OilillapDiancecht – “Little elf of the God of Medicine”



White rat at 17:03  – Butchered - received pelt, no meat – received butcher bit: “ You have learned your first bit of knowledge about 'Butcher', but the skill will not show up in your skill list (under Status) until it has reached a higher level of proficiency.”

Took three hits to kill, received a hard hit. Using cudgel. I am keeping all the pelts I butcher for now. Later I will use them to make fur armor for myself or if I end up with too many I will sell them to the ratcatcher.

/set sex male.

I will wait to set my bulk until much, much later in my gameplay. I’m not sure what I want to put as an alias and description yet, but I would like to set them soon.



Gray rat at 17:09  –Received Hammers bit: You have learned your first bit of knowledge about 'Hammers', but the skill will not show up in your skill list (under Status) until it has reached a higher level of proficiency. Received first Melee bit: You hearken to your training with 'Melee'. Butchered - No pelt, No meat.

Missed a lot, took three hits to kill, and received a hard hit. Had to heal after this battle.

Cirdanoth said hello to me on public chat and Tornado approached me, offered me food.

I ate a bite of venison.

I want to keep my tusk until I have enough for a necklace so I’m going to sell a couple of rat pelts so I have room in my pouch. Got two ruks from rat pelts, that replaced the cost of the knife repair.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I’m now using the knife in my left hand with my cudgel in my right. I want to continue to use the cudgel in my right hand since I’m more skilled with it.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">19:00

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">To really make the most of my knife I will need wooden planks and to get wood I need an axe. So I decide to carefully continue hunting boar’kin until I obtain one. I quickly find a boar’kin with an axe.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Boar’kin with axe at 19:05 <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> – Received two squarely hits, took three hard hits all with cudgel. You hearken to your training with 'Dual Wield'. (x4) Butchered – no tusk. Your skill with 'Butcher' is showing marked improvement!

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I immediately sit to heal my wounds and then I butcher. I used 3 ruks to repair my new stone axe. Once I stop bleeding I head south again. I don’t want to stick around in such a dangerous area; I will finish healing back near the rats.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Once I’m in a safe area I chop down a tree by typing /chop. I’m excited to use my new tools. Using the crude tool it takes awhile before the tree is felled. I then click on the fallen tree trunk and click ‘split’ to make a plank.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The first thing I’m going to make is a staff. Staves can be very powerful weapons and only require a piece of wood and a knife to make. The staff is a two handed weapon so I will have a chance of doing critical hits. Later on I can spike my staff with a metal; this will make it one of the strongest weapons in the game. Any metal will work, so this weapon is extremely cost effective.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I need to practice with the staff so I’m going to go back to killing rats for awhile, but before I do that I want to make my second tool, a pan. A pan will allow me to obtain metal from the stream. Silver is pretty common so I will likely find a lot of it. I can use the metal to make all kinds of tools, even weapons and armor. My plan is to make a pair of shears and then make a set of needles. Those will allow me to use my rat pelts to craft myself a set of fur armor.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Fur armor is the weakest armor, but it’s better than nothing. Having fur armor will give me a considerable advantage in combat.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white; background:black;mso-highlight:black">Your skill as a <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#44DDFF;background:black; mso-highlight:black">Wood Worker <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:white;background:black;mso-highlight:black"> has improved. <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If I view my new staff I can compare it to my other weapons. It’s slower than the stone axe and knife and the talwyd cudgel, but it has a whopping 240 damage rating. Since the staff is a two-handed weapon it goes across my back when I sheath it. This is very convenient because I will already have my two stone tools on my belt. I’m going to ditch my talwyd cudgel at this point. It has served me well, but I don’t have the room for it anymore and it’s no longer useful to me. It’s worthless, so I just drop it on the ground.

I’m going to have to go south of Stonebridge where no lord has dominion of the stream in order to pan. I walk out into the stream and while holding my pan in one of my hands I type /pan.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I need 10 silver nuggets to make a bar of silver. If I look on the metal casting recipe list, I see that shears take 2 mounds of clay. I need one bar of metal for each mound of clay, so to make a set of shears I will need 2 bars or 20 nuggets. I also need tongs to use a furnace pit, but there is no reason to make metal tongs when I can carve some from a plank of wood. The needle set is in red right now, which means I can’t make it, but I will need another bar or 10 nuggets to make the needle set.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Went back to my felled tree and split a plank. I want to make a spade so that I can dig some clay and use up my TP. I can have a maximum of 1,000 TP and if I use it, then it will refill slowly. I need to make some clay molds in order to practice my metal casting. Training up metal casting will unlock more molds. I want to make needles eventually and that mold is locked, so I’m going to use up my TP making molds in order to unlock it. I make a spade from a plank.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I have eight ruks from selling pelts so I go ahead and repair my tunic (3 ruks) and my boots (3 ruks).

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I take my spade to the bank of the stream and dig up some clay. I will need some shears, so I’ll make a shears mold and keep it for now. I make a shears mold from two clay mounds and put it into my pouch.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white; background:black;mso-highlight:black">Your skill as a <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#44DDFF;background:black; mso-highlight:black">Metal Caster <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:white;background:black;mso-highlight:black"> has improved.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Metal Caster now appears on the status screen as Apprentice.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I need to make a furnace pit to use my molds in, so I’m going to have to dig up some stone and clay. I will need six clay and twelve stone. Luckily there is a forest clearing just two spaces away from where I am digging clay, I can dig up stones there. I’ll have to move my clay to the clearing.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The one thing I will need and won’t be able to make with a free account is charcoal. I will have to get some ruks and find a player to sell or trade me some, but I can worry about this later.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I managed to dig up all twelve stones and all six clay. I have moved them all to the location where I want my furnace pit. Unfortunately I don’t have enough TP left to make the furnace pit (500 TP), so I will have to wait.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Aco came up while I was working and we talked for a moment. I have about 20 minutes and I will have enough TP to make my furnace, so I’m going to train until then. I’m going to leave my spade and my shears mold here at my little campsite for now. Hopefully no one will bother them. I’m also low on food so I’m going to forage a bit here and there.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Foraged unsuccessfully four times.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I foraged seven times and found some blueberries. I foraged again and found some wild peas. I’m saving these food items in my pouch for now, each one will heal twenty percent of my health so long as my wounds are closed and I am sitting down. I foraged again and find a white mushroom. I foraged four more times unsuccessfully. By now my health has recovered on its own so I decided to look for some more boar’kin. I would really like to get a boar’kin tusk necklace today. It’s a magical item that I can craft from three tusks and it will give me a boost to my strength.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Foraging has used up some more of my TP, but I’m not concerned about making the furnace pit immediately since I won’t be able to use it until I have metal.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Boar’kin with axe at 13:00 <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">– Received three hard hits, had to flee. I managed to flee, but I bled to death. My spear was irreparably damaged when I died, so I will have to make another one.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I go to my campsite and drop the forage items I found. They should be safe here. I split a plank and make a new staff. I have asked for a hunting companion and Cirdanoth has agreed to come with me.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I decide to forage some while I wait for Cirdanoth. I forage once unsuccessfully.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I foraged one time unsuccessfully and then a second time to find a white mushroom. I forage another two times and find some talwyd nuts. Foraging another two times yields a handful of elderberries. Another four times foraging gives me nothing. I also decide to set my alias now.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">/set alias the young hunter

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I also set my description. I like to put my name in my description so people can recognize me when they look at me.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Two boar’kin at 13:27 <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">– Cirdanoth and I both are fighting. Cirdanoth cuts them both and takes one out. I deal the other a hard and very hard hit. Butchered – two tusks. I now have enough tusks to make a necklace. I place all three tusks on the ground and craft one.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#44DDFF; background:black;mso-highlight:black">You feel slightly stronger.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I swap out my damaged axe and knife for the lesser damaged ones.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">With Cirdanoth tanking for me, we decide to try some imps.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I sense great danger.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Quick Imp and Mischievous Imp at 14:25 <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">– I’m missing every hit, which is good because it is missing or failing that gives one experience.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I sense much danger.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Grumpy Imp blinks and runs off.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Quick Imp at 14:32 <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">– I get a very hard hit and this imp goes down quickly. I get the blue pouch. These pouches will be extremely useful. I can use them to turn invisible for a very brief moment allowing me to get away from a bad situation (as long as I have plenty of stamina).

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Quick Imp at 14:34 <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">– Cirdanoth brawls this one to death. I won’t take the pouch. The Grumpy Imp from before joins the battle with about a third of its health remaining. I get a squarely hit on him and take his pouch.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Two Grumpy Imps at 14:43 <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">– I get in two hard hits. One dies and I take the pouch. We find the one that ran and I finish it off with an extremely hard hit and take it’s pouch.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Had to log out for a moment.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Came back and was waiting on my group, so I decided to forage a bit. I forage and find a wild turnp which I put in my pouch for later.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Grumpy Imp at 15:00 <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif""> – Dealt a very hard hit. Got his pouch.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Three Grumpy Imps and a Quick Imp jump on us at 15:05 –The Quick Imp blinks and runs off. A Grumpy Imp blinks and runs off just as another Quick Imp joins the fight. I land two very hard hits on a Grumpy Imp and he blinks and runs off. The second Quick Imp blinks and runs off leaving a lone Grumpy Imp. The Grumpy Imp collapses, but manages to blink and run off. We didn’t get any kills, but I got a lot of experience from my missed hits.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Mischievous Imp at 15:12 <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> – I land a squarely hit, but I have no room for the pouch.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Quick Imp at 15:14 <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif""> – I land a hard hit before the imp dies.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Grumpy Imp at 15:16 <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif""> – Cirdanoth must have gone afk because Flash was taking the hits on this one. I rescued him and landed a very hard hit on the imp. I didn’t get hit from the imp and eventually he blinked and ran off.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Flash and I continue on our own with me leading.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Grumpy Imp at 15:28 <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif""> – we were doing fine until another Grumpy Imp joined in. Flash started off tanking, but I had to rescue him. I landed a very hard hit and one imp goes down, but a third Grumpy Imp joined in. Luckily Cirdanoth came just in time to rescue us both. I landed a hard hit. Two of the imps died and the other one blinked and ran.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";background: yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Mischievous Imp at 15:35 <span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> – Received a hard and squarely. Had to blink and heal, but jumped back into battle quickly. Imp blinked and ran off.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I need some food so I decided to forage a bit. I foraged ten times until I found some strawberries.

The Quick Imp dies and a Grumpy Imp joins in the fight. I land a very hard hit and kill the Mischievous Imp. I turn on the Grumpy Imp and immediately land a squarely hit. The Grumpy Imp dies.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Three Little Kobolds – I land a firmly hit and a hard hit and one goes down. I grab the nugget. Another Little Kobold joins the fight. The other three go down without any hits from me. I take all of the nuggets.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We exit the mines and I end up with two single handed staves and 32 copper nuggets as well as numerous combat improvements. I notice that I now sense only some danger in the imp area.

The Mischievous Imp dies without receiving a single hit from me, I take the blue pouch. I land a hard and a very hard hit on the first Grumpy Imp and it blinks and runs off. The other Grumpy Imp blinks and runs off without a hit from me.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I sell the lone boar’kin tusk in my pouch for two ruks, which I use to repair my tunic (I had two more ruks in my pouch, this leaves me with one). I return to my campsite and split a plank and carve some tongs, which I will need to use my furnace pit. I put the tongs in my pouch for safe keeping.
