When I first made my rogue I wanted to snap photos and make a thread(I even named my rogue after an oriental reporter), but then I saw this thread and knew it was no point because this guy is the best

Not only Necromancers wield power over the undying that stalk Norrath. One day while browsing the tomes of knowledge housed at my Academy of the Arcane, I came across a musty skin-bound treatise. Within were short observations, incantations, and a ledger of reagents for several summoned entities. One evening I decided to try my hand at chapter seventeen.

So barren. Barren and cold. No sight or hint of warmth to be found, just the vast expanse of snow and ice inviting one to take a short rest... and freeze into the landscape. My mind becomes increasingly foggy yet I remember a small camp of Frost Dwarves ahead with a fire built. Just a little further.

The three us us stood ready for the coming challenge. We had learned different ways of engaging the world around us. Myself, I chose to embody the spirit of Prexus and bring life to those who risk death. My friend in black decided to deal death quickly in viscous weapon-play. The other, perhaps the smartest of us three, studied the arcane arts to summon waves of ice and fire. Whatever the battle's outcome I was proud to stand among my fellows in combat.

The Test of Water was complete. The Plasmatic Priesthood had failed. The Goblins of Fire Peak were beaten back, and the Fire Lord Ixiblat defeated. Zordakalicus lay dead. The Cult of Flame, which so wished to see all of Norrath burning, revealed themselves in force only to be met by yet stronger Servants of Prexus. His Attendant rose from the depths of the lake to greet me personally. My efforts were to be recognized and rewarded.

These Neolithic pillars always seem to attract a crowd. Having no other business than passing through, I kept a safe distance from the gathering.

These murky pools provide a most excellent cover for the crafty hunter. It is as though the whole of the swamp is half shrouded with a deadly fog, concealing both that which desires to be hidden and that which prowls in secret. The many winding shores of this fetid bog provide a buffet for creatures who master the art of surprise.

I stood gazing upon the coast. The residents of the Outpost care not for Rangers. Upon the great Seawall that protects the harbor I waited for the enormous craft known as the Bloated Belly to provide me passage toward Timorus Deep. Secrets lie beneath the water there of which only the wizened are aware.

Where will adventure take you?

I played this game a few years ago and have been looking into my archived EQ stuff as green gets closer. Definitely wish red was more popular at the time and still do.

My first time crossing the sea and playing EQ.
I really liked the scale of the world and the struggle of traversing it.

Slight tremors could be felt in the ground. The Great Turtle had taken to land, feasting on the Icepaw tribe. Clouds of disturbed snow rose up over the ridge as the Dog-Men fled in terror or risked their lives in attempt to wound the Beast. My compatriots and I had devised a plan involving sorcerous lethargy, holy protections from harm, and the edges of my imbued swords. I would attack the head directly.

A quiet sunset began among the pineland hills. I was laid in a position of repose, my back along the soft grass of a slanted mound. An enormous Oak above me flooded the air with a crisp smell. Karana does his work well indeed.

I stopped to tend to the open laceration on my shoulder. A misstep during my fight with the werewolf had cost me. The gash seeped with blood, cutting deep into my muscle. The fading light made it difficult to see. At least the sight of fall leaves blending into the hazy horizon brought me a sense of calm and peace.

Smote upon the ground, the bloody carcass of the Cursed Dragon lay before us. It was our experience in the careful practice of slaying Great Wurms as well as the towering strength of my comrades that allowed us to remove a resident of Veeshan's own cathedral this day, My dagger was twisted and blunted upon the Wurm's hardened flesh yet remained honed enough until the last moments in which I delivered a final thrust into the beast causing him to shudder in the spasms of death.

The smell was awful. A sulfurous haze filled the air of the old mineshaft that had been left to the Goblins. I couldn't decide which was worse, the scent of scarred deep earth or the exposed innards of the creatures we left split open.

I love the roleplay but this picture of hhk resembles a old basement for storage food / wine cellar than a mineshaft hehe

Feanol
05-13-2020, 07:05 PM
He must have known I was there. If you can see a Dragon with your eyes it has been long since the Wurm was aware of your presence. The fumes of super-heated rock made the air sharp to the taste and difficult to breathe. Raw lava, blood of Norrath, flowed in lakes about Him. What of even the greatest warriors could stand to face the Wurm in his own lair, surrounded by the scorching flames symbolic of His Brood?

It took another step forward, digging deep into the snow with enormous dragonclaws. This inhospitable frozen sheet so deadly to the mortals than now traverse it posed no problem for the Great Wurm. Eons of life on the ice shaped these Dragonkin into the most nimble creatures on Velious despite their massive weight. So brazen our attempts to engage them in their own element as we scramble for a foothold in the endless drifts.

Not all who ride abreast the waves reach their port of call. Prexus claims the breath of many that would trust their lives to carved wood and hope. There is a place where the currents seem to draw carcasses of the sea, a fleet of failed expedition like trophies arrayed as a warning to would-be sailors.

The creases along his weathered face betrayed the years of experience beneath. A very old Gnome, he had seen his share of blood and gore albeit from a low perspective. He had the same passive expression as he withdrew his dagger from the spinal cord of an unlucky goblin, unmoved by the cessation of yet another life by his blade.

Both ritual and necessity, the captives of battle must be broken down to feed a hungry war-tribe. Among the few positions one might hold in Troll society "Hed Boochur" is both an honor and a life's work knee deep in the viscera of the defeated.

Once the Wurm had been laid low we searched the dimly lit hollows of the great cavern. Among the ancestral bones and rotted corpses of former foes a bright sparkle glinted from the end of a hall. As we approached the golden glow my companions gasped. A hoard such as this would finance a dozen more forays into the Ring of Scale's domain.

The Sun set upon the congregation, passing slowly into the Rathe Hills to the South. Members of almost every shamanistic, intellectual, clerical, and combat guild across Norrath had a presence within the gathered group. No single faction by itself had the capability to embark upon the quest being planned and discussed. Only through cooperation among rivals would there be a chance of destroying the Necromancer of Kunark.

The Noble gazed across the magenta sky, his eyes fixed on some distant point unknown. Perhaps he could see something not available for observation by lesser eyes, perhaps he was consumed by thoughts so complex mere men and elves would never understand. Whatever his focus, be it tangible or transcendental, it seemed to amuse him as evidenced by the slight laughter heard when nearby.

Feanol

He was unusually talkative for a Djinn of the outer realms. From the thousands of ethereal spirits I bind temporarily to the physical plane only a handful attempt to communicate with me, and less than that in any language I can understand. Vibarn told me of himself, of the millennia he had lived and the other Magicians before me whom had summoned him. He understood his presence in my world as finite and did not hesitate to display his unusual power to the foes I designated.

The answer is I wish I knew. I have a bit of an odd computer setup (Linux Ubuntu, EQ thru WINE) and after I took the shot and checked it out in my screenie folder the sky came out very dark.

An ancient people known now by only the marks upon Norrath that survive wind, rain, war, and time. Edifices of stone and labor silently observing the passing ages of the world, witness to the rise and fall of cultures and empires like in nature to their own. The earthen huts of men fade with age yet the masonry of their forgotten fore-bearers stand testament to the long past glory of the Combine Realms foremost and regent in their era.
