First and foremost let me say Verant be praised for safe fall, i pity all you who become injured on hillocks.
Okay so I think at least I was already dead, at least my stuff wasn't going to disappear. (as some of you near Paineel can recount first hand I'm sure) BUT, here it is friends, but it is not a bottomless pit it has a VERY hard bottom. I land INCREASE MY SAFEFALL and have ONE hp left. A penguin could have counted my hp on one flipper, how sad. AND THEN the scorkopisses. (forgive the mangled spelling) These fellows are large and oooogly as hell, trust me. I hope not to make their aquaintance again for quite a while.
So here is Nakk and her one hp desperatly hitting her hide sneak macro and thinking... well not thinking anything I can recount here. To make a too long story shorter I couldn't (despite the valiant efforts of my guild and group mates) find my way out. I proceeded to walk up to a particularly offensive scorko-whatever and tell him how ugly his mother was. I was NEVER so happy to see those three final words that always append an eq eulogy. LOADING PLEASE WAIT...
The second coming; Learn about my boat trip.
Three's a charm; Ahemmm. DOH ICE!! My adventure in Thurg...
Four and counting; Verant is out to get ME! A new area gobbles Nakk whole.
FIVE HAPPEND LAST NIGHT WOOT: I was (Once Again, will I never learn? /sigh) trying to get an uber screenshot for my wallpaper project , and whadda ya know... I fell in the pit in crysal caverns. ACK, when did they put that there!?!
Heeheee ok now this is turning into the How Many Times Can Nakk Ding 41 page...
Count so far is 14, and i just died... Bonk 40 Again. /log
'grav'*i*ty, n., 1. the natural force that causes objects (namely me) to move or tend to move toward the center of the earth.'
Very simple explination with a WHOLE lot of complicated outcomes. Here are my funny stories of falling down.
* Gnoff* Hey Nakk, hillocks anything like bullocks? *Nakk* No you fool, now be quiet. No more talking for you until you respond on the main page :P
The first fall;
It was a lazy day in Over There I had just died by squishing in WW (which I am wont to do) and was kinda auto piloting and munching down while making my way to the zone. Suddenly I discovered there is a very LARGE hole in the Over There zone. Humph, imagine that. No sign saying sharp drop or Grand Damne Canyon or anything. Just one second chewing the pizza (heeheee stole it from Trem) the next second choking on it as I fell dddooowwwnnn.
Okay this one is short and stupid. LOL, they are all stupid... why are you here? Go do something constructive, like cleaning your dryer lint trap.
Are you STILL here!?! Well i guess I'll tell the story then. I was trying to get a nice screenshot of me on the OOT boat ( well and trying to look over the side rail to see the water :p) and I got a leeetle too close. "SPLASH!" (with an exclimation point even!!) I was madly trying to get out of full screen funky view mode as I sensed I was in trouble. (I coulda got a REAL nice shot of the boat leaving me behind) I swam after it frantically and stayed with it until it got to Sister Island I got on the shore and ran all the way to the dock... to have the thing pull away just as I was about to re-board. So a large barbarian fellow (who was in a hurry but had also missed the boat) and I sat and stared at the Ocean. And stared. Then we stared. Then he said hey give me a tell when it arrives and went off to buy something. The boat arrived I told him. He missed it... I did not. YAY everyone be proud of me :D. I of course had to spend the next ten minutes listening to a twice irate barbarian fellow yelling his head off for a port... oops on him. I wonder if he has a Look At The Asnine Things I've Done page like me?? Hmmmmmm...
Tizmaks are fun to fight, and shortly after getting to Velious Valorin, Seska, Hinadur, and myself were hunting them. There came a time when I became to heavy and Val wanted me to see if the butcher was back (for some unknown reason Verant decided to take him out for a few days, go figure) so I headed for Thurg. Well now seems a good time to tell you that I have become addicted to the ice in Thurg. You can run up to it slide across and do all kinds of loop de loops n stuff. Well I was doing my YAY ICE!! routine when i hit the damned dwarf guard and rebounded into the pit. Ooooopsieee. Hee was only a hundred and some odd non-melee damage this time but still... (I blame this whole episode on Seska btw. I never even thought of falling off till SHE said something :p It was then that I started trying to be careful...) Well it seems the only way out of that particular pit is through the keep, and let me tell you there are some REEAALLY pissed off icicles down there that can see through (my at least)Hide. So i tripped back to the pit and stayed there asking for help from above :) It came in the form of Val (:D YAY VAL!!) and we had no more luck with lev to get out than I had with only my Hide. So it seemed the whole grp had to port out (which wasn't soooo bad we had to get Balta from WC anyway. So see see it wasn't as if the whole group had to port out and take two bloody dying all the time to get back to Thurg so we could log hours just because I like ice :P) YAY!! ICE.... HEEE
Okies trying to do this with out using (DOH) or (Okay) but so far not working... DOH! Alright down to business. After the HELL night mentioned above (means up Gar) I camped right behind the left dwarf* as you are going into Thurg against the wall. The next morning when i loged on ACK it was a blackout. Soooo silly me (thinking it was like other times and my face was just crunched into the wall) i backed up. Well well that stupid You have been hit for blah blah blah points of non-melee damage/ You have been injured by falling message comes up. Well :P nyuh! I said 'BUT I DIDN"T DOOO ANYTHING' and then 'CRAPY OLE WHERE AM I?' (obviously pared down versions :D) So I looked and I looked, but nope no way out. It's a little box with the coords written on the wals floor cieling EVERYTHING. I thought I was in the only hell ever devised by Verant for directionally challenged faller downers. (I'M SORRY CONJO I PROMISE IF I EVER GET OUT ILL PRACTICE MY SENSE DIRECTION<<
Well ANYWAYS after a little while the Guide comes and summons me (you have been summoned!) and I think cool. He takes off to where ever it is that little guides come from (who knows maybe they are made of ice bunny fluff and clouds only the stork knows...or is it Santa...maybe the Raven??? Nevermore. Heh) I stand there and think 'GEEZ I've never been HERE before.' So I ask him and he says in the great divide a safe place. Well im glad you know where I am i think, I was nice and safe in that box too :P He tells me head north. (woo hoo like i know what direction THAT is) I ask him do I follow the river he says yes 'but be careful you have to go through the wurm cave' (GRRR)I told him I would and then I set off to trip along in hidde and ummmm an ancient wurm sees through my hide and I die. well :C
Ok so I fall to the bottom a looooooong way down, and wouldnt ya know its one of those places we gotta port out of...huh. So down comes the wizzy and ports us to iceclad. Geeez my feet are tired. Hee heee. (Well okay so this wasnt as exciting as some others but hey it was a fall it counts) For pictures of the Crystal Caverns click there nonono click THERE.
* Heh, in difference to some of my best readers I have refrained from using the slightly offensive form of this word that I prefer. Dorf. That's all have fun :D ( HEE /wave HI BALTA HI HINADUR /sigh I suppose HI KORZ :D)
