Background
After searching the wilderness for an extended time, I stumbled across Lost Souls as a multi-user dungeon game. I was a veteran of console RPG games and was worried that I was starting to suffer withdraw symptoms for my level-advancement gaming addiction.
My initial formulation of Beasty used the default character at the time ie. a Losthavener half-elf. I managed to get him into rangers after a few days of rat-killing and took on a bear as a familiar. Plague was not a feature at the time and the biggest things I could handle were wolves. Soon I was managed to kill a bear but not after suffering a few deaths.
I soon discovered the shortcomings of the default character and it was my adventures in the Demonad jungle with Tessit that showed me that there were places in LS where this character could be caught in a fatal dead-end. I decided to start over to explore some of the more interesting races on Lost Souls. Thus the birth of the current Beasty as a pheathon.
Current Exploits
There are sooo many facets of this character I would like to focus on:
- Continue improving as an Eructant Weapon user to make a bigger impact
- Continue to improve Channeling and Centering to allow me to be a better user of all these skills
- Improve as a Fire Affinate so I can wear the flamra tressards without assistance
- To make better use of flux weapons and try to convince a dev to open psycholeptesis for me
- Continue to improve as a dagger user
- To be as close to 100% bonding with Bill as possible
Acheived Explots...
- I can now take on Stormwalker without dying so easily
- I have improved as an Eructant Weapon user to make a bigger impact
- As a Fixer, I have manged improve matrices using multiple rounds of fixing
- I've explored Planeswalking and established that travelling around the Exoma is impractical
- I was specializing as a Tanner to be able to make exquisite armour, but subsequently undid the specialization in order to concentrate on joining the Wandslingers
And so on...
Future Plans
I'm slowly but surely climbing the Experience ladder and hope to reach Hero (level 50) in the next two weeks. The slog gets really hard since the necessary XP goes up on each level, and I need to decide what I want to concentrate on.
Acknowledgements
This MUD is just too absorbing that it's difficult for me to tear myself away from my awful MUDclient to writing anything of consequence.
However, I will attempt to keep a log of the kindness of strangers I encounter
- I had been visiting my supposed home town of Tlaxcala when I was wiped out by some Hyperion(I think) guys at the top of the temple. After they kept killing me upon recorporealization, Dyne was nice enough to come and wipe them out in return. After tracking down and returning my preferred weapons (sunfury sai), I developed the fine art of kicking corpses for therapy. Not very effective in the game but very useful for my family life.
- I had taken to hanging around Mycenae and taking on the minotaurs. Very risky, but effective because they just keep coming. This has led to many messy demises but many thanks to Dyne for collecting my remains
- My Drake, Bill, was at death's door recently and Gavadel was kind enough to heal him. I thank him on her behalf (Yup, Bill's a female but I just live for Cognitive Dissonance...)
- Fire Affinity is something that Phaethons should come by honestly. However, in my ignorance I had decreased affinity preference to fire resistance. Bad move, since I now need to work towards a fifth degree specialty just to wear these damned flamra tressards
