, mostly because I get a mage's power and help without having to play bodyguard.
Lamer Crossbow man revisited
I was followed around by a lamer crossbow man the other day, "Goat something". I saw him yesterday but this time he did not follow me, he was headed to the bottom.
Later I was able to get the Noble on the ramp. Two unarmed fighters came by after it was over. One headed up the ramp with me. I jumped across to get some workers and solders in the upper levels. I'm building my combat stats to head for the Vault soon.
She jumped down. As soon as she landed I saw a bunch of orange dots head her way. She was boxed in so I jumped down to help. Four or five workers were pounding on her and I heard a few screams and grunts. I killed one and she started to run. After a few steps she stopped and soon died.
I cleared it out and messaged her. She said lag kept her from getting clear. I kept it clean for about 10 min. She said she was almost there when I saw a message that "Goat something" had died.
I thought he was on the step below me so, as Stefeny was close, I jumped down to help. The first step was clear and no body. I messaged "Goat something" that I was going to clear it out and to tell me when he was close.
I kept jumping down steps until I got to the last one, still no body. So I jumped into the pit, taking 60 points of damage, into the loving arms of a Noble. "Goat something"'s body was right next to the Noble.
The real problem was not the Noble, it was the Worker and Solders. I was lucky and only the Worker attacked me. Still it was not going to be an easy fight. Nobles are hard enough without a Worker pounding on my back and a lot of pre-battle damage. A few good hits and I was done for. There was no running from this fight, too damaged and the way out was blocked.
I got the Noble about a third down, taking too much damage from the worker on my back. I was fearful of the Solder hanging out by the room exit. Later I found that a few others were trying to get it and they had his attention.
I saw "Goat something" jump into the pit with a Solder and a Worker on his tail. "O great! Just what I need", I thought. He made one attempt to loot his body and ran out of the room, fortunately taking the Solder and Worker with him. After that it was easy. Worker started missing I stopped missing. But it keeps the blood running.
I only one got valuable item off the two Nobles, an item identifying expertise VI, difficulty 248. Like I'll ever be able to use that.
The day was not a lost, found a willpower IV that a vassal needed. Got some armor from a friend for two D notes.
Playing a newby
Most servers have a Fist de Yuma on them now. Struggling low levels all of them. One server had some players drop some pyreal on him and he is doing well at 5lv. Made a mage but he is not doing too well.
He is called Fist mage. He is an item/creature/life. First attempt at drain almost had rabbits killing me, burnt my only amber on it. How embarrassing, running trough town with rabbits chasing me. Now he has no money to get amber. With a coordination of 10 he is not too good with his dagger.
He was made in a pure support mode. The question is how does he make XP without fellowship? Sure cannot fight. Might have to delete and go with War trained just for the XP.
