GREAT DIVIDE :
Loading please wait… You enter in Great Divide. Very quickly, I realize that this zone is full of ice giants.I head East. I find something that seems to be a tp spire. On the left, there was a fort full of giants. Ouch ! what a fu....a wolf ! I hadn't taken something to feed him, so I take my mace in order to “pacify” him. A short time later, I come near un river with fluorescent water. This luminous view is marvelous during the night ! I walk straight to the left side of the river and I find the entry a cavern. WOW !! A huge wurm is getting out of there ... I turn on invisibility and find my way in the cavern. The place is huge and there are wurms everywhere. I'll learn later that the "guardians" and "crystalline" sometimes drop several spells. New way: south east where I should find the caverns with Kodiaks and Velektor’s labyrinth. According to my information this place is full of traps and there's a strange fog inside. I find the entry of a cavern guarded by two Kodiaks. Did you think that the Kodiaks in Commonlands was strong ?, just take a look at Velious's ones. These teddy bears walk on two feet et are three times larger than me ! I get invisibility to explore the cavern. The place isn't very large but full of koddys. Deeper I find one named BLOODMAW who seems not to be aggro. Exactly when I head to the exit, my invisibility fades : Icetooth claws you for 80 Icetooth claws you for 77 Ouch, OUCH ! the fight starts. the problem is that I’m in the middle of the cavern that's why I mustn’t let Icetooth escape. Hey, he hits hardly! I’ve already loosen two bubbles, same for him. And now it becomes very, very hard. A friend of him who was roaming in the place decides to help him and... he brings one more to me... it sounds bad, so I decide to use my harm touch and my discipline to increase its damages. Gotcha !, Icetooth takes more than 1000 points in the head, and dies. I quickly loot et hip: feign death. I’m now stretched out to the ground and I have one bubble of health left. the Koddys have been tricked and they think that I’m dead. While waiting for a few my hps to be back, I take a look at the stuffs dropped by Icetooth : Icetooth claws 11/29 in 1h/s not so bad... Later, I stand up, cast invisibility and.... RUN LIKE HELL ! A quick use of Jboots and I’m back near the river. Let s go north where I should find the Coldains's city, Thurgadin. WOW !! I find one the most beautiful places in Norrath. In deep in a valley, a large shinning waterfall which drop into the river. By night I can tell you that this view will astonish you ! Behind the waterfall, a passage guarded by two Coldains heads in Thurgadin. Loading please wait… ALONE IN THE DARK It was during a night like many others in great divide, cold and snowy. Uenaelar was roaming near the river that heads to Thurgadin when he saw something very strange. there was a dwarf here, alone back against a large black monolith. As he was coming closer to him, he heard the dwarf saying with a little voice : "Don't come closer dark elf, I prefer being alone tonight" Then, as Uenaelar wasn't moving, the dwarf started to speaks about a tale : The story of a guild, created by a group of friends in order to travel across the world and having fun. The state if mind in the guild is opened one, friendly and mutual aid oriented. Secretly helped by powerful allies, its members can sometimes get magic items they wear with pride. Then, the guild grew up, it accepts any good intentioned fellows. It try to get an organization, raids are planed. Well small raids, no ideas of dragon slaying. Just a way to have fun and to find an item if there is the possibility. There is no obligation for anyone to come, only the ones that wanna do it. The guild is young, experience less, these raids are sometimes successful, sometimes deathly. Day after day the guild grow up, and now raises the 50 members. Problems appear, some members dispute each other in public, other ones criticize the organization during raids. And slowly, the initial spirit is lost, the first fights start just about items, some members see in the guilds a way to get new wealth. The eyes focused on the xp that takes place instead of the wink of a friend, a several members act in low level raids, and became angry because if the xp-lost it made. The dwarf explains that he feels guilty, guilty for have been unable to see that previously. The heart broken, he has left his guild. Tonight, he is here, alone, he is far from his friends. Uenaelar leaves without saying anything. He feels the night darker, colder. A frozen hand takes his corpse, Tonight he has seen a dwarf crying… |
